Hi there

I am trying to develop a site very similar to http://www.terminus1525.ca/ and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some guidance regarding how they achieved what they have.

I'm wondering whether their studios are run on a module available from here or if they coded the php themselves to enable the studios as they have done. I particularly like their browse art option and the links to the artist's studios on the home page.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards
Amanda

At least as to the drupal module development bits. Yes, the studio module is a custom module for terminus1525... no the code has not been released. However, the studio stuff is really just a fancy wrapper for the user view page. The reason for not using user/xx is largely legacy. The site has been around since Drupal 4.1 or so... when the user view and theming options was much less flexible. Chances are good that the same effect can now be acheived with theming the user profile page.

Feel free to contact me if you have more specific questions.

Yeah, that's easy now thanks to FAPI... you just need some CCK, Views and Actions.

walkah - can you tell me how the user profile pages are done? are profiles added as nodes?
also, is panel module responsible for dividing the user page into areas?
and one more thing - how to manage to have the main user page be /view/23493 (ex. for uid=23493)
and then the bio part to be /about/23493 for that same user?

i'm new to drupal so any hints are welcome!
cheers and thanks!

btw - terminus1525 is an awesome looking website...
