Looking for a Developer / part owner of a product that fills a gap in a market | Midlands Advice and Training Services Ltd
Hi All,
I'm looking for a developer in the UK Midlands to work on a very part-time but ongoing basis to help develop and maintain a web app for the accounting industry.
The app has only one competitor and that product is so expensive that it's beyond the reach of most smaller accountant businesses, of which there are thousands in the UK. Most accountants use this kind of tool but on a spreadsheet. So, the app is a web version of a spreadsheet that can be provided.

Similar to last post I'd also like to hear what people have to say about using US based hosts for serving mostly UK targeted sites? Is there anything to consider (with the exception of obvious time delays for support)?
Thank you

AWS - Amazon Web Services - Accessing servers on a mac using SSH and public/private keys
Hi everyone
I've been using AWS (Amazon Web Services) and their EC2/Cloud Formation services for the past week and have been testing the instant Drupal sites via the Cloud Formation. After much trial and error I have everything working with the exception that I am unable to upload/download files to the server as it requires SFTP utilising public/private key pairs. I've done everything possible and have viewed umpteen articles in relation to this but still cannot find any answers on how to do this via my mac.

Read moreDrupal Multisite??? Shared cck fields???
I'm not sure if this is simple question or not, but I'm a little bit confused.
I am planning on developing 4 drupal sites that are essentially pretty much the same in terms of what they do, they will look different but will more or less do exactly the same job as each other with the odd exception. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to feed the sites from the same database and most importantly can the sites share the same cck fields 'if and when' they are required, or do you need to either share all fields or non at all?
Read moreMigrating data to CCK field in D6
Hoping someone might be able to advise. I'm trying to migrate data from an old site across to my drupal site. Ive pulled the data out from Access (dont ask) and now have it sitting in the drupal mysql database. Ive used table wizard to draw the data out and check it via a view which works nicely however when trying to use Migrate Ive now come un-stuck due to the change to Migrate V2 which has no UI (certainly not for drupal 6 anyway). Im just not upto the level of being able to use migrate v2 comfortably and was hoping someone might be able to point me in a new direction?

Read moreDrush & Drush Make on Mac- How to setup and use 'Drush Make'?
Hi everyone
Another question for anyone out there that understands 'Drush Make'.
I have Drush setup (Mac OSX) and am pretty competent in using it. The issue I now have is that I'm a little unsure as to how to get 'Drush Make' working which I require to save time on Drupal site setups. I've looked for videos etc (this is the way that I managed to get Drush running correctly) but have been unable to find a good example that I understand.
Does anyone know of an absolute idiot proof tutorial or perhaps can post an easy to follow guide?
Any help will be much appreciated
Thank you
Read moreHierachical Location Fields
Hi
I'm new to Drupal and have been pulling my hair out now for quite a few days now trying to configure something that I would have imagined to be a very basic requirement.
All I need to figure out is how to create some kind of hierarchical field select system for locations in this instance. For example I have UK Counties (taxonomy), I would then like for arguments sake to select West Midlands and then a second field should dynamically show all the towns in the West Midland's area to enable the user to select one.
