Title: Drupal?
Post by: y00tz on September 23, 2007, 04:34:52 PM

Is Drupal any good?  I'm sure you'll be delighted to know, I'm phasing out ASP.Net and ditching my Windows server... I'm on of you guys now.

Never used it, never felt a need to try any other CMS after acquainting myself with Joomla.

Check out www.opensourcecms.com, very helpful.

I tried Joomla for a bit (the customer requested it) it was actually one of the reasons I didn't switch to Linux :P  I'm kidding, I just didn't click with Joomla.  Thanks for the link also, I forgot it even existed!

DRUPAL IS LOVE.

Map database = no programming (although it does desire some features, like voting criteria, which there is no extension for yet [i.e. you need to program it if you want it]).

The only downside to Drupal is the learning curve, but give it a few days and you'll get the hang of it.

And, get modules. Here's DP Resource's list:

Joomla is HATE.

I agree about the Joomla comment :P

I have some downloading to do... I was checking out some of these modules, and yeah, I could definitely created stuff with very little programming, sweet thanks.

It doesn't come off as efficient, beautiful, or professional. It looks like bad open source. It also doesn't seem to have the modularity of Drupal, which is the most powerful selling point of Drupal.

Joomla was just icky for me, I may have had a bad experience, I don't know.

Sk89q, thanks for the help with the modules, I'm getting a ton of them as we speak... so much reading to do now :-\
