development

Hi,

I want to make a theme that can display the same front page theme layout for some categories/links .

For instance the site will have News categories like local, national, international, business,etc. Each menu link to these should display the same home front page format. And news promoted to front page to these categories should move to the corresponding front pages.

Any ideas, inputs to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Hi everybody,

I started using Drupal a few months ago and am now redesigning the newspapers website that I work for. Before, we had a local web development company creating it for us, but they've become pretty unresponsive to your requests over the past year, so we've decided to create it in-house using Drupal.

Maybe this is a newbie question, but I'm sure everybody has ran into. It regards sections for our news site.

I have set up a Taxonomy vocabulary called "Sections" and inside of it there is a hierarchy for our consistent articles that run each week. Example:

News

Looking for opinions on 3rd party ad serving systems. Our current service (Burst Media AdConductor) was inherited from earlier development efforts and I'd like to compare it against other systems popular with media sites. Anybody have any relevant insight and or good experiences with a particular system? Thanks.

I have a newspaper web site I have created and am expanding in Drupal. I wish to have a second "front" page of the site - a Sports page, which will look like the front page and have more spots for advertising, etc. Users will be able to select Sports via navigation and be directed to this page.

When I create a page in Drupal it shows the title of the page on the upper left of the page, but on the main page of the site, there is no title. I want a page like the main (front) page w/o the title so that I can display a "SPORTS" banner on the top.

I am looking into the options for a home page of a newspaper site. The basic design we are looking at is similar to the news.fedex.com site. This is the functionality we are looking for and haven't seen one with it. I have looked at slideshow, but it doesn't seem to be exactly what we are looking for. This also could have been custom built, but I'm not sure. I like the ability to click on a number and be taken to that article. Thanks in advance.

I've previously mentioned that we at Morris have been working on a standard configuration to support moving all of our newspaper sites to Drupal. We began by jumping into the deep end of the pool with our biggest and most complicated problem (oops, I mean newspaper): the Florida Times-Union. We threw the switch Wednesday morning and made the new Jacksonville.com site live.

We do plan to release code, templates and configurations, but we're not nearly ready to do that yet. We have to move on to rebuild the Topeka Capital-Journal's website, CJOnline.com, and evolve a standard setup that we're happy with. Meanwhile, I've been blogging about some of the details, and you can follow along.

It's been awhile since I posted an update on the Morris project to build a newspaper site management system on the Drupal platform. We're moving toward a complete relaunch (and complete redesign) of Jacksonville.com, our largest newspaper site, in a couple of weeks. Some details are posted on my blog.

Major modules being used are:

CCK
Views
Panels 2
Content Recommendation Engine
Daypart (new module to be released by Morris)
FeedAPI
Image, Imagecache
Lightbox2
Nodequeue
Organic Groups
Signwriter
Webform
Buddylist
SWF tools

We are putting together a sports news site and are investigating ways of creating content/nodes offline (at an event etc) with the following workflow:

1. Site editors create the content item (display fields, taxonomy, body text, photos etc) locally
2. Hook up to internet and simply publish complete item into drupal site with one click.

Has anyone got any good pointers on this? One avenue we are looking at is using Adobe Air.

Thanks.

I just found the Innovation News Installation Profile and wanted to post it here on the Newspaper Group. (I know the issue of newspaper installation profiles has been discussed more than once here, and maybe someone would like to know about it.)

I haven't tried it yet, but will have a closer look when I get time.

Cheers!
