Using Custom Dynamic Display Blocks for Staff Directory and Bio Pages

In this session, I'll demonstrate the process of using the dynamic display block module to create a customized gallery of images and text. The UW-Madison Institute for Clinical and Translational Research uses a custom DDBlock layout to showcase staff and trainee bios; an example can be viewed here: https://ictr.wisc.edu/PreviousTL1. I'll walk through the steps of creating this type of display, including a look at CSS file modifications. Although this example currently runs on Drupal 6, I will also discuss the differences of using the DDBlock module with version 7.
