This month we had a presentation on Views and Panels.
Phil Smith (@SiliconValet), the main organizer of DrupalCamp South Florida, spent the entire meetup talking about Views and Panels. You can take a look at the presentation here: http://prezi.com/bvgthhqj_qht/copy-of-introduction-to-panels-and-views/
Here are some of the things discussed during the presentation:
- Built a Spacely Sprockets site using Views and Panels
- Created content type: cog
- Views Display shows some of the fields of cog content type
- Discussed using Panels vs. Blocks
- Think of Panels as a concierge : a) depending on context, certain content is displayed. b) blocks with brains.
- Modules used for demo: Views, Panels and mini Panels. Also, enable custom content panes in ctools
We had two remote participants via Skype/Join.me and six in the meeting room.
Next month we will have our monthly meetup at ITPalooza (12.12.12): http://itpalooza.e2mktg.com/ . It will be at NSU, and we will have a Drupal table there along with a presentation for the sessions.
