Kansas City
Upgrade discussion
We had a small group at our meetup in Lawrence last night, but an excellent discussion.
We talked about different upgrade methods:
- The normal way, where you disable all modules, remove sites/all/modules, replace D6 files with D7 files (except for sites folder), and then run update.
- The drush way, with drush site-upgrade
- Starting fresh with a D7 site and importing
Reminder re meetup on Feb. 7
This is just a reminder that we are meeting at the Free State Brewery in Lawrence at 6:30 on Feb. 7. If you know you're coming and haven't said so, it would help me out if you'd respond.
I reserved the private room at the brewery, which holds 20 people, but if we have less than 8 they will give the second table to another group. I'd really like for us to hog up the whole room, even if we don't fill it.
Let me know!
Multibrand ecommerce website | Software Singularity
Hi,
I'm a senior dev (aka journeyman) but a noob to drupal and am declining on an opportunity in Kansas City. It's an ecommerce site for a print and signage firm that has a well established business.
Because of the risks involved I am not moving forward.
D6 to D7 Upgrade Discussion (Lawrence)
The upgrade path from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 is very challenging. This meeting doesn't have a speaker, but instead will be an informal discussion of the various methods and pitfalls of upgrading. Whether you have done it several times, are in the middle of the process, or are thinking about it, we'd like to hear what you have to say.
Plus, good food and beer.
Drupal Deconstruction Meet-up at VML
Joe Bartlett will be discussing his work on the US pro cycling challenge website http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com He'll talk about some of the challenges they faced in building the site, in theming, site building and custom development.
Anyone else who wants to do the same for one of their sites is more than welcome. We hope to generate a good discussion around best practices from doing these deconstruction exercises.
Please respond to this thread if you would like to show talk about a site you have built!
We'll be meeting at VML offices (downtown airport) at 6pm
Upgrading with Feeds
At the last meetup in KC, at the very end as the meeting was breaking up, several people mentioned that Feeds works as a way to upgrade a site from D6 to D7. I was unable to make it work. Have any of you actually done it, or is your knowledge theoretical? Documentation is thin on this topic, and I would very much like to make it more helpful.
Have you upgraded a site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7?

No meet-up tonight (11/29) at VML
Hey folks, I realize we had been operating under the assumption there is a DrupalKC meet-up the last Tuesday of each month, but it isn't happening this month (tonight - 11/29). Reason for that being... i haven't gotten off my butt to organize anything. That said, if folks were had made plans to come in... i can work something out, just respond to this thread and let me know. I certainly don't want to slow any momentum we have as a group. Also... i'd love to do one early December, before holiday madness.
Would you be interested in a Midwest Drupal Camp next year
Is there a November meetup on 11/29?
Just checking whether I'm driving in tomorrow night.
Thanks.
Custom Additions to Ubercart Coupon Modules - drupal 6.x | Walker Web
I have a site that uses drupal 6.x with Ubercart. My customer was wanting to use multi coupons, so I installed the multi coupon module. The module provided a discount to EVERY product thought they we're filtered by SKU's which provided discounts that are very inaccurate. I found a nov 15, 2011 bug that leads to this exact problem. I am hoping that someone can customize the module for me so that it might be used for the multi-coupon use. We use attributes and SKU's when selecting product items.
Lawrence, KS meetup
I wonder how I missed this group! No wonder I can never find out when the KC meetups are. Now I'll know. (Thank you, Scott.)
A colleague and I are also trying to organize a meetup in Lawrence. At this point we don't have times or locations, because we'd like to find out if anyone is interested. (Plan for 4 people or 40?)
If you are interested, respond here. I'd like to know what times work for people, e.g., if you work in Lawrence would you be able to come to a brown bag lunch? Early evening?
Thanks,
Mary (mollyavalon)

Project Developer | VolunteerMark
I had hired an overseas programmer for this job and it wasn't not moving along fast enough so I am looking for a local Kansas City programmer to finish this project. I have his original start which is a drupal 6.22 site with open atrium.
visit www.volunteermark.com to see the concept of the application I am creating. I need to be able to schedule events and participants and track their participation. It will be an intranet site for multiple organizations similar to Jive, Huddle, SharePoint, etc. Integrate with MailChimp, Donor Rally, civiCRM, etc. would be ideal.
