Heart of West Michigan Volunteer Center

By royerd on 11 Feb 2010 at 03:28 UTC

The new website for the Heart of West Michigan United Way Volunteer Center was announced this week. This site may be of particular interest to other volunteer centers around the country, particularly those that are saddled with proprietary data management software.

This site was using Truist Volunteer Solutions software as its main data management and content display platform. My project involved creating a Drupal site and integrating the Truist database system in an attempt to create a seamless user experience.

It would certainly have been possible to build a new matching system (volunteer opportunities with volunteers) from scratch in Drupal. However, time and money are limited in volunteer centers that are running as nonprofit organizations, and this solution was rather quick and low cost (my work on this was volunteer work).

What we finally produced is a Drupal site that clicks over to the Volunteer Solutions side, themed to look like the Drupal site. Volunteer Centers around the country that are using Volunteer Solutions should consider adopting a similar solution if they are not equipped to start over from scratch.

Julian Opie's new website - julianopie.com

By amcc on 9 Feb 2010 at 14:59 UTC

julianopie.com is a new site for the artist Julian Opie using Drupal 6. The site uses Flash throughout, incorporating complex animations. It showcases thousands of artworks and exhibitions.

The site was built with a Flash front end, using Services and AMFPHP to interact with the Drupal backend. SWFObject displays the flash, SWFAddress ensures that each page has a unique URL. The Flash front end incorporates a large amount of stop-frame animation and AS3 code to tie it all together. After Effects was used to prepare the animations for flash.
