(not so) Silly Tricks for Content Managers

Speaker(s):

This session will focus on tips and tricks for building great Drupal sites that your Content Managers will love. Content Managers will use your site everyday, so learn to build sites that give them the flexibility and power they need.

The session will cover the following modules: Nodequeue, Taxonomy Menu, Nodes in Block, WYSIWYG (and various other editor modules), and Override Node Options.

This will be a hands-on practical session with live demos. I will be walking through the creation of a real web site...the site that I now start with for most of my own clients.

This combination of modules allows the Content Manager to easily move content between pages, add new pages/tabs to the site, move blocks around, all with a simple interface that protects them from messing up the site.

Time permitting I will cover some actual CODE that developers can use to customize this interface even more. But most of the session will focus on site building and not low-level code.

I placed this in the Business track because it's less about low-level Development and more about how to build a site for Business users who care more about manipulating the content of their site quickly and easily.
