Hello All!

I started learning Drupal... In my case the best way of learning is going through examples.

I've found this article:

http://drupal.org/node/241344

which describes in details the background of the page: http://myplay.com/ It's quite useful...

My question is: do you maybe know some Drupal demo instance (available on the net) with access to administration panel? Of course it may be read-only access, the only thing I want is to look at the settings of all particular modules and... learn :-)

I haven't found such a demo but I believe that it exists...

Greetings!

Yacoll.

Drupal is listed under "Portals: CMS":
http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132

To view specific modules beyond the basic install you will have to do an install on a test server or webhost.

Thanks Guys for your response!

Unfortunately - this is not exactly what I meant... Installation under link you provided is default one... And re-installed every 2 hours.

Default installation is minimalistic, I have my own installed on some test server and I've been doing exercises with it quite intensively during last 2 weeks... I've installed many additional modules but have some difficulties with configuring them... Quick look at professional setup would be very helpful.

So ideally I'd like to analyze some non-trivial installation. With "Views", "Panels", "Poormanscron", CCK and many other modules - installed and configured. I'd just like to watch their features "in action".

I know that it may be difficult to convince some professional Drupal administrator/developer to share his knowledge... But I believe that it's possible :-)

Best regards!

Yacoll.

While it doesn't have everything you're looking for, you might check out our sandbox sites: details here.

Yeees! That's exactly what I mean. Thanks you very much, Roople, you've been very helpful!

Any additional proposals would be much appreciated :-)

Best regards!

You could also run a local installation of Drupal. You could do so by installing XAMPP (or any other http server), extract Drupal into a subfolder of the htdocs folder (c:\xampp\htdocs\drupal) and access it at http://localhost/drupal.

This way, you don't need to go through the hassle of setting it up on a remote machine through FTP. Just a thought.

Edit: You can see an article regarding this here: http://drupal.org/node/75537

Thanks for your advice!

As I've written before there's no problem wi default installation. Neither on some remote machine nor localhost.

The problem is with getting access to some well-configured, working instance of Drupal.

But fortunately Roople gave us a good example above :-)
