Wow, the popboard looks great, but too bad that most of their links don't work for me. :(

Well, I finished the site and decided not to launch it. I guess for testing purposes I can put it back up. Let me know if you see anything whatsoever on the site that you want to use that may have been developed by me.

Thanks.

I have not made any modifications to the profile module and I'm not using and profile modules. I believe there is a myspace profile module around here somewhere, don't use it.

I made my own profiles with plain old html and javascript in user_profile.tpl.php and profile_listing.tpl.php. Very easy and quick.

myspace module

Which modules does going on

Which modules does going on using?

lime.com

slantview_old's picture

We have a highly customized version of buddylist and privatemsg going at www.lime.com the privatemsg was basically completely rewritten, and buddylist is a franken-buddylist with the ability to interact with privatemsg (aka limebox in lime speak) and the myspace-like feature of requesting someone to become your buddy instead of having my buddies and buddies of....

we are going to be re-writing it for the impending drupal5 upgrade, so hopefully we can submit some patches to the group for ability to switch back and forth between 2 friend lists (buddies, and buddies of) and one list with pending friend request lists in the official buddylist.module.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I would love to help out where I can.

Great site!

With all the "How to..." questions I've seen about building social networking sites with Drupal, adrenalinehub.com is the proof that it can be done. And done very well, indeed!

What modules are you using?

Hi, thanks for your kind

thomjjames's picture

Hi, thanks for your kind words about the site.

i did a post on drupal.org (here http://drupal.org/node/98134) when i launched the site, it explains abit more about the modules used. hopefully that will help, if not feel free to ask anymore questions.

cheers

Homepage?

What module do you use for your homepage? Or is that custom-coded?

Hi, the homepage is fairly

thomjjames's picture

Hi,

the homepage is fairly custom-coded it just drawing content from the rest of the site.
The "news" and "chatter" tabs are done with a JStools module (http://drupal.org/project/jstools) and a few modification to aid the style.

cheers

Hosting

smeedoo's picture

Nice site. Are you hosting on your own servers or are you using a provider? I imagine with the images on the site, you probably blow through some of the 500M file size alloted by some of the hosting services.

Hi, sorry i only just

thomjjames's picture

Hi,

sorry i only just noticed this.
I have a dedicated server provided by cari.net, they offer good support and all well priced in my view.
I have a bandwidth limit but i'm getting anywhere near it at the moment.

Have a look at http://kolapo.org. I hope to eventually build a virtual appliance or Drupal distro to give people a pre configured social networking website with inter connected groups.

Drupal Sites?

djkim's picture

Hi

I'm new here and wondering if I should use Drupal to build a SN. So for now I'm just looking for examples who use Drupal, like the ones listed here... thanks :-)

What I'm asking myself is if the 5 on this groups page mentioned sites are also based on Drupal:
* Orkut
* Facebook
* MySpace
* LinkedIn
* OpenBC

Or are those only examples for what SN is?

Ecademy is built on Drupal.

Ryze and LinkedIn

jshuster@drupal.org's picture

I'm pretty sure ryze.com is built on Drupal; I could've sworn I've seen the distinctive "?q=" on some of their urls.

I've heard said that linkedin.com is built on Drupal, although they've clearly done a lot of customization. I'd be interested if anyone can confirm this.

thomjjames's picture

Hi,

I just launch a new Drupal social network, obviously using Drupal but it's also about Drupal.
It's called DrupalSN or Drupal Social Network. I won't write too much as i've done a big write up on Drupal.org (http://drupal.org/node/288476) and you can always check out the about page (http://drupalsn.com/about-drupalsn).

writing a load of tutorials that are social networking related for the site and i'm also looking to module some of the custom modules used on the site!

Don't wanna hijack this post so i'll stop here but if you want to check out the site heres the url:
http://drupalsn.com
comments/suggestions are welcome

English Online and Shineweek

leontong.brightlemon's picture

Hi Tounano

Here a couple of large social networking based sites we built for education:

1) English Online
http://www.englishonline.org.cn/en
This is a kind of facebook for learners of English in China - it has almost 130,000 users and received 15 million unique visitors last year.

2) Shineweek
http://shineweek.brightlemon.com and http://www.shineweek.co.uk
These sites are like YouTube/Flickr for schools - signed up over 10% of schools in England and Wales in under 3 months.

I'm looking to get these written up as detailed technical case studies!
