In this presentation, I’ll show what Drupal is used for and where it is already being applied:

Drupal is a free CMS with open-source code that allows easy organization, management, and publishing of content with endless customization options.

Dries Buytaert began developing Drupal as a message board in 1999. Within a year, more and more people became interested in using Drupal, so the project was made open source. Drupal.org appeared online in 2001, and the Drupal community gained momentum by 2005 with several conferences.

In this section of our site we will show you how to develop an online store on Drupal Commerce.

To begin, we need to install Drupal version 7 and Denwer. You can learn how to do that by watching this video:

Is it difficult to create websites on Drupal?

After deploying Drupal, you’ll need to translate it into Russian. Watch how to do this here:

The first section of the tutorial is Introduction to Drupal. In this section, we will build a small website using a template design and also get familiar with the basic Drupal settings. Articles 1 through 4 cover how to set up Drupal in Russian on your local computer. The final article in the Introduction to Drupal section discusses installing Drupal on a fully functioning website with a live domain name.

If your site will be located in the .ru zone, you'll most likely need to localize it to Russian. We already have a standard Drupal installation in English. To localize it, we need a .po file that contains the translation of the entire site interface. Go to drupaler.ru and follow the “download” link.

Russian localization for Drupal 7:

We already have Drupal installed on our created platform. Now it’s time to understand what Drupal is and how to work with it.

The themes are configured under Site Building - Themes - List. By default (in Drupal version 6.x), the list includes the following themes: Bluemarine, Chameleon, Garland, Marvin, Minneli, Pushbutton.

You can choose any of these themes or add another one.

In the previous lesson, we installed the Drupal theme Forest Floor, after which the appearance of the site changed, but all the content and menu links remained. This is because the theme controls only the site's appearance. Now let's take a look at what each Drupal theme consists of.

I already wrote in the previous lesson that Drupal consists of two connected parts: CMS and CMF. In this lesson, we will look at how to create simple websites using CMS Drupal.

Let’s start with the common sections a website is divided into:

Header (top section): This is the header of the website, usually containing the logo and site name, contact information, user name, or anything else.
