User group meeting

Greetings!

The last meet up of 2011 is next week. Drupal 7 started off the year and 11 months later we're wrapping up with 5-minute lightning talks featuring your favorite D7 modules.

If you've never presented at user group, this is a great chance! Choose something you've enjoyed using. Nothing is too obvious. With over 2,922 Drupal 7 modules, sharing your personal experience is useful to the group! A laptop (with a mouse :) and projector will be set up for you to use if your talk is Internet-accessible or you can set up your own.

Sign up in the comments or just come prepared!

Meeting Details:
Date: Wednesday, December 14
Time: 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. (after the meeting, we head to Lucky Lab, 19th and Quimby, for drinks and conversation!)
Location: OpenSourcery offices (1636 NW Lovejoy St. Portland, OR 97209)

FullCalendar Module

I'm excited about drag-and-drop appointment scheduling in Drupal!

FullCalendar is an alternative to the familiar Drupal Calendar module: http://drupal.org/project/fullcalendar I'll give a quick overview of setting up a Site event calendar.

Thanks to everyone for great

Thanks to everyone for great presentations and questions last night!

I asked timplunkett and aspilicious about the issue where changes aren't saved when you move an event in month view then navigate away with the upper-right pager arrows. It's eliminated by setting Ajax to On in the Advanced settings of the FullCalendar display in views.

Also, in answer to the question of why you might want to use the Calendar module instead: it comes with a built-in mini-calendar and year view.

List of lightning talks?

It would be great to have a list of lightning talks, especially the modules mentioned, for those of us scratching our heads wondering, "now what was that module again?" (Or for those of us who couldn't make it...)

If you presented, or you took notes, could you leave a comment with any info you have on the lightning talk topics?

Much appreciated,
Amber
