Hellfire Commentaries
Title: Hellfire Commentaries
Project URL: http://www.hellfirecomms.com/
Developed During: October 2011 - Present
Description:
Hellfire Commentaries is a video commentary website focused around making commentaries for video games of various varieties and other media. The site owner and main commentator is Tom Stephens (aka NTom64). The site has a vast network of commentators that contribute to the website. The site also features a forum with a great community.
My involvement with the website involved upgrading the site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. The process included converting the data from custom tables storing video playthrough data into Drupal nodes. This was achieved by writing a custom PHP script and making several node types using CCK. The process also involved converting a template to use Drupal 7 standards as well as converting a table-based layout into a div-based layout. Also, pages using embedded PHP code for database access were removed and replaced with Views pages. Modern Drupal practices were implemented by using a variety of modules as well as some custom module code.
