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:
- DARE project
- Forms online
- Essai sur le récit, ou entretiens sur la manière de raconter par François-Joseph Bérardier de Bataut
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.
Source code and licensing
Support for TEI
Drupal does not support TEI or TEI Lite "out of the box". Though, several modules or solutions can be implemented for a TEI-based web project:
- TEI-CHI (Drupal 7) - it was developped for [1].
- XML Content module (Drupal 6) - Read Stephanie Schlitz' blogpost on the subject. Unfortunately, this module is not under development anymore.
- The DARE project is expected to release a module for drupal.
- Some projects are using the Feed module for drupal. It allows some XPath queries thanks to a plug in for Feeds - see Poetic forms
It seems that using TEI encoded texts with Drupal implies whatever happens some degree of code and customization.
Language(s)
PHP and SQL are used by Drupal. For the handling of TEI encoded texte with Drupal XSLT or XPath will be required too.
Documentation
Tech support
Drupal is delivered as is, but there is a large community of users and a rather detailed documentation (see above).
There is a dedicated support page.
User community
There is some information about the community of users on the Drupal support webpage.
