Synopsis

Drupal is an open source web content management platform written in PHP and largely driven by a relational database (MySQL, Postgres, etc). Primarily designed for HTML, Drupal has been used for a number of TEI projects. See a thread on the TEI-L as well as a 2013 summary of previous threads.

Some examples:

Features

A rather propagandistic description of Drupal's features are available on the Drupal website. It is a rather complex CMS, but with many more features than wordpress. Drupal Core (the basic installation) can be largely extended, notably through the "Views" module that will be integrated into Drupal Core for the 8th version.

User commentary

Please sign all comments. (please leave the above note about signing comments, and add signed comments here below it)

System requirements

  • Apache is recommended, but other solutions are possible
  • Database: depending on drupal's versions, MySQL or postgreSQL are usually better, but Oracle or MS SQL Server are possible with som additional extensions. More precision.
  • PHP:
   * Drupal 6: PHP 4.4.0 or higher (5.2 recommended).
   * Drupal 7: PHP 5.2.5 or higher (5.3 recommended).
   * Drupal 8: PHP 5.3.10 or higher.
   * More precisions.
