Using Spaces

 
 
B1.29 - Openminds zaal

An in-depth look at the Spaces module, and some of it's companions (the most commonly used companion is the PURL module). 

Spaces is a powerful API module that allows you to provide context to parts of your site effectively allowing you to load different configuration. You can do any of the following, while using a single Drupal install:

  • Create site sections
  • Set up multiple sites with or without shared content
  • Create private groups
  • Give editor rights to certain user on certain parts of the site
  • Enable different features base on the active space
  • ...

Spaces comes with several prebuilt space types. The famous would be the Organic Groups integration as used by Open Atrium.

Note: There will be some more advanced talk near the end, as well as (talk of) code.
