Please let me know if you have knowledge about some important sites that use Drupal CMS and have multi-language support. I know this is a job done using some google research but I really need a quick turnaround. I appreciate all the answers.
http://www.drupalsites.net is a nice site that lists drupal sites.
Here is a list of tags of sites made in drupal in all languages.

How about http://fedex.com/

I don't know if there is a sub-stackoverflow page for asking Wordpress questions, sorry if I'm doing it wrong now.
I want to develop a multi-language website wherein certain pages do exist for a language, and wherein some languages don't have the page.
ENG:
www.site.com/*EN*/services
NL:
www.site.com/*NL*/services --> 404 not found - because we don't deliver services in NL..
What's the best workaround for this? --> I've looked up multi-language plugins, lots of possibilities...
Thanks for reading and responding!
Based on your requirements it sounds like WPML is the best solution for you. I have used it many times. It provides the exact functionality you are looking for.

If it is difficult to integrate or not recommended, I would like to go with Drupal since I am more comfortable with it. But I don't know how difficult it is to customize the look and feel of PHPBB forum to match Drupal website. (I can theme Drupal).
Thanks for your suggestion.
For Joomla! there is RokBridge which does not require code modifications.
RocketThemes also offers matching themes for Joomla!, Drupal and phpBB, but they are not (all) free.
If you can embed the forum in the CMS, check out the Drupal module phpBBforum.
For Joomla there also appears to be an extension, though I haven't worked with this one: Mehdi's Phpbb THREE bridge
I'm building an estimate for a potential client. I'll do some more research if I get the project, but need some ideas for now. I'm trying to figure out a good solution that won't take several months to develop but will still provide good flexibility for future enhancements.
My options I believe are:
cms+e-commerce plugin (e.g. drupal+ubercart)
e-commerce platform that is extendable (e.g. magento)
framework+e-commerce platform (e.g. ci+magento)
cms+e-commerce (e.g. wordpress+magento)
The site will be similar to etsy where users can have items that they sell with their own portfolio page. The client wants to add many custom features as well. Also, the site will serve up a lot of images and audio.
I'm concerned that using strictly a e-commerce platform will give me a lot of obstacles to overcome rather than use just a cart+framework. I know Magento is written on Zend, but while I have used Magento, I'm not very familiar with Zend and it seems to take quite a while to learn.
I have never used ubercart,wp e-commerce, or virtuemart, so I'm not sure of the limitations. The products will not need to be configurable. But we will need to store financial information. I'm thinking braintree's vault or authorize.net cim.
I'd like to do the framework+ecommerce platform route. But the client would also like a lower price option, I'm leaning towards drupal+ubercart.
Just would like some opinions from personal experience.
Thanks!
If you use drupal and ubercart in future please read the book http://www.usingdrupal.com/ Using drupal by reading its chapter of ubercart you can easily create e-commerce website after reading this book ubercart chapter within a day . There is a book which is completely wriiten on ubercart https://www.packtpub.com/drupal-e-commerce-ubercart-2x/book. These both books will be very helpful to you for ubercart.
I've just created an e-commerce store with Wordpress and using the plugin Jigoshop for the ecommerce.
We use Wordpress as our CMS for all our clients and we've also branded it via plugins so there's no mention of Wordpress, it just acts like OUR cms.
Jigoshop is very easy to incorporate, it can be used very easily straight out of the box but as our site was very bespoke we tailored a lot of it just by using CSS. Very easy to use and comes complete with everything you need.
I tried various other ecommerce plugins for WP but they were quite difficult to tailor.
All really straightforward providing you have a basic grasp of HTML, CSS and PHP.
I worked with wordpress and some free open source commerce plug-ins. This was really a pain! I ended up programming my own low scale solution. Later I also worked with ubercart and drupal. The latter was one of my most motivating experiences with drupal. I found that drupal with ubercart can do everything what i and my customer wanted. I strongly recommend drupal...but i've never worked with magento...
I think wordpress is enough because wordpress is now a biggest platform in wordpress with millions of plugins oops sorry not millions, billions of plugins you just have to find a plugin which suits to you and your site content well for e commerce i recommend e-shop 5.0 its a great plugin.
Could somebody tell me which drupal module is this site using: http://gallery.menalto.com/forum
Also could somebody tell me how it'd be if I use it on my new site for forum discussion for 2000 people daily? I'm looking for simple discussion forum with following functionality:
Easy maintenance
I should be able to easily remove spammy user posts
Some sort of spam prevention.
I'd be using Drupal-6 and not 7.
Yes, the link you provide is the Drupal forum.
Drupal isn't exactly famous for its forum - some sites even use third party forums which are bridged to Drupal.
Nonetheless, the most "direct" and easy-to-maintain forum for Drupal would probably be Drupal itself.
You can use Mollum for spam prevention.
The third-party forums primarily distinguish themselves in offering granular privileges to moderators of specific forums. If you don't need this, I'd stick with the Drupal forum module.
Notice also Erik Ahlswede's answer here - in addition to the standard Drupal Forum, it appears to be running the Advanced Forum module, which provides some of the extra functionalities - however, as Michele notes, it this isn't actually the Advanced Forum module, it's some hacks which provide similar functionalities.
No, they aren't using Advanced Forum. They are using Drupal's forum but heavily customized. They customized their forum before AF even existed, back in D5. If their changelog is accurate, they haven't upgraded.
That said, if you want a site that looks like that, AF will get you pretty close. With 2K people daily, do you mean visitors or active posters? One thing you need to watch out for is performance as Drupal's forum has a couple nasty queries and AF has them as well since it builds on top.
For a bit of trivia... I actually came to Drupal when looking for something to let me add text to my Gallery 2 site and their forum was an inspiration for AF in the early days. :)

That may be the Advanced Forum module. It extends Drupals core module and adds ways to create forum themes.
I'm looking for a wordpress-like blog interface to put inside a Joomla hosted site. The admin interface of Joomla is quirky enough and hard enough to use that daily updates are infeasible.
What I am looking for is an easy-to-use posting interface that supports multiple users with different accounts/names, a tagging scheme, and easy find by date/user/tag functionality.
In particular I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-deploy, out-of-the-box solution, and would prefer not to hack rss feeds together or write too much custom code. I know there are several extensions out there but they all receive largely mixed reviews... Has anyone used any of these? Or has anyone had experience putting something like this together?
Well you could do this - have a wordpress installation. Get the users to post there and then use the RSS feed from it (or the XML RPC Blogging API) to update the Joomla installation. You will have to write the update piece once, but then all the headache is gone.
I'm not trying to be smart here, but if the admin interface of Joomla isn't working for you, aren't you doing yourself a disservice by trying to patch their UI instead of spending your time looking for a CMS that is easier to manage/a better fit for your user base?
Edit: All of the CMS's I've dealt with in ASP.NET are homegrown. However I'm looking into checking out Umbraco based on the recommendations of two well-respected friends. In the case you presented where you already have content in Joomla and a migration out to another CMS is going to be overkill, I think that vaibhav has got it right. You should look into setting up Wordpress or some other blogging engine and then simply have Joomla consume the content and display it in the Joomla site. I've not done it, but from what I remember of Joomla when I was looking at it, I believe that it would support this.
After doing a bit more research I decided to go with the open source MojoBlog. It was quite easy to install and configure and after a few stalls and hang ups that were resolved via perusal of their forums I was up and running. The edit interface is not ideal but it much better than Joomla admin, and it has multi-user-support, tag categorization, modules for viewing by tag, date, etc. Think it will suffice for my needs in the short term.
