WHY HAVE A CHECKLIST?

• Plans change between design & launch
• Site building is an iterative process, so things
change and get inconsistent
• Avoid last minute ﬁxes the week after launch,
or when the site admin starts adding content
• Your checklist can serve as documentation

Manage Display: Is everything is the correct order?

Manage Fields: Is everything is the correct order?

Migrate for Site Builders from MidCamp 2016Suzanne Dergacheva

If you're a Drupal site builder, you've probably heard about how you can migrate your content into Drupal using the Migrate module. But you might have assumed that migrating content is the 'developer's job': a long and arduous task best avoided. As site builders, we're often responsible for setting up the information architecture of a Drupal site, and testing that the content provided fits into this architecture. We start most Drupal projects by looking at content: What content needs to be displayed on the website? How does it need to be organized? What's the content strategy? Site builders often become content experts, and are in a great position to inform the migration process. By learning about the migration process, we can make better site building decisions. This session will provide an introduction to Drupal's Migrate module for site builders. No experience developing modules required. We'll look at how to get your content into Drupal, from another Drupal site or from an external CSV file. We'll also see how to line up your migration with Drupal’s configuration components.

Drupal - Blocks vs Context vs PanelsDavid Burns

This document provides an overview and comparison of different page building tools in Drupal: blocks, Context module, and Panels module. Blocks allow placing content into regions defined by a theme, while Context and Panels provide more powerful and flexible options. Context allows managing conditions and reactions for site portions, and Panels provides a drag-and-drop page builder that places content visually into layouts. Both tools are more powerful than blocks, with Panels generally being more suitable for complex or variant page layouts and Context better for developer-driven or region-based sites.

Features: A better way to package stuff in DrupalRob Knight

Features is a Drupal module that enables configuration from the database, like content types, views, and contexts, to be packaged into modules called "Features". Features consist of generated code that can be version controlled and deployed between environments. Features allow changes to be managed like code instead of only in the database. When a Feature is enabled, all its dependencies are installed as well. If the Feature is later changed, it becomes overridden and the developer must choose whether to revert or update the code.

Multilingual Content: Presentation from DrupalCamp Montreal 2012Suzanne Dergacheva

Multilingual Drupal allows sites to support multiple languages. Content can be translated at the node or field level. Node-level translation creates a new node for each language, while field-level translation stores translations as fields on a single entity. Other translatable entity types include users, taxonomy terms, and comments. Field-level translation is generally preferred as it provides a better data model and allows content to have language-independent properties.

Using Core Themes in Drupal 8Suzanne Dergacheva

In Drupal 7, I used contrib base themes like Bootstrap, Omega, or Zen as a starting point for most of the themes I created. Primarily, themers use base themes to improve accessibility, get more semantic markup, make responsive websites, and save time. The Drupal 8 theme system provides more accessible, semantic markup in core and is responsive out-of-the-box. It's the perfect time to try theming without a contrib base theme. If you're deciding how to structure your first Drupal 8 theme and which base theme to use, this is the talk for you. The talk will include: Overview of Drupal 8 core themes Tips for building a responsive theme from scratch Adding a grid system Responsive navigation Structuring CSS or SASS

Multilingual Site Building with Drupal 7 at Drupal Camp NYC 10Suzanne Dergacheva

Multilingual site building with Drupal can be challenging. Depending on the type of site you’re building, the list of modules you’ll need and the configuration settings you’ll choose will vary greatly. Even a single project could include more than one method for translating menus, taxonomy terms, and content. Before you get started, you need to consider your audience, what type of content you have, and how all the pieces of your website will be translated.

Meilleures pratiques pour construire un site web DrupalSuzanne Dergacheva

Avant de lancer un site web Drupal, comment est-ce que vous vérifiez que tout est en ordre et prêt à lancer? Si quelqu'un d'autre va maintenir le site web, comment est-ce que vous assurez que le site peut être facilement maintenu? Bien que Drupal fournisse beaucoup de fonctionnalités "out of the box", pour construire un site web simple, il faut beaucoup de configuration, installation de modules, et beaucoup de cases à cocher. Dans cette présentation, je vais vous présenter un "check-list" de meilleures pratiques pour la construction d'un site web Drupal, incluant : * une liste de configurations par défaut qui doit être mise à jour * modules et configurations essentielles pour rendre le travail des administrateurs plus facile * les choses qui doivent être mises à jour avant de lancer le site web Si vous êtes intégrateur, administrateur ou gestionnaire de projet, cette présentation va vous aider à éviter les problèmes après le lancement de votre site web et assurer que vous suivez les meilleures pratiques.

So you want to build a simple Drupal website? Maybe it's a corporate website for a small organization or a small university department. Once you get started, you might realize that your website is not so simple after all.

How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results. News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
