Gainesville
This group is for everyone living in the Gainesville area who's interested in Drupal. You can post here about anything relating to Gainesville and Drupal, whether that's events, local job postings, or just a call out to talk shop over beers. We are committed to having a steady meetup every month on the 2nd Thursday of the month. To receive alerts about these events, join the group.
Meetups focus on connecting people. The target audience is Drupal developers, users, and people who want to learn more about Drupal. We start the meetups with a round of very focused lightening talks that discuss real world solutions to existing problems and Drupal news. These presentations don’t discuss code – anyone with a technical background can understand them.
Meeting Schedule
Nov 10th - Downtown Library - Team Review of an acquia webinar. Options are eCommerce, PSD to Theme
Dec 8th - Downtown Library - Mobile sites
We're open to ways to improve these events and this group, so speak up if you have ideas!

Gainesville Drupal Users Group Thursday 8/11 6pm
The Gainesville Drupal Users Group will be meeting tomorrow (2nd Thurs each month) at the downtown Alachua County Library. The meeting will be held in the foundation room 6pm-8pm.
This week, we’ll do a bit of discussion on the Display Suite module (and suite of modules), and we’ll also continue working on www.GatorDUG.org... We made some great progress last month, but still need to clean up some of the node pages, etc. Register today at www.GatorDUG.org/user!
Of course everyone is welcome to show up (from newbies to ninjas)!
GatorDUG.org To Do Wiki
Live site: http://gatordug.org/
Mockup: http://gatordug.org/mockupv1.htm
Note: I have most of the images located under /sites/default/themes/gatordugv1/images/
Note #2: The Fireworks mockup source file is under /sites/default/themes/gatordugv1/source/
Site access: Right now, we just have FTP access. Email Mike at mherchel@fhsaa.org, with your phone number and I'll call and give you the credentials (I don't send passwords over email).
As of this morning (the day after the July meetup), we have most of the functionality needed, but its very ugly. So, we need to clean it up!
To do (please add, remove as needed)
Create left "About the Gaineville Drupal Users Group" Block: My thinking is that Century Tower will be the background image, we can display:absolute the Gator Drupalicon, and have the link text at the bottom have a transparent background.Create Navigation on Home Page: The navigation is rotated 90 degrees in the mockup... this can be done with CSS3 2D Transforms, but isn't supportted by (guess...) IE8. So, my thought is to use CSS Image replacement on this. I already have the images created under the themes images directoryTheme and make pretty the Jcarousel sliders - this will probably be a PITA to complete, but is very doable - Assigned to Mike- Add Signup Button
- Change Favicon to Green/Orange version
- Theme Navigation on Non-Front Pages
Theme Members Footer Block - We'll have to float the images leftTheme FL Groups Footer Block - I have white drupalicon bullets in the images directoryTheme Twitter widget - I think this can be done pretty well with CSS, but we'll see...- Theme Node Content - the nodes in general need to be prettied up, this includes header tags, links, etc
- Add Secondary Nav - this includes contact page, etc
I'm sure there are several tasks that I'm missing. Please add them as needed. Thanks!
July 2011 Gainesville Drupal Group Meetup Wrapup
The Gainesville Drupal Users Group met last evening at the Alachua County Library HQ (in the Foundation Room). First on the agenda was beginning the theme for our new group website, GatorDUG.org. Previous to last night, we had the default Bartik theme installed and in use. I had come up with a mockup in which we were going to do (see the mockup here).
So, we started theming by first creating the *.info file, page.tpl.php, relevant CSS files, etc. We also installed the views carousel module to do the carousels.
We were able to complete the general structure of the theme and get the views configured within the two hours. Its pretty ugly right now, but all the functionality exists, and it just needs some TLC and CSS (and maybe OPP – who’s down?). Next step is creating a wiki page on groups.drupal.org/gainesville, where we can divvy out tasks so we can get the theme cleaned up.
Also debuted, was the new theme and configuration for www.SurfingNosara.com. We also discussed and demoed some of the intricacies of Apache SOLR search, and discussed some theming of minipanels in megamenus that will be going into a University of Florida IFAS site (don’t recall the URL).
Our next meeting will be August 11th. Hope to see you there!!
