There's just one problem -- you've got a website to build, and you don't know where to begin.
Should you start putting in content? Maybe start with some modules -- hmm, which ones? Or, should you start tweaking the theme? How are you going to get the news page to work, anyway? Or events? Or downloads? Do you need taxonomy for that? Yikes!
A starting point for new Ubercart users and a how-to overview of specific feature use cases.
Will cover installation, basic configuration, and a generalized look at common use cases using the current stable release: Ubercart 2.0 for Drupal 6. Will include a step by step walk-through of creating a product. Will cover briefly some of the versatility and potential of Ubercart.
Drupal 6 is a powerful system that has a steep learning curve for those new to it. The included theme system is no exception to this. As with any complex system, the key to using it effectively is to understand it. The purpose of this session is to increase your understanding to get you on your way towards creating a look all your own.
This session will orient people on how to get started with Drupal. We'll address installation using the Acquia Drupal Stack installers, then dive into some fundamentals such as:
- how does Drupal work (at a very high level)
- how do you begin to build a site. Adding pages, inserting navigation
- how do create roles and grant privileges
- how do you extend Drupal's features (finding and installing modules)
- how do you create ad's or specific call outs on your site
- how can you organize information on a page - like show a list of events
- how do you theme a drupal site.
