What's 4.7 compatible right now?
Hi,
I'm starting a CivicSpace-type installation, too, and will be making extensive graphic changes and don't want to have to learn the 4.6 template engine then the new 4.7 template engine.
Would it be possible to get a list of modules that are 4.7 compatible that will get me as far as possible toward a CivicSpace distro? I don't mind putting in the extra install time since I need to learn the system well anyway.
Thanks,
-Andre

Does Civicspace use the current release of Drupal?
Drupal has moved on to 4.7.1. I am just about to do a first time installation, and would like to use Civicspace but also want to be using the most recent Drupal.
Does Civicspace use the current release of Drupal?
Well you can get one or the other, not both.
Currently CivicSpace is based on 4.6.7. Progress is being made on the move to the 4.7 branch, but there are still quite a few modules that CS includes that need to be upgraded to work with 4.7.
Drupal Compare
Hey,
I just found out about CivicSpace and have been tryign to find out more. Can anyone update this table to compare it to version 4.6? Also, can someone explain whether CivicSpace is the same as just having a drupal installation with the same modules listed here? Any differences in the code?
Thanks,
Ryan
Ditto to Ryan's comment above
Ryan has posted an excellent question, the answer to which would be very useful to me as well.
What is the difference between Drupal and CivicSpace - can I install Civicspace and HAVE all of the Drupal core, or do I need to install Drupal as well - or can/should I install Drupal, and then whichever Civicspace modules I need / want?
Grant
CiviCRM and drupal
You're right it is an excellent question.
The easiest answer is the Civicspace labs installer. You don't need to be a SQL guru, and a network administrator who understands what root means at the same time.
Next is the functionality of the civicrm module. For community based organizations, it is very hard to beat. I suppose for all of the features, you need to visit the links above.

Ok, I'm not being dense ;-)
So others had the same question. Is there an installation guide somewhere on this site? It should be prominently displayed for first time users! Just a simple list of instructions as Drupal has on its site (or any other software).
What I get from your answer Jeff, is that there is an "installer" as with commercial software for pc/mac?
I want to use it for several projects actually!It is exactly what I need :-)
Thank you,
Moti
PS: even an SQL guru or an Admin guy would need some instructions...
Ok, I'm not being dense ;-)
In the top left corner of this site there's a button for "Get Civicspace" you can find all the installation documentation there. Also in the download package there's a file called INSTALL.txt with all the goods. If you need further info you can post your questions to the community forum.
I am being dense
I read through some of the links but I still do not see a clear answer to the question.
1. If you install Civicspace do you get all of drupal?
2. If not, can you just choose to install some of the CivicSpace modules into drupal installation?
I am being dense
Civicspace is a distribution of Drupal, that is it is Drupal core plus many contributed modules and themes including CiviCRM plus a web-based installer and configurator. It includes all of drupal core.
You could achieve the same end by installing drupal core manually, and all the modules and themes manually, and doing the initial configuration manually, but that would probably add ~20 hours of your time.
Maybe I'm Dense Too?
I have been frustrated by drupal 4.6 in the past and so I am finally running drupal 4.7.3.
My requirements are an easy way for members to create a page. To that end I believe they need to have a "point and click editor" (such as FCKeditor or tinymce, the latter is the only one available for drupal 4.7 currently). Plus they need to be able to either upload an image into a new page
orupload a gallery and put links to the images into new pages.The book page feature of drupal 4.7 is phenomenal! Its exactly what my employer needs.
However, try as I might I cannot get any combo of image modules to work with tinymce.
My other requirement is for blogging...not joomla's definition of blogging but instead wordpress style blogging. Drupal should be tops at that. Probably civicspace is too.
The whole point is collaboration.
Anyway, the comparison of features shows that images, for example, are left out of bryght, etc etc. How can that be? So is tinymce and FCKeditor. Does this mean their users get almost no markup capability?
Does anybody put together a bunch of standard modules for each release of drupal (or civicspace) so one can install all the working modules in one fell swoop and then turn on/off the ones one wants? My stumbling block is having to get into the editing of modules/xxxx/plugins/xxxx/jscripts/xxxxx_whatever, ad nauseum, and running sql commands on buggy modules and having to re-write PHP code just to get a contribution to work.
This leads me to believe projects like civicspace are SORELY NEEDED in the land of drupal.
Drupal is great for a developer and is terrible if you have a project to do for an organization that has no developers. Civicspace sounds like the answer. BUT, does it have the features I mentioned, and does it run on apache 1.3.7 and apache 2, mysql 3.X and mysql 4.x, and php 4.3 and php5? Xampp? What combination?
I dont know which way to go. Thanks for advice. (PS, IBM announcing drupal as their supported platform is a good sign. It may possibily imply a lot of support coming in the near future.
