Drupal 6: Online Presentation of Data

Drupal's built-in data presentation tools offer several ways for web designers to clearly and attractively package their data. In over six hours of video training, Tom Geller explains how Drupal handles data so users can set up intelligent structures and implement them with Drupal's Content Construction Kit. Tom also shows how a data-driven web site can improve its interactivity by using geographic data to connect real-world addresses to maps. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:

• Importing and manipulating data in Drupal
• Presenting date-formatted information in calendars
• Understanding Drupal's data-query interface, "Views"
• Improving view appearances with grid, list, and table formatting
• Importing, exporting, and cloning views
• Extending views with arguments and relationships
