Show off your Drupal site

We are pleased to announce the Alpha Launch of http://www.3localbids.com site. Would love to have feedback from audience from the given cities.

About the Site :
--------------------

3LOCALBids is a delight for homeowners. Now they can just take pictures
of the work they need done in their homes and post it here for all their
local handymen and contractors to see. This saves time - no need to search
for right person, spend hours on phone trying to explain the problem,
meeting with contractors to show them the job, negotiating the price
and maybe repeating the process a few times.

It's the ideal tool for contractors and handymen too because they don't have
to travel miles for small jobs that they aren't interested in or aren't
awarded. It allows them to look at a job in their region and then bid on it
if its within 50 miles.

Homeowners get 3 bids and then they can choose 1 contractor during or
after the time when the bid close.

- This saves time for everyone ( in turn saves money )
- This is environment friendly ( saves gas for contractor to travel and
then not get it or he may not want to do the job)
- Gets homeowners different quotes to pick a price point.

During the alpha launch the following cities are available.

Vancouver
Calgary
Kelowna
Seattle
Portland
Bellingham

Already described this site on my blog (with video clip), but here's some more technical details.

The site in question, ComicJuice.com is a comic mash up tool: visitors build comic strips with panels and bubbles, based on images on the web. A lot of effort has gone into elegance and usability, as well as the use of recent technologies online. Because of this, Internet Explorer is not supported.

The site is built on Drupal 5 and features loads of custom code (mostly JavaScript) to make the comic creation and viewing work. Noticable is the use of <canvas> for the (procedural) speech bubbles. The modules used are all quite simple. Aside from core, there is Views, Tagadelic, Pathauto and Akismet. The theme is a heavily modified Garland, with almost all the images replaced and some layout changes in the content.

I used jQuery 1.1 and Interface as the base (with the jQuery 1.0 compatibility plug-in for Drupal core), I basically just started building out all the different behaviours until it slowly came together. First I built the bubble model, made it resizable, added the sliders, etc. Debugging tools like Firebug were a life saver here for figuring out browser quirks.

Hello everybody.

Jeremy Tirrell (from Purdue University) had written Using Drupal in an Academic Environment in http://praxis.technorhetoric.net/index.php/Webcoursetools/tirrell1.

More attention is put into technicalities and the academic context than in pedagogy and how Drupal had really helped his University/courses, but even so, it is valuable as a source of direct experience in pedagogic uses (and examples) of Drupal.

Best regards...

When trying to display my flexinode list:

I get 'Page Not Found' error.

Has anyone run into this before? I have used flexinode quite a bit and cannot figure this one out.

Thanks,

About two weeks ago, I had this fantastic idea... You know the idea that I'm talking about. The idea that keeps you up all night. Well, to start things off, I think that I should just say that I have a small little obsession. This is also an obsession that I share with about 500 million other people, and its called MySpace. After playing around on MySpace for a little while, I realized that it would be so cool, if I could replace my friend box with a Flash widget! So, I did what any other super geek would have done with that idea, and I created the MOST ELABORATE Flash widget of all mankind. I conjured up some ActionScript that would actually scan peoples MySpace URL and then magically parse out all the information that I needed to create all the links... Not only that! But I made this thing skinnable. Meaning that anybody could create their own skins! NOT ONLY THAT, but I wrote a Drupal 5 website to allow people to log in, create their Flash Friend box, while I would just sit back and watch the Viral marketing take hold. Don't believe me? Go to http://www.flasherrific.com and see for yourself! You can even click on the link http://www.flasherrific.com/templates to see all the templates I made.

Hey guys,

Here is my very first drupal website. It's a sports site for my local gridiron sports team here in Melbourne, Australia. Its running drupal 5.1 and I have used a modified GlossyBlue theme.

Everything from online player profiles, news and adding sponsors can be done by authenticated club commitee members. I still have a few bugs to work out here and there (like the gallery section - soon to be using gallery 2.0 module), but overall it works well for what we need.
