Hi All,
I am a total newbie to Drupal and CMS's, but I am very much comfortable in PHP programming. I am trying
to build a community site. I need advise on how to go about building such a site.
I want to know, how to use DRUPAL with other CMS's like PHPizabi and Dolphin. I felt, both PHPizabi and Dolphin are very good community site. What modules do I need to use and how can I customize the Drupal configuration with any one of two CMS's? Please let me know, how to integrate the community sites with Drupal. Please suggest your advises.
Thanks for your advise and suggestions/recommendations.
Cheers,
Vishu.

Drupal itself is a
Drupal itself is a standalone CMS. Dolphin has the caveat of using a CMS with limited user expandability (as far as I know) and also you must display their advertisements. Drupal is totally configurable and open source so it does not have any of these limitations.
As far as 'integration' goes -- I really have no idea what you're trying to do, so I can't really say something to the effect of 'do this, do that'. However, I would suggest trying to build your community site from the ground up using Drupal because of the aforementioned flexibility it offers. Sure, it might take some extra theming experience to make it look flashier than out of the box, but I've just started playing with Drupal recently and I've really started appreciating it (was onboard with Joomla/Mambo previously). Since you're comfortable with php, you should be able to pick up Drupal quicker than many newbies also.

Hi Aniq, Thanks for
Hi Aniq,
Thanks for your reply.. We planned to integrate one community module(PHPIzabi) with DRUPAL.. I've tried both drupal and phpizabi separately and both codings are looks very understandable and simple. But, regarding the integration, I am little bit confused.. How to do this? So, I need your suggestion. Any one does this type of integration?
Thanks in Advance
