Drupal 7.x

Hi,

I'm working for an educational institute that has recently migrated our old website to Drupal 7. It has not gone live yet and I have some questions about best practices for content management and permissions (I'm not the developer, I'm just involved in setting up the structure and organization).

The site essentially breaks down into the following main topic areas: About, Students, Faculty, Alumni, Library, Information for Visitors.

The content for each major section on the website is managed by discrete departments within the institution, and each department has between 3 and 7 people with varying tech skill levels who need permission to edit pages within their section.

Currently, the developer has set-up over 50 content types that are essentially a Drupal basic page in the following format:

Personal name of individual with maintenance responsibility + main name of main website section + specific topic within this section

Example:
Joe Blow - About - history -
Joe Blow - About - Contact
Joe Blow - About - Faculty
Cindy Loo - About - General
Cindy Loo - About - Directory

This has been done to provide super granular access to individuals who need editing rights.

Roles: no general roles, just specific named individuals.

Concerns:
I'm concerned about this structure for the following reasons:

I'm looking for a scheduling module similar in nature to Hotel Booking for Commerce/Ubercart. I think I could customize this but the problem is that it is integrated into eCommerce and that is pretty deep in there. I just need to strip the eCommerce requirement and be able to have users look at available slots on selected dates and then schedule that slot.

Hi all,

The first thing I want to do is not plug the website but say a big thank you to the Drupal community.

This project could not have succeded without them....or Firebug (life saver) :)

On to the project - Chatterbank:

Chatterbank - Earn rewards for sharing the things you enjoy.

I began building this concept 2 years ago when I had the idea of creating a different type of online community. Instead of spending our time just sharing the content that drives us....why not reward our users for doing just that?

Unfortunately time constraints prevented me from completing the project (especially with the massive Drupal learning curve) so the project was abandoned.

This time around, I got stuck in, from scratch with Drupal 7 and created a building block from which I hope my intended community will grow.

The biggest issue surrounding such a site is the marketing aspect. People immediately switch off when they get a whiff of "Free Money" and I am not entirely surprised, but life is about opportunity - and this is one.

We have the funding to see this through and are driven to produce the end-goal that we set out to achieve - a large community who enjoys receiving rewards for using our website.

Good eve,

I have a node called 'hour_entry' and it has three fields that are title, field_hour and field_minutes. Hour and minutes fields are List(integer) types if it matters. I have made some testing entries aka. nodes - about 10 entries. Then I made a simple view (display as a page, not a block) that lists all hour entries. Path is /my_hours. At last I replaced a default view template with my own (views-view--my_hours.tpl.php) template. At this moment though they are indentitical because I didn't make any changes yet. I just wanted to get this thing as far as I could without any help.

I have also made my own module called accounting_helper and activated it. Accounting is my page's name btw. The module is empty right now.

So what I got so far are content-type, view, custom view template and custom module.

Now the question follows:

If I go to ?q=node/add/hour-entry it opens for me that modal / pop-up window that helps me to add a new node. There are so much unwanted things in it though. Like all the menu and comment settings and such. I don't care about them at this moment. And besides that's not very user friedly either.

That's why I would like to bring a very simple form to my view page. Above the view results would be nice to have a form that has three fields and a save button. Nothing else.

Hi!

I´m building a site were I must be able to post code in my articles, just like the one here on the forum:

This is regular text.

This is code

I´ve installed CKEditor but it seems like it´s missing that feature.
Anyway, how can get a WYSIWYG just like the one here on the forum or maybe something similiar?

Regards.

Hello!
