Drupal Content Management System . It's easy to install, and immensely adaptable ![]()
In simple language we can say that Drupal is a content management system that makes use of modules to allow site administrators to organize and display content,customize appearance and manage routine tasks, such as registration for websites requiring user names and passwords.
Within minutes of installing this PHP framework, you can have a feature-rich, database-driven site with no knowledge of programming required. And you can add off-the-shelf contributed modules to add even more features to your site.
Drupal is an open source content management platform licensed under the GPL. Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal can support a variety of websites ranging from personal blogs, corporate brochures and large community-driven websites.
While it is not the purpose of this manual to fully educate you on database, web server or operating systems basics specific to your site, this will hopefully introduce you to getting a Drupal based website installed and configured for your needs. For a more technical sounding definition;
Drupal is a web-based content management system. Text and pointers to other kinds of content are stored in a database, dynamically retrieved and composed, and presented to a user in response to a request sent via a web-browser.
Drupal was originally written by Dries Buytaert, who still heads the Drupal project. Buytaert transliterated the Dutch word 'druppel,' which means 'droplet' to create the name 'Drupal,' in order to make an indirect reference to the community aspects of the project through the Dutch word 'dorp,' meaning 'village.' He opened the source code for community work in 2001.
Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different web sites, including
