Main Page

@Diana Antova - I’m wondering if we could redesign the front page to be more like the “block” design from the other UCSB pages.

 

 

@Steven Maglio - After more conversation it became apparent that what we should do is:

 

  • Figure out what our overall strategy is for handling layout and display changes.

    • The site currently uses a Theme provided by SA (Elda & Alex), which is an extension on top of the theme provided by Campus (Alex Parraga)

    • Maybe we could add an extension theme on top of those which is specific to this sites needs?

  • Navodit’s background is more in the backend programming side and not the UI side. It would be best to find someone comfortable with (1) Drupal Theming and (2) UI Design to help us out on this.

 

Action Items

  • @Navodit Dhiman (Unlicensed) - Is going to research theming and try to extend the SA theme (ucsbwebsub) if possible

  • @Diana Antova - Is going to see if Elda and Eric Mayes have time in the future to meet with us to discuss the Theming idea and see if they would have time to help out the API Gateway project.

“block” design example from ucsb.edu:
