 The simple things: Joomla vs Drupal & menus

Quick rant time - we're putting together a fairly large site in Drupal at the moment which has a bunch of menus. 

Most Open Source CMS' (incl both Drupal and Joomla) allow you to setup blog and list displays of content - which really aide in keeping the number of menu items down, but sometimes an aesthetic will require you to build out many menus - which can be confusing and time-taking to manage.

Interview with iJoomla Founder Merav KnafoiJoomla Magazine is an excellent extension that has vastly improved the CMS experience for publishers using Joomla. The component has undergone a great deal of development since its first releases, and has been given a big thumbs-up by critics as well us developers and publishers. PHP Magazine Network contacted Merav Knafo, iJoomla's founder, for an interview about the iJoomla experience.

1- Merav, why do publishers need iJoomla Magazine?

Because Joomla may be great for blogs, but not everyone wants a site that looks like a blog! When I started with Joomla, I tried to use core Joomla and was always disappointed with the result. It looked okay but it just didn't give me the slick look I was after. That's why I've created iJoomla Magazine. It allows you to make your site appear really professional and clean.

What is Drupal?

In a recent Slaw comment, Connie asked if someone would write something about Drupal. Subsequent comments from Patrick and Simon gave brief summaries, but I thought I’d go a bit further, and try to relay some of the basics surrounding this type of web software.

Briefly, Drupal is an open source CMS, written for the LAMP stack, which is modular in design. What does this mean? Well, let’s start with a couple definitions.

In January 2007, my new boss wanted to port current home made CMS to a solid platform.

No more custom CMS!

This is a rant. And it is a rant on behalf of the hundreds (thousands?) of nonprofit organizations whose website is stuck behind a custom CMS - one that was written by some web development shop or another, and migration off of that custom CMS is going to be a nightmare.
