Having had a bash at Joomla I thought I’d have a go at Drupal this afternoon.
I found it much more akin to Joomla than Wordpress in the way it’s set up, although generally clearer and somewhat easier to understand. I was quickly able to create a couple of text-only pages and set up a menu. So far so good.
Also, valid code, perhaps a few less divs than Joomla.
Then I tried to add an image. Eventually realised I needed to add some more modules to do that. Fair enough I suppose, but it seems odd that the “base” installation comes with a translator, which I can’t imagine many people use, but no facility for adding images.
I was then able to easily create an image gallery. Good. But I still couldn’t, and at the time of writing this, after about 2 hours of messing about, I still can’t add an image to an ordinary page…
I therefore wouldn’t hold out much hope for my non-technical user.
Judging from the number of Google results, I’m not the only one who has had this problem – but even these didn’t help.
One day later…I have now added the supposedly missing modules, which I can see, but which still do not offer me any option to insert and image into a page.
