Screencast: Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal

Submitted by Leo Klein on Tue, 2/19/08 (2:36pm)

-- Link to Full Version (800x600) here... --

In anticipation of my talk 'Drupal in Libraries' that I'll be giving to the Metropolitan Library System on Fri., 2/29 (1:30p-4:30p), I'm releasing the screencast "Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal".

The talk will be about Drupal in the context of Open Source Software and Content Management Systems as well of course as its application in a library environment. (more info and rsvp...)

The screencast goes over the points I'll be making in the second part of my talk.

Have a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks Sıcacık!

It was a job well worth doing!

Awesome tutorial. Just what I needed to know!

Leo, I would like to point out that you are pronouncing Drupal wrong. You can go to http://drupal.org/node/130207 to check what I am saying. It is not drew-paul, it is drew-pull or droople. Sorry, I just find it REALLY annoying when someone pronounces words and names wrong.

Guilty as charged. In my defense, although I had been working on 'Drupple' since the end of 2004, I had never met another human being face-to-face who actually pronounced the thing one way or the other. So the German in me -- or maybe the French -- thought to stress the final syllable.

The good news is, I plan on updating the video for D7 and part of the motivation is to remove this stain from my reputation.

This is a very helpful video for thinking about taxonomy and views, even for Views2, gets you going in the right direction. I did not mind the pronunciation at all, actually I found it quite refreshing!

Thanks Leo!

You're welcome. As I said before, I really have to reserve some quality time to update that thing.

Leo:
I have gone through several tutorials and videos online and believe me your "creating a library database page" video was the best show-by-example tutorial on cck, views and taxonomy even now in D6 era. Best!

and so was your response, Leo.

Also, great video.

whats in an accent or pronunciation as long as the message is conveyed..
Great video Leo....
Jeff..Grow up !!!

Leo;

Unfortunately it seems that your screencast is no longer available. Do you have a different link or another copy. I'd love to go over the tutorial again on how to setup the library database in Drupal. Thx.

Hi Ludwig,

Darn! It must be somewhere. It looks like the server I originally had it on bit the dust.

I'll have a look. I must have a copy somewhere.
