[KineJapan] Kinema Club website

[Aaron Gerow]

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Kinema Club website has been updated. It’s not an update of content—yet—but rather of platform. As many of you know, both the Kinema Club website and KineJapan are run out of Yale servers. The website in YaleSites, but it was decided last year that YaleSites would update to Drupal 9, a change that would necessitate that all sites on the platform would have to be redone with the new functionality of Drupal 9 in mind. All the departments at Yale, for instance, are now doing that, but all other websites hosted on YaleSites have to do it as well. So I hired a web tech with experience with Drupal 9 to redo the website for the new platform. There result has now been uploaded:

https://kinemaclub.org/

The result is a lot cleaner, especially for the announcements. My main problem is that you have to use a limited number of set templates, so the new website had to use one that has the Yale name at the top (that was not the case before, even though Yale did appear at the bottom of the page).

Markus and I identified a number of corrections that need to be made, and we’ll get to that soon. There are a probably other major changes that could be made and hopefully we can talk about it, maybe at Sheffield.
