This talk was given on January 24, 2010 by Squiggy Rubio and Jennifer Lea Lampton from Chapter Three. It's called Panels Everywhere Case Study. Here are my notes:

Panels Everywhere Walkthrough

The Panels Everywhere theme is pretty different from a regular theme, as you might imagine. A basic template just contains a header, $content, and $closure.

It moves all this markup into a layout plugin, which is basically just what you would put in a page layout template.

These are my notes from Earl Miles' talk on January 24, 2010 at Design4Drupal at the Stanford Law School. The talk was titled Designing with Drupal. It started out with Earl saying:

This is an observation of how it's difficult for new designers to design for Drupal.

This talk was given on January 23, 2010 by Jon Skulski at Stanford University. I've written up my notes below. Enjoy!

This talk is about how can designers can focus on making a website easy to build. What reasonable elements can I use on my site to make it easy to launch. I work as a developer in Chapter Three in San Francisco, a design and development firm.

As a Drupal Architect, I'm an interface between designers and development of the site.

This is a talk moderated by Dmitri Gaskin, a 14 year old, freshman in high school. He's been doing Drupal for 4 years.

This is a Q&A session, and so go ahead and ask your questions, and either I or somebody else in the room should hopefully answer them.

Q: Apostrophes. Apparently automatic title generation interferes with apostrophes in title names. If I add an apostrophe, it doesn't appear in the database; the custom content will appear in the DB.

John Bickar from the Cubberley Education Library at Stanford University gave a talk called Highlighting Library Collections. Here are my notes:

One of the first things I was tasked to do was to convert our library's static HTML site to Drupal.

Working With a Library Database

Nica Lorber of Chapter Three just gave a great talk at Design4Drupal Stanford called Drupal Specific Design: A Template Approach. Here are my notes!

Our general process is do a wireframe, then turn it into a Drupal theme. A lot of times you'll miss little details, like the ugly admin tabs you see on a page when you're logged in.

But it looks like a Drupal site!

The Design 4 Drupal Stanford un-conference is this weekend, January 23-24 at the Open Source Lab of Stanford University. Since I live in Palo Alto, I really have no excuse not to go!

Take a quick look at the schedule of sessions. These are the ones I'm most interested in:
