As I have mentioned in earlier posts (while begging for help and assistance.. :-P) a company have decided to pay me for my hobby. This has now finally resultet in a site. The very first site I have been paid to make :-D I was responsible everything except content and graphics work (graphics was provided by the client and enhanced by my coworker)
http://petvett.no
The site is only available in Norwegian (the site is for a chain of Norwegian pet clinics)
I'd be thankful for any feedback to help me do my next site better.
Life = Art is a site to support *living* artists across genre. We feature the audio, video, images and text works of living artists. Our goal is to get artists and fans of the arts working together on promoting the work of living artists. We support a free fan listing and multi-level subscriptions for "super fans" and artists. Higher subscription levels get more disk space for their work (artists). The site is pretty large and uses the following modules :
1. ecommerce (with role subscription patch and other minor modifications).
2. A new module (based on the nodevideo module) which will display audio, video or image attachments for a given node. In this way, users can create mixed media portfolios. If it finds and audio with a video file it will display them both, side by side.
3. Modified upload module which stores files in user directories (found this patch on the drupal site). This is key to scale any type of media site and should be moved into the upload module asap IMHO. The upload module has another key feature which allows us to limit disk space by role. This in combo with role subscriptions allows us to charge users for disk space -- basically space to upload their works.
4. Chatroom module. This mod is still being developed (thanks a ton) but we needed this feature right away so we went for it! Works great so far. Haven't used under heavy load yet.
Hi all,
I just finished a small job developing a pretty simple site for an anti-war activist: http://mikeferner.org
He needed the ability to:
collect email address and send an e-newsletter - Module, Simplenews
accept donations - ecommerce of course
sell his book - ecommerce
A Photo Gallery - Image, Img-Assist
create and categorize articles - I used CCK and freetagging to tailor the article node for his needs.
An article archive area - I used the standard search, nodequeue so he could control the "recommended reads" area, and Views for a title only archive page.
A few things I learned this time around:
And I've made the executive decission to never install a WYSIWYG editor ever again, so Mike gets to learn markdown using the marksmarty module.
And lots of liberal use of the localization option to change out phrases to suit the site better.
Learn to love template.php and forget about the sections module ala
I have plenty of small tasks remaining, like clean the huge css file, cleanup some code.
I've been lurking the last year developing my drupal skills. I'm probably clinically addicted to drupal! Looking foward to getting more involved with the community, and a big thanks to the community, especially Lullabot for their great podcasts, and early on I learne
