I am a freelance Drupal web developer with expertise in PHP programming and Drupal site configuration. I also run my own web hosting server through Linode. I primarily work through DRT Media, a web development company which I highly recommend if you value professional work, honest people, good communication and competitive prices.
Select Moves is a moving company in the College Station and Austin, Texas area. They wanted to establish their online presence and at the same time provide a convenient and easy to use website for their customers. Customers can take advantage of a instant quote and request packing materials online.
The instant quote is a smart quoting system that will tell the customer how much a move will cost as the form is filled out. The CakePHP Wizard component was used for building the quoting system.
The Charitable Society of Charleston needed a custom CMS and a new design for their charity run event. They wanted an easy way to modify the content from year. The content included sponsors, race results, race photos and race information.
The sponsors and race photos were crafted using the ImageCache and ImageField modules along with the CCK to give a very easy to use administration section. Using the administration section the client can easily add, delete and reorder Sponsors and Photos Gallery pictures.
When I was upgrading from 6.12 to 6.13 on one of the sites I maintain accidentally locked myself out of the site! I was following the usual procedure to upgrade the Drupal, or at least I thought I was, except that I forgot to change the default theme to Garland. To make matters worse, after I uploaded the new 6.13 files I realized I couldn't run the update database scripts because I was not user 1. So, of course I logged out to get into user 1 and found that I couldn't log back in.
I just setup a new Linode server and configured it so that I could run my new Drupal powered homepage. Alright! Here are of the particulars without going into too much detail.
