I’m migrating a website from Drupal and I think I will be using this plugin to handle the migration: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/fg-drupal-to-wordpress/])
It’s compatible with Toolset, ACF and Pods, neither of which I have used before (I have used Crocoblock’s JetEngine and understand the concept of post types coming from a Drupal background but sadly it’s not supported by the migration plugin).
The site needs to have the following:
1. News articles with embedded video, tweets, image galleries, related posts
2. Upcoming with faceted search and option to add sponsors to the event (logo plus name) (with **paid for** user submitted events)
3. Jobs board with faceted search (with **paid for** user submitted jobs)
4. Company profiles with sections like “meet the team” (repeater with name, position and photo repeated?), media showreel (video), image gallery, related news jobs and events
**I’m not a PHP developer so I’m looking for a “site builder” approach.**
The key here is that it’s not a complex site – all 4 post types can be created using Toolset and ACF but what we really need is the ability for end users to submit their own events and jobs and **pay to do so each time**. The form they fill in has to look good and ideally be a front end form.
I can see that Toolset has the pay-to-publish feature and also has advanced user permissions, maps integration etc which are also ideal. However, I don’t believe Toolset is as popular as ACF but ACF requires PHP for front end forms and does not have pay-to-publish.
Given the above you’d think that Toolset would be a no-brainer BUT before I get my hands dirty and start the build I’m looking to see if there are ANY alternatives out there which are better supported or have more of a future moving forward.
