DrupalCamp : Views

Drupal is modular. A basic Drupal site is quite capable. Modules extend basic Drupal sites with optional functionality. Enabling views makes Drupal sites exciting!

At first blush, views can intimidate. Fear of views is common; even Drupal architects must develop their love for views … and there's so much to love!

A recent fascination with schedules led me to the Drupal calendar module. In principle, using the module is simple. Suddenly, however, I found myself immersed in the world of Views and revisiting the Content Construction Kit (CCK).

I hear complaints that HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is too hard for some who would contribute. Well … don't let unfamiliarity with HTML stop you now. The TinyMCE interface is available to qualified members.

One of our more intimate operations is Lyceum URTH. Lyceum is our educational facility, where urthling gather and develop best common practice for our avocations. Some of these gatherings are private — most are public.

Most Lyceum gatherings result from the need of an urthling to dispatch responsibility. URTH understands this: often, the expressed need of one represents a need of many. The mission of My^DLLURTH, "empower every Wyrld without prejudice", is well served in Lyceum.
