Battle for the Body Field
Brandon Hundt, Jeff Tomlinson, Patrick Coffey
At DrupalCon Austin, Jeff Eaton gave a talk titled 'The Battle for the Body Field' where he discussed the challenges of putting chunks of content, like a photo gallery or a newsletter signup block, into other chunks of content, like a news story. Let's just say the body field can get really messy, really quickly. This got PRI actively thinking about how to solve this challenging issue as we seek new ways to inform and engage our users through our storytelling. Thanks to a prototype grant from the Knight Foundation, PRI was able to work with Four Kitchens to address this issue with a set of features designed to win this battle.
This session will be a case study in four parts: An introduction to the project, a discussion on how PRI and Four Kitchens dev teams were able to collaborate successfully, an overview of how the features were built, and lessons learned from using the features in production.
With that in mind, we don’t just want to show you a set of features to address this issue, we also desire to share some UX insights and tips we’ve found from using the tool to help you better inform and engage your users.
