Modules

How can I tell?

In this mornings session there were questions about how to customize the appearance of your site without creating a new theme.

Let's talk about things like:

• When do you need a custom theme and when can you avoid it?
• When to create a sub-theme of an existing theme.
• Ways to modify an existing theme without a subtheme.
  • CSS Injector 
  • CSS Editor
• Modules that do things that might also be done in a theme
  • Fancy Blocks
  • Configurable Block Styles
  • Sticky Menus

What have you used/done? What works well?

Some current options: Ubercart, roll-your-own, FoxyCart, others?

Some potential options: Commerce, Shopify, Backshop, others?

We are looking for 4-8 folks to give a 5 minute demonstrations of their favorite Backdrop module OR a module that they think is underappreciated. We'll get through as many modules as we can in our allocated time. 

You don't need a prepared presentation. Feel free to improvise. But, only 5 minutes per module. We'll save time at the end for discussion and questions.

Modules that we have scheduled so far:
