The Pratt Center for Community Development in New York City is one of DTEK's oldest and best clients, and has been running on Drupal 6 for two and a half years (Andy migrated them from a custom php site in 2009). This will be a pretty tech-heavy post about how we planned and executed the major upgrade of their site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

Extending Drupal's Context Module: Custom Condition Based on Field Value

We use the context module for Drupal in every site we build. It's a great way to do things like create separate "sections" of a site, with different behaviors and layouts based on an arbitrary set of "conditions" or triggers. For example, we may want Blog posts to have a different layout than other parts of a site.
