Would you use Blocks, Panels, Views or Display Suite for this homepage design?

Posted by Debra G on February 17, 2015 at 9:37pm

Colleagues!,

I'm building a Drupal commerce site and wondering how you'd approach the layout for the body of the following homepage design (see attached). The header is already done. It's the body and footer on which I'd like input. Would you use panels? Simple blocks? Your thoughts, suggestions, caveats, and best practice experiences are appreciated. Many thanks. I'll see some of you tomorrow night at the review class.

PHP help

Posted by Debra G on January 28, 2015 at 10:01am

Folks,

This is a Drupal forum so I don't want to clog the airwaves with non-drupal content, but if you are PHP savvy and willing to field a PHP question, please get in touch.

Context: My client, a local movie theater, runs a Sunday Matinee Special every other Sunday starting with the SECOND SUNDAY of every year. So for this year the dates are 1/11, 1/18, 2/8, 2/22, ....

Acquia Certified Front End Specialist Certification Study Group Schedule

Posted by greggmarshall on December 30, 2014 at 8:48pm

The votes and comments are in. Taking a logical union of all the inputs results in an empty set. In other words it doesn’t appear there is a way to satisfy everyone’s needs and wants. So this schedule is a best cut, and recognizes that not everyone will be able to attend all the sessions.
• January 2, 6 pm to 8 pm, Kickoff meeting
• January 3, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
• January 5, 6 pm to 8 pm
• January 6, 6 pm to 8 pm
• January 7, 6 pm to 8 pm
• January 11, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
• January 12, 6 pm to 8 pm

Voting for Study Group Dates/Times

Posted by greggmarshall on December 22, 2014 at 8:59pm

After realizing there is no way to create a multiple option question, or delete a poll after creating it, ignore the two polls and take this SurveyMonkey poll https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KVXWKTF instead.

Acquia Front End Specialist Certification Study Group

Posted by greggmarshall on December 22, 2014 at 8:24pm

I mentioned this at the last user group meeting and during Module Monday. Time to push it forward, so here is the information from the Acquia Website at https://www.acquia.com/customer-success/learning-services/acquia-certifi....

Some reference materials for studying were posted in a blog post at http://www.tanay.co.in/blog/cracking-acquia-certified-developer-front-en... that should be a useful resource.

Help Accessing Local Site

Posted by TravelTechie on December 16, 2014 at 1:53am

So I am having a problem with setting up and accessing the content for a local installation of a Dev Desktop 2 site. At this point I have exhausted my knowledge and feel that this is a simple solution I am not seeing. Here is the situation.

A prod site on has a complete Drupal 7 installation on root publichtml at /example (folder name) with the site files inside the default site folder. I clone my local Drupal codebase and import a sql dump file.
