This is step one for some of us to drop questions and answers, helpful links, and resources from the CMS academy in one place as we go through learning how to work Drupal from start to finish. (OK..so one is never done!)

Cathy E and I are working on some small issues so we thought we would start a new forum to get answers and help. Please jump in and add anything you want to this forum.

If anyone makes comments to this post, please add tags that are applicable to the topic. Thanks ~Lee

Several technology bumps in the road during this "All in the Family" web cast, but what fun it was! We laughed, we cried when we lost the stream, we Yugmad! We also fixed the Worldbridges.net Drupal installation (looks like Jeff forgot to turn off the audio module before he upgraded it), talked about a few interesting modules (linked here) and began helping out Drupal Newbie Barb with her Matodor site. Can't wait to see her progress next week!

For those who couldn't make the live session this week, please check out the recording. We had one of our largest groups, so listen to hear about many great new Drupal discoveries! Also, check out the links to several great modules mentioned in the text chat.

This week at the Drupal CMS Academy live web cast, we shared links to our working sites and discussed the following

One way to tell if a module is ready to install  on a 5.x version of Drupal is to check out this page

http://drupal.org/node/82257

Another is to see if there is a .info file in the latest distribution - all modules that are ported to 5.x will have one.

Talking about our last week of Drupaling.  Modules discussed include Station, Backup, BookImport, BlockBar, Voting API, Digg This, & Captcha.

This week, we kicked around ideas for the Academy's web site interface. The Academy (as well as much of Worldbridges) runs on a Drupal installation, so we have a lot of options to create, layout and present content on the site.  Whether you know a little or a lot about Drupal, we look forward to hearing your ideas about ways to enhance the Drupal CMS Academy's navigation, content creation options and more!
