DRUPAL 101

  • Barriers : static HTML & org capacity
  • CMS : WP has biggest market, Drupal is 2nd
  • Reviewing the UI


  • DRUPAL

- MySQL

- broader Platform than WP

- includes API > functions out of the box

Drupal is a software and requires hosting for Apache and MySQL

Drupal 8 releases twin 2 versions are supported (D6&7 currently)

Drupal has a big focus on contributed modules



Out of the box. Drupal Core has a fair amount of functions (less than WP) Drupal must be built in order to be useful

Drupal.org > Project > DL & Extend (>Themes)

Custom themes are often made with base theme


  • ROLES

can be assigned to org members permissions can be assigned to different roles


  • FIELDS

- each content type has a field

- fields are configured after content type is made

-fields also include widgets, expanding the field function


  • MODULES

- WYSIWIG

- there are standards that help build the site

- more modules await in Drupal

- a lot can be done with modules


  • EXAMPLE : KRC (Korean Resource Center)

Drupal code and modules


  • RULE : don't hack core


  • ADAPTIVE Theme is a good base theme, this can be built on


  • Something about BackDrop

- is a fork of Drupal

- takes from D7 and pulls back D8

- this allows smaller sites to stay up longer

- simplifies some drupal functions

  • DRUPAL 8 will improve its extensive multilingual functions
