15 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION When programmer wants to build a website, he should go and learn one of the most popular website programming languages such as PHP, ASP.net, JavaScript, etc. All these languages require a skilled a tremendous effort to be able to design and create a powerful website (Dakhwe, 2006). However, these languages require some particular server platforms to be able to implement them easily and with flexibility. These procedures spend time, money and effort to achieve the particular requirements. Nowadays, several collections of open source software allow any developer or programmer to work with them much more easily than writing program code. Content Management System (CMS) is the solution of spending less time, money, and effort. It is defined as a software system that allows any developer to organize, develop, design, manage, publish, and collaborate tools with little knowledge of web programming languages (Esparza, 2011). Moreover, Content Management System deals with the relational database that makes the connection between the system and the database very flexible and easy. There are several advantages that support using CMS in these days widely. Many CMSs are free open source software that can find online with a lot of kinds of modules, themes, and other web applications. CMSs have very high levels of security (Jain, 2010).
16 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 2 Currently, there are several types of Content Management Systems (CMS), but the most popular CMSs are WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. These are widely used CMSs in these days, and they are free open source software written in PHP that use MySQL as the database (Jain, 2010). The aim of this thesis is to build a proposed event management system in Iraq by using Drupal Content Management System, which organizes the scientific and educational events in Iraq according to the category: type of event, province, major, and date. A registration form is used to present a way to connect the events held in the Iraqi public universities with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq. The Ministry will be the administrator of the system through organizing and managing the events with the universities, as well as updating the system. Moreover, the Ministry will be able to evaluate the quality of the research projects and other events each year with the universities. This step provides the ability to improve and develop the academic and educational levels in the Iraqi universities. This system provides some important information to the Iraqi public universities, and allows the users to be able to determine the locations of events by using Google map service. 1.1 Statement of the Problem. The Iraqi researchers and the students who are interested in participating and attending the scientific and educational events, such as conferences, workshops, and seminars have faced a difficult issue when they try to find these events. It is not easy to find these events according to their specific majors, their regions, and the appropriate time.
17 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 3 When they want to find these events, they have to visit each university s website and try to enter one date at a time to find these events. Some of the universities are late in putting their calendars of events on their websites. That makes the searching of events impossible. On the other hand, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq does not have a database or a system to organize and manage the scientific and educational events that are collected from all Iraqi universities. Moreover, the Ministry needs to store these events that are held each year to be able to evaluate and improve the research activities and the events for following years. 1.2 Purpose of the Study. This thesis presents a solution for the Iraqi researchers and the students as well as the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq through designing and implementing a proposed event management system using Drupal Content Management System. This system allows any researcher and student to find all of the scientific and educational events that will be held in the Iraqi public universities each the year. Through this system, the researchers and the students will be able to find some basic information about the universities and determine the locations of them as well. They can select their specific events according to the type of event, province, major, and date. In addition, they can fill out a registration form with particular fields to determine if they want to participate or attend the events. Moreover, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq will be able to store all of the events and update them each year, and it can manage and coordinate these events with the Iraqi public universities. The Ministry will be able to evaluate and improve the level of the research and the events through this system.
18 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal Review of Literature. Nowadays, Content Management Systems (CMS), especially the Drupal system, have become an active research topic in the web development field. These researches have presented Drupal system according to different ideas of the topics and contents. Some researchers have explained the concepts of the Drupal System. They have introduced the definitions of each parts of the Drupal system. For example, in Cheng, and Wang (2012), The web development based on the Drupal system is presented. Other researchers have focused on explaining the differences between the three most popular content management systems: Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress. Patel, Rathod, and Parikh (2011) have explained the performance of Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress according to their features. They have tried to analyze these three content management systems as to the same condition. The work in Patel, Rathod, and Parikh (2011) presents Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress a statistical comparison of open source CMS. In addition, there is a new work presented by Ghorecha, and Bhatt (2013), A Guide for Selecting a Content Management System for Web Application Development. This work explains the features of Content Management System through making a comparison and evaluation between them. They have used a survey to demonstrate the useful points of using these systems. Moreover, how the developer can choose one of them according to a particular work. Based on the research of the Drupal concepts, the performance of the Content Management Systems and the comparison between them according to their features, Drupal is the most appropriate CMSs for our proposed system. Therefore, for my purpose, Drupal would be the best to implement because it has a high level of security for the system, easy for customizing the features according to the proposed system requirements and it can be easily administered.
19 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal Overview of the Thesis. This thesis has organized as six chapters: Chapter 1 presents an introduction about the Content Management System (CMS), statement of the problem, the purpose of the study, and the review of literature. Chapter 2 explains a brief background about the Drupal Content Management System and the reasons for choosing the Drupal system. Chapter 3 describes the process of thesis methodology. Chapter 4 describes the steps of the implementation of the event management system. Chapter 5 explains the experimental results of the event management system. Chapter 6 presents the conclusion of this thesis and the future work topics.
20 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 6 CHAPTER 2 BACKGROUND Drupal is one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) these days. It is an open source Content Management System, and it is free. Drupal system is used for several kinds of purpose of contents, and it presents a service for the people and the companies to publish, organize, and manage their work without higher knowledge of the programming (Douglass, Little, & Smith, 2006). Moreover, the concept of Drupal is a deeper concept than simply software. Drupal is a content management system that has great features that allow for each developer or programmer to use it with less time, money, and effort (Byron, & Berry, 2012). 2.1 The History of the Drupal. The history of the Drupal system has been wide discussed, and interested parties can find many online documents about it. Therefore, we will write about the history of Drupal with a brief description. Briefly, in 2000, two students at University of Antwerp, Dries Buytaert and Hans Snijder, who were working together on a wireless bridge that would allow to make a connection between eight students to share Hans s modem. Dries Buytaert was working to create a small news website that allows other students to participate with each other (Mercer, 2010). After Dries Buytaert graduated from the university, the idea of this website had improved until Dries Buytaert decided to publish his Drupal software in 2001(Robertson, 2013). Furthermore, Drupal has been a new technology of web development
21 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal The Reasons for Choosing Drupal. There are several reasons that make the developer choose Drupal system: - Drupal can operate with ease or complex websites with a variety of contents. - It works with a variety of operating system such as Windows, Linux, and Mac (Quadri, 2011). - Drupal has a big community that provides some important services such as the security and testing documentation for the system, as well as support for different kinds of languages (Patel, Rathod, & Parikh, 2011) - It has a huge number of themes and modules that allow any developer to feel very comfortable choosing an appropriate theme or module. According to the official website of Drupal: there are more than 26,359 modules and 1,978 themes at the time this thesis is written. - The ability of updating the content with Drupal system is very flexible, easy, and reliable. These reasons that we have mentioned above are the most important reasons for choosing Drupal for the proposed event management system. Figure 2.1: Drupal logo
22 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal The Drupal System Requirements. Drupal content management system contains four parts: language, database, webserver, and operating system (Quadri, 2011) as shown in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2: Drupal system requirements
23 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 9 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY In this chapter, we present the process of the methodology of the Event Management System. We will also explain the steps of each phase of the process. Determine and Collect the Drupal Content Management System Information Download and Install WampServer Download and Install the Drupal Software Choose, Download and Install the Drupal Theme Choose, Download and Install the Drupal Modules Design and Implementation the Event Management System Figure 3.1: Event Management System methodology process
24 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal Determine and Collect the Drupal Content Management System Information. In this phase, we determine the required information that the user will need and use through this proposed event management system. This information include three important pieces: First: some information about the Iraqi public universities that allow for any user to get some important details for each university. These details consist of the established date, the type of the university, the current president of the university, the province of the university, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) website, and the number of the colleges. Furthermore, we use Google Map Field module to determine the locations of each university that is going to hold the scientific and educational events. This required information is collected from the official website of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq: and from the official websites of the Iraqi public universities. Second: the list of the scientific and educational events in the Iraqi public universities. In this part, we try to search these events from several websites to find them until we can collect all of the events for this year from two places: 1. The official website of the Research and Development Department in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq: 2. The official websites of the Iraqi public universities (see Appendix: list of Iraqi public universities). After collecting these events, we organize them according to the following category: type, province, major, and date. Through this category system, the researchers and the students will be able to select these events according to the user selection. Consequently, the categories are organized as follows:
25 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal The Types of the Events The Provinces of the Events. Type Conference Seminar Workshop Table 3.1: The types of the events Province Al Anbar Arbil Babil Baghdad Basra Dhi Qar Diyala Douhuk Karbala Kirkuk Maysan Muthanna Najaf Nineveh Al-Qadisiyyah Saladin Sylaymaniyah Wasit Table 3.2: The provinces of the events
26 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal The Majors of the Events.

27 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal The Dates of the Events. Date January,2014 February,2014 March,2014 April,2014 May,2014 June,2014 July,2014 August,2014 September,2014 October,2014 November,2014 December,2014 Table 3.4: The dates of the events Third: some information about the system and how the user can use this system as well as the purpose of designing and implementing the Event Management System. 3.2 Download and Install WampServer. WampServer represents the environment or the platform of Content Management System with Windows operating system. It is free open source software and it contains three basic components: APACHE, MySQL, and PHP. WAMP stands for WINDOWS, APACHE, MySQL, and PHP. This platform helps the developer and the programmer to deal with the web application easily (Unni, & Baskaran, 2012)
28 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 14 Of course, other web development environments deal with other operating systems such as LAMP dealing with Linux operating System, and MAMP dealing with Mac operating System. As a preliminary step, we download and install WampServer on the development computer. We download the software to the computer from the official website: Download and Install the Drupal System. In this phase, we go to the official Drupal website to download the Drupal system. Among the available versions of Drupal, we choose version 7, to start working with the Event Management System. Downloading the Drupal system is not as easy as downloading and installing other software to the computer. The procedures for download and installation of this system need to work with the phpmyadmin, which represents MySQL database (Xie, 2013). 3.4 Choose, Download and Install the Drupal Theme. One of the important features that allow any programmer or developer to use Drupal is Drupal Theme. Drupal has a huge numbers of themes that provide an easy environment for the programmer or the developer. Drupal Theme is the interface by which the user can interact with the system. After the developer installs the Drupal system, he can find four core themes that already existed in the system. These are Bartik, Seven, Garland, and Stark themes. Each one of these themes has different appearances and features (Cheng, &Wang, 2012).
29 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 15 The developer can choose one of these four themes according to the work needs, but if he does not want one of them, he can go to the official website of Drupal and choose the appropriate theme for the work: Moreover, after the developer goes to the Drupal themes, the developer will find many of the themes. The developer determines the required theme to the work, and then he can make a search to find the appropriate theme easily. Each theme has a brief description that explain some important details about the theme, including theme features, useful fields for choosing the theme, the number of websites that already have used these themes, and the available versions for downloading. Therefore, in this phase, we choose one of the appropriate themes to our work. It is a Dossier Theme. This theme allows the Event Management System to appear simple and flexible for the user because it has appropriate appearance of the design. The URL website for this theme is: Choose, Download and Install the Drupal Modules. Some programmers write codes for several important and particular works or tasks. These codes represent the Drupal modules, which present an excellent and useful service for the Drupal s developers (Cheng, &Wang, 2012). The URL will take users to the appropriate website to download modules. From this website, the developer can search about the appropriate modules to use for the system. There are a huge number of Drupal modules, and each have a brief description, the administrator of the system can choose the modules according to the system requirements.
30 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 16 In this phase, we determine the Event Management System requirements of the modules. In our system, we need four modules to achieve the requirement. The first module is View module; this module will work to make the category of the events and allow for browsing events very easily and without complexity. The View module needs another module to make the tools of API be active; this module is Chaos tool suite (ctools) module. The third one is Webform module. We need this module to create the registration form and collect the results of the form. The last module that we need for the system is Google Map Field module. Through this module, we will be able to determine the location of the Iraqi public universities by using Google Map service. 3.6 Design and Implementation the Event Management System. After completing the pervious phases, we are ready to design and implement the Event Management System. The following points include the steps of designing and implementing the system: 1. Some important information about the Iraqi public universities. 2. The Scientific and Educational Events to be held in Determination of the location of the Iraqi public universities on the map. 4. A brief description about the system. 5. Creation of categories and filtering of events according to the Type, Province, Major, and Date of events. 6. A List of the events to be held this year in the Iraqi public universities. 7. Creation of a registration form with particular fields. 8. Illustration of the results after filling out the registration form.
31 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal Creation of Contact form for the user to be able to contact the administrator of the system. 10. Creation of a search text bar that presents a help for the user to find any information from the system. 11. Addition of the logos of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq with the Iraqi flag as well as the logos of the Iraqi public universities. Consequently, we design and implement this system by dividing into five sections: Home page, About the System, Events, Registration, and Contact us. We can describe the steps of using this system as shown in figure 3.2: User Event Management System Information & Location Iraqi Public Universities System Description Select Event Type, Province, Major, & Date Registration Contact Form Figure 3.2: Event Management System diagram
32 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 18 CHAPTER 4 IMPLEMENTATION 4.1 Download and Install WampServer. The first part of working with Content Management System (CMS) is downloading and installing the local server. In our work, we choose WampServer because we work with Windows operating system as the following steps: We go to the WampServer official website: Then, we choose the download section according to the computer s properties that we have in the operating system. Figure 4.1: WampServer downloading section
33 A Proposed Event Management System in Iraq Using Drupal 19 After choosing the download section, click on the download button to start the installation steps for the WampServer.
