Instructional D3

I did a Google search recently to see how people were creating image galleries in Drupal. I found several options but none did what I needed. So I combined strategies offered by those who have shared before me and came up with a way to have two image gallery displays automatically appear on the gallery page AND allow images to belong to multiple galleries. Let's see how it's done.

On this project, my role was to develop a Drupal site for DUMC. Tasks included:

• Submit a proposal
• Collect requirements
• Create wireframes
• Capture the design from the client
• Coordinate theme development
• Coordinate hosting services
• Develop the site
• Develop banner images
• Work with server techs to configure server to support Drupal
• Design and deliver Drupal training sessions
• Coordinate logo design and development

Although we might not to believe that our Drupal has a learning curve, we must face facts. With each development project, I find ways to train my client. Sometimes I train them to be builder and sometimes just content loaders. I am sure there are many Drupal developers out there who face the same requirement with their clients. My colleague (Carla Briceno from Bixal Solutions) and I have come together to offer hands-on introductory training opportunities in the Washington DC area.

Please join us for a hands-on introduction to Drupal provided by Bixal (www.bixal.com) and IDCM Innovations (http://idcminnovations.com/).

Schedule: May 8th and May 15th, 2010 from 9:00am to 1:00pm each day.

Course Cost: $200.00.
This is the first time offering this course so we are offering it at an introductory price. We look forward to your feedback.

How do you make the default installation of Drupal into what you want? How do you know which modules you will need? How do you organize your content? How do you get your content into your site?

This article considers the insert view module as a means of adding a view to a page. With this method, you don't need a unique content type, you just need to enable the insert_view filter. This is probably the easiest way to insert a view into your page.

In this short article, I am going to look at using the view reference module as a means of adding a view to a page. With this method, you can create a content type that has an option to display content from a view. You can use a view as is or pass it an argument. The sections below present a sample scenario, steps for implementing view reference, and a layout tip.

In this short article, I am going to share with you what Jess Snyder is doing with her sites by using the CCK computed field module. With this method, you can create a content type that is designed to display content from a view after the node has passed an argument to the view.
