Project Challenges Text Gardens vs Drupal 7 Drupal Text Modules Server

Server Crashing The site server (localhost) crashed multiple times Downloaded modules Incomplete module developments Several modules did not function properly and made the website crash

Modules Several chosen modules were not supported on Drupal 7 Calendar or Quizlet modules Although developed for the Drupal 7x, did not work Pre-requisite modules needed for others to function properly

Gardens vs Drupal 7 It was tricky for us to choose between Drupal Gardens and actually installing Drupal Drupal Gardens has major limitations as a non- paying member Drupal Install only allowed one team member to build the site

Lessons Learned For all modules to function properly, make sure pre-requisite modules are downloaded Look up common Drupal version errors vs. Operating system Watch available YouTube videos about desired modules

Future Recommendations Drupal Gardens is probably best for group projects Download a module into Drupal in class for troubleshooting help YOUTUBE… videos help clarify how to install and set up tricky modules

Division Of Labor Both Tetyana Angela Collaborated on ideas for site modules and site look Built and tested the site on her PC Created the presentation, Researched unique modules
