This month Jay Epstein (@jeppy64 http://jay-epstein.com/) continued talking about Display Suite. Jay went in depth into some of the really interesting functionality for the Drupal Display Suite module. He covered these topics:
- Using display suite (DS) on a per content type basis and override the tpl.php file (e.g. node.tpl.php).
- In conjunction with the context module, you can also use display suite to decide what different users see per role per content type.
-Display Suite extras
- Code fields for DS and how you can use them to access tokens.
- DS block fields and dynamic fields
- Menu blocks

Next month, Jay will be talking about "Display Suite Part 3: Let's look at some examples".

We had five remote participants via Skype/Join.me and two in the meeting room.
