For -more information, see the Drupal website at http://drupal.org/, and join the -Drupal community at http://drupal.org/community. - -Legal information about Drupal: - * Know your rights when using Drupal: - See LICENSE.txt in the same directory as this document. - * Learn about the Drupal trademark and logo policy: - http://drupal.com/trademark - -CONFIGURATION AND FEATURES --------------------------- - -Drupal core (what you get when you download and extract a drupal-x.y.tar.gz or -drupal-x.y.zip file from http://drupal.org/project/drupal) has what you need to -get started with your website. It includes several modules (extensions that add -functionality) for common website features, such as managing content, user -accounts, image uploading, and search. Core comes with many options that allow -site-specific configuration. In addition to the core modules, there are -thousands of contributed modules (for functionality not included with Drupal -core) available for download. - -More about configuration: - * Install, upgrade, and maintain Drupal: - See INSTALL.txt and UPGRADE.txt in the same directory as this document. - * Learn about how to use Drupal to create your site: - http://drupal.org/documentation - * Download contributed modules to sites/all/modules to extend Drupal's - functionality: - http://drupal.org/project/modules - * See also: "Developing for Drupal" for writing your own modules, below. - -INSTALLATION PROFILES ---------------------- - -Installation profiles define additional steps (such as enabling modules, -defining content types, etc.) that run after the base installation provided -by core when Drupal is first installed. There are two basic installation -profiles provided with Drupal core. - -Installation profiles from the Drupal community modify the installation process -to provide a website for a specific use case, such as a CMS for media -publishers, a web-based project tracking tool, or a full-fledged CRM for -non-profit organizations raising money and accepting donations. They can be -distributed as bare installation profiles or as "distributions". Distributions -include Drupal core, the installation profile, and all other required -extensions, such as contributed and custom modules, themes, and third-party -libraries. Bare installation profiles require you to download Drupal Core and -the required extensions separately; place the downloaded profile in the -/profiles directory before you start the installation process. Note that the -contents of this directory may be overwritten during updates of Drupal core; -it is advised to keep code backups or use a version control system. - -Additionally, modules and themes may be placed inside subdirectories in a -specific installation profile such as profiles/your_site_profile/modules and -profiles/your_site_profile/themes respectively to restrict their usage to only -sites that were installed with that specific profile. - -More about installation profiles and distributions: - * Read about the difference between installation profiles and distributions: - http://drupal.org/node/1089736 - * Download contributed installation profiles and distributions: - http://drupal.org/project/distributions - * Develop your own installation profile or distribution: - http://drupal.org/developing/distributions - -APPEARANCE ----------- - -In Drupal, the appearance of your site is set by the theme (themes are -extensions that set fonts, colors, and layout). Drupal core comes with several -themes. More themes are available for download, and you can also create your own -custom theme. - -More about themes: - * Download contributed themes to sites/all/themes to modify Drupal's - appearance: - http://drupal.org/project/themes - * Develop your own theme: - http://drupal.org/documentation/theme - -DEVELOPING FOR DRUPAL ---------------------- - -Drupal contains an extensive API that allows you to add to and modify the -functionality of your site. The API consists of "hooks", which allow modules to -react to system events and customize Drupal's behavior, and functions that -standardize common operations such as database queries and form generation. The -flexible hook architecture means that you should never need to directly modify -the files that come with Drupal core to achieve the functionality you want; -instead, functionality modifications take the form of modules. - -When you need new functionality for your Drupal site, search for existing -contributed modules. If you find a module that matches except for a bug or an -additional needed feature, change the module and contribute your improvements -back to the project in the form of a "patch". Create new custom modules only -when nothing existing comes close to what you need. - -More about developing: - * Search for existing contributed modules: - http://drupal.org/project/modules - * Contribute a patch: - http://drupal.org/patch/submit - * Develop your own module: - http://drupal.org/developing/modules - * Follow best practices: - http://drupal.org/best-practices - * Refer to the API documentation: - http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/7 +[Drupal CiviCRM on AWS setup guide](https://github.com/theodotos/drupal-civicrm/wiki)
