In two days time, participants will be brought up to speed on Drupal and be ready to tackle their own project. This course is designed both for users with no Drupal experience and those who are familiar with Drupal and want to expand their knowledge and dig deeper into their sites. The course provides in-depth discussions on Drupal’s installation process and managing users, comments, and content. Participants will also review Drupal's block system and using taxonomy to categorize their content.
On the first day, significant time will be devoted to creating new content types using the Content Construction Kit (CCK) and exploring field types, widgets, and the corresponding settings.
The second day will be dedicated entirely to CCK and Views. Views is a powerful tool used to create custom pages, blocks, and RSS feeds on your site. Participants will finish the day by creating a photo gallery using CCK, image field, and Views.
