Replacement for Ideatorrent Using Common Drupal Modules

I was about to post this on the idea torrent site but it looks pretty abandoned.

I built a site for my company that emulates most of the functions of ideatorrent and added a few more things using popular Drupal modules. Previously I had used ideatorrent but I found it difficult to use because it was not built into drupal.

Its built based on Organic Groups, vote up/down, rules, taxonomy, views and cck, formfilter (to hide some of the groups data that are not needed). The basic display was created by using the group as the idea and posts in the group as solutions. Vote up/down was used for the voting. Taxonomy was used to create the different classifications (popular ideas, ideas in development, implemented ideas). I used the rules engine to automatically assign a taxonomy tag to a group when it was submitted which could be changed by the admin.

Views were used to create the lists of ideas in the various categories.

Advantages to this path is easy creation of other views, integration of wysiwyg, file attachments in the idea, notifications of comments and additions and the ability to build groups to help implement the idea. The individual components are all well supported.

I don' have the skills to turn this into a more self contained module but I'd love to see this idea a little more refined by the community.

Our best looking site ever - http://www.cityhairremoval.com/

A brave statement and obviously not the best looking Drupal site ever, just ours.
cityhairremoval.com is a hair removal beauty website, written in Drupal 6.
We chose Drupal 6 rather than 7, because we have still not set-up Varnish. However without Varnish as a reverse proxy, we have had great success tuning the APC module with cacherouter to give some very fast page return times (better than memcache on our humble virtual box).
The client brief was as follows. "We want it to:

  • look beautiful
  • create a great first impression
  • be SEM friendly"

Only local images are allowed.
Our client liked the look of a few flash sites, so our first task was to convince our client that we could do a great job without resorting to Flash, and all the damage that might do to search engine rankings. We feel we achieved this with two simple tricks

  • Firstly we used the splash module to create a completely custom landing page www.touchsmooth.com/hair-removal/splash although we love the splash module, it does at times feel unreliable and does not seem to fire all the time.

Todeschini | Furniture Company from Brazil uses Drupal 6.20

Todeschini is the biggest furniture company in Latin American with more than 60 years of history, and its website has a fundamental role in the company’s marketing, specially in the relationship with clients and stores worldwide.

With more than 120.000 visits and 1.500.000 pages views monthly, the website is the first contact between Todeschini and thousands of clients, making it an important tool for searching Todeschini’s products and stores.

Thus, we had to create a website with an awesome visual that would not leave performance aside.

Although MMDA has been using Drupal since 2008, the previous website of Todeschini was using a CMS developed with ASP3.

So, to migrate the content to Drupal, we used Node Import module, which has a good configuration interface to import data and is able to import a lot of content ready to be put to production.

We chose version 6.20 for Todeschini’s website because it has many modules ready to be implemented and a lot of support from the community. Next, the list of modules used by area:

- Development area: Administration menu, Devel (to be more specific, we used Devel Generate to create markup content), Module filter, ModuleInfo, Taxonomy Manager, Poormanscron, LoginToboggan, Conditional Stylesheets.

tiPythia Trading Diaries: A social investing marketplace.

What is tiPythia Trading Diary Exchange?

tiPythia Trading Diary Exchange provides an online marketplace for creating, sharing and selling trading diaries and investment strategies. Successful investors can make money by selling subscriptions to their trading diaries to other investors through tiPythia Marketplace. Users who subscribe get visibility into their individual trades and receive alerts as trades are opened and closed allowing them to replicate investment returns. tiPythia can be used to track trading performance as a tool, to practice trading strategies, or if you are already a successful trader, sell subscriptions to your trading diaries online. The earnings that the tiPythia website collects through selling online subscriptions to trading & investment diaries are redistributed back to the diary creators (less the website percentage fee).

Background

tiPythia was started as a start-up project in 2009. While a handful of new social investing websites existed for tracking and publishing portfolios, none had addressed the reason why anyone would be motivated to do so in the first place. Many of these sites were reliant on advertising revenue to survive and most burnt through their start-up capital and disappeared.
