Topic: Drupal-izing SASS Web Sites
Abstract:
Student Academic Success Service (SASS) is a service-providing
department at the University of Ottawa. The programs and services
offered by SASS complement student's classroom learning and help
students achieve their professional and academic goals. Services
offered by SASS include personal and career counseling,
accessibility services, and writing services among others. The
Website http://www.sass.uottawa.ca acts the web front for all the
services SASS offers. Nowadays, websites at the University of Ottawa
are de-centralized; rather than one central entity controlling the
development and deployment of websites across faculties and
services. The University of Ottawa has now elected to reduce the
de-centralization of the universities public sites by switching over
to the Drupal content management system. The primary goal of this
project is to investigate, establish, and carry out the necessary
steps involved in semi-automatically migrating a non-Drupal site
(vanilla PHP) to one that is under Drupal control.
