KEY FEATURESFELLOW PROFILES
  • Created custom node type fellow_profile
  • Imported node data and tagged using taxonomy
    terms using Fellow Migrate module from Fellows
    Database
  • Allowed us to use Drupals core functionality
    better than dynamically pulling results from
    Database
  • Cron job automatically updates fellow profiles
    from Fellows Database daily
  • GMAP block to pinpoint Fellows location on map
    if geo-code available.
  • Links at bottom of node for ASN Members to take
    action, if signed in can bookmark Fellow in
    Favourites list
