We will post more analysis of the survey results in the future. We hope our suvey helps people determine whether Joomla or Drupal is best suited for their project.

However where joomla fails can be summed up in one statement “a full service complete solution”, aka thats not how its being piped out and anayway would not the API be better positioned in the rack space market?

for my two cents worth, lol

keep up the feeds.

Current comparisons of Drupal and Joomla are based on individual opinions. I would like to see a more methodical approach.

So, I’ve put together a survey to gather opinions from wide selection of Drupal and Joomla users. It is available at: http://www.webologysolutions.com/ebusiness-blog/joomla-vs-drupal-survey.html

I’m hoping to get several hundred responses. So please take the survey and let other people know about it too. Anyone interested in learning the results can indicate their interest on the survey itself.

As a programmer I needed something that would give me a basic (but solid) user management system (user accounts,login ..etc) without it be bloated, from there I needed the ability to control every aspect of a website. The hooking system of drupal gave me that. I’m sure a joomla programmer will say the same thing about joomla.

I must admit, anyone without programing knowledge will have trouble with drupal and I would probably recommend joomla in those cases.

But as an example of what drupal 6.x is capable of, I’ve been working on a facebook clone using drupal 6.x. The demo site can be tested here: http://statusbook.netriftsolutions.com … login is demo/demo —> note it’s not done and probably won’t be for a while.

IMPORTANT: it’s free to download but do not use this for production sites! this is purely for show and I’m pretty sure there are copy right issues. If you want to use it, then use a different theme! There’s no time line for this project as I’m not being paid.

I do plan on using some of these features for an up and coming social network site.

cheers

Having been out of the ecosystem for a bit… i need to get caught up on latest joomla extensions.

I have been encouraging my friends to try a variety of CMS before choosing one… sure this may take a few weeks, but if u find that one CMS has all the features u need to complete a specific project go with that.

It will save u so much time on trying to develop a new mod or hack to your “favorite” CMS

For me the Joomla Community is what supports my current position.

I use Drigg module in my vbdrupal environment which is linked to vbulletin

and then I use Pligg as a standalone

unfortunately I had to disable the registrations on Pligg due to it being a total spam magnet and that has swung things towards Drigg which can use the login system of Drupal

My 2 cents

and then when you throw in the bridge available for WordPress to vBulletin then you get a structure that is awesome

Drupal will grow and grown due to the nature of attaching modules to the system

Not tried Joomla much and I don’t think I will be due to my high satisfaction of what I work with
