How Publishers can use Drupal to build a cost-effective, scalable content platform Join Go Sportn President and Founder Ned Desmond as he walks through how and why he built bassmaster.com on Drupal distribution OpenPublish, running on Acquia Managed Cloud. Bassmaster.com is the website for the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, or B.A.S.S., with more than a half-million members. Bassmaster.com is the digital home for many annual bass angler tournaments, where members connect, share results and talk about the sport of bass fishing. In this webinar, Ned will walk the audience through the process Bassmaster.com went through to select Drupal, OpenPublish and Acquia Managed Cloud. He will discuss his CMS, design and hosting requirements for the site and why they ultimately choose the Drupal distribution OpenPublish developed by Phase2 Technology. Additionally, he'll discuss the process of selecting a hosting provider for the site and why they chose Acquia Managed Cloud. Ned will share the lessons his team learned along the way while building a high traffic publishing site on open source Drupal. This webinar is intended for business decision-makers and site owners. Attendees will learn: how to evaluate key CMS requirements when making technology selection how OpenPublish made the Drupal selection process easier how to approach Drupal site development and operations to ensure successful outcomes

Acquia Commons off-the-shelf is a ready-to-use, open source solution for building social business community sites. Without any customization, individuals can easily create communities for collaboration and corporate communication, or they can create communities for targeted audiences like developers and customer support teams. There can be, however, circumstances where specific site requirements must be met, leading to an increased demand for customization and additional configuration tricks to “make it work.” During this webinar, we will explore the most popular customizations for Commons, including how to deploy them. We’ll also discuss issues like adding new menu items, working with filters, making modifications to views, and more!

MongoDB -- from "humongous" -- is an open source, non-relational, document-oriented database, supported in Drupal 7. The goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). Nosh Petigara of 10gen, the company that develops and supports MongoDB, will introduce the basic functionality of MongoDB and common deployment strategies. Following this introduction, Doug Green of Examiner.com, a top 100 North American website, will talk about how Examiner.com pioneered the use of MongoDB and Drupal to serve millions of dynamic pages (no page caching) every day. This session will teach you how and why you should use several new MongoDB-based modules created by Examiner.com to speed up your site. We'll cover using MongoDB field storage to read and write complete documents in a single query, using MongoDB watchdog to store application logs with counts and automated rollover at virtually no system cost, using MongoDB block for sites with many blocks and complicated visibility rules, and using MongoDB sessions and queues because these are extremely fast. Learn how to query using Field API or directly in MongoDB and how to write great NoSQL queries and create indexes.

The thought of migrating your website to a modern CMS like Drupal might seem intimidating, however in most cases the benefits will far outweigh the challenges. That's what the team at Multnomah County realized. During a site-wide redesign, they were faced with decision of upgrading their 61 Vignette sites from version 7.3 to 7.5 or choosing an alternate solution like Drupal. After spending months slowly upgrading a few sites at a time, spending thousands of dollars, and in the end not gaining the functionality they needed - it was time for a change.Join Acquia and our guest speaker - Joshua Mitchell, Applications Manager General Government/Open Source from Multnomah County - for this one hour webinar where we will discuss how he and his team successfully turned around their website redesign project. Drupal not only sped the process of launching and maintaining new sites, but also allowed them to move their hosting infrastructure to the cloud, significantly reducing long term costs.

Drupal website developers are often called upon to help website users easily format text when they create new pages or nodes. HTML is the preferred way to format text but users don't always have proficiency with the markup language and sometimes prefer to have an interface that formats their HTML language for them - not unlike the formatting buttons in Microsoft Word. This screencast covers one method of adding easy HTML formatting to your Drupal website with the Wysiwyg module and the open source editor tool called CKEditor. To make the best use of this screencast, you should have basic knowledge of Drupal 7 site configuration including how to create content and edit content and how to install new modules.

Someone asked recently what I think about Joomla . It’s a great framework and platform to build websites on top of. It’s still largely unfriendly, though. I know there are tons of modules, but it’s just so user UNfriendly.
Some people would be intent on comparing Joomla with something like WordPress. WP is a great blogging platform at this time, and it’s working on being for more than just blogging. Joomla is better being compared to Drupal. If I had to choose between Drupal and Joomla, I’d go with Joomla any day of the week.
I’ve yet to find a framework out there in open source land that is user friendly. I say that the reason that this is is due to developers getting ahold of things. Usability is usually the last thing on a developer’s mind. That’s how we end up with these unweildy experiences.
Joomla fans will gripe at me to just learn it. However, if I look at something and feel as though I might screw it up, I tend not to touch it. If a program or framework is steeped in a usability nightmare, I want nothing to do with it.
