I bring to you an extremely difficult challenge...
Do you have what it takes to succeed? You brains may
swell and hurt...
![Page 4: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Today you will work in teams to build a working eCommerce
website for a client (represented by me).
Does this sound difficult?
![Page 5: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
My job is to guide and teach you, but I will not give you all of the
answers.
Problem solving is one of the most valuable skills in IPT.
![Page 6: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You will need to work with your teammates: an individual
cannot complete this task in the allocated time.
Communication, consensus, responsibility, specialisation,
commitment, trust.

2. How To Build A Website
![Page 12: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3 Approaches to Websites
• Hand coding– Slow, precise, unconstrained, expertise required
• WYSIWYG– Quick, constrained, sloppy, no expertise required
• Content Management System– Very quick, unconstrained, middling expertise– Different systems for different needs:
• Drupal• Joomla• WordPress
How many of you have hand coding experience?
![Page 13: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In my experience, using a CMS is the best approach.
But hand coding skills are important if you want to get the
most out of your CMS
![Page 14: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Drupal is my Preference
• What is Drupal?– Web-based content management system that
allows users to post to a website.
• Why was Drupal chosen?– Free (speech & beer)– Generative– Challenging– Highly Productive– Collaborative– It can do (almost) anything...
Posts are also called nodes. By default, users can post either a story or page, but it is easy to build other node types, such as
product.
Who makes Drupal, and why do they give it away?

Users, Profiles, Roles, Permissions

• Anonymous users• Authenticated users
• Permission: an action that the site allows users to perform
• At the moment your site has one user: root

Users, Profiles, Roles, Permissions II
• Do the following:• Create a new role called admin• Assign the role all permissions
– Later, as you add modules, you will need to add more permissions to the role.
• Create a new user for each member of your team
• Stop using the root account, and use your own!
– If you want, look at the User settings page
![Page 34: Y9 IPT Drupal Incursion One Day to eCommerce Ross Parker For North Sydney Boy’s High School April/May 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4c5503460f94b41ba1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• Admin menu will speed you up!• Someone on your team might want to search for
useful modules on the web.

To make the home page cleaner Post Information has been turned off (e.g. who posted and when). This can be done from
Administer > Theme > Configure
