Gainesville Drupal Users Group: Thurs, Jan 10th at 7pm

This is 2013's inaugural meetup! Come join the fun, learn Drupal and have a few beers!

1. Arbitrarily Sorting Content: NodeQueue vs. Draggable Views

Are you looking for a way to arbitrarily order your data? Do you need to do any of the following?

1. Sort your slideshow pictures into an order that only makes sense to you
2. Put your ecommerce products in a specfic order
3. Organize your FAQs the way that you want them

Within the Drupalverse, there are two popular ways to do this: NodeQueue and Draggable Views. Both have different but similar feature-sets. In this presentation, Mike Herchel will walk you through the pros and cons, configurations and use-cases of each module.

2. Roundtable** Discussion

Have something new and cool that you've done? Need help with a particular topic? Stuck on a View? Bring it up at the roundtable**. This is your chance! Bring it up!

In addition, we'll have

• A [free] 20 minute Drupal beginner session/training for any newbies that attend
• A rundown of the top X Drupal modules - this is always one of our favorites
• Roundtable discussion - What have you done or learned in the last month that's worth showing off?
• A happy-hour / social event afterwards - probably at Harry's or The Top (both are within walking distance)! This'll give us a chance to nerd-talk over a beer or three :)

Details:

• When: Thurs January 10th, 2012 7pm-9pm EDT
• Where: the Alachua County Downtown Libary (401 East University Ave) Click for Map.
• Room: We'll be in the Foundation Room, which is up the stairs and to the left (follow the wall until you see the sign. Ask for help if needed).
• Afterwards: We'll be going out for food/beer/socializing at a restaurant/bar within walking distance.
• What to bring: Bring your laptop if you have one, if not, don't worry!

**Disclaimer: The table is actually kind of rectangluar.
