Update

Mon, 03/08/2010 - 15:42
About the Library is done except for Art Exhibits, which I plan to do this month. Now I'm working on Find a Good Book, which is going to be fairly time and labor intensive. I hope to get it done by the end of the month.

Views Rotator

Fri, 02/19/2010 - 23:04
I just changed the home page slideshow on new.ppld.org from a Views Slideshow (which wouldn't link to nodes) to Views Rotator. I'm very happy with the result!

There's an excellent Views Rotator tutorial available here

Presentation

Thu, 02/18/2010 - 20:43
I gave a presentation of new.ppld.org to our staff on Monday. It went well. Everyone seemed okay with the new product, but I guess I won't really know for sure until they start using it.

Updates updates updates

I swear, I'm gone for 8 weeks and there are a ton of updates to be done on new.ppld.org. Of course I did them and now Views Slideshow doesn't work again and I'm not sure why. I hate that module! We need a different slideshow solution...

2/18/10 Update: I added a carriage return to beginning of the code in the Views Slideshow block and it started working again. Go figure...

Diff and Search Files Modules

Sun, 01/10/2010 - 04:16
I just installed the Diff module so I can view the difference between revisions on new.ppld.org. Handy little module, there!

I also installed Search Files module, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get it to work. It takes a day to index, so I'll check back...

Views Carousel Fun

Tue, 11/17/2009 - 17:52
I ran all these Drupal updates a few days ago and as a result my book carousel started displaying incorrectly. Apparently our custom theme needs to be manually added into the viewscarousel.module script in the actual Views Carousel directory. This means each time we upgrade Views Carousel, that script gets written over and we have to add it again.

Here's the documentation for future reference:
