I am a little confused and have been lead around to several sites and several types of content. I am hoping someoen will be able to shed some light on a few sites. these sites: http://www.splendora.com/ http://www.theonion.com http://www.mtv.co.uk/ http://www.deadsexy.org/ are listed as being Drupal based CMS, but they also look like their using Vanilla. these sites: http://www.ncgolfers.com/ http://suicidegirls.com/ Look like Vanilla with Drupal. Drupal is a CMS from what I understand, and Vanilla is? a Forum? what I am looking to do is have a site that looks and feels like: http://www.splendora.com/ http://www.mtv.co.uk/ http://suicidegirls.com/ http://www.ncgolfers.com/ Community style site with the ability to have modules in the front page which are more picture based, eye candy. Like a magazine. I have been researching this for ....a year now? been playing with Joomla, but it doesn't really give me what I want. any ideas, suggestions or can you tell me what these sites really are? thanks.

    Hello, these sites are not in fact using Vanilla, but the Forum module for Drupal. The Drupal Forum has a style quite similar to Vanilla, but with very limited functionality.

    I have written an integration guide for Vanilla and Drupal so that they can share a user-base and sessions.

    Check http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php?id=vanilla:integration:drupal for more info.

    http://www.ncgolfers.com/ says he is using vanilla, but not drupal. what do you think? and thanks, I saw your post about the integration.....may have to check that out.

    He just uses Vanilla embedded, and some links pointing to the Vanilla install from the Drupal theme... there is no integration between the two as far as I can tell, looks well done, though =), though I think he should try using friendly URLs

    Ok, I own and am the the Developer of NC Golfers... I can first hand vouch that i am not using Drupal, infact i'm not using a CMS at all. I have Vanilla installed and I use Vanilla for Authentication and the forum. I currently do not have a link back to vanilla, I'm actually gonna put up a cool logo at the bottom of the footer that says powered by Vanilla.

    I also use vanilla's Session object for different custom made programs i have made, such as the Handicap Tracker.

    Darkman... U may be interested in this add-on, I'm going to add it to my site soon here
