This mirrors my own experience using content systems to build web sites, and why I moved on to frameworks. At some point there are just too many integration points where it becomes more costly to modify and maintain than building with a solid framework. Drupal is not really a framework and wasn't designed to be, but ome people have molded (twisted?) it to do more. -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
