Chapter 21 ■ Building a Community Site • Social sharing: The capability to share content on the site with other social media sites • Trusted contacts and private messaging: The capability to connect with other users on the site and message each other • Multilingual: The capability to support multilingual content on a community site Since Drupal Commons is built on Drupal core, you also can install and enable virtually any other Drupal contributed module on the site. Summary Building a community-focused site in Drupal is relatively easy using the Drupal Commons distribution as the starting point for the site. The hardest part of building the site is defining the logistics around who can create a group, who can manage a group, and who can post content. The physical activities of building the site is easy using Drupal Commons. In the next chapter we’ll look at how to build a commerce-based website using an off-the-shelf Drupal distribution, Drupal Commerce. 240
Chapter 22 Building a Commerce Site In a relatively short 20 years, the concept of selling goods and services on the Internet has gone from a novelty to the mainstay of business. If you are a business and don’t provide an online channel to sell to your target customers, you are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to increase revenue, market share, and profitability. Drupal Commerce provides a robust and full-featured solution for building online storefronts, and in this chapter I’ll walk you through the process of creating a commerce site. To demonstrate the ease of building a commerce site on Drupal, I’ll create a site that is focused on selling Drupal T-shirts, coffee cups, and hats. The concepts can be expanded on to sell any physical or virtual goods, so you are welcome to either follow along and build the Drupal commerce site or use the example presented as a guide to create your own commerce site. Identifying Requirements for a Commerce Site As you’ve read several times in this book, the place to start with any website is to identify the requirements for the site. Requirements for the example commerce site presented in this chapter are common to many commerce sites and include 1. The capability to display products for sale on the site. 2. The capability to sell products that have specific attributes such as size. 3. The capability for shoppers to put items into a shopping cart and manage that shopping cart. 4. The capability for shoppers to check out and pay, including providing a credit card and selecting a shipping method. 5. The capability for shoppers to visit the site and examine previous orders. With requirements in hand, we can then identify how we’re going to meet those requirements with Drupal. Using Drupal Commerce Kickstart as the distribution to build the storefront upon. Commerce Kickstart provides a preconfigured solution that meets many of the requirements right out of the box, including: • Product templates for creating and displaying products on the site, including products that have attributes such as size • A shopping cart the provides the capabilities for visitors to put items into a cart and manage those products through the shopping experience, including the checkout process with various payment methods and selecting the method to ship the products (physical goods) • Customer interface for reviewing previous orders 241
