Joomla vs. Drupal Terminology

Joomla and Drupal have different terms:

1. Joomla Template = Theme in Drupal.
2. Component = Module in Drupal.
3. Module = Block in Drupal.
4. Mambot/Plugin = Input filter in Drupal.

Joomla vs Drupal

 

1. Drupal allows you to assign content to several Sections/Categories, while Joomla only supports one Section and one Category for each Article.
2. Drupal supports multi-site setups, so a migration from " multi-site with Drupal" to Joomla must be put into a certain site.
3. Drupal has built-in forum discussion and you don't need to install any additional modules.
4.  "Blog" term in Joomla is actually a teaser of contents : Title, Introduction and a Read More link. It's not the same as blog in Internet dictionary.So, Joomla supports a 'Blog' by default,  but with a different meaning.
5. Comments on contents are not available in Joomla by default, but Drupal supports comments for all content-types by default.

There are many reasons to do this, for example:
