A LonDUG Volunteer Project
After chewing on the idea a bit more, I see a couple of reasons that my "Build-and-run-a-Drupal-Gardensish-site for London NGOs" is not a good project for us to take on.
September Meeting Follow-up
Hi LonDUGers;
I really enjoyed the meeting last night, and not just for the refreshments!
Dwight Follick's presentation on civiCRM and Drupal integration in a real use-case was very interesting and useful, and I'm looking forward to our move to regular monthly session, every 4th Tuesday of the month ... If I have the date right?
The conversation about finding the right mix of code and no-code content for a meeting was also interesting, and sparked a couple of ideas on how this might work:
Need custom module
I just posted this. I want to give my local DUG members the opportunity to consider.
Next Meetup?
I hope everyone is having a great summer. Just wondering when the next meetup would be, and who we could drag in this time to speak.
Here are some things I'd like to hear someone talk about:
- Using hooks
- Drush
- Simple Module Development
- Geo Location
- Mobile Development
Have a great weekend.

Freelance / Contract Drupal & Ubercart Developer | Vesta Parenting Inc.
I am looking for a reliable, experienced, and trustworthy Drupal Developer with Ubercart experience to help set up my online store on a contract basis. The online store is complementary to my bricks and mortar store. I would also like someone who can provide support on an ad-hoc basis for issues that may arise with module updates, features I want to add, etc . I currently have a store site started and have been adding products, but my previous developer became too busy to complete it. I am in St. Thomas and would prefer to have someone in the London or KW area.
Has anybody had any experience with the Location module?
Hi everyone,
I am running into some problems using Location module with Views to create a proximity search. Does anybody have experience with doing this?
I'm using the Location module 7.x-3.x-dev with Views 7.x-3.0-rc1.
I have opened an issue under Location module if you want to see a more detailed report: http://drupal.org/node/1230072
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Who in London wants to participate in some in person Drupal Training in LONDON in JUNE?
Hello London Drupalers.
My name is Anne Stefanyk and I work with a team of Drupal Trainers to provide in person FUN Drupal Training from the West to the East coasts of Canada.
I am posting in groups to gauge interest in running Drupal training in London. We recently ran Drupal Training in Toronto and it was a hit! We actually had quite a few London folk come to the training and since reach out for more training! As we need a min number of people to run the sessions I thought I would post a note in Groups to see if we can get the min numbers to come and learn more DRUPAL.
June Meeting Plans
Let's discuss the June meeting here...
- Should we have one?
- Where should it be?
- What day/date?
- What agenda and/or tutorials should we have?
Image Slider Question
Hello. I have some web development experience but fairly new to Drupal.
How do I create an image slider of my "Featured" Content using EasySlider 1.1.7 and Views?
I setup JQuery-EasySlider on my homepage template page--front.tpl.php and hardcoded some image links, something like below:
<?php
drupal_add_js('jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#slider").easySlider({
auto: true,
continuous: true
});
});','inline');
?><
div id="slider">
<
ul>
<?php
print $directory;
?>/images/01.jpg" alt="" />Intro to Drupal Session
I am willing to run an intro to Drupal session in our boardroom in the near future.
Please comment on this thread if you are interested in attending -
I will then post an eventbrite event outlining a date/time that hopefully works for everyone.
feedback on my first Drupal site.
Well I did it. I finally published my first Drupal site. I am fishing for some reassurance that it is not bad for a rookie. I am not a PHP coder, but understand it some since I can code a bit in VBA and ASP.
Roughly 160 modules (!), including Ubercart.Hosted on Hot Drupal. This is a low volume site for my in-laws family business--very niche. Yes rock gardening fanatics readily buy their plants online/mailorder and have them shipped in a box.

One blog is a feed.
Product pages use Display Suite
Learning Sessions
Not sure if I speak for more of the LonDug people, but one of my favourite things is learning new things about Drupal. I think a huge benefit to this group will be the knowledge sharing aspect.
I can't remember all the sticky notes that were on the windows, but here are a few things I would like to learn from some of the more advanced users:
- Module Development (the use of hooks, and some of the higher end programming required to write a custom module)
- Mobile sites and applications
- Site Optimization and caching for better performance
