So the idea is simple. I need a learning management system for drupal. Whateve it's a extension or module.
I tried to google it and reached opigno. But it will totally take way to much time to fix it's styles out for 21 century. And also, it's pretty useless. Makes to much problems.
I'd be grateful to any one who will give me any idea!
Thanks,
Kind Regards.
I searched for a school management system module but no result,
If you are not bound to use drupal you may find many plugins in wordpress for the title you mentioned.
you can view the following as an example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress/
or this one:
https://themeforest.net/item/lms-learning-management-system-education-lms-wordpress-theme/7867581
and if you forced to find something for drupal I didn't find with my previous search.

I need to make a website for my hockey club. My main purpose for this site is allowing people to sign in and post articles and training schedules in their section. Eg Mens, Womens, Juniors and Masters. I want to have some kind of upload manager that will allow them to choose where they post the info too (eg, Mens, Masters and Homepage).
This is the main functionality I'm looking for at the moment.
The clubs previous website used Joombla which I have hated. I found it to be way to restrictive. Its on a old version of it so there are probably many improvements in the new version but from what I've read it seems like it still has a lot of restrictions in how content is managed. I am open to trying it again tho.
I've used Wordpress before and liked it but that was on a small scale projects and I'm not sure it really fits what I'll be trying to do here, since it mostly deals with blog posts and I'll need to have functionality to upload and display files.
I've had a look around at some other ones like Squarespace and Silverstripe. I'm really liking the simplicity of silverstrip(one thing I hate about Joombla is the clutter on the opening page) and am leaning towards it right now if I can find a nice way to have people post news to multiple pages at once.
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be very welcome. I know html, css, javascript and a bit of php. I'm learning Ruby atm so wouldn't be against using it so I could learn more but it might be a bit much for a sports website.
First off, its nice to see someone that likes hockey too :) You can't use Squarespace, you'll need an Apache server for what you want. You will need some way to store information, so you'll need a MySQL database, probably some advanced knowledge of PHP (I'm assuming you don't know how to connect to databases and do some other functions). Wordpress is too limited, so you can't use that. I have never used Silverstripe personally, but it seems like the best of your options here. You'll probably need some more knowledge of PHP before you attempt to make a members system.
I have been asked to convert an entire site that is currently using wordpress to Plone 4.1. I have no experience using Plone and I was wondering if anyone has attempted this before? I had a look and can't find much information about converting to Plone and I was wondering if anyone had come across some good advice? This does seem like a rather big task...
Thanks,
Fraser
Yes, someone already performed that specific migration:
http://davisagli.com/blog/notes-on-migrating-this-blog-from-wordpress-to-plone
As the author says, another approach to this task it's :
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.transmogrifier
Adam Terry will be giving a talk on the easy way of converting sites like this in 2 days at the Plone Conference in San Francisco. I would recommend attending (for many reasons, not just that talk).
Failing that, the short summary of the talk is two tools.
Diazo (or now called plone.app.theming) - Makes replicating an existing theme much easier.
and
Funnelweb (which does all the collective.transmogrifier stuff for you) - Makes coverting all the content easier.
Note: this is an approach for any site, not just wordpress. It relies on webcrawling a site. An approach which directly reads the database, if you have access, might be easier and cleaner.
This is a massive task, not difficult, but time consuming. Its not really a question that can be answered on stackoverflow, but i can point you in the right direction of some decent doco.
Here is a good place to start - http://noenieto.com/blog/theming-plone-4
Beware, Plones theming engine is very different to anything you will have experienced before. If i was you I would firstly create a static template of your theme and build on that. I have been developing plone skins for 5+ years now, and i always start with a static theme.
Many plone developers are using Diazo / Deliverance to develop plone themes, maybe take a look at those too...
Good luck, im afraid you're going to need it!
I know almost nothing about this sort of thing, so please forgive the newbie question.
I want to put together an open-source online literature annotation system. I hear this sort of thing is easier to do with frameworks like Drupal or Django, but I don't know very much about them. I found some Drupal plugins that handle text annotation. Is that the best way to go?
Oh by the way, if anyone is interested in contributing, please contact me, because I could use all the help I could get. I've been putting up ideas at http://hyperlit.tiddlyspace.com/
Annotator by Open Knowledge Foundation might do what you want - used by OpenShakespeare...dual MIT/GPL, code is on Github, has a couchdb backend but you can develop your own storage since it is separate from the javascript annotation tool.
I have an idea to use drupal as a document repository and integrate okfn annotator but very much an idea, not a project (yet) - my particular use case is commenting on legislation/draft legislation.
For Drupal, these potentially might do what you want (in various states of development/functionality):
Open Review
Yellow
marker
discussions on Marginalia but no
movement
Sticky Notes and other older modules did not fit my use case
[ http://drupal.org/project/sticky_notes ]
EDIT: Commentpress for wordpress might get you up and running quickly with limited features.
I'm trying to find a relatively simple solution to deploy a website that allows someone to select an orphan and donate to that orphan. Each orphan would be a part of a orphanage...
I looked into Drupal and Ubercart but I didn't know enough about it at the time... felt kinda lost. Could someone point in the right direction? I'd like to use an open-source solution and as many pre-built modules as possible.
Definately drupal - you are right when you say drupal is a bit much to take in, but with the right links, it's not so bad
http://diasporan.net/content/drupal-and-ngos-dango-modules-and-install-profile
That's everything you need, all packaged in a nice install profile. An install profile is like a C make file, it "compiles" drupal for you for a specific use case. Google "drupal install profiles" for more info (Hint, if you see pages explaining "Drush make" you're on the right track)
This can be done in both ways.
I would do it with joomla though, in my opinion it is much more powerful than drupal, has a bigger community behind, and there are many free add-ons.
You can use hikashop as your shopping cart solution. It is is simple shopping cart solution that works very well with joomla.
I made this e-shop using joomla & hikashop recently.
Well, I'm sorry but the best way would be simple and fast with Prestashop.
See you!
Note: I like Joomla! and Drupal but when it comes to ecommerce well... Lets hope that soon prestashop can be integrated with joomla and drupal.
You can use drupal because its a very powerful cms.
The best part is that manages the database very effectively so, if in future your data size increases, then you don't have to worry about it.
The installation is very easy. just visit drupal.org.
The community of drupal is very supportive.
I've started figuring out drupal, and so far most of the results are just ugly.
May be I need to learn it in something similar to a real-life project.
I thought — to reproduce this site's functionality might be a good learning project. But I need help. :)
Without assuming this site is based on drupal (it most likely is not — too quick, I think) is there a way to build something similar in functionality (yes, slower, OK if not as fancy as this one, but close) with existing drupal modules and schemes (or with minimal tweaking)?
Or drupal is not good enough for that?
Or — is it too complicated project for a student?
Which existing modules and schemes might help to build something similar?
(No competition is intended with stackoverflow.)
Firstly, Drupal is by no means a slow system, actually it works quite well.
Secondly, this has been already asked and answered here.
By the way Drupal has a medium learning curve but, once you learn how to use you'll find it simple and you'll find it will satisfy almost everything you want to do with it. Its plugin system is just great and it's very SEO friendly (I don't get paid from Drupal I swear, I just happen to like it a lot)
My website is made in drupal if you wanna take a look (is in spanish though).
-Is there a way to build something similar [to stackoverflow] in functionality with existing drupal modules and schemes (or with minimal tweaking)?
It's a good idea to try and learn a new technology by trying to make a real-world project. But if you're intention is to actually learn drupal, then trying to solve the problem with exiting modules and "a minimal amount of tweaking", you might not learn very much!
-Or drupal is not good enough for that?
Drupal is certainly capable of the type of functionality implemented here, and much more.
-Or — is it too complicated project for a student?
It depends on the student. Different people have different abilities. Your mileage may vary.
Some suggestions that might possibly help:
There's a Drupal distribution for it ... (not just a 'module'), i.e ArrayShift. Quote from its project page:
A question/answer site built to emulate the core functionality of sites on the StackExchange platform, such as:
StackOverflow.
Drupal Answers.
There is a Drupal theme for it, i.e the ArrayShift Theme. Here is a screenshot (from its project pages):
It has been in a kind of unsupported status until recently, though the updated project page contains a roadmap to get it going again for D7 (and D8 later on).
Disclosure: I'm the (new) maintainer of ArrayShift (and its related modules and theme),
I hope this does not violate the site's policy on self-promotion.
