This month, Jay ( https://jay-epstein.com/, https://twitter.com/jeppy64 ) talked about the basics for getting started creating community sites. Jay covered the following topics:
- How posts work (what fields used to generate the post end up in the URL of the post and which don’t)
- Aggregated views (to display a count for each row returned in the view)
- The basic components of a view that will be used on a community site to display different components of the posts on the site

Building Community Sites - Broward Drupal Meeting Minutes - Wed November 13th, 2019
This month, we talked about two different methods for creating a community site. The first was using the Open Social Drupal distribution for creating site https://www.floridavoterrestoration.com/. We walked through how to create different content on the site, including how Open Social builds it. We also walked through the backend, showed pros/cons of using Open Social, and how to tweak some of the default settings to make the site more usable. For example, all events in Open Social are upcoming events. We showed how to display past events as well.
