This project extends the Drupal user interface from a "local" site to allow for the visual design and edit of content stored in one or more "remote" databases. This project defines a remote database as a database:
- other than the primary (or a slave) database for the "local" site
- associated with another site, often as its primary database
Visual design includes the use of Views and Panels on the local site to create displays of content domiciled on a remote site. In other words, the remote database is another source of content for the local site. Also, users have the ability to seamlessly create and update content stored in a remote database while working from the local site.
Use cases
An organization maintains a group of sites with one site being the repository for a certain type of content such as news or calendar events.
Example 1: an organization with individual sites for member groups of the organization.
Example 2: a university with a main site and separate sites for each school or college.
Example 3: a business with separate sites for individual business units.
Basic theme, using PureCSS framework.
About PureCSS:
A set of small, responsive CSS modules that you can use in every web project.
Pure is ridiculously tiny. The entire set of modules clocks in at 5.7KB minified and gzipped, without forgoing responsive styles, design, or ease of use. Crafted with mobile devices in mind, it was important to us to keep our file sizes small, and every line of CSS was carefully considered. If you decide to only use a subset of these modules, you'll save even more bytes.
Grid overlay with possibility of back end presenting of grid size. This Module helps while building theme and adjusting the basic proportions of the web page.
