I just found your group this
I just found your group this past month and hopefully will make this meeting in July. What have been past topics? Has anyone done anything yet on maybe Drupal and responsive design or using Drupal as an application framework or maybe how to enhance drupal searching.
These would all be good subjects.
I just recently found out about this group as well, and agreed it would be helpful to see what's already been presented at past meetings.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
We had previously decided
We had previously decided that we would alternate advanced and beginner topics each month. This month is supposed to be a beginner topic.
Previous Topics:
5/10 - Drush Makefiles
3/8 - Base Themes
1/12 - Using Vagrant
Same Story Here.
I would like to see more info on how to trouble shoot failed module installs. Like when you do the install and get the white screen. How do you determine if it failed and how to uninstall a module manually. I have had issues in the past. Maybe this has been covered before but I have never found any info on it. I can give some examples with drupal commerce that I ran into.
This usually indicates there
This usually indicates there is a PHP runtime error. The WSOD, is because display_errors is turned off in PHP. Check your apache error_log. There should be an error message which a function that failed. You can work back words from there.

Along the same lines as rfulchner, I'd love to see how to use an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans with Drupal....like how to step through and find out where something is failing when all you get is a generic watchdog message about something not bootstrapping properly or whatever.

We can have a workshop for
We can have a workshop for this. I have setup Eclipse and Xdebug in the past to get debugging turned on. It is highly useful for stepping code. Not exactly a beginner topic. And the process will vary from platform to platform. I run on linux using a remote server. I think it is easier if you run it locally on windows.
Anyone like that idea?
