And, I would like to set-up a meet-up to get things possibly going again within this group. I am willing to do a topic on my Google Summer of Code Project on Drupal (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/validation_api">Validation API</a>). I understand there were two others from this group in the GSoC (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/8805">kyle_mathews</a> and <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/17224">jtsnow</a>) that may want to add into my presentation as well. Plus, maybe we could have someone present one of their recent Drupal websites (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/315">kmillecam</a> just talked about working in the Novell's Drupal Community and <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/13267">amariotti</a> got a lot of comments about the Davis Applied Technology College project). Hopefully, I am not putting pressure on any of you to actually commit to do anything, but your topics would be very interesting.</p> <p>I want to hear everyone's feedback on the interest in another meet-up. I would assume that we would be meeting up on a Saturday morning again, since that seemed to be the best time for the majority. Also, I am assuming that we would be meeting in SL County as well. We might be able to get a location like SLCC or Sandy Library again, as well. However, I would be willing to go to Utah or Davis County if there is enough support. Lets hear the feedback.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/15073#comments Utah Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:12:52 +0000 TapocoL@drupal.org 15073 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/15071 <p>Today, (September 19) Symantec took our advice (against their better judgement), gambled and let us install the "Talk Like a Pirate" module (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/pirate" title="http://drupal.org/project/pirate">http://drupal.org/project/pirate</a>) on their "Juice" community at <a href="http://juice.altiris.com" title="http://juice.altiris.com">http://juice.altiris.com</a></p> <p>It's been a blast!</p> <p>If you read this on the 19th, drop by and read how the filter changes regular posts into "pirate speak".</p> <p>If you missed the event, here's a sample post from one of the users:</p> <p><b>Wow.

I <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/13513">posted on our group page</a> a while ago regarding a potential module that would integrate Salesforce's Lead Form into the Webform module that we've all grown to love. Well... I was able to get in contact with <a href="http://drupal.org/user/222421">a developer from Ohio</a>, who was excellent to work with, that did just that for us.</p> <p>What made it easier was the fact that a <a href="http://drupal.org/project/sugarwebform">SugarCRM Webform Integration</a> module was already out there for Drupal. He used that as a starting point and was able to make a module that will be used by Salesforce/Drupal Users for many years to come.</p> <p>For those of you that aren't familiar with the SugarCRM module it utilizes the Webform Module and allows you to create forms that will then map to your SugarCRM account. The Salesforce.com module does the exact same thing. Under the advanced settings for each field is a "SalesForce Field Key" drop-down where you will select which field it needs to be mapped to.</p> <p><img src="http://groups.drupal.org/files/salesforcefieldkey.jpg"></p> <p>The settings page under Site Config. is used to enter the username and password (with Salesforce Key) of the user that will be tied to the Leads that come from the form. It can also be used to add more data elements to the drop-down on the Advanced Settings page for each field.</p> <p><img src="http://groups.drupal.org/files/settings.jpg"></p> <p>So far the module is not "stable" on the project page, but I have it running on our new website and so far everything is working perfectly.</p> <p>Link to project page: <a href="http://drupal.org/project/salesforcewebform" title="http://drupal.org/project/salesforcewebform">http://drupal.org/project/salesforcewebform</a></p> <p>Anyone have comments or suggestions for this module?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14250#comments integration SalesForce webform Salesforce Enterprise CRM Integration Utah Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:31:38 +0000 amariotti 14250 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13336 <p><a href="http://2008.utosc.com/pages/home/">Utah Open Source Conference 2008</a></p> <p>I will most likely be attending this, and I thought I would pass on the information to the group.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13336#comments Utah Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:19:34 +0000 TapocoL@drupal.org 13336 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12862 <p>Some information from the handbook:<br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/247945" title="http://drupal.org/node/247945">http://drupal.org/node/247945</a></p> <p>And this page lists people called Local ambassadors -- people who have volunteered to help local groups organize Drupal events:<br /> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/local-ambassadors" title="http://groups.drupal.org/local-ambassadors">http://groups.drupal.org/local-ambassadors</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12862#comments Utah Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:08:16 +0000 kyle_mathews 12862 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12489 <p>Established Internet Advertising Agency is looking to migrate existing high traffic web properties to drupal.

My main focus is to have a blog where I can share experiences with Drupal and anything else having to do with web development. My other focus is to be able to have a place for my clients (the few that I have) to login to submit feature requests or changes that need to be made on their sites. I'm using the case tracker module to track those, and am hoping that it will help keep requests from my clients stay more organized. OK, that's enough talking... here's the site:</p> <p><a href="http://amariotti.com" target="_blank"></p> <h1>amariotti.com</h1> <p></a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10514#comments Utah Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:01:00 +0000 amariotti 10514 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10513 <p>For our last meet-up that we were organizing I put an item on there to discuss a shopping cart alternative for Ubercart. Since then they released their first stable version of the software. It's called <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com">Magento</a>, and it is an open source project similar to Drupal (obviously not as big as Drupal yet, though). This came up on my news feed today:</p> <blockquote><p>As part of Google Summer of Code ‘08, a Magento / Drupal integration project is getting off the ground. <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/9939#comment-33808">A detailed proposal has been posted on the Groups.Drupal site</a>, and the abstract is included below:</p> <blockquote><p>Magento has just released production ready version 1.0 and has comprehensive support ecosystem for its users. Current existing ecommerce modules for Drupal either do not have production ready release or do not support Drupal 6. Hence, integration between Drupal and Magento will be the powerful combination and will drive embracing of Drupal 6 even more.</p> <p>This project aims to tightly integrate Magento into Drupal by coming up with a Magento module and a few essential native Magento blocks. The integration is elaborate up to the level of rendering Magento as a Drupal page.</p></blockquote> <p>There has been a lot of interest by the Magento and Drupal communities for such an integration to take place. This is certainly going to be picking up a lot of steam in the weeks ahead.</p></blockquote> <p>I think that this is a great idea for the Drupal community. Personally, I like Ubercart, but feel as though it is very module heavy. The one site that I installed it on doesn't run nearly as fast as it should be. If the developers can build some awesome modules/blocks to integrate with it then that solution could blow eCommerce and Ubercart out of the water. Since it runs on PHP and MySQL it could be installed on the same server and run independently. I think this could turn into something really incredible. We'll see what this summer holds in store!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10513#comments magento ubercart Utah Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:49:14 +0000 amariotti 10513 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10149 <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10149#comments Utah Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:56:51 +0000 cachilupi 10149 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/9781 <p>So I contacted SLC Public Library about reserving a room for Sat March 29th, and they don't have any openings till late in the afternoon.

Attributes on Ubercart are the dropdown selectors on each product page to specify which type of product you want (i.e. color, size, etc that would see if you were buying a t-shirt). Anyway, on this site that I did there are multiple attribute dropdowns on some of the products. My question is: how hard would it be to tell Drupal to remove some of the other attributes based on the dropdown?

A couple ideas that were discussed quite a bit were multisite configuration, SCORM, and probably more that Im just spacing right now. A couple of ideas that I have thought could be helpful as well are Drupal 6, and AJAX in Drupal.</p> <p>If we could have someone with some good experience on one of those topics, then we could have them put together a mini-presentation. Then we could turn it into a discussion type setting, where we give our own concepts or ask questions. I have been working with Drupal 6 somewhat on my own projects. If Drupal 6 is a topic wanted, I could try a little presentation on changes from Drupal 5 to 6. However, I am personally really interested in the multisite configuration, since I have not attempted to set that up yet.</p> <p>Hopefully, we could also include maybe presentations of a completed project by a member (or members) once a month as well. See some of the custom modules created, themes created, contributed modules used, and other items of interest.</p> <p>What thoughts do other people have to try to get this group up and going consistently?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/utah">Utah</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8894#comments meetup Utah Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:22:21 +0000 TapocoL@drupal.org 8894 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/8817 <p>Hey Utah Drupallers,</p> <p>During Saturday's meetup we all thought it would be nice if everyone would update their profiles (here on groups.drupal.org) so we can network and share opportunities .</p> <p>So if you haven't already, click the "My account" tab above and let us know a little about ya!

I'm down in Spanish Fork and would love to see how many users are down here in Utah County. I saw the poll and saw there were quite a few. I think it's great to get have a big meeting every so often, but would anyone like to meet up that is from Utah County?</p> <p>I use to live up in Logan and there is no way I would have come clear to Salt Lake for a Drupal meeting. I wonder if it would be smart to break our Group into sub groups and potentially have at least quarterly meetups? This might help grow the group and even create better participation. Maybe I'm missing some smaller Groups that have been put together. I saw a Southern Utah Group I believe.</p> <p>I know in Utah County I already have a location in American Fork that has been approved for Drupal Meetings and most likely they will be a major Utah Drupal contributor when they can. Let me know what you think.

Many of the attendees are making a living managing Drupal sites for companies, educational institutions, and political parties.</p> <p>We all agreed to a regular schedule of meetings going forward.

The dropout epidemic in the United States disproportionately affects young people who are low-income, minority, urban, single-parent children attending large, public high schools in the inner city. But the problem is not unique to young people in such circumstances. Nationally, research puts the graduation rate between 68 and 71 percent, which means that </i><i><b>almost one-third of all public high school students in America fail to graduate</b></i><i>.”<br /> <br></i><i>Source: The Silent Epidemic, A report by Civic Enterprises in association with Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, March 2006</i></p> <p class="western">Read that again. One third of all public high school students in America fail to graduate. In 2003, there were 3.5 million people between the ages of 16 and 25 who did not have a high school diploma and were not enrolled in school. When the age range is expanded to include all adults, there are between 40 and 60 Million people in America who did not graduate from high school.</p> <p class="western">You might think most of these people just aren't very smart. You'd be wrong. 70% of the dropouts surveyed in <i>The Silent Epidemic</i> said they were confident they could have graduated if they were inspired to work harder in school. 32% had to leave to get a job and make money for their family. 26% became parents. And 22% left because they had to care for a family member.</p> <p class="western">One of The American Academy's primary goals is to help these people earn a diploma and as a result enhance their lives. We are an online high school that provides flexible, affordable, accredited courses and a complete, accredited U.S. diploma program to high school-age and adult students worldwide.
