Public Access & CTC Grants

Public Access & CTC Grants


In 2008, Deproduction was the recipient of a Knight News Challenge award aimed at a long-term goal of helping Public Access TV stations and Community Technology Centers better cooperate as a nation-wide user-driven network. At the core of this grant is the collection and implementation of a set of open-source tools developed by DOM and others aimed at expanding the role of the community and streamlining much of the workload of a Public Access station or CTC.

Use these instructions to create a basic DVD of your exported FCP project or .mov file from the capture scratch.

How to SubmitHow to Submit

Currently, the only way to get your content aired on Denver Open Media is to come into our facilities at 700 Kalamath in Denver and sign up to use an edit station to encode your content into our servers. For tapes, this process is real-time. For digital files and DVDs, the process is much faster. You must be a member and have completed an orientation session before you can air content.

 

Style Guide

IntroductionIntroduction

Below is a quick introduction to entering content on the Denver Open Media website. In order to maintain consistency throughout the site, a single style sheet (CSS) has been defined for all of the pages. Like a wiki or any other collective online editing system this means that as you enter content you will rely on a system of predefined tags to format your page. The primary benefit to using these predefined tags is that in the future, as the style for the website evolves, only the file that defines those tags has to be edited to change the look and appearance of all the pages on the site.

All About TagsAll About Tags

So moving right along, let's start with the basics. There are two sets of tags that you will find most useful.

HTML tagsHTML tags

The first are specific HTML(the code behind most web pages) tags. These are tags already defined within HTML and follow the general pattern of <TAG>CONTENT</TAG>.

Style Sheet TagsStyle Sheet Tags

The second set of tags you will be using are tags that have been created within the site’s style sheet. These tags look like either: <span style="TAG:VALUE;">CONTENT</span> or <div class="TAG:VALUE;">CONTENT</div> These tags are a bit more complicated, but almost always follow that general pattern. Imagine that SPAN and DIV are containers, and that each container holds a whole bunch of predefined style options that we can choose from. While it is not critical to understand the difference, the DIV container is generally used to affect entire sections of content, i.e. indenting a whole paragraph while the SPAN container is used on text within sections of content, i.e. to bold a word in a sentence.

The TagsThe Tags

Text Style: <span class=”VALUE”></span> The options for alternate text styles are currently: emphasize
Example: I would like to express my <span class="emphasize"> deep compassion </span> for breathing.
Looks like: I would like to express my deep compassion for breathing.

Developer Best Practices

GeneralGeneral

DO NOT alter any file that is a part of Drupal Core. Any file that is a part of Drupal Core is subject to being overwritten without notice. There are many ways around doing this, please jim [at] geekgene [dot] com if you need assistance.

Drupal ModulesDrupal Modules

Any module added to Drupal, be it a module downloaded from the Drupal web site, or developed internally, should go in its own folder within the /contributed/ folder. Drupal will automatically descend the tree and find the modules.

example: /modules/contributed/mymodule/mymodule.module
