CCK at the Zoo

Submitted by lauramba on 07/15/09 - 09:00 pm

Over the last year I've posted a couple of articles comparing Drupal, Joomla, and Moodle. One of my criticisms of Joomla has been the lack of CCK and the ability to create and define content types. If you've worked with Joomla you know that the program provides one content type called "Articles".

Yeah Drupal Theme Clubs

Submitted by lauramba on 05/03/09 - 09:00 pm

What are theme clubs and are they safe investments?

Have you seen the Drupal® purchased theme providers (aka clubs) that are starting to emerge on the horizon? I am delighted to see growth in this under-developed segment of the Drupal® landscape. As we all know, Drupal® is known for it's brains and brawn and not for it's good looks. Great! Looks are much less important to the core of the program than aesthetics.

What type of site should I use to create a site that is searchable and easily updated?

I recently received a question from a professional in Long Beach California who asks "Can I use a CMS like Joomla or Drupla to make a site searchable and easily updatable? Any suggestions?" My answer is YES! Drupal and Joomla are clearly great programs that make a site easy to update and search.

Here are some thoughts.

I spent the day in Building 43 at GooglePlex in Mountain View for the 2nd annual Joomla Day in the Bay Area. The fine folks with the Bay Area Joomla user's group put together an energetic unconference that helped users, administrators, and developers better understand how to use the open source software, Joomla.

Linux Expo

My first Linux Expo was informative and easy to navigate, much like a good database. I arrived in Los Angeles early Saturday to a full parking lot. That is usually a good indicator that an expo is going to be successful.
