Weekly update #8

[Days spent on website this week: 3]

Another short week - only 3 days this time (due to other work commitments)

- Added sections and menus for all pages shown on the Site Map (most of these have yet to have information added to them).

- I've decided against my previous thoughts on giving the side navigation bar (seen on all but the home page) all links in its menu, and have gone back to following the Web Visuals. This is partly because it will actually work out quicker for me to do!

- Added past issues of our newsletter Spotlight with thumbnails, having added our other newsletter Spotlighter last week. When I get the chance, I'll make this page look nicer.

- I've spent a frustrating half a day trying to link one view to another (the news view on the home page to the larger news view for each item). I haven't yet worked out how to do this which is annoying as it seems like it should be something pretty simple to do!

- After much persuasion from a friend, I've finally got round to installing the Contemplate (Content Template) module. I've been trying to avoid using php, mainly because I've not used it before, but following on from my previous point, it looks like i'll have to! This tutorial is fairly useful, although it looks like there might be something wrong on that page near the bottom (the '.....' bit.

-I'm staring to figure out, using php, how to stop certain thing from appearing in the News articles (what you get when you click on the smaller news items on the Home page). So I don't want it to say what time it was submitted, etc.

-I've done more on the Flash slideshows, and have cropped photos for all primary pages

- Updated 4 modules in Drupal
