What is COD?

+COD is the Conference Organizing Distribution of Drupal and is primarily used for building and running conference, barcamp, or event websites. The useCOD.com site outlines a list of available features. +While we have tried to make the interface and documentation useful, learning about fundamental Drupal concepts such as permissions and essential modules such as Views and Ubercart are necessary to get the most out of COD. + +

Get started

  1. Download COD. Need help downloading COD? -
  2. Install COD as you would any other Drupal site, but choose "Conference Organizing Distribution". See the Drupal installation guide for more details. -
  3. Once installed and logged (you will be user 1, with administrative capabilities). Create a few test users. -

  5. Download and install COD (need help?) as you would any other Drupal site, making sure to choose the "Conference Organizing Distribution" option on the first installation screen.
  6. The default home page is the COD configuration instructions. You should unpublish it before making the site available to non-admins.
  7. Create a new home page with Views, Panels or a single node that\'s configured to be the front page.

Clicking on it will expand it display an administration menu, which you\'ll use to administer your site. The menu items here can also be customized, as we have done with the \'Conference management\' section of the admin toolbar. - -

Create conference attendees

  • Once installed and logged in as user 1 (the default), you can create users. By default, people can also make themselves members of the site, without administrator oversight, by going to http://[yourdomain]/user. (If that\'s what you want, add an obvious link to that page on your site.) +

    Create events

    +COD assumes that a conference can encompass multiple events — for example, sessions at a day-long course. However, you can create conferences that contain only one event (such as a concert).
      -
    1. First, create an event node (node/add/event). Title, SKU, and a sell price are required for paid events, but description, start date/time, and end date/time are highly recommended. Everything else is optional. -
    2. Install and configure an Ubercart payment gateway, or disable/uninstall Ubercart if you aren\'t going to charge for your event. -
    3. Ensure people can find the link to sign up, either by creating a block or primary menu link. +
    4. Create a node of the Event content type (node/add/event). The SKU is required, and must be unique: It becomes the event\'s "primary key". +
    5. If you\'re going to charge for events, install and configure an Ubercart payment gateway. (If not, you can disable Ubercart.) +
    6. Ensure people can find the link to sign up, by creating either a block or primary menu link.
    7. Check permissions (as in, anonymous users have permission to sign up) and start promoting.
