Application Software and Project Implementation

This system is implemented by Weiling Liu (OLT, University of Louisville,) sponsored by ITRT's Web Services (http://kla-itrt.org) and powered by Drupal (version 5.21) (http://drupal.org,) an Open Source module-based content management system (CMS.) In addition to the core modules, some add-on contributed modules are used.

• Theme was modified from barron by jwolf (http://drupal.org/node/134962)
• Major contributed modules used in this system include:
o Actions – for workflow action control: to change submission status and execution sequence
o Captcha – spam protection for input control
o CCK and CCK-taxonomy – for form fields: to create custom fields
o Taxonomy_hide – for field access control: create categories used for authorized users only, e.g. requester’s contact information is entered by the user, but not displayed on the calendar for the public
o Content_access – for page access control: to allow access control at the page level, rather than the default content type level
o Event – for calendar display
o Eventrepeat – for recursive classes
o login_destination – for default page control: to set a different default page for content manager
o Mass_contact – for contact lists
o Moderate and modr8 – for workflow control: to display a list of new requests for approval
