Building Engaging Communities with Gamification, Commerce, and Integrations: A Success Story.

Building Engaging Communities with Gamification, Commerce, and Integrations: A Success Story.

Sven Van Uytfanghe

In this talk at DrupalCon, we will share how our company, Dropsolid, successfully integrated gamification, Drupal commerce, and Microsoft Dynamics integration to create a language-based community with a robust role system. We will also discuss the challenges we faced during this process and the solutions we found to overcome them.

We will showcase the diversity of Drupal and the out-of-the-box capabilities, even beyond the restrictions that 'markets' can offer (i.e. language communities combined with shops based on markets: language/region).

Topics will include:
- Gamification
- API integrations (MS Dynamics, custom endpoints, ...)
- Drupal commerce and complex market-setup
- Community, i.e. a Facebook-like environment for users based on language (connected to both Gamification and Drupal commerce)
- Community, i.e. create content (with a content wizard especially made for basic users)
- Community, i.e. dashboards with tiles that lead to actions (incentives to earn currency for the gamification element)
- The creation of a user interface for web admins to create events and their currency in a visual way for gamification
- Partner portal: a portal for professional partners where they can manage their clients

Whether you're a business owner, marketer, analyst or developer, you'll gain valuable insights into how to combine different technologies to create engaging and functional online communities.
