mumobo - music, movies and books

After a few months working on it I've just launched a new website: mumobo, a site dedicated to reviews of books I read, movies I watch and music I listen.

This is my most complete PHPTemplate modification to date. I decided to base my design in a fixed 1024 x 768 layout, my other sites' statistics were more than enough prove to justify the decision. The additional pixels added some freedom in the design process.

www.ChatterMoms.com Forums Revamped

www.chattermoms.com/forum

This is a drupal forum with several tweaks and additions to make it appear more like a phpbb forum, but better.

Features:
1) User Pictures in the "Created" and "Last Reply" fields.
2) New Forum Topic Icons show on the top level. Inside drupal, the new topic icon appears one level too low. This is fixed.
3) Signatures are attached automatically, and without pasting the code in the body of the post like the typical signature module works. Originally, users would go to make a new post and their signature code would be pasted into the new post window. VERY annoying. This was fixed in the forums by the flatforum module, but this has been tweaked even further so that this automatic signature functionality is carried throughout all posts, i.e. blogs, stories, pages, comments, etc. Anywhere where I have the signatures enabled.
4) When logged in, the "New Forum Posts" block on the left only shows posts that are new to that particular user. This is meant to emulate the "View All Posts Since Last Visit" feature in PHPBB.
5) Automatic subscriptions when creating a post, but this can also be deselected when creating a post if you dont want to be subscribed. This subscribe checkbox is checked or unchecked by default based on what settings you have inside the My Account page.
6) Larger signature capability. Drupal signatures default to having a 255 character limit. This is frustrating for sites where large signatures are common. We have increased the signature character limit and increased the formatting options to allow for blinkies and images in the signatures.

Culture Majeure

http://www.culture-majeure.com

Culture Majeure is a french company, they give art courses –music, fine arts, dance, etc.– one-to-one or collective, to individuals and companies. They also organize conferences and workshop among other things.

Technically there is nothing too fancy, the site is build mainly with book pages. A few modules were added: locale to translate the interface into french, TinyMCE for the editors, webform for contact forms or to apply as a teacher...

As this was myfirst Drupal site, I decided to start with an existing theme. So I used Bluemarine but just kept the PHP code, the html is 100% custom xhtml/css.

For the navigation menu I needed to style each level, and what I tried to achieve proved to be impossible in IE with the standard html menu output. So the menu is a custom PHP block, based on a snippet I found in the handbook, which adds classes with level depth and active item:

<ul class="lvl1">
..<li class="active"><a href="/drupal-cm/?q=courses">A topic</a>
....<ul class="lvl2">
etc.

I'll detail it on the original snippet page as a comment.

The most tedious part of the project was by far the deadly combination of Microsoft products + TinyMCE. Copying in Powerpoint or Word and pasting in the text field produced horrendous code. So we had to use TinyMCEs' "PasteText" extension, but it didn't solve all the problems. To my complete amazement, different browsers produced different html code in the wysiwyg field... I'll definately have to investigate a bit more to see if I can set TinyMCE to produce better code.

Still a bit rough round the edges. In fact, it's rough pretty much everywhere. Still, it works :)
