Drupal 7 is the right way to do it, don't use OU Campus from Omni-Update, I just did it for my college, You need feeds modules for content migration from old sites, views modules integrated with other modules for most db query, use directly db_query as less as possible, Apache solr for all search, Boost, varnish, memche, apc for cache, performace, gather and interpret your requirements into your architecture. ldap, or shib sso for auth and authorization,

Anyone have anything pro or con to say about drupal? We're considering migrating our college website (currently plone) to drupal (another option is OU Campus from Omni-Update, but I don't expect that product is particularly relevant (though I'm happy to hear any feedback on it if anyone has any knowledge)). thanks so very much in advance for any feedback, ~c _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:40:29 -0400 From: Edgar Reyes <[email protected]> To: 'NYPHP Talk' <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] drupal?

One follow-up (about the steep and rocky learning curve) question: Does this entry barrier apply also to end users? As far as I'm concerned, steep and rocky learning curves are par for the course among those of us who do development work, but if (after our initial work has mostly been completed) the tasks of creating/editing content, and publishing/approval workflows still require some minimal "expert" level of knowledge, that's likely to be a show-stopper here. thanks again, ~c > > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > > http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation > _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 10:05:00 -0400 From: Steve Manes <[email protected]> To: NYPHP Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] drupal?

Once you get familiar with Drupal's templating system, CCK, Views, third party modules and the hook override architecture things like this are easy to build for Drupal and are extremely flexible. "Once you get familiar..." is easy to say though. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk End of talk Digest, Vol 81, Issue 9 *********************************** _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
