Nieuw Social Networking E-boek

Drupal is een fantastisch framework, waar je om het even welk soort website mee kan bouwen. Deze ongelofelijk versatiliteit is een sterk punt, maar tegelijk ook een minpunt. In de vraag of je een social networking site kan maken, in de aard van Facebook, is de Ultimate Community Site Guide ontstaan. Aan de hand van de casestudie Drupalfun.com wordt stap voor stap beschreven hoe je te werk moet gaan om een full featured community site op te bouwen. Centraal in deze aanpak, is het gebruik van kant-en-klare modules, wat deze handleiding geschikt maakt voor iedereen, beginners, tot gevorderden die geinteresseerd zijn in een geintegreerde aanpak.

Van de achterflap:

More than 100 screenshots will guide the reader through the process of setting up a community site with the Drupal 5 or 6 framework. A number of popular topics, such as pro?les, picture and video galleries, maps, messaging, groups, friends etc will be discussed.

Drupal is one of the best content management systems (CMS) around. In fact, it has just won (for the second time) the Best Overall 2008 Open Source CMS Award and Best PHP Open Source CMS Award. For about 8 years now, Drupal has been providing users with one of the best and most versatile frameworks around. In this book, I will guide the reader through the di?erent modules needed to build a solid community site. And I go even further, by looking at how to structure content and making a few e, $, ¥, ?, £,. . . from your site. It is going to be an exploration
of modules and their features.

The main strategy of this book it to use only out-of-the-box, user contributed modules. So anybody can make a great site. This well thought strategy o?ers us the following advantages:

1. Easy to update.
2. Anyone can do it.
3. Expansive: at any time, you can install a module safely, to allow additional functionality.

Each topic will be explained using the fully integrated case study Drupalfun. Anyone can build a community site with Drupal after reading this book.
