Few weeks ago, while i\u00a0was surfing on the internet, i came across many\u00a0forums filled with tons\u00a0of website developers -including myself- in searching for more information on how to\u00a0manage an advanced website\u00a0easily without\u00a0requiring any\u00a0program\u00a0or publish features. During that time, many developers answered to my questions regarding the best content management system that they are using – Namely Drupal – which is probably one of the biggest projects on the internet right now, offering tons and tons of updates, features etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

<\/h1>\n

WHAT IS DRUPAL?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drupal is a content management system software supported by hundreds of thousands of users and professional website developers, in order to obtain what everyone is searching for – A perfect content management system platform. Considering the information they rely on their official website, the drupal project\u00a0is roughly 13 years old, diversifying more and more updates, modules, themes, CSS file creations, PHP, HTML, Java, administration panels (more advanced), beautiful website structure (links, buttons, content, pages, panels) and more, basically speaking, everything we need is on their website, web space and the initial software.<\/p>\n

Using Drupal has proven very useful\u00a0when creating massive dynamic forums, websites (requiring updates every day) and manage everything in your website with just few clicks, rearranging content, menus, plugins (modules) with the drag feature or creating custom panel layouts. The only thing that the majority of users have trouble with is the Proper Design which is currently missing. That doesn’t mean there is no way to edit the background colors, panel size, etc. ; all you have to do is either choose a theme based on a Color module that drupal is currently offering on their website, or you could just go into the theme folder, open the CSS file for style and search for the codes that you want to change.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHAT FEATURES DOES DRUPAL OFFER?<\/h1>\n

Other than massive updates for the initial content management platform that they are offering, they also allow you to fully customize your website like you desire.<\/p>\n

Things required to start Drupal yourself, or understand what the screenshots i will post below mean, are the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Drupal content management system platform – Which you can download it HERE<\/a> ;<\/li>\n
  2. A FTP account created in your host account;<\/li>\n
  3. A domain;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After you have installed Drupal\u00a0 (if you don’t know how to isntall drupal they are offering help sections on their site – with this\u00a0proving their project efficiency -) do the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Check your newly created drupal management panel<\/li>\n
    2. Install new themes from HERE<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To install a new theme you have to download the theme from their site, unzip it, and place it in your\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – Default FTP :\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 websitename\/html\/drupaltest\/themes<\/li>\n
    3. Install new modules from HERE<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To install a\u00a0module you have to download it from their sites, unzip it,\u00a0and\u00a0place it in your\u00a0 – Default FTP :\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 websitename\/html\/drupaltest\/modules<\/li>\n
    4. For Designing\u00a0 go to (Default FTP :\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 websitename\/html\/drupaltest\/themes\/themename\/style.css)\u00a0 This was just an example, you will have to search for the folder you have setup it yourself.<\/li>\n
    5. Check the other features- Blocks, Menus, Content, Pages, Panels, Permissions, Configuration etc<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
