Drupal School Site. St Louis Jubilee School Drupal in Africa (Ghana)

with 2 comments

Here come another drupal success story. The building of St. Louis Jubilee School. This is a primary and JSS school (Junior High School) in Kumasi. Kumasi is a city in Ghana(West-Africa). The site is a basic website with normal functionality. The website contains information about the school and the activities of the school. Some of the features that allow the website to stand out from the rest of it’s kind is the following:
1. Online Results System
2. User and email Account for the staff
3. Accounts for the Students
4. Events/ News and Articles organization
5. Galleries
I just want to go through how I built the website. This is a write or some sort of documentation about how the tools,modules and how the site was built. We all know that drupal is a very powerful tool. I even called it the “drupal framework”. I see it as more of a framework that a CMS. We usually see it being used for high end sites like New York Observer, Eureka and the rest. I must say that they are really performing a awesome job with those site. I have actually learnt a lot from these sites and how the developers built it. In this case drupal is being used for a lower end site in terms of functionality , if I may say so.

Drupal Backend theme issues

with one comment

If you’ve configured Drupal (www.drupal.org) the way that it
uses different themes for the frontend and the backend, it still kicks
you into the frontend when you edit content.
To change this you have to edit this file:
modules/system/system.module

at the end of the function “function system_menu($may_cache)” look
for the “else” part

// in line ~308
// find:
if (arg(0) == ‘admin’) 

// repalce with:
if (arg(0) == ‘admin’||
(arg(0)==’node’ && arg(1)==’add’) ||
(arg(0)==’user’ && arg(1)!=”) ||
(arg(0)==’node’ && (arg(2)==’edit’ || arg(2)==’localizernode’))
)
