Our client needed a new service landing page and content page for the official website of the city of Hamilton, Ontario. In this respect, the plan included enhancing the existing template, to better support their marketing capabilities, and improving the current theme, as well.
As for the “new” functionalities to be implemented, many of them were due to be “old” features repurposed.
And so, they selected us to develop and theme the new pages.(Read more)
What we did:
-
built and themed a new landing page listing all the departments (Cemeteries, Museums, etc.)
-
… one which overlaps the existing main header and “lives” within the same environment
-
provided a new page layout, with department-specific branding
-
ensured that the editorial staff could easily update the theme sections
-
cross-developed the new landing page for Drupal 8
-
provided a mobile version, as well, where the editor(s) could easily switch between the 2 versions of the menu color
-
implemented a functionality enabling the user to swap out, according to the specific department branding
-
implemented a functionality that would collapse the main header on Hamilton.ca and trigger a brand new page layout, along with the department-specific branding
-
enabled the editorial team to include up to 5 department-specific items overlapping the main header
-
set up and themed a new content page carrying the same features as the current basic one on the website, but without the side menus
The result: a more user-friendly, visually-appealing alternative to the current website of the city of Hamilton, one that better highlights the services provided there (culture, recreation, museums, etc.)
Ask anyone in Toronto... no, in fact, ask anyone in Canada about "Mary MacLeod". Not only that they'll tell you that it's the name of a highly reputed brand of artisanal shortbread cookies, but they'll instantly... feel their mouths water.
Now, you can imagine that the chance to contribute our share of Drupal development experience and expertise to the reputation of this 38 years old bakery honored us, to say the least.
And challenged us to…(Read more)
What we did:
-
installed multiple discount, coupon, and checkout extensions
-
integrated the Canada Post shipping plugin, which displays order shipping rates in real-time
-
developed a custom module around a "date pickup" functionality; basically, our client wanted to be able to limit customers' choices of weekdays for picking up their ordered products to specific days (and hours) only
-
... also, the newly implemented functionality was not to interfere with the one that was already enabling them to block out certain dates from being selected by customers for order pickup
-
created user profile fields and ensured that users could easily edit their own account profile data
-
ensured that users could easily view their order history

monthly Drupal maintenance and support: we're regularly updating Drupal core and checking the integrity of the Drupal module ecosystem
“Auctions” is a new section set up to be easily deployed across the whole MLSE environment of Drupal websites and apps. One where registered sports fans can bid on various valuables and items auctioned there.In other words, to the highly diversified range of sports fan experiences that they were already providing, MLSE wanted to add one more: the bidding experience.And they assigned us, the OPTASY team, to create all the specific features and…(Read more)
What we did:
created all the above-mentioned features and set up an MLSE auction system from the ground up
integrated 2 key modules into the project: the Drupal Commerce bundle and the Commerce Auction contrib module
further extended the Commerce Auction module's functionality to incorporate an automatic bids algorithm
implemented a custom pop-up form that enables bidders to inline edit their profile pages
set the logic behind to use an FCFS mechanism so that the system could cope with those autobid scenarios featuring simultaneous bidders
developed a custom Commerce payment method module, one that supports credit card online payment integration
automated the order issuing process for the winning bidders
(Far) More than just “another fan site”. Toronto FC's Drupal 7-based website turned out as the ultimate source of both informative and entertaining exclusive content for this team's supporters.
Content that they can “consume”, interact with and turn into... lifelong memories. In short: the resulting fan site is a source of memorable experiences...
And by “exclusive content”, meant to bring supporters closer to their favorite team, we do mean…(Read more)
What we did:
-
built the fan site from the ground up using Drupal 7: we've put together a custom pre-built architecture, then developed and added all the needed, project-specific components
-
integrated it with the Janrain CIAM platform (one leveraging a common user database, that a wide range of MLSE services and apps are “plugged” to)
-
integrated it with Vimeo, a media-rich platform, so that the exclusive video content gets retrieved, right from its sources, via API
-
synchronized content between the Vimeo account and the Drupal platform using a forced manual update for implementing a purge all/fetch all feature
-
integrated token sign-in validation from mobile apps: it takes no more than a click login for the user to switch from the fan site to apps serving the same purpose
-
configured the Janrain workflow so that it should be used on a multisite setup; this allows updating specific fields of the global Janrain user data object
