Drupal 7 - First thoughts

Drupal 7 looks really good, it has everything ready to build a real site. Think we can do the likes of ACT, Vehcam or Wind in the Willows in it as everything for a basic site is in place. I'll start building a tutorial for it soon.

There are a couple of things I can't get to work (yet):

  1. IMCE not working with WYSIWYG and TinyMCE so there may be a problem with bridge
  2. Can't get the spellchecker working on TinyMCE

There are also a few modules not working in D7 which I really want to use like the publish to Twitter and Similar by terms modules.

I'm still looking at:

  • eCommerce
  • Multilingual
  • Forums
  • A better search
Just as an aside, the Commerce module looks very good. If it does what it says it can do it should be the better option than Ubercart because it will support multi-currency and all the jQuery/Ajax bits that make using a shop easy. Lets hope...
