At the last UMASS Drupal Group meeting I mentioned we were soon to be relaunching our site on Drupal 8.

Showcase: Workplace Learning & Development Site

Posted by patalano on July 12, 2013 at 3:48pm

I upgraded www.umass.edu/wld from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 / Omega 3 theme and gave it a fresh design. It went live in September 2015.

An important feature of this site is the sign-up online process. I used the sign-up module and Shibboleth integration. The sign-up form pre-populates with data from the University's database as a result.

Due to a limitation in the signup module, I used hook form alter and added node object $node field_starts to fetch the workshop date field and include it in the admin email (in template.php).

Showcase: Office of the Bursar site

The UMass Amherst Bursar site was designed and developed in May 2013 by Joanne Patalano, Web Designer for A&F Administration Systems, in Drupal 7. I used the Omega theme, Nice Menus for the main menu and Menu Block for the sidebar menu.
