Overview
This course will introduce you to the Drupal content management system, train you in the most important Drupal frameworks, and scratch the surface of how to write Drupal modules and create Drupal themes.
During the last three weeks of the course you will be working with your own web site project, implementing some of the techniques covered by this course. This site will constitue your examination, and all sites will be displayed on the last day of the course. (See separate section for details about how the sites are evaluated.)
Schedule and resource links
General resources

All parts of this course, except module coding and theming, are covered by the books “Drupal 7: börja här” and “Drupal 7 – the Essentials” (which are basically Swedish and English versions of the same books).
Drupal-related questions are most welcome at http://groups.drupal.org/sweden. Tag your question 4 weeks of Drupal, and it will be noticed by the teacher on the feed http://groups.drupal.org/taxonomy/term/65323.
Facebook group for this course: http://www.facebook.com/groups/286603891388072/. Use for course-specific questions and general discussion.

Show time for individual projects!
Examination: individual site project
There is a great demand for Drupal talent among web develppment companies. The content of this course is selected to match this demand as far as possible in four weeks. Passing this course means that you have the skills required to do basic Drupal development, and to continue to learn more advanced Drupal skills on your own.
The examination consists of the site that each course participant will be building and completing during the last week of the course. You are encouraged to start thinking about – and working with – a possible project as soon as possible.

When planning your project, you may find the following blog post useful: http://dev.nodeone.se/en/drupalizing-a-web-project. If you don’t have any fitting project ideas, you are welcome to use the project idea described at the end of this section.

It is necessary that I can access the website you build. This means that you will either have to place it on a (publicly) accessible server, or send me a dump of database and file structure for the site.
The grade “godkänt”
The grade “godkänt” requires that you build and present a web site that works well for the end user. It should also have the following components/properties:

configuration that, for most parts, is exported to code (see week 2 day 1: Features)
at least one additional content type (see week 1 day 2)
at least one reference field (see week 1 day 2)
at least one view with two different displays (being used) (see week 1 day 3)
at least one view using relationships (see week 2 day 1: advanced Views)
at least one view with a contextual filter (see week 2 day 1: advanced Views)
documentation describing the target group and the main functionality of the website. This documentation should allow a reasonably experience Drupal developer (i.e. the teacher) to understand what the site does and how to explore the functionality you added to it. (Documentation can for example be in the form of text and images.)
At least 4 of the following components:
configuration completely exported to code (see week 2 day 1: Features)
one global flag (see week 2 day 2: Flag)
one non-global flag (see week 2 day 2: Flag)
one reaction rule (see week 2 day 3)
a Rules component used by Views Bulk Operations (see week 2 day 3 + week 2 day 2: additional Views modules)
a Rules component used by Rules Scheduler (see week 2 day 3)
a custom page in Page manager using arguments (see http://dev.nodeone.se/en/learn-page-manager-part-8-menu-items-and-access...)
a custom page in Page manager using relationships or manually added context (see week 3 day 1)
a custom page in Page manager using more than one variant or access rules (see week 3 day 1 or http://dev.nodeone.se/en/learn-page-manager-part-8-menu-items-and-access...)
a panel using visibility rules (see week 3 day 1)
a panel using a Views content pane (see week 3 day 1)
a sub theme with customized CSS (see week 3 day 3)
a sub theme with a customized template file (see week 3 day 3)
a form being altered by a custom module or theme (see week 4 day 1)

Note that you are free to use any additional modules or technology, if you want to. The factors evaluated are the ones listed below, so failing misarably in making the Calendar module work (for example) won’t lower any grades. Nice solutions might be a plus, though. :-)
The grade “väl godkänt”
The grade “väl godkänt” requires that the conditions for “godkänt” are satisfied, and also that another five of the items under criteria 8 above are fulfilled. You have an option to replace these items with writing documentation for either end users or developers/maintainers of the site. Documentation for one of these groups counts as one item in criteria 8. Documentation for both these groups counts as three items in criteria 8.
Some notes about the documentation:

Documentation for end users should be adapted to the expected skill level of the end users, and should generally be characterized by high readability. Documentation for general web skills (logging in, requesting new password, searching, etc.) does not have to be documented – the focus of the documentation should be on the functionality that is specific for your site.
Documentation for developers/site maintainers should describe all the configuration that is not apparent for a reasonably trained Drupal developer – assume that all configuration covered by the grading criteria should be documented.
(In this setting, “developers/maintainers” should be understood as people who will take care of site development, upgrades, bug hunting, performance improving and so on. These need to know what configuration you have added, not only the end-user functionality. Thus, “there is a list of new on the front page” is not enough, but “the front page consists of a Page manager custom page with a view content pane and two static messages” is better.)

Documentation can for example be made in text and images, but other media works as well.
Some comments about “exported configuration”
I must be able to access your website in its whole, either as an online installation and a link you send me, or by you sending me a dump of site files and database (see first section under “Examination: individual site project”). This is not an export of site configuration.
Exporting site configuration is, by most Drupal developers, done by using the Features module. The Features module is described in the videos for 2nd half of week 2 day 1.
To fulfil the first criteria for “godkänt”, you do not have to export all settings on your site (nor all all of the configuration that can be exported with Features). The following steps will be sufficient to fulfil criteria 1:

Download and install the Features and Strongarm modules.
Go to structure > Features > create feature and search the “edit component” dropdown. Add all of the content types, image styles, flags, rules configuration, page manager pages/variants and views that you have created on the site. (It is quite all right to disregard the “dependencies”, “menu items” and “strongarm” components!)
Give your feature a name and description, and download it.
Extract the downloaded module and place it in sites/all/modules.
Enable the newly available feature. Done!

Criteria 8a, to have all configuration completely exported is a very difficult task. This is something that experienced Drupal developers try hard to do, and often have to find special solutions to accomplish. One of the reasons for this is that block settings cannot be exported with Features.
A fallback project
If the project ideas you come up with yourself seem difficult to implement within the frame of this course, feel free to use the project described at http://dev.nodeone.se/en/an-example-project-to-build.
(Feel free to tweak the project in any way you like, as long as your implmentation of it meets the grading criteria.)
Some more learning resources
This section collects some links and stuff that may be useful when working with your own projects. It only contains topics that are not covered in the course.
Non-english sites

http://www.lullabot.com/articles/localized-and-multi-lingual-content-dru...

Logging in when you locked yourself out

If you logged out and the login block is gone, you can always go to /user and find a login page.
If you are logged as non-administrator and can’t find a link to log out, you can always go to /user/logout to log out.
If you lost your password and for any reason can’t get an e-mail with a one-time login link, you can try edit your database directly. Go to the database, open the table “users” and edit the enty for user 1. In the password hash, you can paste in the following:
$S$DB.Tfr9RcoFRqp.PO4AVZGSUfJ5JmeQ9edkqHJygrLBXKvobi1j2
This is the hash for a password “root”. Once this is set, log in with the password “root” and change the password for account 1 to something else.
