I recently tweeted about how I have developed a bad habit of creating .php files for everyday development needs within a given Drupal site, in essence speeding the development process up. Or so I used to think.
I created this visualization demonstrating Drupal usage rates. For a future project, I want to build it with processing.js (using a dynamic data delivery method).
Recently, I had to implement a custom design on a Drupal form used for editing profile information. Forms needs to be inviting to entice users into interaction, but the process for implementing beautiful design into a Drupal form is a bit of a hurdle and is typically slow going if you don't have it bookmarked or documented. Understanding this process will help you better understand how Drupal works if you're approaching Drupal as a theme developer or designer. At least it did for me.
If you want to leverage Drupal 7 outside of a module, theme or node, just add bootstrap it to the top of a blank php page. First, set your working directory, bootstrap Drupal, then go nuts.
<?php
//set the working directory
chdir('/path/to/drupal/root');
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
The SCAD Challenge is a scholarship competition for high school seniors applying to the university. Students register and submit their work using a Drupal-powered interface.
One application request was a voting interface for judges. This user group will need to vote on each challenge (there are a dozen), and the application needs to tally votes, determine if they've voted yet, and so forth .
I'm starting this over. After sitting idle for over a year, this space was in desperate need of updating. Sometimes it's best to start from scratch, so I wiped the old Drupal 6 site and its dated content and am starting fresh with Drupal 7.7.
I hope to write mostly about various applications and websites I am building for the Savannah College of Art and Design as well as other projects and interests.
