Showcase

In December 2015, I launched the Rent or Drive Calculator - a custom module I developed that uses Drupal's Form API.

See www.umass.edu/transportation/calculator. Try it, and tell me what you think.

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

I just wanted to pass the news along that we did in fact relaunch our blog on Drupal 8 recently. It came out great! Here are a couple posts we did about it:

Rob and I are headed to SandCamp to present about it and a couple other things.

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).

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.

The UMass Registrar site was implemented in Drupal 7 by UMass University Relations.
