This two-day workshop will explore modules and configurations you can combine to build more customized systems using Drupal. You’ll create many examples of more advanced configurations and content displays using the Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views modules.
The Drupal experts at Exaltation of Larks and Chapter Three will guide you through the complex User Interfaces that Drupal provides for controlling and customizing the many different ways to present lists and tables of your site’s content.
What you will learn:
- Creating custom content types
- Building RSS feeds
- Allowing viewers to filter results
- Building interactive tables
- Displaying content in a grid
- Adding a date field to your content, and sorting by date
- Creating iCAL feeds and other date displays
- Using views arguments to dynamically filter your results based on the URL
- How other modules integrate with Views
Site you will build: http://dsb.training.chapterthree.com

Thank you! The meetups in and
Thank you! The meetups in and around Los Angeles are a great source of free learning to our community, but these all-day trainings are in a classroom environment where our trainees are provided a rock solid curriculum (with a printed booklet that people can take home), a website hosted on our servers, and a lot of personal attention. Our trainings are all 400ドル a day.
Yes! That would be great. We'll be raffling off a free seat to this training at an upcoming meetup. As an LA Drupal organizer and sponsor liaison, I always ask that our raffle prize winners report back, whether it's a review of a book they won or a talkback at their next meetup about what they learned at a training they went to.
