Hopefully some of you can provide a solution or new insight that help me out here. I'll do my best to explain what I'm trying to do.</p> <p>I want to create 3 or 4 custom content types what will act almost like blocks (the client is calling these things "buckets" so for the rest of this post I will as well). They will contain just a small amount of content, with like a call to action or some sidebar type of content to compliments the body of the node being displayed. And, like one would usually do with blocks, they will be displayed in a sidebar region on the page.</p> <p>What I want is to create a content type for each type of bucket (lets say I have two, a "call to register" bucket and a "contact us" bucket), that way the site maintainer will be able to create as many "contact us" buckets as they want, each with it's own unique content.</p> <p>That's the easy part and I've got no problem setting all that up. Where I'm getting stuck with now is the following.</p> <p>Once I've created my "buckets" how do I set it up so that bucket 1 will only display on page 1 and page 6 and bucket 2 will only display on page 3.</p> <p>What I want is something like the "Page Specific Visibility Settings" that you have with a block, but I don't know how to set that up with a custom content type.</p> <p>I want to associate these buckets to pages rather than nodes because in some cases they need to be displayed on a page that just displays a single node and in other cases they need to be displayed on a page that renders a view.</p> <p>Up to now I've just been delivering this content by creating a block for each bucket needed and setting the page specific visibility setting to get it to display on the appropriate pages. This isn't a good long term solution for me though because it makes it "too difficult" for the client to add more buckets when they want to.</p> <p>I may be trying to tackle this problem from entirely the wrong direction so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12713#comments custom content Ottawa Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:06:20 +0000 thatpatguy 12713 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12376 <p>Hey, just realized i was posting ideas for next Ottawa meet session openers under the post here for the next session (today).

I was buzzing this idea around at the last meetup and people seemed to think it was a good idea but I just wanted to make an official proposal before actually posting questions/issues.</p> <p>I like the idea of making this group a place where local newbs have an environment to learn from the experience of the more senior members. I know that there are times where I have questions that I can post on .org and eventually get the answer I want but it would probably faster/easier to get that info, or discuss it further with someone local.</p> <p>Anyway.. thoughts people?</p> <p>Hopefully I can make it out tomorrow but I've been crazy busy both at work and also at home and though the break would be nice, we'll see if I can afford it. If I don't make it tomorrow have a great meetup everyone!</p> <p>slan,<br /> Pat</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12364#comments Ottawa Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:31:38 +0000 thatpatguy 12364 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11843 <p>There was a great turnout for the last Drupal meetup and we wanted to take this chance to organize another one before summer hits.

I'm interested in seeing if we can't get a few more folks from Ottawa down to the event.

It was amazing to see so many people, i honestly thought we might have only 4 or 5 people out.</p> <p>That being said, I also like the idea of how SNTTT runs - a 20-30 min presentation and then q/a, then general networking after that.</p> <p>Along those lines I'd very interested to see what others are working on in the area - but also, as most of you saw tonight, I do like to talk. I have numerous projects I could discuss covering almost anything Drupal related. Some of the ones that spring to mind are:</p> <ul> <li>my recently released Authentication module (not so much for what it does, but the cool way it does some things that might be useful to others in a wide variety of other module designs)</li> <li>the RSS feed/caching system used to create content on that "well known record label site that shall remain nameless"</li> <li>"best practices" for Drupal site development</li> <li>advanced use of the Views module</li> <li>or whatever people are interested in</li> </ul> <p>[ <a href="mailto:thatpatguy@gmail.com">thatpatguy@gmail.com</a> ]</p> <p>I agree with Peter that the SNTT or DemoCamp format of short presentations followed by Q/A and then beer time is a great format for these types of evenings.</p> <p>As for initial show and tell type presentions I would love to see our first meetings dedicated to maybe some more basic stuff like best practices and discussions of the more popular and powerful modules (like CCK and views for example). For those of us still getting our feet wet I could see these sessions being very valuable, though I appreciate that they could be a bit on the dull side for the more seasoned veterans. And that's my two cents.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> Ottawa Thu, 01 May 2008 05:06:09 +0000 mgifford@drupal.org 11136 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10874 <p>In case you weren't getting enough local Drupal content out of this group.</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11463032865" title="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11463032865">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11463032865</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10874#comments Facebook Ottawa Ottawa Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:32:03 +0000 liquidcms 10874 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10433 <p>There's a critical mass of folks interested in Drupal here in Ottawa that it is time we got together to meet in person and share a beer or two in order to get to know each other a bit better.

While we are still at the very earliest planning phases here, the idea is to hold a 2-3 day open-space style event in Montreal the first weekend of October.</p> <p>While bigger and better than the small meetups of recent years, it isn' t as crazy as a quarter-million-dollar DrupalCon.</p> <p>What is open-space? Well, one way to put it is that it'll be whatever we collective make it to be. The other way that I would describe it is to point you towards the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology">wikipedia entry</a>.</p> <p>We are aiming high here. The event should be oriented around birds of a feather style sessions in a format that allows people to roam from one session to another or to continue working as long as they like on their favorite themes. It should provide real learning opportunities for both developers and users alike and should represent a networking bonanza for Drupal shops, indenpendent developers and existing/potential users. We want to avoid the panelists-in-front-of-audiences format that has become the norm in the bigger events. Oh, and it should be cheap!</p> <p>So start thinking about what you want to see and do there. I, for one, would to see all the other regional Drupal shops show up in force to create a sort of open-marketplace... I'd like to see people showing off their tools, sites and methods... I'd like to see some coding sessions... I'd like to see people discussing what is and isn't working in the community, both locally and globally... oh and an internet connection that works would be nice too ;-)</p> <p>Anyway, like I said these are early days. We are starting the planning now to make sure that we have the time to turn this into one of the coolest events in Drupal history.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10329#comments Montreal &amp; Quebec Ottawa Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:11:58 +0000 omar 10329 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10312 <p>More than ever, the Drupal community is overflowing with interesting stuff to discuss and/or to work on.

The only significant difference is that the top menu bar, which is force-justified in CLF 2 using fussy percentages for each item, is left-justified in this theme. If you really needed the exact look, you could work around this by doing the menu in plain HTML and swapping it via PHP for bilingual sites. Or if anyone knows how to do this within PHPTemplate, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.</p> <p>There's a readme.txt file packaged with the theme that has important information about what was changed and about what you have to do to set it up properly.</p> <p>This theme has only had a very quick test with FF and IE 7 (I just threw it together over the last couple of days), but I'm thinking it should work reasonably well, since it basically just gives you whatever is in the CLF 2 templates plus some basic CMS goodness (dynamic 2 and 3 column layouts etc.). It doesn't give you all the different versions of CLF, but if you need some of those variations, you'll be off to a flying start.</p> <p>I'm a bit hesitant about posting it to the Drupal site since I don't actually have TB approval to go messing with CLF let alone distribute my own version, but if anyone wants a copy you can drop me a line (lee dot hunter at hum dot com).</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/6800#comments CLF theme government Canada Ottawa Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:09:14 +0000 LeeHunter 6800 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/6145 <p>Hey folks!</p> <p>Do you need to build a website? Are you a developer that provides Drupal solutions for clients? Do you represent a Drupal shop that is looking to hire Drupal developers or to establish collaborative relationships with other Drupal shops? If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, this meetup is for you!</p> <p>In the world of open source software the name of the game is "coopetition" and Koumbit embraces this concept completely. We therefore invite you to the first Drupal Open Market in Montreal. The goal of this session is to allow:</p> <p>1) users to find and compare Drupal services providers,<br /> 2) for Drupal services providers to meet other Drupal shops to evaluate potential collaboration,<br /> 3) for Drupal shops to find developers to hire, and<br /> 4) for developers to meet each other, etc.</p> <p>So I'm thinking Friday, the 21st... how does that sound to you folks?

Please don't kill me, this is important. :) There's very little time to get these patches in before code freeze! (June 1)</p> <p>The following patches desperately need reviews from people familiar with internationalization of site content. The goal is to get Drupal 6 to have internationalization right in core:</p> <blockquote><p> - translation of site settings, content types, user profile fields<br /> and so on by storing translations of their string properties with<br /> the locale infrastructure, enabling import/export and simple editing:<br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/141461" title="http://drupal.org/node/141461">http://drupal.org/node/141461</a> (also watch this video:<br /> <a href="http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg" title="http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg">http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg</a> )</p> <p> - translation support for nodes by relating nodes together<br /> (and possibly their revisions): <a href="http://drupal.org/node/142280" title="http://drupal.org/node/142280">http://drupal.org/node/142280</a> </p></blockquote> <p>See <a href="http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2007-05/msg00297.html" title="http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2007-05/msg00297.html">http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2007-05/msg00297.html</a> for the full thread.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/vancouver-island">Vancouver Island</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/4076#comments canada i18n Calgary Civicanada Montreal &amp; Quebec Ottawa Prince Edward Island Toronto Vancouver Vancouver Island Tue, 15 May 2007 17:53:26 +0000 webchick 4076 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/3641 <p>It's on!

The theme/site we have developed has some neat demo capabilities to show various graphic region options as well as an adjustable menu colour demo. The site is also what I would refer to as FULLY bilingual – by this I am referring to not just bilingual content and menus, but URLs as well. The basis for the CLF demo site was a project (non-Drupal) that I did a few years ago for the National Research Council (<a href="http://nrc.allanalog.com" title="http://nrc.allanalog.com">http://nrc.allanalog.com</a>).</p> <p>I guess our next demo site will be targeted at Drupal 5.0 and perhaps CLF 2.0.</p> <p>Look forward to meeting everyone,</p> <p>Peter Lindstrom<br /> <a href="http://www.LiquidCMS.ca">LiquidCMS - Content Management Solution Experts</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/1794#comments common look and feel Government open source Ottawa Tue, 07 Nov 2006 18:34:25 +0000 liquidcms 1794 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/1434 <p><img src="http://groups.drupal.org/files/koumbit_logo.png" align="right">The meetup discussed <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/1333">here</a> is going ahead as planned thanks to support from <a>Koumbit.org</a> and the <a href="http://www.greenparty.ca/">Green Party of Canada</a>.

I guess that it is about time for us to start planning another Montreal meetup.</p> <p>As discussed previously, the next one should probably not be limited to Drupal developers. In fact, I'd like to invite anybody interested in Drupal but put a special focus on NGOs, non-profits and advocacy groups using Drupal... but then that's just me. Who would you like to invite?</p> <p>As for a date... ummm... I dunno, how about the 29th? This would give us time to get the invites out in time for orgs to adjust.</p> <p>As for a place... ummm... I dunno... any suggestions?</p> <p>Finally, as usual I will try to secure a small budget for this activity from <a href="http://www.koumbit.org">koumbit.org</a> gang. Of course, your contributions are welcome too.</p> <p>So, let's get this show on the road :-)</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/montreal-quebec">Montreal &amp; Quebec</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/1333#comments meet-up koumbit hackfest ngo Ottawa Montreal &amp; Quebec Fri, 01 Sep 2006 15:07:34 +0000 omar 1333 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/1106 <p><img src="http://groups.drupal.org/files/koumbit_logo.png" align="right" /><a href="http://www.koumbit.org">Koumbit.org</a> was honoured to host Montreal's first ever Drupal Developers' meetup this last weekend. Having a great tool is only a part of what makes the Drupal community strong. The rest stems from the increasingly vast network of individuals and organisations that are proactively providing each other with technical, logistical, financial and emotional support. While we are still at a relatively early stage in the whole "coopetion" game, there are many reasons to be hopeful and Koumbit is dedicated to helping in any way that it can.</p> <p>About 10 people got together on Friday night at an <a href="http://ilesansfil.org">IleSansFil.org</a> hotspot in Montreal to discuss some of the big issues floating around in the community before settling down in front of our computers at <a href="http://facil.qc.ca">FACIL</a>'s headquarters. The topics covered included:</p> <ul> <li>getting internationalization (i18n) into core,</li> <li>the future direction of Content Construction Kit (CCK),</li> <li>the possilibity of incorporating decision-making mechanisms into Organic Groups (og),</li> <li>the possibility of developing an equivalent to the sifr module without Flash and/or Javascript,</li> <li>progress on the new default theme,</li> <li>patch for sanitizing user provided data on input instead of output,</li> <li>patch for admin option to let users choose password and login immediately,</li> <li>patch for enabling multiple node_access modules to run simultaneously,</li> <li>patch for moving signatures from comment module to user.module and adding some features,</li> <li>a whole lot more that I'm fogetting.</li> </ul> <p>Unfortunately most of <a href="http://drupal.org/profile/companies/Koumbit.org">Koumbit's own developers</a> were out of town and thus didn't get to meet the renowned Drupal heavy-weights who were in attendance such as moshe, chx, webchick, dopry and jjeff.</p> <p>We spent the next day at <a href="http://www.lutopik.org/">Café L'utopik</a>, another IleSansFil hotspot, working on all kinds of stuff. For some it was a chance to help eachother out with patch reviews etc. For others it was a chance to catch up on their work load in the company of their coworkers. For yet others it was a chance to learn some invaluable tricks from the masters. And for at least one, it was a chance to submit his first "real patches" to the Drupal project. Ultimately, however, the meeting itself probably matters more than the actual tasks tackled. Even if people were to only work on personal contracts as opposed to drupal debugging, these events would still represent an excellent opportunity to reinforce the "coop" side of the "coopetition" equation.</p> <p>So, after hosting Montreal's first Drupal Meetup in March and now Montreal's first Developer Meetup, what's next?<br /> Well, one thing is for sure, Koumbit will continue to look for every/any opportunity to support cooperation and collaboration within the Drupal community. My guess is that, amoung other things, we'll continue to host events, alternating between developer focussed and non-developer focussed meetups, as we build up to hosting a full fledged DrupalCon in Montreal... next spring/summer perhaps?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/montreal-quebec">Montreal &amp; Quebec</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/1106#comments Montreal developer meetup hackfest debugging geekend Ottawa Montreal &amp; Quebec Mon, 31 Jul 2006 17:16:12 +0000 omar 1106 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/1104 <p>Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC), an Agency of Industry Canada, is Canada's primary federal laboratory for research and development in advanced telecommunications.</p> <p>If you're looking for an example of a Drupal-powered Government of Canada site with CLF, please visit <a href="http://www.crc.ca" title="http://www.crc.ca">http://www.crc.ca</a>.</p> <p>CRC's Drupal 4.7x site was launched on June 21, 2006.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/ottawa">Ottawa</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/1104#comments Communications Research Centre Canada Ottawa Mon, 31 Jul 2006 15:43:29 +0000 klance 1104 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/965 <p>A chance for Drupal developers from the Montreal to meet and hack together.
