This year's Drupal in?Libraries Birds of a Feather session will be on Wednesday, May 11th from 3:45 to 4:45 in the Cherry Hill BoF Room (291) at the Morial Convention Center.
There is no agenda, so please bring your questions and stories. We would all love to see what you have been up to.
Among the things that we are interested in are the upcoming version of Islandora and summer reading programs.
At Cherry Hill we have begun to use the Flexible Colors module extensively in our client sites. The idea behind Flexible Colors is that color presets can be created for a site so that users or administrators can easily switch between them without touching the theme CSS.
On a recent project I was using the combination of Field Collection, Entity Reference, Taxonomy Terms, and Context to make a reusable set of references to terms on various content types. Then, based on the referenced term, I wanted to satisfy a context condition.
Due to the somewhat?complex structure, the context was not aware of the term referenced through entity reference and the field collection.
Last year, we reached a milestone at Cherry Hill when we moved all of our projects into a managed deployment system. We have talked about?Jenkins,?one of the tools that we use to manage our workflow and there has been continued interest on what our "recipe" consists of. Being that we are using open source tools,?and we think of ourselves as?part of the (larger than Drupal) open source community, I want to share a bit more of what we use and how it is stitched together.
From October 13 - 16, 2014, I had the opportunity to go to (and the priviledge to present at) Islandora Camp Colorado (http://islandora.ca/camps/co2014). These were four?fairly intensive days, including?a last day workshop looking to the future with Fedora Commons 4.x. We had a one day introduction to Islandora, a?day of workshops, and?a final day of community presentations on how Libraries (and companies that work with Libraries such as ours) are using Islandora.
Recently, there was a thread stated by a frustrated Drupal user on the Code4Lib (Code for Libraries) mailing list. It drew many thoughtful and occasionally passionate responses. This was mine:
debug_info
option in Sass that added a special media query to *.css files that pointed to the source *.scss file.This year's DrupalCon in Austin, Texas was another great one. It was exciting to visit Austin for the first time and to be at the largest DrupalCon yet.
