Client's Goals
SikhNet has been online community for over 25 years. When they sought a new web 2.0 framework for their social networking site, Sikhnet techs selected Technivant to deliver a sleek Drupal-based media publishing and social networking site. They wanted new features like blogging, forum posts, user-contributed content, and support for multimedia formats like YouTube and Google videos.
Technology & Expertise Utilized
In order that the new site would function seamlessly with all of Sikhnet's other applications, Technivant provided the following integrations:
- Menalto Gallery2 / Drupal integration
- Integrate custom Flash news scroller with Drupal Views module
- Drupal / phpBB (forums) integration
- Drupal / WysiwygPro integration
- OpenAds / Drupal integration
- Custom Drupal theme
Bottom Line
Technivant provided a custom information architecture and theming,
utilizing the Drupal Panels module and Technivant's News Publishing
framework. Sikhnet users can now contribute their own content to the
site -- videos, images, news articles, event postings, comments and
discussion topics.
