New Podcast

Posted Tuesday, January 31 at 3:28 pm
  Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t on drupal.org) and Alan Palazzolo (zzolo on drupal.org) join Mike Anello to talk about their new book from O’Reilly Media, Mapping with Drupal. Mike’s usual co-hosts, Andrew and Ryan, were both unable to participate in the podcast, leaving Thomas and Alan subject to Mike’s long-winded (but extremely interesting by some accounts) questions.

Testimonial

On March 11th I attended the first DrupalEasy Workshop in Orlando, Florida. I'm an experienced web developer who has recently picked up Drupal as a tool for helping to build high quality content-driven websites. Mike and Ryan were excellent teachers - they gave a thorough overview of a complex topic in a short space of time, and provided plenty of resources for us to continue learning. The workshop is essential for anyone who has previously configured a basic Drupal site and wishes to take their skills to an advanced level. I would not hesitate to recommend DrupalEasy.com training and hope to attend more workshops in the future.

Method of Customizing a Block's Style from Admin Area

Often we have clients for whom we are developing a theme who request that they have several different block styles to choose from. Sometimes each style is completely different (colors, borders, images) while other times it is something as subtle as a different header icon.

A quick way of letting the site admin quickly change a block's style is with the Block Class module. It adds a "CSS Class(es)" text field to each Block's configuration page. The site admin then only needs to type in the pre-determined class names to achieve a desired look.

One of the nice features of this module is the fact that the site admin can add multiple CSS classes. This then allows them to add classes like, "green globeicon whitebg". By providing the client with a set of classes they can mix and match, you've given them complete control and flexibility over their block displays.
