AcquiaTV

In this Webinar, Larry Garfield, Matt Butcher and Ken Rickard from Palantir.net join Acquia to explore some of the ways that they’ve integrated large amounts of third-party data into Drupal, leveraging the platform’s tremendous flexibility and bringing additional value and opportunities to higher education, publishing, and museum clients. If you've got a basic understanding of Drupal concepts and terminology and want to learn how to take the system to the next level.

Topics explored include:

• Strategies for importing content from legacy systems.
• Using SOAP to authenticate users managed outside of Drupal’s user system.
• Using Views and other Drupal modules to customize the display of third-party data and make it fit seamlessly within your site’s design.
• Enabling Drupal to co-exist with other content management platforms without the user ever noticing.
• When to work with Drupal’s node system and when to abandon it completely.
• Why organizations are adopting Acquia support to ensure optimal performance of their Drupal site.
