After a highly successful Drupal deployment for the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) national website, the ASMP decided to again use Drupal for their next project: Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow, or dpBestflow for short. DP Bestflow is a Library of Congress-funded initiative to provide an all-encompassing resource for digital photography best practices.
I'm considering using drupal for the first time on a website that will be video heavy. i have just seen the Mattel videos showcase and their Video page is fantatstic.
I was wondering if anyone knows how they achieved this look? Unfortunately there are no details in the Showcase. Has it be done with a Drupal module or have they done it themselves?
Our first site created in Drupal is http://butrans.co.uk and is intended for a UK audience.
I've found creating a site in Drupal so much easier than my alternative at work, SharePoint.
I would say that one of the things that "stuck out" was the incredibly small amount of code I had to write; there are two custom modules, one to handle the validation of the batch number to check if patients are really patients and another that is a bit of a cribbing exercise from the Pirate Filter to look out for brandnames in text and make sure they are emboldened (our house style). In all, about a dozen or so lines.
The template is based on Zen which helped a lot. The Views module and various plugins have been used to get the effects I wanted and I've found it to be very flexible.
Of course, I'm learning all the time and the things I would do differently are...
Make only one content type and use taxonomy more to divide content between public, patients and professionals;
Use many, many more pictures - I guess if we had the time we would reduce the "lists" around everywhere and use picture libraries to make navigation a little more exciting;
Learn more about the XML Sitemap module and how to use it better.
