The TurnKey Linux Virtual Appliance Library is an open source project developing a free virtual appliance library that pre-integrates the very best server-oriented open source software. TurnKey Linux appliances are simple, ready-to-use servers that are designed to "just work" and can be deployed in minutes on a virtual machine, bare metal or in the cloud.
The purpose of this case study is to discuss our experience using Drupal to implement TurnKey's web site.
My buddy and I worked hard on a simple, easy to navigate website for a local surfer legend. The main thing is we wanted it to look pretty, and I think we accomplished that. We are moving on to more flash based web sites in the future, but drupal served us well. We might make some themes in the future. Thanks Drupal for making it possible.
The goal of the site is to create an educational community where drug users can share their experiences with drugs. People looking for information about drugs like nicotine, marijuana, and alcohol can then come on our site and learn from real people that have used these drugs. We hope to serve as an alternative to the ineffective drug education methods currently being used in the USA (Gov't programs like D.A.R.E, Above the Influence ads, and the media). We feel that real drug users have an authority on the topic of drug use that the current educational methods cannot replicate and we believe this makes our site a valuable education resource.
Drupal stuff....
This site exhibits the fivestar module in ALL of its glory. Anonymous users can rate and review each drug featured on the site using the fivestar module. The ratings are then compiled and averaged for each drug to create overall ratings. Without fivestar (http://www.drupal.org/project/fivestar) this website would of not been possible.
We also took these fivestar ratings and integrated the results into the Views module to make the drugs sortable by the various rating categories (see http://www.drugcritics.com/drugs).
Modules used include:
Tokens
CCK
Views
views-attached
user_relationships
rules
formblock
imagecache
content-profile
auto-node-title
xml-playlist
and many more(the list is quiet long) and some custom changes to modules
