Drupal Groups Churches Home

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Welcome

Welcome to the Drupal churches group. This is a group centered around building Church websites with Drupal and a point for members of The Church to go out into the Drupal community. In this group we discuss how to use Drupal, modules to use, integrating other services with Drupal, and the ins and outs of building Church websites.

The Drupal church community extends beyond this group. You can find more information and help in the IRC channel #drupal-churches on irc.freenode.org and on the Geeks and God podcast website.

Ticket to DrupalCon for Sale at Earky Bird Price

I bought my ticket months ago and have been eagerly awaiting my third DrupalCon. Then I broke my foot a week ago and need surgery. So, I have a ticket available and all I want is what I paid for it - $400. You can get tickets for two more days for $550 and then $600 on site. This is a great bargain! I even have a hotel room booked across the street. So buy my ticket and I'll transfer the hotel reservation to your name too! Send me a message at e.delgado@pghtechministries.org.

Clothing Ministry

Hi All,

Our church is beginning a clothing ministry. I believe it would be helpful to have an online management system. I'm having difficulty in finding something.

Our church website is drupal, but I was hoping to find a (free) solution that we didn't have to manage or upgrade. Kind of line the online church management systems, only geared toward clothing ministries. I was thinking that some type of inventory management system might work.

Shelby Church and Drupal

I'm in the process of converting our church from Servant Keeper to Shelby. I just got a bare database set up to play with, and it looks pretty slick.

I was wondering if any of you use Shelby and Drupal, and how you make them play well together. We're a small parish, so our needs aren't super-complex, but I'm interested in where you let one pick up from the other; which is the better tool for a given task.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Our website

I just found this group and thought I'd submit our Drupal site to the pool. We've been on Drupal since 2009 when I switched us over from DotNetNuke. I knew nothing about programming in PHP and enough to be dangerous with jQuery. We are constantly improving the site (of course) and I welcome your feedback.

Calvary Chapel Boise (ccboise.org)

Thanks and God bless you!

Horizontal scrollbar always showing

Hi,
Could somebody please help me here - I've got a new church website coming up. It runs on a Fusion/Aquia Marina template, but the horizontal scrollbar is always showing, and you scroll really far...
This breaks the site on iPads etc.
I have looked and looked in the html but can't find any weird css.
I have posted questions in Fusion and Aquia Marina project pages, but no help there. So now I turn to you..!
The (still a test) site is at http://kristentf.openusource.com (it's in Danish in case you wonder).
Thanks in advance!

How to allow videos to play in views slideshow without auto switching?

I'm trying to build a views slideshow (frontpage slider) that includes both images and youtube videos. I got it working, but when I click on the Youtube video to play it, the video starts playing then the slider moves to the next slide based on the amount of time set in the views slideshow settings (in this case 3 seconds). It doesn't allow the video to play in its entirety. I set the views slideshow to "pause on click" thinking that the "click" to play the Youtube video would pause the slideshow... no deal.

How much site storage does a church website need due to sermons?

I'm considering rebuilding our church's website, but haven't worked with audio much in Drupal. The most important resource on the site will be its sermon library. Considering the fact there will be a new 30-40 minute sermon on the site every week, I was hoping that experienced church website builders could give me an idea of how audio file storage affects how you approach site hosting, performance, etc...

Utilizing Organic Groups

Hi,

I am trying to utilize organic groups for a group in my church. I would like this to be a private group and have members able to post content, comments, questions, etc.

I have it pretty much setup, however, in order to allow individuals to post content, I've had to give them permission to use the administrative toolbar. This caused me to create a new role (outside of OG).

Is there a better way to accomplish this? Am I really heading in the right direction?

I need a way to do effective scheduling for the volunteers where we can look acroos the board and see if people are over scheduled into different areas of responsiblity or to be able to look at a particular event and ensure that we are adequately covered. Has anyone run into this and have any ideas they could share?

Issue Tracking In The Church

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience using any of the Drupal issue tracking modules in a church context. I've looked over this Project Management/Issue Tracking page here http://groups.drupal.org/node/17948 and I like the features of Storm. I'm a little distressed by the lack of a stable Drupal 7 version, but other than that it looks really good.
