2 Big Deployments

We pushed two big sites live today:

Academic and Student Affairs was a monster of a site – some 500 pages. In order to make it manageable, with some help from Tana Stuart over in ASA, we broke it up into a number of smaller sites, and were able to identify some mini sites that could actually be archived – publicly available, but no longer part of the core website. Kassidy Zuniga, an intern at our New Media Center, also updated the look of our archive splash page. Be sure to check out her work!

Depending on how you shuffle the numbers, we’re now at 38% of pages complete, and 57% of departments complete. Many thanks to the friendly folks over at Marketing and Public Relations, who helped us move a stunning 900 pages to the archive (you won’t see anything different yet, but expect a new, streamlined news release format soon!).

Suprise Extra Deployment

With the help of our first New Media Center students, we were able to take two more sites live today:

As part of the migration, we updated how you interact with the Art at Lane website. Through the use of Drupal’s Views Module, we changed how artwork is presented. Rather than have multiple pages to display the same information sorted in different ways, now you can simply click on a table header to sort by that column. And by having our own content type for artwork, we unified how pages are presented, and made it even easier to expand in the future.
