From YII to Drupal 10: A Smooth Website Migration Journey

Temple University’s Department of Mathematics, committed to advancing research and delivering high-quality education, offers diverse undergraduate programs in pure and applied mathematics, alongside combined degrees with computer science, economics, and education. Emphasising problem-solving and critical thinking, the department prepares students for careers in academia and industry.

Migrating Temple University’s website from YII to Drupal 10 posed significant challenges, including transitioning between distinct platforms and ensuring no data loss for critical content like course syllabi and event details. Revamping course management and event handling systems, addressing technical compatibility issues, and implementing new workflows required meticulous planning to enhance user experience and accessibility.

Dotsquares executed a seamless migration from YII to Drupal 10, rebuilding the website to enhance content management and user experience. We developed an updated course management system for easy syllabi access, optimised user roles for students, staff, and administrators, and improved the event management system for streamlined creation and display. The solution ensured role-based access and compatibility, delivering a modern, user-friendly platform.

The Drupal 10 platform transformed Temple University’s Mathematics Department website, delivering a user-friendly interface with enhanced course management and event handling. Optimised user roles improved content control for staff and accessibility for students. The modern design and efficient functionality streamlined operations, boosting overall user experience and academic support.
