What we use

Drupal (www.drupal.org) is the Content Management System (in short CMS) used in TrueCMS packages. Ubercart (www.ubercart.org) is the shopping cart software that was used to integrate shopping cart solution into TrueCMS packages.

Good to know

To display website content we use different types of content (further “content types”). Example of a content type  could be a [book], a [page], a [product], a [newsletter] etc.

Each content type has it’s own unique properties, used to accomplish certain goals. For example, "product" has "Add to cart" button to enable shopping cart functionality, while "book" pages contain additional field to assign parent page (book chapter). For example - this particular page is the Top Level book page and the book navigation located at the bottom and in the left sidebar.
There are also a number of pages which don’t belong to any content type. An example of such a page – or we would rather say: [listing] - could be the listing of products (or catalog page) or listing of latest posts. Each post in this example is an individual content type post which can be maintained individually.

In fact, listing is a specific representation of content of the same or different types, that comply with certain criteria, displayed on the same page. An example could be products listing – we use few criteria to display this: It has to have [Published] state and has to be of [Product] content type and it has to belong to a [Term] from [Catalogue] category (and in particular to a sub category(ies) such as [Bags],[Clutches] etc.). Some listing show content by different criteria. A good example might be “new in” or “sale” sections.
