Embedding a slideshow from a Smugmug gallery is fairly simple but requires a couple of steps and there are some easy places to make mistakes.

Start by creating a page or announcement to hold the embedded slideshow, this can be essentially any type of Drupal page, in a group, outside a group, etc. Then setup the page with the normal title, tags, text, etc. before moving on to the slideshow embedding piece.

In the "Body" section of the page you're going to insert the following code:

My friend Nate (blog, porfolio) expressed interest to me in creating a design for the WAFC site, if necessary. He used to work with me at Matrix, but now works at PBS.

This section of the design document contains some suggested wireframes for the home page. Wireframes are visual guides that are used in web design to suggest the layout of a website and relationships between its pages. A webpage wireframe is a illustration of the fundamental elements. Wireframes provide a visual reference upon which to structure each page help maintain design consistency throughout the site. This is an important part of the initial development stage because it creates user expectations and helps to develop an awareness of and familiarity with the site. Please comment on these.

This is a help request going out the group. Any assistance would be appreciated.

We need to figure out a way to take a batch of users, such as all the captains for a season, and change their roles on the site. For example, we currently need to take the list of captains for rec and clique leagues and promote them to the Captain role.

The role attribute for a user is contained in a database field, `wafcadm1_drupaltest`.`user_roles`. I believe we need to create a script to parse the list of usernames and execute and UPDATE on the role table for each user ID.

In order to attract people to use the website it should be cooler than all the other league websites out there. This section of the Design Document compares the wafc.org website with the functionality of related websites. By making this comparison we know what else is out there on the market and what our competitors are offering. Please also see www.wafc.org/website-admins/survey-ultimate-websites

In order to have a site that your community is happy with and is comfortable using, you must design with them in mind. This section of the design document contains a collection of “fictional” characters that will use the WAFC website. They all have different backgrounds and different reasons visiting the website. These characters should reflect the audience that the WAFC.org site is appealing too. Feel free to come up with some more.

The www.wafc.org website runs on Drupal, www.drupal.org. Drupal is a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and is commonly run on a Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) stack, which is the configuration we're using.

Drupal provides access to data stored in the MySQL database using queries executed by PHP code.

This book documents the wafc.org website. Website admins and contributors should refer to these pages for information on how and why the site was put together along certain guidelines; how to make changes; etc. Contributions to this manual are welcome, use the Create Book Page link on the left to add a page on a new topic.
