Los Angeles

Welcome L.A. Drupallers!

This site is the hub for Drupal users and their fans in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas to network and collaborate; including Orange County, SGV, SFV, Inland Empire, and the whole of Southern California. We encourage open exchanges of ideas, especially those that take place in our regular face-to-face meetings, while we all promote a greater sense of community for us local "node-monkeys" and "pixel-lovers."

Sign up here, then drop by our other site at LAdrupal.org to see how excellent our community is.

Some of us frequent the live online chat (IRC channel) #drupal-LA and we recommend folks watch videos and archived L.A. meetings.

Inviting viewpoints about using bitnami to download drupal...

Hi:

I have read a lot about the drupal core and contributed modules and am excited and ready to download and begin using it.

But, being very much a beginner, downloading (e.g. modifying via the terminal) and setting up the local development environment for the three website projects I want to create seems daunting so I'm looking for a simple way to do this. (I do have MAMP PRO, but even so, it seems very complicated.)

In the course of my research, I came across an apple.com download...

Trying to migrate a development site to a live site

I'm trying to move my development site to a live site and am following Nicole Bluto's Drupal LA seminar notes on "Migrating a Site from Stage to Live".

I've exported my databased using the Backup and Migrate module.
I created a fresh drupal install on the live site.
I've copied my "sites" folder from the development site into the live site.

At this point she says to create a new database... can I not just import my exported database into the fresh install?

Also, she says to alter the settings.php file at line #92

$db_url='mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

What do I need to do to get Lightbox to work consistently across different browsers?

I am using Lightbox with the Gallery Assist module and it works fine for me on Firefox (version 3.5.4 on a Mac), but when I attempt to view the gallery on Safari (ver. 4.0.3) the Lightboxes do not show up and a small box appears with an image of a camera crossed out.

The lightbox was working before on other browsers, but apparently I've done something to mess it up.

My test site is: http://www.pastorsstudy.com/testsite

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

What modules do I need to create a simple video gallery using views?

Sorry for the newbie question.

I need to be able to upload quicktime video to my site and use views to make a gallery.

For whatever reason, I'm trying different combinations of modules to accomplish this but I can't seem to find a way to manipulate the video properly in views to get it into a gallery.

Help!
