ONLINE DRUPAL PPTS

3. What is Drupal?
• Open Source software written in php.
• A CMS or content-management system.
• A sophisticated web application building
tool.

4. What is a CMS?
• Simply put, a CMS is a website you build
using the website itself.
• Wikipedia definition: A content management system (CMS)
such as a document management system (DMS) is a
computer application used to manage work flow needed to
collaboratively create, edit, review, index, search, publish
and archive various kinds of digital media and electronic
text.

5. What can Drupal be?
• blog
• Forum
• Online newspaper, Portal / Directory
• Brocure site, portfolio, flickr like photo drop
• Social community site, job post board
• Video site like YouTube
• Project management site
• CRM, ERP, SCM, Wiki
• Shopping cart system
• E-learning, training site
• Dating site
• Anything you can think of…

6. Why use a CMS?
• It helps manage complexity.
• It provides a user interface (UI) for adding, editing
and publishing content.
• It provides a means for collaboration among many
to perform the above tasks.

7. Why use Drupal over Joomla? (or other CMS)
• It has superior session handling for a CMS.
• It has superior security.
• It is a more consistent, reliable and flexible framework for development.
• It is considered better for SEO from our research.
• It uses a ‘separation of concerns’ architecture to cleanly and consistently
separate structure, function, form, and presentation in layers (ie: php from data
as db/xml, layout and presentation as html and css).
• It heavily uses ‘defaults overrides’ in code in the form of hooks and in themes in
the form of templates.

8. Modules
• Packages of files in a directory that you upload into
drupal’s module space (/sites/all/modules)
• Add functionality to drupal
• ‘Core’ Modules come shipped with drupal
• ‘Contributed’ Modules are downloads from
drupal.org

9. Drupal Structure
• Drupal is a database-driven (‘dynamic’)
application. It requires a database.
• Drupal has a core filesystem whose
functionality can be extended using the UI
itself, modules and themes.

10. Themes
• Packages of files in a directory that you
upload into drupal’s theme space
(/sites/all/themes)
• Themes adjust the site layout and style. Like
‘skinning’ your media player.

11. Drupal Database
Drupal’s database tracks things like :
• Site and Module settings,
• User’s information,
• Access information,
• Logging information,
• Permissions and User Roles,

12. Nodes
• A node is the primary form of content in a
drupal site. At a minimum it is a title and a
body, and can be ‘specialized’.
• A ‘page’ and ‘story’ for example are node
types that have a specific node settings.

13. Nodes (cont)
• Not everything in Drupal is a node.
• This is important!!
• Ex: A user is not a node. A taxonomy is not a
node. An account is not a node.
• Knowing this is important for evaluation of
what can and cannot be easily done through
the UI, without additional programming.
