Writing Better CSS for Drupal

Maarten Verbaarschot 14 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Making style sheets easier to maintain for yourself and others, by fully understanding and leveraging Drupal’s theming system, and thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

Making style sheets easier to maintain for yourself and others, by fully understanding and leveraging Drupal’s theming system, and thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

We’ve all seen them; style sheets so large and confusing that we ended up adding new styles at the bottom of the file we happened to have open in our editor, instead of looking for a proper location. It’s unacceptable, especially when working together with multiple themers. In this session we’ll take a look at common pitfalls, ways to prevent these situations and keep our styles more sustainable.

Grown up in the ambivalent environment of catholicism and atheism. Thereby learned very early to question, to evaluate, to build a mind on it’s own, to make decisions and so to shape, form, design. Travelled a lot, but never been to Ouagadougou before. As a musician always loved more to compose own songs, than to cover others. And since about 15 years a designer out of passion.

Type:  Session in official program

Views 3 brings Views to a new level and open's it up for a bunch of new usecases.

This session will be about the changes to views in the views 3.x development cycle.
Beside the big improvement of pluggable query backends(query from flickr etc.) views supports
a bunch of more features of sql and has some more internal features.

A short list of changes

  • Pluggable query backend
  • AND/OR support
  • GROUPBY support
  • better export code
  • UI stuff
  • exposed forms
  • pluggable pagers
  • semantic support
  • really translation support
  • too many more to write them down

Architecting a Drupal Site: From Composition to Completion

Jon Skulski 13 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

The talk will be a general overview of how to digest a design composition into a Drupal development roadmap. We'll break down a comp into content types, views and (of course) panels. I'll discuss some strategies to finding quality modules and how to make the decision to write your own code.

One of the first challenges of building a Drupal site is generating a complete guide to development.

Having planned and built many sites in the last few years, I'd like to extend my experience and give some perspective on how Chapter Three architects their sites.

"What data do we want to capture?"
"How are we going to display it?"
"Are there already modules do we can leverage?"
"When do we write custom code?"

These are all questions we can ask to write a roadmap that will compile that design into a working, sustainable website.
