Drupal Highlights:
Working without imagefield (sucks)
jQ Media very cool, took me a little while, the tutorial video helped.... but remember to add a .swf player to the root install
FileField is very versicle and can be quite helpful, was better than I was expecting and I think I will be using it for some mp3's on my next build.
Frequently Asked Questions... let's hear it for open source! I was asked to add this feature to the website, and lowandbehold there it was in the modules for all to share!!! Works great, cool features, very happy with it indeed!
Outcome:
I am really happy with this site. Designing for the user to use the back end for adding their own content was really exciting and forced me to really think about some bugs, fixes, and workarounds. I spent today with the client and walked him through the back end, explained content, views, and blocks... I have it set up pretty straight forward so there are only a few options for him to use. bottom line: YEA!
