The target group of this talk ...

has a rough idea of ● why using databases (good start)

● the idea of lego bricks (optional but helpful)

● how to find hints on drupal.org (important)● HTML, CSS, Firefox, Firebug, FTP, Editor (important)

Cheap


Your reply in the past

You can only have two of them!

• cheap & fast completion → (NO quality)

• cheap & quality → (NOT fast)

• fast completion & quality → (oh la la - NOT cheap :-) )


One possible solution

developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing, developing


Problems• Module updates

• Core hacking

• Scalability

• Costs

• Communication

• Documentation

• Finding developers


Another possible solution

• Use the drupal “lego bricks“, for exampleCCK, VIEWS & PANELS

• Learn to find the right modules

• Use your developer know-how to contribute to the drupal project and make the bricks better


Hint for hardcore web agencies

… it is possible to earn money... by honest consulting … by using the pre-built bricks... everything is more transparent to your clients and of course for you too :-)

“We want users, not developers, to be able to create custom content types from within

Drupal's administration interface.“

“The current code name for this project is the "content construction kit" (CCK). The project's goal is to allow users to create custom content

types in Drupal through the web.“

http://buytaert.net/custom-content-types


Drupal 6 core (2009)

by using a browser - you can

• create new content types

• assign access rights to different roles (create, edit, delete)

• assign taxonomy vocabularies to your new content type

• change the design by editing node-....tpl.php


Have you ever read README.txt?Content Construction Kit

------------------------

NOTE: Install the advanced_help module (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help)

to access more help (writing still in progress...)

To install, place the entire CCK folder into your modules directory.

Go to Administer -> Site building -> Modules and enable the Content module and one or more field type modules:


Why CCK?

It has a

• text.module

• number.module

• userreference.module

• nodereference.module

for creating additional fields in content-types


Why CCK?

It has an

• optionswidget.module

• fieldgroup.module

for creating additional radio & checkboxes and group fields together in collapsible fieldsets


Why CCK?

It has a

• content_permissions.module

for assigning field based access rights to roles


Thank you for CCKMaintainers

The Content Construction Kit was originally developed by:

• John Van Dyk

• Jonathan Chaffer

Current maintainers:

• Karen Stevenson

• Yves Chedemois

And many other contributors

Views

With views you can configure

• Pages

• Blocks

• Feeds

Based on content types and additional fields


Views Page

Example from http://eu.cocoate.com/


Views Block


Views Feed


Views – exposed filters


The making of


Views Relationships

Imagine a photo db in a newspaper

• Content-type photo

• Content-type article

• Node reference on photo-ID

• Result could be a list of articles with photos from the photo content-type


Views Parameter

Imagine a used car dealer

• Cars on different places

• He wants to have blocks on his website with cars related to places

• Or blocks with places related to the car :-)

• Parameters are coming from the URL


Views – additional designs• Build tagclouds with views tagadelic

• Or coverflow with views imageflow


Views – additional modules

Like a swiss army knife :-)

• Views Bonus Pack

• Views Bulk Operations


Views – Theming• Reduce markup

• Introduce your own css


Thank you for views & panels• Earl Miles, Sony, many contributors

Behind the scenes


I could talk hours about this ...

But when I created this slide I realized ...

• It's more fun to try something in real time

• Unfortunately not in this talk

• But we can try here at the camp

• Any questions so far?


Thank you very much!
