Music, art prints, photography, and video. Eh?
chonald - April 16, 2008 - 07:51
I'm new to Drupal.
My website is located here: http://www.decuadros.org/
I'm looking to see if Drupal will work for me in replacing my current web layout. Is it possible to post music on a page, art, photos, and video, etc... using Drupal modules?
I would like a nice and easy way to post these things without editing each html file.
Thanks.
Drupal 5 is probably better
Drupal 5 is probably better for what you need.
Modules like "audio" haven't been developed for 6.
But there are modules for video stuff.
I nearly went with 5 as I have a site with the same sort of content, but in the end decided to use 6 & enter everything manually.

Thanks Steve. Should I just
Thanks Steve.
Should I just browse the Drupal 5 modules? Or could you recommend some for me?
Also, I've already installed Drupal 6. Do you know how I can clear out the SQL database for Drupal 5?
Modules
Modules
Audio : http://drupal.org/project/audio
works great, I love the 1 pixel out player & the way it can read & show the id3 tags.
Video : http://drupal.org/project/video
good all round solution supporting several formats.
Video Filter (YouTube, Google Video, Godtube and more...) : http://drupal.org/project/video_filter
I noticed you had videos from youtube so perhaps this module will be a good one for you ?
FlashVideo : http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo
more of a solution for uploading & converting vieos, good for video community sites I think.

Image stuff. There are a lot of solutions available but if your not going to have a site with loads of contributing users & will be doing it more or less by yourself, then perhaps these ones would suit your needs ?
Image : http://drupal.org/project/image
contains several modules : mass import, attachment & gallery.
Image Assist : http://drupal.org/project/img_assist
module that allows you to upload & insert images into posts - needs Image module installed first.
Lightbox2 : http://drupal.org/project/lightbox2
great for the Lightbox effect, like on my site & it integrates nicely with Image & Image Assist.
There are more but I find these three image modules work nicely together & used them when I first built a drupal 5 site.

For the db, either you can just delete the db & create a new one or just drop all the tables in the mySql admin on your host.
Hope that helps you a bit.
Thanks again. This will help
Thanks again.
This will help a lot.
Now I have to educate myself about how to setup my page and get it to look how I'd like.
Appreciate the help quite a bit.
Take care.
