In May 2017 we are hosting the European Drupal Business Days in Frankfurt and we are looking forward to high-end Drupal 8 case studies dealing with media websites and advertising.

We're happy to announce that Burda Media is going to share insights how they use Drupal and how other media companies can profit from it.

This is the first European Drupal Business Days since Drupal 8 came out, and we can’t wait to see the newest business cases and trends.

For more details go to www.drupalbusiness.org or directly to www.drupalbusiness.org/call-for-speakers to propose a session.

I am currently given consultancy to a newspaper and there is only one thing that we cannot find a solution that fits the clients needs.

The management of the front page.

This are the requirements:

1) Drag & Drop interface
2) Can attach to the frontpage any type of content defined.
3) User can define new regions to relate content in the front page.
4) User can override a taxonomy term page with the front page
5) Can override the image, title, link and short text associated with the related content in the cover without leaving the front page manager.

What is best option for selling access to content based on this input:

1. User can buy one node
2. User can buy edition (taxonomy term - several articles are associated with this term, free and paid)

Have someone example for Drupal based site?

for now i have made small research and see that mostly people use
time based subscription by selling roles (Ubercart)

Additional it exist several other examples but nothing concrete.

I will appreciate every Drupal example with supscription, also i am interested in Userpoints integration.

tnx

Hi all,

Good day. Just wanted to pop my head in and let everyone know about the new newspaper cms we've been developing. I did a Drupal showcase write up on it a couple of months ago but that seems to have faded away into obscurity.

And then I thought it might be an interesting point for discussion here on this group.

Hi,
I would like to know what modules are used in The Economist Drupal 6 websites: http://www.economist.com
Also I would like to understand how are managed the Channels and Blogs Structures.
And also How are managed the subscribed content?

I think we could learn a lot from The Economist website. It is a great project.

Can you help me?

I'd welcome your thoughts on the positives and negatives of both systems that extend drupal for publishers.

My situation is that I've installed the France 24 AEF modules on my development non-production site but don't know how to use them, make them visible.

I'm considering OpenPublishApp also (instead, i.e not co-existing with France24) but haven't tried it yet.

My initial thoughts are:

France24:
Positives:
- proof of concept with France24: high-traffic news site
- substantial suite of modules designed with journalists in mind to add content easily with minimum training

Hi,
We need to export content from one of our website at Le Figaro to different format. I found some useful modules (but no tested).

• http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi
• http://drupal.org/project/googlenews
• http://drupal.org/project/xmlsitemap
• http://drupal.org/project/nitf_views

Do you know about them ?

I can't find any module in Drupal about NewsML : http://www.iptc.org/std/NAR/1.5/documentation/IPTC-G2-Implementation-Gui...

I have seen that some projects are running but no one seems to be finished.

Hi Techies, Drupul Geeks ... and Newspaper Content Managers--

I'm looking for some advice on how to create a couple of blocks similar to the Homepage Articles Block.

What I'd like to do is group all articles in two main types, say, X and Y.

Then I would like to create subtypes of X and Y, say, A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

I have no problem with creating the subtypes in taxonomy, but I'm not sure how to create the two main types and have them show up like the Articles Homepage Block.

Hello all,

I am trying to create a high school newspaper website using Drupal, and the front page design is quite complicated. I am trying to create block-like regions of node teasers (similar to the New York Times) in a 2-column layout in the content column. I can't figure out how to do it. I have seen questions about how to put a block of the most recent posts in a certain category, but I want to put headline node teasers on the front page with different regions based on the taxonomy term. I also need to be able to have staff reporters to easily upload their articles so that these front-page stories can be promoted to the front page. Any ideas? I have attached a very basic design of the front page (without any CCK fields or anything like that). I hope that it helps.
