Hey guys,
Want to know if anyone has ever done something along these lines.
What resources did you guys use?
Trying to learn anything I can.
Thanks!
First off, why Drupal?
Company I work for chose it over WordPress, the reason I was told was just the overall features it has right now.
More ways to solve certain problems than WordPress.
I’m not familiar with either so I couldn’t really say which I’d rather do.
They also have some sub-sites done in WP.
Are you familiar with PHP?
Not at all, should I start there first?
I think it could only help. But you don’t need to know everything about PHP to understand how WordPress, Kirby (a better CMS, in my opinion) or Drupal works.
Yeah, out of the few sites i’ve read extensive PHP isn’t mandatory just helps make your life easier.
I don’t see many resources on converting existing sites into a cms other than for WordPress.
What it seems like I might basically have to do is create my on theme.
The site I’m converting is built mostly on bootstrap so I was hoping making just make a sub-theme with my sites css/js to override some of that bootstrap stuff.
Just looked into Kirby seems like for my case it’d be the best choice. Maybe I can convince the head-honchos haha?!?
Ha. Let’s hope. Kirby is quite easy to understand compared to WordPress. Especially when it comes to custom post types.
They pretty much set in on Drupal 7. Couldn’t tell you guys why.
Anyone know of any resources that help convert existing templates into a custom theme?
The site is basically built on bootstrap, but has css overrides for unique styling.
