Show off your Drupal site

Exactly One year ago (and ten hours) I embarked on a mission to recreate the wonderful times I had chatting and exploring the MUDS, and MOO's of the early nineties. I was a frequent visitor to Lambda MOO, Jay's House, and a host of other online text only versions of multi-user dungeons. I was a huge fan or Pavel Curtis' MOO code. When I first began learning PHP, I thought the two had a lot in common. I was also a little amazed at the lack of web based multi-user dungeons. I remember the days of having to work a miracle to find (as a measly little undergraduate) a unix server that would allow me to unpack a MUD tarball on it. Given that anyone could run a web page these days, I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to make a Multi-User Dungeon that ran on Drupal?" What a cool concept of allowing anyone to start a MUD very easily and without shell access on a Unix box. I thought that Drupal would be an excellent platform because of its modularity and object based interface. MUD's and MOO's are inheritly based on objects and what better object to make the base than a node? The hook system as well would allow any part of the system to react with any other part of the system and the jquery would make real time events such as chatting, and real time combat easy to do.

Hello!

Sid Valley Tree Surgery has just had a re-design so thought I'd post it here. It makes heavy use of Panels and Panels Everywhere, which are the excellent modules developed by merlinofchaos. I love using them and photoshop to put together sites - it means my clients can have designs made just for them without me being a themer.

So your verdict for a site which didnt touch PHP?? Let me know what you think...

All the best, Joe

MicroAssist, an Austin technology training and consulting company, has re-launched its web site using Drupal. The Drupal reconstruction allowed us to rapidly develop new features and streamline the content management process. Drupal developers Pavel Karoukin and Jacob Williams share a few of the techniques used to build the new site.

About MicroAssist

For over two decades, MicroAssist has been a trusted partner for countless organizations in need of custom E-Learning, classroom training, and technology services. As one of Central Texas’ most experienced software education centers, a primary training vendor for the State of Texas, and a Microsoft Certified Solution Partner, MicroAssist has successfully worked with clients in a wide range of fields in both the private and public sectors.

Why Drupal

The previous version of the MicroAssist website was built in the DotNetNuke CMS within a Windows server environment. Deficiencies of the existing website were identified in several areas:

1. Accessibility
2. Search engine optimization
3. Content Management
4. New feature development
5. Security
6. Web site performance
7. Marketing tools

Accessibility

It is now for quite some time i'm using a bunch of modules i built for my projects.
I call the entire package N-Tuple.
The purpose of modules is to extend the drupal frameworking capabilties.
Modules were developed based on concepts of ER modeling.

I set up a demo website with several different pages describing the modules and option to try it online.(You will need to login for that)

The launch of the website www.independentmusic.co.za aims to assist independent South African musicians in getting their music to their fans.

There is a wealth of dynamic and world class music produced in South Africa by talented and independent local musicians. This website provides a platform through which they can sell their albums both locally and internationally, while ensuring they are properly compensated financially for each album sale. (We don't do Mp3s at this time.)

The musicians themselves decide how much the album (CD) will sell for. The website retains an extremely modest commission of R25 of the sale price of each album, with the balance going directly to the musicians involved in creating the music.

If you're passionate about music, ordering CD's through this website is the best way to support the South African music industry, secure in the knowledge that the bulk of the price of each CD is going where it should, to the musicians.

If you're a musician wanting to sell your album, then this site was designed for you. Sign up for an account on the website and make your music available for your fans to order online.

Visit www.independentmusic.co.za for more information or to browse through the range of albums of all genres available on the site.
Feel free to contact us with any queries via the website or email us at info@independentmusic.co.za.
