Advantages and disadvantages

Mobile Interface to Content Management System based on HTML5 and Drupal: A Case Study (T.K.Hema Priya, 2011)

​

“It is particularly well suited to e-Learning systems, Community/social networking sites, and news publishing, where its powerful authoring and publishing features allow administrators to create, revise, and deploy content in a rapid and organized manner. User management, site reporting and statistics, ad management, community management, and other administrative functions utilize an intuitive and robust back-end user interface.”

Realization of Electronic Textbook By Means Of

Drupal Content Management System (I.Iliev, 2013)

​

“CMS Drupal has enough power and flexibility, allowing us to create a topic that is complex enough. The system offers countless ways to deal with problems that arise, but one needs to know how to work with Drupal themes so to choose the proper way.”

Conclusion

36 of 40

On model usage

​

“Moreover, the model can have more than one purpose. Initiative leaders, developers and community of the both open source content management systems can use the model in order to analyze and explore for both strengths and disadvantages. Later, they can work on improving the flaws, or looking to increase the advantages even more.”
