Start: 
2008-09-08 17:30 US/Pacific - 2008-09-08 19:00 US/Pacific

UPDATE: We'll meet the usual place - PariSoMa - 1436A Howard, at 10th St, San Francisco.

The SF Drupal User's Group is meeting next Monday!

We don't have a speaker yet (everyone was away at DrupalCon...)! So please email me or suggest a topic here. You don't have to be an expert or have a presentation prepared. If nothing else, we can have a Szeged feedback session (like news of Webchick becoming the maintainer for Drupal 7!)

Suggestions welcome. Or just come by and we'll talk about what comes up!

Organizers: 

I can talk about the lynda.com videos...

Thanks, Tom and Chris, I'll take you up on those offers. I can also go over a few modules I've discovered that are kinda cool.

I still owe this group a screencast of last month's Patterns demo. I've just been slammed this month (can ya tell? )

As always, first 12 get a beer! Soda always available.

Drupal for Firebug Presentation?

I realize it is a little bit last minute for this presentation, but if there is interest at this or the next SFDUG I would be happy to present this developer module I wrote called Drupal for Firebug. It ties in pretty nicely with Devel module and gives a clean separation between debugging information and your drupal site.

I also was on the scene in Hungary and would be happy to share my experiences.

That would be great. I tell you what - if you either want to a) use my laptop for the demo, b) bring a laptop with some sort of screencasting software, we can record it. Otherwise, we can cover it more at our leisure next time, and just cover a round-up of various topics tonight.

Going for sure!

Hello there, I am an UI designer. I have done a couple of Drupal 5 projects and want to move to Drupal 6. Perhaps you guys can give me some tips to do it painless (I am not that much of a geek). Hope to see you all today!

Thanks,

Gilberto

Wow - a crowd for the last minute Firebug for Drupal presentation. It's all screencaptured - now I just have to get this and last month's Pattern's screencast edited and posted!

BTW - someone left headphones at the meeting. Contact me to get them!

And HHernandez- Yeah, sorry I didn't post the time in the original body, but all events have a Start time at the top of the post. I usually try to make that accurate if nothing else. :-)

Hopefully I can make the next meeting!


Has anyone worked on any of these issues?

activelyOUT - Tue, 2008-09-30 17:49

I don't know if this is the right place, but I would love someone's help in working through the following issues I am facing:

Panels, OG groups, and Domain Access: Tutorials and walk throughs.
Creating panels, mini-panels, and panel nodes. Is this analogous to views or views argument code? I don't understand the argument passing, contexts, or other advanced features.
Doing so in OG groups
Permissions in OG groups vs site permissions
Domain access vs. subdomain

Signup vs ecommerce/Ubercart
Can ecommerce or ubercart be used in place of the signup module? Is there a case study?

Theme issues:
$node->links: How to get certain links to show up where you need them to.
node->signup_view: How to get the signup button to show up where you want it to
Why is IE6 such a pain?
remove status items that appear on the user page (/user) and place them where I want

Modules:
user_import- creates node profiles
viewfield cck- argument passing doesn't seem to work. Ways around this?
CCK permission when using content template- how can you make it work?
account_reminder emails or mass emailing: is there a way to queue mail so your system doesn't overrun?
job_queue- how do you use this without modifying someone else's module?
Creating node profile automatically
Invite module and login toboggin- why do I need to have a validation link sent to someone who I already invited to the site

I am a newbie and these are the issues I am facing. I wonder if I am alone?
