This is a landing page that I am trying to build. http://www.mikeyfixedit.com/mikeyfixedit.jpg
I've already designed the header and backgrounds. The trouble I am having is with the actual content, whether I need to designate a regions, use views to make it possible or panels. Please give me some ideas on how to build this. I can figure most stuff out but for some reason at the moment I can't wrap my own head around this. This also might be because I work a full time job.
Drinking the not-so-hot assistant (no trade mark infringement here)
I'm posting this to the list even though I suspect only one person will have an answer, but what the heck, let's all share the knowledge.
Drupal Camp Las Vegas 2012
At some point during this last year, I know many of you have all heard me talking about having a Drupal Camp in Las Vegas. Well, for about the last two months, I have been in the pre-planning stages of making one happen next Spring.
While I may be able to pull this off with limited help, I would probably be totally burned out afterward, and that really wouldn't help in building our local community.
Friday's schedule
Hey Jason, I don’t know what you have planned for Friday’s meeting, but if you have time I would like 20-30 minutes for a show-n-tell and to talk about a couple areas where I need some assistance.
Account Registration and Profiles on dug.lv
Even though we are using a CAPTCHA on this site, we are still getting a few fake signups of new users. I'm thinking we need a few quick questions about who the person is that is registering as a way that will provide some content that will feed into our profiles. Collecting this info on registration will help admins filter the fake accounts.
Anyone interested in building this feature? If so, please comment here. What questions and fields should we have?
I was thinking: Real Name, drupal.org name, personal/business website
What else, Thoughts?
LVDUG web site theme
On the LVDUG sandbox web site, members are encouraged to contribute a custom theme. Even though I am not a designer, I created a simple Drupal 7 theme that the group can use for the web site if we so choose. The theme is currently available on my web site. I have no plans to try to submit it to Drupal.org and have it approved or hosted there.
Group meetings
What state do you usually hold your meetings? I know this is a Las Vegas group but I keep seeing Los Angelas everywhere...
Future Development on http://dug.lv
Hey all, I've been caught up on the most recent discussions at our last meeting. I regret that I could not be there, but think I can make arrangements to be at the next one as it may shape up to be quite productive.
Drupal Camp Phoenix
Drupal Camp Phoenix is rapidly approaching. It was scheduled for November 12 at a cost of $6.00 for early registration and $10.00 at the door, but that just changed. Thanks to Acquia, the cost is now free and there will also be a day of free training on the 13th. Go to the website and register to attend.
Second monthly meeting canceled until further notice
The location we have been using for our second monthly meeting (The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf) has started charging $100 a meeting for the use of their room (due to an increased demand). While I do not begrudge them for doing it, and am grateful we were able to use it in the past, I cannot afford the cost. So, until something better comes along, I am canceling those meetings.
Only the first monthly meetings were on the calendar, so it didn't change.
