SF Bay Drupal Users Group September 14th 2009 6pm 1436 Howard Street SF
I am back from Paris Drupalcon and ready for another AWESOME evening with the San Francisco Drupal Users group.
DrupalCon will be in San Francisco in April 2010!! [ http://drupalconsf2010.org ] This is just great news for the Drupal Community, we start off this month with a presentation about how we really want to engage the local Drupal community and come together to help with the sponsorship / planning of this event.
This month we are going to look at Solr search and how its used to drive large content sites. Solr is a very powerful faceted search technology which integrates very well with Drupal.
First off we will have a Tech Session on Solr & Views Basics and then How to apply Solr & Views to a real site: the new MothersClick.
The technical session will be led by Scott Reynolds “Sr. Engineer & Developer”, ParentsClick Network and the maintainer of the Solr Views module which he has been working on. This module hooks Solr results into views. Scott will show us how this can be used on your web site.
For the Showcase site this month Theodore Serbinski Chief Technology Officer ParentsClick Network, a division of Lifetime Digital will do a case study of the new MotherClick web site, which is powered Drupal and Solr. This is a very high visibility site and we will learn why Solr was used and how the site was setup. He will also show off the way Solr Views is used in the site.
The session content is meant to really show is the power of Solr.
So please come on down and join us this is going to be a GREAT evening!!

Good Show!
I tell everyone I know with even the slightest interest in Drupal about this event ... great resource .. .. and the Parisoma time/share space (ditto).
And now the question: is there any way to add a floor to the year selection in the date element in a Drupal form? I'm working on a project that breaks this year and being able to search for resources from the 60's doesn't really add value...
The context I'm trying to customize is a date form element as in...
$form['startdate'] = array(
'#type' => 'date',
'#title' => 'Created From...',
'#required' => FALSE,
'#description' => 'Earliest creation date. (PST)'
);
Thanks in advance.. Dave.
P.S.: it wouldn't hurt for you to attend the hugely popular PHP meetup in c|net/bs interactive -- I hear a Drupal presentor is in the queue and the presentations are in general top notch.

#element_validate
I think you can have #element_validate function to add floor to the year. You can see an example here http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference....
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Thanks-- but
The correct url (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference....) doesn't contain an example you describe; further I doubt that a validation filter would actually constrain the choices presented by the input element. I am speaking from craven ignorance; but this doesn't seem in keeping with the way most code demarcates its functionality.
The functionality I seek would be somewhere in the part of the pipe that forms the input element in the first place, not the part designed to process the elements data after the form is submitted.
Please let me know if I am shooting down the right solution.

I see, the URL is getting
I see, the URL is getting truncated after certain number of characters. You can visit http://api.drupal.org/api and select Forms API Reference at bottom.
This is the reference page to implement form. You can find out there the Date form element's allowed attributes. Only Radio and Select elements can take #options using which you can define the range of values to show up in the actual input form....May be you implement your 'date' element using Select element instead...
