Drupal has made any HTML coders’ dreams comes true! It is wildly popular because it provides a powerful, scalable, low cost, high value solution to manage and grow an internet presence.
All CMS’ have forum and blog capabilities, some of them often have myriads of different modules that you can use to extend the system capabilities; and Drupal has a vibrant and vivid community like no other CMS system (ready to answer your questions at any time), an open source solution Plone, PostNuke, or PHPNuke and commercial products like Microsoft SharePoint to named a few.
For those who still have their doubts about it, here is a little collection of what it has in store for you!
Drupal is known for its meticulously well-designed code. The design structure empowers the Drupal developers to write code that uses the system resources wisely (speed issues and concurrence problems are not likely to come into consideration).
For Website Content Management, it provides the ability to easily create, update, and organize the content of your website. Automates the repetitive processes of content creation and maintains consistency of appearance and organization of your content. It also has the choice to work for e-Commerce modules to enable you to sell products and services online.
“CCK” is one of the modules that allow you to define custom fields in your content types. “Views” can help you create different lists of quotations: you can sort them alphabetically, or display only quotations. It has lots of features (Search Engine Friendly URLs, categories, search function and many more) and modules to extend your site’s functionality too.
Building an awesome website from scratch is simple, requires less programming than the other CMS’. It is also easier to add new features and even reshape Drupal templates from a simple presentation site to a web application. You do not need to implement everything again from the scratch just to change something simple, just make the changes you want.
It has a Taxonomy module to make content easy to find and retrieve, with increasing amount of information; the problem of retrieving is becoming crucial in order to keep on living on the Internet world.Some typical Drupal usages:
- Content management – members can publish stories, blogs, polls, images, forums, etc.
- Classification system- allows hierarchical ordering, cross-indexing of posts and multiple categories sets for most content types.
- Weblog – a single installation can be configured as an individual personal weblog site or multiple individual weblogs.
- Discussion-based community – comment boards, attached to most content types, make it simple for members to discuss new posts, administrators can control whether content and comments are posted without approval.
- Collaboration – the project module is suitable for supporting other open source software projects.
Here are some benefits you can have working with it:
Code with <?php, code for the <menu>
- Organize the content of your website using menus, categories, and views
Code for the <label>, code for the <lynk/>
- It provides several ways to organize and dynamically display links to your content.
Code with <body> all days
- Use Custom Content Types to Increase the Speed and Consistency of Content Creation
Maybe tomorrow, <drupal> will take us away to a world where you can create anything you want on your website, without waiting to be load.
