IT Proforum, Fall 2021 The Web Implementation Guidelines Group has been working on several efforts to make building websites on campus easier for everyone. Drupal is a popular CMS on campus and now it’s easier to use than ever. Come learn how to use this easy to deploy, campus-branded Drupal solution and what features it brings. Also, learn how you can become a part of this cross-college collaboration and what we are doing to create and maintain this tool. slides
Illinois Drupal Framework: Coming Together to Create Powerful Websites
IT Proforum, Fall 2020 The colleges of ACES and LAS have been using Drupal to power our websites for many years. We’ve pooled our experience to create a system that can be deployed to any hosting solution (including campus cPanel), supports the new campus brand standards out of the box, and is built with customization and expansion in mind. Find out what it can do, how you can begin taking advantage of it, and how to become a part of the community that will expand its functionality into the future. video / slides
