Drupal for Educators is a site devoted to squeezing best use out of the Drupal content management system, with a special eye towards the needs of educators. Migrating a conventional website into drupal can be a daunting task. Our mission is to make that task as easy and as worthwhile as possible.

Quote of the Day

Welcome to Drupal for Educators

I'm starting to really love Drupal. There is so much that is easy, and virtually nothing that is impossible. Building a site in Drupal gives me a lot of power I would have to work very hard to duplicate in a non-Drupal site.

About Us

Drupal4Educators is a playground for Becky Kinney and her company, Moonlight Multimedia, to explore the potential of the Drupal Content Management System for use by teachers and faculty members.

Moonlight Multimedia has specialized in the development of highly interactive educational websites since 2003, working primarily with Adobe Flash (originally, Macromedia Flash). Flash has served the company extremely well, and remains an excellent tool for the development of high quality educational content while many other players have come and gone.

This in a non-authenticated user, trying to ask a question.

OK, the question got through, and I did not have to pass a Captcha, but after I answered, I got a permission error on whatever page it tried to send me on to. Very odd.

Why can't I ask a question?

Apparently, you can. Maybe I should log out and give this a try.

Learning Drupal

[copied from my Google Wave just in case it gets lost]

A Google Wave Blog. This is partly an experiment into using Wave as a place to write a blog. I was thinking that I should start a blog about my experiences as I learn Drupal, and debating over where to put it. There are lots of possibilities, but no slam-dunk winner. Should I create a forum at Drupal.org since the blog will be about Drupal? Should I put the blog up on my own website own website , since I moonlight as a Drupal Developer ? On my employer's website, since I am the Drupal webmaster for my work group?

Drupal Form submission

I've made some significant, but truly hard-won progress. Getting things done the Drupal way is really really hard when you don't know how. So, here's what I've learned.

Form Submission Woes Solved

My son Peter built me a very simple module that puts node-specific student notes into a side panel. He basically copied some stuff from the FAQ-Ask add-question block. The problem is, when you click the 'Save' button, the whole page reloads. Took me weeks to figure out the best way to overcome this.
