A few simple rules ... limitless possibilities

Content types

Three new Drupal Content Types have been created to handle this maintenance activity:

• Person

  This holds the basic information about a person:

  Name, Phone - two possible, Email only shown in edit mode, so the real one must be entered, Address, Photo = the file name used in /files/photos (this needs to be in the format surnameinitial.jpg e.g. diamondj.jpg, Grade - Dan certificate awarded by the BGA, Active - Status must be Active to appear in the standard People's information/picture gallery, Profile

  Note: It is most important to upload photos via FTP in the above name format as it's used in sorting People into surname order!. Even if there isn't an actual file the expected file name should still be entered.

• Committee

  This defines the overall Committee structure. There are two specific ones which are not normally seen, but are used to make the Views structure work: COUNCIL and OTHER which contains the names of those with Honorary positions plus the Auditor.

  Title = name, Chairman, Body = Description

• Position

  Role = Officials title, Committee, Person andJob Description

Adding a person, committee or position

Use the URLs

• http://www.britgo.org/node/add/person,
• http://www.britgo.org/node/add/committee or
• http://www.britgo.org/node/add/position

Don't forget if you're adding a new position to make sure that the person already exists first!

Peoples' photos should be added to the directory /files/people using FTP. This can be done before or after adding the person data.
