User group meeting
Hi All,
Hope that everyone had a great holiday season and a chance to recharge for the new year!
Evolving Web would like to offer our offices for a meetup next Wednesday at 18h. (300, rue du Saint-Sacrement, Suite 204, Square Victoria metro)
We'll be presenting the new MUHC website (case study to come), which uses Features, Context, and Spaces to allow admins to manage mini-sites.
I believe that Omar will also want to continue the discussion of organizing the Montreal community towards being able to host a DrupalCon.
Aside from that, it'd be great to hear what new projects everyone has on their plate for 2010!
Cheers,
Miriam

I won't be able to make it,
I won't be able to make it, I'm afraid. I didn't know you guys did the MUHC site - nice job. I used to work there actually. I noticed that the top right front page block of hospital names is showing links to node/xxx instead of the alias. Might want to fix that view :)
I like your search drop-down thingie - how was that done, and how do you make it search only the selected parts?
How'd it go? :)
What'd you guys talk about? Sorry I couldn't make it. :( Headed to LinuxConf Australia next week, and there's a Drupal 7 alpha on Friday. EEEEEE.
All McGill All The Time
We started off with Omar giving us an overview of what has been happening with trying to get Drupalcon 2012 in Montreal which led into a discussion about having more drupalcamps between now and then, possibly here, possibly in Ottawa, possibly like the last one, possibly something different. No firm decisions were made except that we definitely want more.
After that Andrew gave us a brief overview of McGill's first live Drupal site, http://aoc.mcgill.ca which was followed by Alex giving us a longer overview of the new MUHC site done by Evolving Web. I left towards the end of that so someone else can take it from there :)
Projects mentioned: spaces, og, og_spaces, panels, features, drush, adaptive_theme, atrium, storm, admin, admin2 and probably others.
Sorry I didn't make it
Sorry I didn't make it either. Blame Drupal -- we were working on a site launch for this morning (http://www.placepourtoi.ca). I'm disappointed to have missed the MUHC talk, and the talk about DrupalCon 2012.
Have a great time down under, Angie! Great work with the release today!
Search customizations
incrn8:
The search drop-down in the header is only available if the user has JavaScript on. When the user selects one of the items in the drop-down, a "edit-active-tab" hidden field is set, and the search form is submitted.
On the server side, we do a form alter on the search form, in which we read that hidden field's value, and redirect the user accordingly, for example:
Click "Articles"
"edit-active-tab" is set to "articles"
redirect to http://muhc.ca/search/apachesolr_search/?filters=type%3Aarticle
The tab interface in the search results themselves is accomplished by making extensive use of apachesolr's hooks.
