presentation notes

Slides for my "Achieving Awesome Drupal Design" presentation have been saved as a PDF document and are available for download. The PDF export did not work correctly for slides with lots of animation such as the design examples. Half of the design examples were from my workplace Image X Media so you can always visit our portfolio there to see many of the examples again. The presentation was taped and I'm sure that it will be online soon.

I recently did a presentation for the Vancouver Drupalers on how to abuse a list view into making a scheduling grid:

I've posted a write-up of the presentation in the Vancouver group. If you're interested, check out: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2647

As promised, a write-up of my presentation at the January Drupalers meeting.

My name is Dale McGladdery, and I'm a Drupala ... sorry, wrong meeting. Here we go.

Northern Voice Scheduling Grid

The Views module via theming allows custom formatting of list views using PHP code. This formatting method, combined with CCK, can be used to provide a data driven schedule grid. This was used to create the Northern Voice scheduling grid: 2007.northernvoice.ca/schedule.

This Views feature was also used to create the Northern Voice FAQ page: 2007.northernvoice.ca/faq

My apologies for people looking for an exact how-to. This will, I'm positive, give you enough information to recreate the grid, but it isn't a complete set of step-by-step instructions.
