Stanford Drupal Camp - Stanford Specific

Drupal and CAP

techsoldaten — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:40:35 +0000

Community Academic Profiles (CAP) is a system developed by Stanford as a way of consolidating faculty information into a single location. Beyond basic personal profiles, the system also collects information about publications, research and academic interests, presenting a rich and comprehensive view of the academic community and their pursuits.

In early 2014, a Drupal module was released for integrating with CAP. This module offers schools at Stanford a robust and efficient way to present content about faculty in their websites, and also to keep that information up-to-date using CAP's RESTful API. Beyond simple imports of single faculty members, the module is capable of maintaining information about an entire school, and also integrates with workgroups and SUNet IDs to provide meaningful collections of content.

This session focuses on the practical use of the CAP module. Participants will learn how to work with faculty profiles, and how to carry out the following advanced topics:

How to select profiles for import
How profiles are kept in sync over time
How to control the appearance of profiles using drag-and-drop tools in Drupal's administrative interface
How to create faculty listings
How to create lists of publications and research

This session will be conducted by Michael Haggerty, one of the lead developers of the CAP module for Drupal.

"Accessibilizing" Drupal

John Bickar — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 13:51:06 +0000

Want to make sure your Drupal site is accessible to everyone? Learn to maximize the accessibility features built into Drupal - and the additional features built into Open Framework and Stanford Sites - and assure those features stay intact when you make changes. See the value of testing keyboard navigation and focus, adding alternative text to images, and assuring that assistive technology presents page content in the order you expect.

Stanford+Connects: Building Custom User Experience on a Solid Drupal Platform

sreynen — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:33:56 +0000

Last year, the Stanford Alumni Association began a series of events to connect Stanford Alumni around the world with a rich and engaging program, including informal Q&A sessions with President Hennessy, micro-lectures, collaborative seminars, and an extensive interactive component. The website for this series of events began with the most basic needs of event registration, and evolved over time into a highly customized experience that mirrors these unique events.

The process of planning, designing, and building the Stanford+Connects site is an excellent demonstration of Drupal's capabilities, both in providing a solid base of functionality and as a framework for extensive customization. We will walk through this process and highlight how Drupal allowed it to succeed at each point along the way, from the earliest planning to the ongoing iterations.
