Case Study: YourPublicMedia.org

By dellis on

Yourpublicmedia.org is a curated news and arts portal built by the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN) that is dedicated to promoting high quality, local/regional content that is created by non-profit organizations from around Connecticut including: Connecticut Public Broadcasting (CPTV/WNPR) and a number of community partners including the Connecticut Historical Society, the CT Mirror (an independent, Knight-funded news organization), the New Haven Independent (a hyper-local news site), and Fairfield University. We are continuously working to secure additional content partners.

The idea that this site would consist of a curated experience was a very important one to us during the concept and design phase - the two national entities that we (CPBN) are associated with are PBS and NPR; two brands that have a long history and reputation for providing such content curation. We didn't want to simply turn this into a river-of-news-type site, and we recognized that neither our internal staff's capacity, nor the capacity of the non-profit groups we would be working with, would be able to add any meaningful value on this front with the for-profit local news agencies already working hard in this area, and auto-aggregated services like news.google.com providing incredibly useful resources to people looking for up-to-the-minute (breaking news) information.

Instead, we chose to leverage the longer-form coverage and focus on more in depth analysis that we consider a core competency, rather than the sort of coverage typically achieved within the breaking-news context.

A personal site for my projects

By makkeu on

Finally my new site is "finished": http://uusitupa.org. The base installation is Acquia Drupal. Drupal was an obvious choice, because of it's flexibility and great amount of contributed modules available.

The site has been done by using contributed modules from drupal.org, no custom modules were needed. Theme is made entirely by me.

Here is the list of most important modules:

Bikesonshow.com - a motorbike community converted from PHPBB

By websupportguy on

Although I still feel I have a lot of tweaking to do, I'm ready to get some peer feedback on my first Drupal website.

Bikes on Show (http://bikesonshow.com) has been around for 4-5 years as a PHPBB Plus portal/forum website, but I got stuck trying to upgrade to PHPBB3 so I decided to look for another platform - and Drupal looked like a good choice.

At first I thought I'd just integrate PHPBB3 into Drupal, but there were too many things I could not do using that model. So I converted the forums from PHPPB2 to PHPBB3 first, then used the 6.x version of the PHPBB conversion module to move them across to Drupal forums. I am still tidying up things like BBCODE and broken links in the forum topics, but mostly they are OK. I found that the forum redirection module did nothing for me, so I am writing my own redirections for each major PHPBB function.

The theme is a variation on FeverUltra, which was developed for the World Cup. I liked the way it uses views to rotate featured content on the home page, and it was also one of the very few themes I could find that has advanced forum support.

1st Drupal Website wiiiiii

By renezamm on

http://webxpressmalta.com/drupal/

Its my first drupal website which i have created and I am very happy.. What do you think? The only question i have is: for such a small website like I have created, is Drupal still the best CMS to use?? Why its so powerful next to other CMS`s?? Before Drupal I have used MODX and it was not that bad as well.
