Hannon Hill Services Spotlight: NEU Law Media Gallery

By Kat Liendgens
Friday, August 13th, 2010 at 11:00am

As the Hannon Hill Services team continues to implement a wide variety of Cascade Server projects for our clients, we thought that it might be interesting to share some examples with you. We recently completed a small, very cool project for Northeastern University School of Law.

The first part was the implementation of a photo gallery. When a user wants to create a new photo gallery, they simply have to select New --> Media --> Photo Gallery, and a folder. The associated index page will be automatically created. Next, the user can upload images to go into the photo gallery folder by selecting New --> Media --> Image with Thumbnail and selecting the image to upload. There’s no need to manually create a thumbnail, as the system will produce one for you. As soon as the image is uploaded, it is integrated into the slideshow:

An index page automatically shows all of the existing photo galleries, which can be filtered by year and category. The user does not have to do anything to create the index listing.

The second part was the integration of a video gallery. When creating a new video asset, the user selects New --> Media --> Video Page and enters a few data fields, such as the category and the location of the video (YouTube, for instance) as well as a caption. The video is instantly displayed on the video index page, where a web user is able to filter by year and category:

As you can see, creating multimedia pages can be accomplished with just a few clicks in Northeastern University’s Law site. For more information or to get a quote for your own Cascade Server project, contact our Services team.

Stay tuned for more examples of projects implemented by the Hannon Hill Services team.

If you have visited the Hannon Hill site recently, you may have noticed all the new case studies we have posted in recent months.  Something we hear from our customers again and again is how much they enjoy hearing what others are doing with Cascade Server.  As a result, we are making an effort to document as many of these stories as possible.  We are proud to announce our latest case study on the University of New Brunswick which focuses on their use of the WordPress connector to manage their blog content. They are doing some amazing things, and we hope you'll take a few minutes to read and find out more. 

Once you check out New Brunswick's story, we'd like you to begin considering your own.  We know you have a great story to tell about your Cascade Server usage, and we'd love to help you share it with the world!  If you have interest in participating in a case study, please email info@hannonhill.com or you can write me directly.  Don't be shy!
