List out and migrate case studies from book pages to new Case study content type

There is also a listing of a few case studies in the "Who Else Uses Drupal?" section. It is broken out by category (current examples are "Magazines" and "Newspapers") so there should probably be some taxonomy for the case studies.

Assigning to myself.

Moved to the Redesign project

untagging redundant ooh yea.

Moving to section-specific component

Can we implement this using just a taxonomy term?

Keeping these as done right now until we have a very good reason to change.

I'm reopening this issue, as I think we should still consider moving case studies. Currently the Case Study landing page is just a top level book page without a clear process for adding or removing sites (see #997456: Process for adding sites to http://drupal.org/cases), and it really isn't very useful. If we had case studies as their own content type we could create fields for specific aspects of the case studies (and/or taxonomies), and make this section into a Solr enabled (and actually useful) marketing/discovery/learning tool.

I'm going to tag the items related to the redesign of the "Case Studies" section, similarly to what we're doing for the Marketplace section...

...Changing the tag to match Neil's d.o. marketplace tag...

the new showcase is getting built at #948062: Build Drupal Case Studies. once that is done, we will migrate the best existing case studies to the new content type.

Moving to the webmaster queue for now (clearing out redesign project)

adding list of all migrated case studies

If you have the site maintainer role on Drupal.org, you can make these redirects. tvn - please go ahead and request that in another webmasters issue.

added next steps

adding fixed nodes

adding more fixed nodes

I fixed all already migrated studies, now we need to review/migrate what's left:
46 nodes under http://drupal.org/success-stories
and 2 nodes under http://drupal.org/node/233897

There are still a lot of case studies to migrate and most of the time they need to be updated/adjusted for the new content type, which is best done by their authors. I don't want to postpone wide announcement of new case-studies section till we migrate all of them. And also people keep adding new pages to old /cases section.

How about we do the following:
1. move old case study book pages to archive book
2. contact all node authors informing them that we have new case study section and old case studies will be unpublished in 1 month and that they are welcome to migrate their case studies. ask them to leave a comment here when they do, so we could unpublish the old one.

In a month we'll take a look at how many were migrated and decide what to do with the rest. Meanwhile we could move forward with announcing new section and seek new case studies.

+1 to tvn's suggestion in #21, with the agreement that we'll have the case studies section implemented with improved layout/design.

adding last 2 nodes

I moved what's left of case studies to archive. Will start contacting authors as soon as someone will review case studies guidelines #1564766: Create case study guidelines.

http://drupal.org/node/288658 to http://drupal.org/node/1497168

This one needs additional work; the site in question has had both the front-end and the backend redone a couple of times since the case study was written and the copy is outdated. I think this case study is well-written and should be kept in the list, but it should have a note at the beginning explaining that this is the story of the site's 2008 rebuild and that there have been a lot of changes made to it since. We should also go back to the 2008 version of the screenshot, as the version currently there was designed for a newer version of the site.

This would be a good candidate for a "classic" or "hall of fame" category; regardless, the screenshot should be reverted to the 2008 version. I can't seem to find the original node; any pointers?

Not sure what to do with this one http://drupal.org/node/1230668 - it's a case study of a module, not a website.

Will finish this later because of "You cannot contact more than 10 users per hour. Please try again later." Sigh.

Hello. I'd like other members of my company staff (DPCI) to have access to edit the migrated case studies. How do i go about getting other members of my team access to edit?

saitanay, mvc, tgardner thank you for commenting here, redirects set.

tgardner, only author of the node can edit it. We can switch author for someone else if you like but it still will be only 1 account.

I can see that following case studies migrated also:

http://drupal.org/Dahon-Folding-Bicycles to http://drupal.org/node/1598960
http://drupal.org/node/1116738 to http://drupal.org/node/1615086

I migrated mine, it's a shame to lose the comments.

(1) This is a comprehensive case study that may qualify for Featured. The subject of the website (Haydock Park race course) is well-known in UK. The case study has some technical value, though a fair bit of it focuses on the website's Flash content.

(2) This is an outstanding and comprehensive case study that deserves a spot in the Featured showcase. There's a second page on Drupal docs http://drupal.org/node/1442484 which acts as an appendix and lists (with details) all the site's content types, taxonomy, contrib, custom and sandbox modules. Adding all this to the new case study seems a bit much, but I'd be happy to do it - or perhaps just the module info could be integrated. The module list (via widget) does need additional content.

There are lots of inline images in tables, which I copied across. They look fine and hopefully they don't break any coding 'rules'.

I think we should try to engage the help of the author/developer with this one. I had to break up the text to fit the new sections and I'd feel better if I knew he was happy with the new layout and structure.

A comment about number 15.

comment about number 18 - Tezza

Awesome, Tezza! I set redirects for all except MSKCC.org one, please do whatever is needed to make it ready for the Featured section and tell me when I can deleted old case study and set redirect to the new one. Thanks!

Re: "15. http://drupal.org/node/267393 - The text says this well-crafted site is D5 - outdated? Tezza" this case study is a forum post, so it was one of the 2 I was going to remove from the list "to be migrated" yesterday. Removed "17. http://drupal.org/node/131592" by mistake instead of this one. Fixed now.

"18. http://drupal.org/node/1188342 - The site was last updated July 2011 and is somewhat sparse with an empty twitter feed and broken download links - Review for suitability? Tezza" agree, let's move it to outdated ones.

Re: MSKCC.org, described in #44 :-

Old: http://drupal.org/node/1442472 & http://drupal.org/node/1442484
New: http://drupal.org/node/1726750

I've now copied everything from the above two pages, including the extensive listings of 'content-types' and 'vocabularies' from the appendix page. I think this is a little too much for the case study, but better to move it than lose it. That conversation can now be had in the Promotion Request issue: https://drupal.org/node/1727484

17. http://drupal.org/node/131592 - This is a D5 case study

update

RGS completed item 12, node 314624 to 1735192

tagged 17 as D5 - Tezza

Added redirect for MSKCC.org. Re: 17 moved it to outdated then. And unpublished all outdated case studies for now. Marking an issue fixed finally!

wooohoo! Thanks for all your hard work!
