Drupal CMS Academy - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Want to know more about the Drupal CMS Academy? Check out the Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) pages to get answers to the most common questions about the Academy.

The Drupal CMS Academy is a collaborative learning environment created by and for you! As an Intern in the Academy, you will receive help achieving your Drupal related performance goals as you help others in the community meet their Drupal web design objectives. Whether you are new to Drupal or you are a seasoned Drupal veteran (with the scrapes and bruises to prove it), your participation is welcomed and appreciated!  After you have read through the FAQ guide, please consider registering as an Academy Intern in the inaugural Class. Register here and begin your journey as an Academy Intern!

What is the Drupal CMS Academy?

The Drupal CMS Academy is a collaborative learning environment created by and for those who chose to participate in a largely self-guided exploration of the uses of Drupal. Participants in the Academy are referred to as “Interns”. There are no predetermined lessons or learning goals for Interns. Rather, Interns set their own Drupal performance objectives and work with the support of the community toward achieving their own performance goals. Click here to learn more about how to participate in the Academy.

How do I participate in the Academy?

Intern participation in an Academy session is structured around three phases. Interns are expected to complete all three phases of an Academy session over an approximately six week period. During this period, Interns are expected to engage in Academy activities (see below) with other community members while working independently toward their own performance goals. Click here if you are interested in registering as an Academy Intern.

The following pages highlight the objectives and key activities that comprise each of the three phases of an Academy session.

Phase 1: Set Your Drupal Performance Goals (Week 1)

Objective - Phase 1: The objective of Phase 1 is to establish and document your personal Drupal performance goals and objectives. Over the first week of the session, contemplate and document the following within the Intern Forum:

  • Your Current Performance: Where are you today with regard to your use and knowledge of Drupal? Have you ever installed a Drupal site?
  • Your Desired Performance: Where you want to be six weeks from now? Do you want to use Drupal to create a personal web site, a community space or an e-commerce site? Be specific as you document your goals as there are likely others out there who either share a common goal or have already tackled the problem.
  • Your Road Map: What actions will you commit to in order to take your performance from where it is today to your desired performance goal? Do you think you will need a little or a lot of help and support from the community? Consider this road map to be a contract with yourself, as well as the others in the community. Be specific in contemplating what it is going to take to get you to your performance goals. Consider how you plan to use the resources available to you, including the weekly live web casts, the discussion forum, your peers in the Academy, your own Drupal “sandbox” installation, as well as links to outside sources.

Key Activities - Phase 1: Interns are expected to complete the following activities to satisfy the objectives of this Phase:

  • Sandbox: Interns will set up a sandbox on either the WorldBridges network or on a site hosted elsewhere.
  • Forum: Interns will document their personal goals by completing the activity in the Intern Forum (see Intern Forum – Phase 1). Academy mentors will review the forum posts and provide feedback and guidance. Academy Interns are encouraged to review and reply to the forum posts of their peers.
  • Live Web Cast: Interns will be expected to either participate in the live weekly web sessions or review the session recordings.

Phase 2: Work toward your Drupal performance goals (Weeks 2 - 5)

Objective - Phase 2: The objectives of Phase 2 are to:

  1. Work toward achieving the individual performance goals laid out in Phase 1,
  2. Share experiences with others in the Academy, and
  3. Provide support to your peers.

Key Activities - Phase 2: Interns are expected to complete the following activities to satisfy the objectives of this Phase:     

Sandbox: Interns will work toward developing their web site based on their individual performance goals.

Forum Discussion: Interns will share their progress and seek help from peers and mentors within the Intern Forum established for Phase 2. They will also read and respond to the Intern Forum posts of other Academy Interns.

Live Web Casts: Interns are encouraged to participate in all live web sessions. However, as this may not be possible, interns are asked to review the session recordings. During the live sessions, Interns will be asked to:

  • Share: Provide the group with a brief summary of what has been learned during the week, the progress toward performance goals, and the areas where additional support and guidance is needed from the community.
  • Showcase: Showcase the web site at least once during the six weeks.
  • Facilitate: Facilitate a portion of the discussion in a live session at lease once during the six weeks to present something new to the group or to facilitate a discussion with a Drupal Power User.

Phase 3: Reflect Upon and Recap Your Achievements (Week 6)

Objective - Phase 3: The objectives of Phase 3 are to:

  1. Complete your project based on the performance goals set out in Phase 1, and
  2. Document your progress.

Key Activities - Phase 3: Interns are expected to complete the following activities to satisfy the objectives of this Phase:

  • Sandbox: Interns will complete their web sites to meet the performance goals set out in Phase 1.
  • Forum Discussion: Interns will share their final reflections with peers in the Intern Forum for Phase 3 and read and respond to the Forum posts of other Academy Interns.
  • Live Web Casts: Interns are encouraged to participate in a live web session this week to share their experiences and showcase their sites. 
  • Resources: Interns are encouraged to complete or contribute to a Drupal Survival Guide to document their Academy session. The Drupal Survival Guide should include:
    • A description of your project,
    • The Drupal modules and customization choices you made to complete your project, and
    • Hints, tips and suggestions for those who come after you.

Is there a start or end date to an Academy session?

The Academy runs on a rolling admission which means that there is no predetermined start or end date to an Academy session. Instead, Interns are encouraged to start and work independently (with the support of the community, of course) toward their own Drupal performance objectives during a six week Academy session. To learn more about participating in a Drupal CMS Academy session - click here.

What are the expectations of Academy Interns?

Before you sign up as an Intern within the Academy, consider carefully whether this type of learning environment is right for you. While the Academy offers vetted resources, peer support, and Drupal mentors who will provide you with guidance and feedback, the experience is largely self-directed and geared to self-starters who are motivated to set their own goals and work toward their performance objectives at their own pace.

Also, as we say around here, “It is hard to collaborate alone!” Therefore, the expectation is that Interns will assume a very active role in their own performance improvement, as well as in the support of others. This includes establishing personal performance goals, participating in Academy activities and supporting others in the community during live web cast sessions and in the Intern Forum. Check out the other Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages to get answers to the most common questions about the Academy and to learn more about what it means to be a part of the Academy.

What tools and resources are available to me as an Intern?

The following tools are resources are available to Interns of the Drupal CMS Academy.

Drupal Mentors

A Drupal mentor is assigned to each Intern at the start of an Academy session. The role of the mentor is to provide feedback and support to the Interns as they move through the three Phases of an Academy session. While mentors are the more experienced members of the community, they do not have all the answers. Rather, they act as guides for the Interns and play an active role in facilitating live web sessions and the moderating the Intern Forum discussion boards.

Their primary responsibilities are to:

  • Guide new Interns through the three Phases of the Academy,
  • Provide vision regarding the possibilities of using Drupal,
  • Encourage the Interns progress, and
  • Facilitate the sharing of experiences among all Interns.

Drupal Sandbox

Most Drupal users agree that the best way to improve performance when installing, administering or customizing a Drupal site is to do it! While many Interns already have a Drupal site up and running, most novice Drupal users do not. Unfortunately, one of the many obstacles preventing novice users from developing a Drupal based web site is a lack of expertise in setting up a web site with a web host. Therefore, the Academy offers access to a temporary site (or “sandbox”) on the WorldBridges network to provide a safe training ground for Interns to set up and maintain an initial Drupal installation. If you would like access to a temporary sandbox, please note this request when you register as an Intern.

Live Web Casts

Live web casts are a hallmark of the WorldBridges network and are used to facilitate ongoing Academy sessions. The weekly live web casts scheduled on the Events Calendar at the Academy allow Interns to see and hear about how to use Drupal features and to share their Drupal discoveries with others. The web cast tools are free, reliable and accessible to both Mac and Windows users. The web cast tools include:

Intern Forums

Intern Forums provide a way for registered Academy members to exchange ideas, post questions, ask for help from peers and mentors, and offer assistance to others. The Intern Forums are set up to coincide with the three main Phases of an Academy session.  The three Intern Forums for the Academy are linked below:

 

Drupal Resources

The following are links to Drupal related resources created both inside and outside of the Drupal CMS Academy.

CMS Academy Book of Drupal (Under Construction)

This book aims to provide new and experienced Drupal users with comprehensive assistance in using this powerful content management system.

There is already a tremendous amount of support information about Drupal at Drupal.org including their handbooks and forums. We will do our best not to duplicate what already exists there, but rather provide user-friendly, easy to digest orignial guides and links to resources available elsewhere.

This is a collaborative effort of all interns.  We are in the early stages of material development, so stay tuned for more to come soon.

10/1/06 12:53:09 Graham: hi everyone
10/1/06 12:54:46 JenM: http://www.cmsacademy.net/drupal/node/60
10/1/06 12:54:47 JasonR: Question, the URL that Drupal generates, it's not very descriptive..."http://www.cmsacademy.net/drupal/node/61". Is there a way for it to do more descriptive permalinks, something like..."http://www.cmsacademy.net/drupal/planning_sesssion_#2"
10/1/06 12:55:31 JasonR: Just curious if it's possible, don't need all the details yet, unless you want to go there.
10/1/06 12:56:21 JasonR: Is this what you mean by taxonomy?
10/1/06 12:57:19 JasonR: Hello Graham
10/1/06 12:57:33 Graham: Hi Jason
10/1/06 12:57:36 adaptives: Hi Graham
10/1/06 12:57:39 Graham: how are things?
10/1/06 12:58:00 JL: hello graham... standby for answers to ?'s
10/1/06 12:58:25 JasonR: Trying to fit the large amount of new info about CMS and Drupal into the little amount of brain-power I have today. :)
10/1/06 12:58:41 Graham: I know what you mean totally

10/1/06 13:00:14 adaptives: Yes I agree :-)
10/1/06 13:00:28 Graham: what's your favourite theme Jeff?
10/1/06 13:00:39 JasonR likes the treatment/theme at this one... http://home.eisf.org/node/1083
10/1/06 13:02:05 JasonR: Can do that with Wordpress
10/1/06 13:02:07 adaptives: Is .../node/60 permanant is can it change? Is it safe to link to?
10/1/06 13:02:41 JL: as long as you don't change the permalink you
10/1/06 13:02:42 JasonR: Needed .htaccess to impliment on my blog. Still not sure what that means
10/1/06 13:02:44 JL: ve chosen
10/1/06 13:02:55 Graham: I like the current edtechtalk theme
10/1/06 13:04:09 adaptives: I think .htaccess limits open access to resources within that directory from a regular HTTP GET/POST request... though I could be wrong.
10/1/06 13:05:05 JenM: http://www.cmsacademy.net/drupal/node/57
10/1/06 13:05:59 JasonR: That's the biggest barrier for my personal entry to Drupal. I have shared hosting on a server in CA. Not my own machine. Figured out the Wordpress install, easy-squeezy. But what to do with Drupal?
10/1/06 13:06:20 Graham: just logged in with the Nifty Corners theme - very cool, but when you go into the chat room, it resets to the previous theme
10/1/06 13:08:09 adaptives: Jason there is a very economical way to get your own server. Rimuhosting and probably other providers too offer VPS solutions. It is a simulated linux box with root access. I believe their plans start at $18/month...
10/1/06 13:11:16 JasonR: Using this host, at $6/month: http://laughingsquid.net/hosting.php#tiny . Plus can't beat the fact that the cephalopodcast.com is hosted on laughingsquid.net
10/1/06 13:13:07 JenM: http://bluehost.com/
10/1/06 13:16:24 JasonR: Not sure if they do drupal
10/1/06 13:17:08 JasonR: shared or dedicated?
10/1/06 13:17:44 JasonR: A hosting horror story... http://maccast.terraform.com/
10/1/06 13:18:10 JasonR: TY
10/1/06 13:18:13 JasonR: Great
10/1/06 13:18:23 JasonR claps
10/1/06 13:18:51 Graham: yes, thankyou
10/1/06 13:19:18 JasonR: Then BB patented it all ;)
10/1/06 13:19:20 JasonR: JK
10/1/06 13:20:13 Graham: lol
10/1/06 13:20:42 Graham: I'm sorry, but I have a class to prepare for tomorrow...and then the end of '24' to watch
10/1/06 13:20:57 Graham: and the Internet cafe closes too
10/1/06 13:21:15 Graham: thankyou Jen and Jeff
10/1/06 13:21:28 adaptives: Thanks all//

Drupal CMS Academy Live Web Cast - December 11, 2006

  • Length: 87:04 minutes (39.86 MB)
  • Format: Mono 44kHz 64Kbps (CBR)

This week at the Drupal CMS Academy live web cast, we discussed a lot and (unfortunately) didn't answer a lot of questions. The following highlights the key things we covered and notes the open questions:

  • Jeff: Creating and viewing new content types (open)
  • Dave: Demonstrated forum and post features on a few of his Drupal installs and introduced us to the Workflow and Localizer modules.
  • Eric: Discussed a few of the modules he has worked with lately, including Mailhandler, and discussed his desire to parse blogs and otherwise organize member content (open)
  • Jonathan: Posed a great question about how to limit RSS access (in other words, have a "secure" RSS feed). While you can address access control of "plays" and "downloads" within a given module, can a similar control be placed on the RSS feed? Is this thread within the Drupal.org a lead to an answer? (open)
  • Jen (squared): Would like to discuss next week ways to manage and track "conversations" using chats, forums, blog posts, pages, etc.

2006-12-04 21:25:53  Message  JL  Main Room   I am having a bad time of installing Gallery2 on my Drupal 5.0. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? I have the Gallery installed in my Modules but the Gallery2 has to be on the root section of the server, which I did. When I run the configuration, it tells me the path for Gallery2 is invalid. I have it set for autodetect but it "ain't detecting"!
