A stupid question about Drupal and Prestashop

[Jack]

Can someone here educate me what is Drupal? What exactly Drupal do? I know Drupal can write blog...I checked out their website, and I still don't understand what is a CMS. And what they exactly do. I saw few posts mentioning about integrating Drupal and Prestashop together. And I really don't understand the purpose behind it. Without Drupal, Prestashop can function very well. What are the benefits for integrating them together? If we need a blog, can we just set up a link in our site that link to a wordpress? This is for real, I am not joking, I really don't understand how Drupal can do to improve my shop..... :down: Thanks.

I feel bad for not knowing this....

CMS stands for Content Management System.
It basically means an interface of some sort to be able to manage (add / edit / delete) your website / blog.

Prestashop has a limited CMS system for products / categories and such.
It does not have a way to edit the content of actual pages, or add / delete pages.

With that said, I have never tried using Drupal, or integrate it with Prestashop.

Drupal is a great CMS, very powerful. Steep learning curve because of that power. But once you get it figured out, it's awesome. However... I just set up two websites with the Drupal module for e-commerce: called Ubercart. Ubercart is just way too cumbersome and confusing to get working correctly.

I just got a demo Prestashop set up in about 1/10th the time it took me to get Ubercart going. I would love a way to combine Drupal with Ubercart. If I get this new client that I'm demo-ing Presta cart for, I might do that myself!
