Whenever I go to other cities, I usually make use of public transportation. Recently, I traveled to Minneapolis for a friend's wedding, and was able to get around quite easily using the local bus and light rail system. I accessed the information on my mobile phone and was able to easily travel from downtown to St. Louis Park using the bus, and from downtown to the airport using the light rail. I never used a taxi, or got a ride from a friend during my 4 day visit. And I did it all on my iPhone.

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 need to create custom user login page in Drupal 7, here is a good way to go about it:
Step 1, register user-login.tpl.php in template.php like so (where hook is the name of your theme):
<?php
function hook_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path){
return array(
'user_login' => array(
'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
'template' => 'user-login',
),
);
}
?>

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());
//Load Drupal
require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
?>

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 .

An obligatory title for the first post on a site.
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.
