National Geographic Personal Explorer is a new tourism website, which features quality content by the yellow giant.
The content is divided into three levels of depth: Guides, Tours and Points of interest, with each guide covering a city or a region, and many points of interest which combine various thematic tours (e.g., romantic Paris, wine trail in Toscana etc).
Each piece of content may also be attached to one or more reusable media assets - images, audio and video - thus creating a rich view of each place,while allowing the conservation of resources.
One of our favorite client that we are very proud of, and we accompanied from our early days, is www.MachsomWatch.org.
Lately we upgraded it from drupal 5.x to drupal 6.x and dressed it with a new beautiful design by Inbal Mizrach. As long with the design, an extreme UI process was made, what made us actually build, almost the entire site from scratch, over the existing content. One of the interesting challenge was to combine the checkpoints content with the daily reports from checkpoints.
One of the classical challenges when working with maps is - How to set a map with two content layers, each with it's own markers color ( with no code involved ).
We'll use the OpenLayers module that bringing the OpenLayers JavaScript library into Drupal.
Although it's most convenient to work with, settings are not always trivial and can be a bit confusing at the beginning. We'll try to go over the settings process and pass through all obstacles.
