You have your Stanford site up and running, now you want other people to help you. Here's how to give them permission to edit your site.
Suppose you're using taxomomy terms in exposed filters, and you want the resulting page to display one of the the terms as a title. Taxonomy term pages will give this to you very easily, but sometimes the taxonomy term page is not the right solution. Here's how you can display the taxonomy term as the title of your views page.
Websites often link to pages on other websites – this is a great way to refer to relevant information from your site. However, problems arise when a page that people are linking to moves to a new URL in your site or elsewhere. The link that once worked is now broken.

Suppose you're getting ready to migrate your website from Drupal 6 to 7, or maybe you just inherited a site. You'll want do an audit to learn what content is on the site and how it is structured. When it comes time for a site audit, it’s good to start with a sitemap.
Have you ever needed to change the URL for your website? Say, move your website from one domain to another, from a subdirectory to the root of a web host, or even make a copy? Chances are, you’ll find broken links and missing images in the text of your content.
Have you ever wanted to try something new on your website, but you were afraid it might go wrong and leave you with a broken site? Or maybe you want a second website that is is a close match to an existing one? Creating a copy of your live (or "production") site gives you the opportunity to explore changes to its current configuration with less risk. This tutorial will show you how to create a copy (or "development") website using a backup of your production site.
Do you have courses on ExploreCourses that you’d like to appear on your site? Are you adding these courses by hand every term? If so, check out the Stanford Courses module.
Over a weekend in mid-July several members of Stanford IT Services turned up at the OpenWeb conference held at the Paypal Town Hall in San Jose.
