Help needed with multi step form
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with a multi step form. The form is basically a questionaire with radio buttons (radios) to select the answers (max 3 choices). When the submit button is clicked on the first page, the radio buttons all seem to stay at their default value. I'm using krumo with the Devel module to inspect the variables. Code below...forgive the messy code...still in development!
<?php
/**
* Valid permissions for this module
* @return array An array of valid permissions for the festivalmanager module
*/
function festivalmanager_perm() {
Hyperlink job post may be of interest to up and coming Drupal dev?

Cork meetup April 25th 2012
After getting some interest in a Cork meetup we are going to get it going again starting Wednesday April 25th 2012 at 7pm.
The venue is Souths Bar at the Imperial hotel (http://g.co/maps/5thr8). It's central, won't be overly busy and does not play loud music which were the three criteria I felt were most important. If anyone has an alternative venue that meet these criteria or has a space they could offer to meet in let us know.
Any questions just comment bellow.
See you there!

Drupal in a day!
We're often asked by clients and potential clients if there are any courses which will give them a good hands-on view of Drupal, what it does, and how to do it.
And now we can say, yes there is.
Aside from bespoke training which we do on a regular basis for clients, we've decided to provide a public training day which is open to anybody.
The course presented is Acquia's "Drupal in a day" , and participants will receive a full course manual.

If anybody wanted to sponsor prizes, that would be good too.

DrupalCamp Dublin 2012
Registration and session submissions for DrupalCamp Dublin are now open.
Lead Programmer | Private
What we are looking for is custom coding with simple data integration between sites - via existing APIs. Our system is at a "near-complete" stage of development, and we are looking for solid completion.
We require an individual that can work independently, with occasional oversight by us, and with the necessary skill-sets and self-motivation to complete the project now.
The successful candidate will need to perform, as a minimum, the following steps:
1. Assess where the system currently stands;
Great Success
Thanks to everyone who came along last night. I think it went pretty well. I want to keep the momentum up so here's some ideas. We talked about having short discussions about modules we'd been working with recently. I'd like to use this thread to allow people to propose or request sessions. If you've recently done something awesome or are trying to but getting a bit stuck, then post here and we'll see if we can have a chat about it.
I heard there was a good turnout at the Galway meetup last night too. Fair play all.
Thanks to everyone that came and we hope to see more of you next week.
Theme development workflow
Hi folks
I've been working on several Omega themes using a combination of Firebug, TextWrangler & Filezilla. My workflow is to tweak CSS with Firebug until it looks good, then open the CSS file in Filezilla (with TextWrangler) and save the edits back to server. No source control for this.
I'd be interested to hear what other peoples tools and workflows look like. I'm on a Mac (Leopard) and am looking around for a more functional Mac-based CSS editor if anyone has a favourite.

Dublin Drupal Pub Night
Heather has organised a fantastic "Drupal in a Day" training event (http://groups.drupal.org/node/210478) on Friday, so I thought it might be a good opportunity for the Dublin Drupal community to get together that evening.
Given that the training is taking place in ICS, I propose we meet nearby in the Schoolhouse bar on Northumberland St (http://www.schoolhousehotel.com/) starting from 5pm. The bar does excellent food too in case anyone is interested.
See you there!
PHP Web Developer | wripl
About Us:
Personalisation on the web is an exciting area of development. We are an energetic start-up company growing out of the Computer Science department of Trinity College Dublin. We're looking for a web developer to join our growing team to help build the next genreation of personalised web services.
What we're looking for:
We want to hire someone that has a passion for web and open source, someone who wants to work on a new technology, and not just another web app. We're looking for a self motivated, all round PHP developer with 2+ years experience. The ideal candidate would have experience writing modules/plugins for Open Source CMSs. The main role would be working on the consuming side of our API, but it's hoped that the successful candidate would have an interest in both ends. While this is initially a 6 month contract, we see the successful candidate staying on as additional funding becomes available.
