Use of the Announcements view on the Drupal IT site is fairly straight forward. Any logged in user can add an event, and it will appear on in a formatted table on the front page of the site.
Location
- The Announcements view is located on the front page of the ERI IT Drupal site: http://it.eri.ucsb.edu/
Structure/Advanced
Event
- The Announcements view displays content of type = "Announcement"
- The fields within each "Announcement" are Title, Body, and Date
- The date must be a single day event, but the user may select a specific time for sorting or informational purposes
- The fields within each "Announcement" are Title, Body, and Date
- The content is displayed in a table within a block view titled "Announcements"
- The block appears in the content region below "Main Content"
- The "Date" and "Body" fields are displayed within the table
Outage
- Currently, there isn't an easy tool for formatting an "Outage" in the table
- Ultimately, we need a php script or module that will generate html to format an "Outage Event"
- Possible solutions:
- Ultimately, we need a php script or module that will generate html to format an "Outage Event"
- We might be able to do a Webform that formats text and sends the resulting HTML code to user for input into "Event" field.
- Make a module that intercepts Content Addition, and formats various fields into one formatted "Body"
- Inserts it into database as a normal "Event"
