UPDATED WITH BETTER TORRENT FILE LINKS

Thanks to mpare and greggles, last sunday's screencast is available via bittorrent. This lesson covers some of the fundamentals of PHPTemplate, Drupal's default theming engine, as well as how to create your own tpl.php files, override built-in functions, best practices for following the MVC standard, as well as the fine work being done as part of the Themer Pack Working Group.

Many thanks to merlinofchaos for helping out on the skype and IRC channels.

Grab the torrent here.

Are you planning on posting the screen capture from your machine?

Thanks,
Pat Myers

Yeah

isn't it?

Is there a different file that's from your screencapture and this is from the vnc or something?

This is what I got from mpare.

Some how somewhere along the lines I must have uploaded the wrong file. Greggles now has the correct file and we should be seeing this soon.

Peace,

Torrent Node?

I would love to see a torrent node with a list of all the dojo lesson torrents posted. You have to dig a bit to find all the links. A seperate node would be handy for those coming 6 months down the line to request a re-seed if necessary as well.

learn one, teach one, do one

editing instructions -> editing -> posted on drupal.org

greggles's picture

Hello,

Please see http://groups.drupal.org/node/2645

We currently have a project under way that works like this:

  1. we collect editing instructions for the movies. We need this to give to some students who are helping to edit the movies.

  2. They do the editing for us :)

  3. Then we will post the final versions on Drupal.org

That will solve the problem of torrents disappearing and downloads getting lost, but in order to get there we need people to help provide editing instructions on http://groups.drupal.org/node/2645

I know that you don't have instructions for a movie without seeing it first, but your help on any of the movies that you have seen would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

I've temporarily hosted it

I've temporarily hosted it at drupaldojo.com - Here (screencast link on the right), but I'm hoping that someone with more bandwidth will be able to host them soon - perhaps even groups.drupal.org itself?

Please reference the drupaldojo.com site for this info

As of 02/17/2007 there is a repository of lessons on the http://drupaldojo.com/lessons/ page that includes permalinks for all screencasts. As the final edited versions roll in from greggles and the editing team, those links will become active. Stay tuned!

lesson idea for 7: access control on views

lapur's picture

lesson 6 is great.

2 ideas for lesson 7.
1) putting access control on a view
2) making a list of og groups that is different from the default (different fields, different sorting)

thank you for great lessons!

Access control on view

Why dont you use TPB torrent tracker?
It is most convenient way to share.
Please.
