That's the problem with most frameworks. The Auth looks nice but is a pain to implement just right...Profiles are painful enough in Django. I've noticed that in the end you usually have to rewrite the core components, so it's better to choose software that anticipates this. Django is great for run-of-the-mill sites, just like Rails -- I love generic views. I'm more likely to use Drupal for that class of website though.
- jacquesm 17y agoDrupal is a total pain to upgrade though. That is, if you can do it. Plenty of times you find that going from one major release to the next you might as well rewrite the whole thing.
- erlanger 17y agoBut what do you actually rewrite? Module upgrades, if done properly, are straightforward, and the phptemplate API is stable (themes).
- jacquesm 17y agoIf your modules are going to be ported to the new version you're in luck. Upgrades are usually only supported for 'core', major revision upgrades of modules more often than not simply fail to convert the data to whatever backwards incompatible format they've come up with this time around. On the whole drupal feels extremely immature, in spite of having gone through 6 major releases.
