If you think that case study is outdated and should not be migrated, please leave a comment here.

Comments

#1

There is also a listing of a few case studies in the "Who Else Uses Drupal?" section. It is broken out by category (current examples are "Magazines" and "Newspapers") so there should probably be some taxonomy for the case studies.

Can we implement this using just a taxonomy term?

Keeping these as done right now until we have a very good reason to change.

Status:closed (works as designed)» active

I'm reopening this issue, as I think we should still consider moving case studies. Currently the Case Study landing page is just a top level book page without a clear process for adding or removing sites (see #997456: Process for adding sites to http://drupal.org/cases), and it really isn't very useful. If we had case studies as their own content type we could create fields for specific aspects of the case studies (and/or taxonomies), and make this section into a Solr enabled (and actually useful) marketing/discovery/learning tool.

#9

Issue tags:+case studies

I'm going to tag the items related to the redesign of the "Case Studies" section, similarly to what we're doing for the Marketplace section...

UNPUBLISHED Working on ioby.org migration - completed at http://drupal.org/node/1496692
Comments: There's some HTML that's not properly rendering in the "Describe the Project" field, but lisarex already knows. Also, bless whomever wrote the site up in the first place. Spot on with content.

UNPUBLISHED Working on iCitizenForum case study migration. - completed at http://drupal.org/node/1497006
Comments: HTML still showing, but in progress. Write-up could stand to maybe lose a section or two, but gives a currently complete picture of the site.

Dahon Folding Bicycles
Amazing case study that details all facets pertaining to what made up the site

Davis Applied Technology College Drupal Case Study
Nice case study detailing the process that lead to he selection of this site for use.

#15

Case studies that do meet criteria IMHO from review of list by alphabet -

Haydock-park.co.uk - Drupal powered website for a leading UK racecourse. - http://drupal.org/node/981602
HowToDoThings.com - Everyday experts solving people's problems - http://drupal.org/node/193566
Information.dk - Another Drupal Newspaper Site - http://drupal.org/information.dk

#16

Ones that I'll migrate:

http://drupal.org/node/176482 California Institute of the Arts (CalArts)
http://drupal.org/node/1220122 Chunk Fitness: Fitness for Everyone with Drupal
http://drupal.org/node/1265948 Cooper University Hospital Choose Drupal for Flexibility to Integrate and Manage Content Across Platforms

#19

If you have the site maintainer role on Drupal.org, you can make these redirects. tvn - please go ahead and request that in another webmasters issue.

#20

I fixed all already migrated studies, now we need to review/migrate what's left:
46 nodes under http://drupal.org/success-stories
and 2 nodes under http://drupal.org/node/233897

#21

There are still a lot of case studies to migrate and most of the time they need to be updated/adjusted for the new content type, which is best done by their authors. I don't want to postpone wide announcement of new case-studies section till we migrate all of them. And also people keep adding new pages to old /cases section.

How about we do the following:
1. move old case study book pages to archive book
2. contact all node authors informing them that we have new case study section and old case studies will be unpublished in 1 month and that they are welcome to migrate their case studies. ask them to leave a comment here when they do, so we could unpublish the old one.

In a month we'll take a look at how many were migrated and decide what to do with the rest. Meanwhile we could move forward with announcing new section and seek new case studies.

#22

+1 to tvn's suggestion in #21, with the agreement that we'll have the case studies section implemented with improved layout/design.

#23

I moved what's left of case studies to archive. Will start contacting authors as soon as someone will review case studies guidelines #1564766: Create case study guidelines.

#24

http://drupal.org/node/288658 to http://drupal.org/node/1497168

This one needs additional work; the site in question has had both the front-end and the backend redone a couple of times since the case study was written and the copy is outdated. I think this case study is well-written and should be kept in the list, but it should have a note at the beginning explaining that this is the story of the site's 2008 rebuild and that there have been a lot of changes made to it since. We should also go back to the 2008 version of the screenshot, as the version currently there was designed for a newer version of the site.

This would be a good candidate for a "classic" or "hall of fame" category; regardless, the screenshot should be reverted to the 2008 version. I can't seem to find the original node; any pointers?

#25

Started contacting authors of case studies.
Under http://drupal.org/node/233897 2 nodes left.
Contacted:
http://drupal.org/node/1524316 - migrated
http://drupal.org/node/305725

#27

Did not contact http://drupal.org/node/193566 and http://drupal.org/information.dk since annie stone is working on migration of these 2 (http://drupal.org/node/1429412#comment-6055534)

Not sure what to do with this one http://drupal.org/node/1230668 - it's a case study of a module, not a website.

#28

Will finish this later because of "You cannot contact more than 10 users per hour. Please try again later." Sigh.

#29

Old case Study : http://drupal.org/node/1524316

Plz unpublish the old one and set a redirect to the new one. - DONE

#30

you can go ahead and delete http://drupal.org/node/283954 ; i'm not going to re-write a D5-specific case study from 2008.
thanks for the cleanup :)

#32

Hello. I'd like other members of my company staff (DPCI) to have access to edit the migrated case studies. How do i go about getting other members of my team access to edit?

#33

saitanay, mvc, tgardner thank you for commenting here, redirects set.

tgardner, only author of the node can edit it. We can switch author for someone else if you like but it still will be only 1 account.

#35

I migrated mine, it's a shame to lose the comments.

http://drupal.org/node/366964 -> http://drupal.org/node/1621818

Redirects for #34 and #35 set. Old case studies unpublished.

(1) This is a comprehensive case study that may qualify for Featured. The subject of the website (Haydock Park race course) is well-known in UK. The case study has some technical value, though a fair bit of it focuses on the website's Flash content.

(2) This is an outstanding and comprehensive case study that deserves a spot in the Featured showcase. There's a second page on Drupal docs http://drupal.org/node/1442484 which acts as an appendix and lists (with details) all the site's content types, taxonomy, contrib, custom and sandbox modules. Adding all this to the new case study seems a bit much, but I'd be happy to do it - or perhaps just the module info could be integrated. The module list (via widget) does need additional content.

There are lots of inline images in tables, which I copied across. They look fine and hopefully they don't break any coding 'rules'.

I think we should try to engage the help of the author/developer with this one. I had to break up the text to fit the new sections and I'd feel better if I knew he was happy with the new layout and structure.

#45

Awesome, Tezza! I set redirects for all except MSKCC.org one, please do whatever is needed to make it ready for the Featured section and tell me when I can deleted old case study and set redirect to the new one. Thanks!

Re: "15. http://drupal.org/node/267393 - The text says this well-crafted site is D5 - outdated? Tezza" this case study is a forum post, so it was one of the 2 I was going to remove from the list "to be migrated" yesterday. Removed "17. http://drupal.org/node/131592" by mistake instead of this one. Fixed now.

"18. http://drupal.org/node/1188342 - The site was last updated July 2011 and is somewhat sparse with an empty twitter feed and broken download links - Review for suitability? Tezza" agree, let's move it to outdated ones.

#46

Re: MSKCC.org, described in #44 :-

Old: http://drupal.org/node/1442472 & http://drupal.org/node/1442484
New: http://drupal.org/node/1726750

I've now copied everything from the above two pages, including the extensive listings of 'content-types' and 'vocabularies' from the appendix page. I think this is a little too much for the case study, but better to move it than lose it. That conversation can now be had in the Promotion Request issue: https://drupal.org/node/1727484

17. http://drupal.org/node/131592 - This is a D5 case study

#47
