I have been messing with this off and on since the last meeting. There is very little documentation for xdebug in quanta so I wasn't really even sure it would work. After much struggle it turns out that it does. For kubuntu the installation is really quite simple. If anyone else is using Quanta and would like more information let me know. Thanks kanani for the demonstration xdebug is very helpful.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/tacoma">Tacoma</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12042#comments php xdebug quanta Tacoma Fri, 06 Jun 2008 06:41:21 +0000 regx@drupal.org 12042 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11716 <p>I am looking for some feedback on a module I created recently.<br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cck_create_install" title="http://drupal.org/project/cck_create_install">http://drupal.org/project/cck_create_install</a></p> <p>On several sites lately I have used cck and views, and usually end up using the cck node types as special node types with supporting modules. The problem is that the cck export module doesn't seem to work very well so it is difficult moving the created cck / taxonomy stuff from the production site to the live site.</p> <p>CCK_Create_Install solves the problem by generating install code for the cck content type and all of the referenced taxonomy.<br /> It has solved my problems, basically I am just looking for code review / suggestions.</p> <p>In working with cck and taxonomy I have also run into several wish list for wich I have created patches where applicable like adding view filter support for the email module and hacks when I was pressed for time. Would any body be interested in a cck_taxonomy_checkboxes module/widget for cck_taxonomy_field or a taxonomy_profile / cck taxonomy_profile module?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/tacoma">Tacoma</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/11716#comments Seattle Tacoma Sat, 24 May 2008 13:03:45 +0000 regx@drupal.org 11716 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11418 <p>Once again we're joining forces with TacLug for the may meeting.

It's called Project SiteFinder and we want you there! Come and be a part of building a fantastic tool that will help the local startup community (and perhaps beyond!) grow and expand. Also get a chance to learn and work with the cool open source content management system "Drupal" with some of the leading experts.</p> <p>About Project Site Finder: As your startup outgrows your basement, dining room, or even that great co-working space and you need to find the right place to take your growing business to the next level, where do you turn? Currently it's a pain. But what if there was a community-maintained site where you could search for and find exactly the types of spaces your looking for, a site with commentary, ratings and recommendations about the locations by other like-minded users?</p> <p>The SiteFinder? project, aims to help you find that great new space, it is a website dedicated to providing a community-maintained, searchable database of space for your new company in the Greater Seattle Area. You can be part of the team that pulls together this website for the Seattle startup community.</p> <p>This project will be built with the Drupal Content Management System and its associated modules. See <a href="http://drupal.org" title="http://drupal.org">http://drupal.org</a> for more. While much of the site's functionality will be achieved through existing modules, we expect that this project will require some additional module development which will be returned to the community.</p> <p>PHP programmers, CSS theming people, business/product planners and community participants are all needed to make this site sing.</p> <p>Project SiteFinder schedule:</p> <pre><code>* 4/6 11:00 am - Drupal 101 Introduction and Tour * 4/6 1:00 pm - Drupal Module Writing primer * 4/6 Remaining Time - Site Sprint Planning * 4/12 12:00 - 6:00 SixHourStartup Site Sprint </code></pre><p>Please RSVP by going to <a href="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder/RSVP" title="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder/RSVP">http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder/RSVP</a> and let us know that you are coming.</p> <p>Location: <a href="http://www.saturdayhouse.org/" title="http://www.saturdayhouse.org/">http://www.saturdayhouse.org/</a></p> <p>Directions: <a href="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/House/SaturdayHouseLocation" title="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/House/SaturdayHouseLocation">http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/House/SaturdayHouseLocation</a></p> <p>For more information, please goto the SiteFinder? project wiki at: <a href="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder" title="http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder">http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/SiteFinder</a></p> <p>And join the Google Group discussion at: <a href="http://googlegroups.com/group/shs-SiteFinder" title="http://googlegroups.com/group/shs-SiteFinder">http://googlegroups.com/group/shs-SiteFinder</a></p> <p>Please bring a laptop, an open mind, and an urge for trying something new, different, and fun.</p> <p>The fine print: Six Hour Startup is an open event that occurs on the second Saturday of each month.

In spite of its name, it's intended to be an open-source festival, not just Linux.</p> <p>At the March SeaDUG meeting, we discussed how to get a Drupal presence going at LinuxFest Northwest. This Wiki page (feel free to edit) is for planning how to do that.</p> <p>There are 3 main ways for us to get involved with LinuxFest. <strong>The sign-up deadline of April 1st has passed now! Several people are giving talks, but we didn't get enough interest for a booth, so we do not have one.</strong></p> <p><strong>Attend</strong></p> <p>Who is attending? Which days? Where are you staying?</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/8242 "> Jennifer</a> - plan to attend both days and stay over night; I just made a reservation at the Travelodge, 101 North Samish Way, (360) 733-8280, $60 per night (plus tax). Carpool anyone? I could take up to 3 other people in my relatively small but fairly comfortable 4-door hatchback (plenty of room for luggage). I live in south Shoreline (near 145th &amp; Aurora). </li> </ul> <p>By the way, there is a <a href="http://www.pogolinux.com/news/lfnw_2008.php">shuttle bus from North Seattle Community College</a> available.</p> <p><strong>Talks</strong><br /> We can give talks about Drupal at LinuxFest. Here are some ideas (some of which came from the SeaDUG March meeting):</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/7909 ">Angus Pratt</a> is already signed up for "0 to 60mph - 5 page Corporate Website In 45 Minutes", which will be an introduction to creating a business web site in Drupal. Since I'm still creating this presentation I would be happy to tailor it to whatever might fit as a more general introduction to Drupal. (Note to Jakob: I would be happy to see Drupal added to the title I just don't quite know who to ask to do that.)</li> <li><a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/8242 "> Jennifer Hodgdon</a> signed up to give "Custom Content Types for Drupal Web Sites" (CCK and Views overview)</li> <li><a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/10574 "> David Hazel</a> Drupal GOTCHA'S - Hardening and Optimizing your Drupal site. With a strong community and robust core, Drupal, an open source content management platform, is a solid foundation on which to build your website, whether it be community or corporate. The community has contributed almost 3500 (3472), this can be a bit overwhelming for someone trying to put up a Drupal site that is fast and secure. This talk will cover some of the easiest, and most important things you can do to improve the performance and security of your site.</li> <li>Ubercart - <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/712 "> Jakob</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Booth</strong><br /> As a non-commercial exhibitor, we can get a free (small) booth at LinuxFest with an Internet connection. If we do that, for maximum effect, we would need to have someone sitting at the booth for the whole festival. If we want to do this, we need to have people sign up to staff the booth for the following shifts:<br /> a) Saturday 9:30 AM (set-up) to noon<br /> b) Saturday noon - 3 PM<br /> c) Saturday 3 PM - 5:30 PM (stow monitors, cables, etc.)<br /> d) Sunday 9:30 AM (setup) to noon<br /> e) Sunday noon - 3 PM<br /> f) Sunday 3 PM - 5:30 PM (cleanup)</p> <p>Who would like to sign up? If we get 6 people signed up, then we can figure out what to display. Sign up here (include which shift(s) you would be willing to do:</p> <p>Definitely willing to staff booth:<br /> 1. <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/8242">Jennifer</a> - one session, any time/date<br /> 2. [[http://groups.drupal.org/user/7909 |Angus Pratt]]<br /> 3. <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/16230">Andrew Becherer</a> - One Sunday session that does not conflict with my speaking schedule.<br /> 4. <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/10574">David Hazel</a> - One Session that does not conflict with my speaking or volunteer schedule.<br /> 5.<br /> 6.</p> <p>Maybe willing to staff booth:<br /> 1. <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/17116">Bram Wessel</a> - Not sure yet if I can get away that weekend, but if I do go, I can man the booth for a shift or two.<br /> 2.<br /> 3.</p> <p><strong>Note: Not enough people signed up to staff the booth, so we are not having one!</strong></p> <p>Booth Ideas for next year:</p> <ul> <li>Drupal Camp promotion</li> <li>Show/tell what Drupal does</li> <li>List Drupal talks happening at LinuxFest</li> <li>Area Drupal user groups to get involved with</li> <li>Pass out promotional materials from those staffing the both, for the whole festival</li> <li>Jakob said he might be able to supply a nice big monitor</li> </ul> <p>We were also offered a room to hosting a Drupal Track. The idea would be to have scheduled talks, and then more informal workshops when presentations aren't going on. Maybe next year, if we have enough interest - the organizers of LinuxFest were open to the idea, but we didn't feel like we had enough people to staff a room for the whole fest, if we couldn't even staff a booth.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/tacoma">Tacoma</a></div> Seattle Tacoma Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:37:22 +0000 jhodgdon@drupal.org 9970 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/9462 <p>This is a joint Tacoma Drupal Users Group, Tacoma Linux Users group meeting.

Another email will<br /> be sent to the Taclug list with additional information including the<br /> specific topics and the location of the workshop.</p> <p>Following the information security workshop we will have a standard<br /> Taclug meeting. Francois Caen has offered to present to the group on a<br /> topic of his expertise. Jeff Maxwell and I will be creating a WiFi<br /> captive portal for a local business using a surplus PC and the<br /> m0n0wall distribution of FreeBSD. Joel Carlson is interested in<br /> experimenting with virtualization technologies. Dave Hazel is<br /> interested in working with others interested in the Drupal web content<br /> management system.</p> <p>I'm going to open mailing list threads on all 5 of the topics for the<br /> November meeting so we can coordinate and gauge interest, I apologize<br /> for the flood of email. We have two rooms available to us for the<br /> November meeting, a large classroom and a large conference room, both<br /> with projectors and wireless internet access.</p> <p>Useful Links</p> <p>Taclug Wiki:<br /> <a href="http://www.taclug.org" title="http://www.taclug.org">http://www.taclug.org</a></p> <p>Institute of Technology:<br /> <a href="http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/" title="http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/">http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/</a></p> <p>Don McLane: <a href="http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/about_us/faculty_detail.cfm?employee_id=252" title="http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/about_us/faculty_detail.cfm?employee_id=252">http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/tech/about_us/faculty_detail.cfm?employ...</a></p> <p>Cybersecurity Exercise Informaiton:<br /> <a href="http://andrewfry.blogspot.com/2007/06/briefing-on-cybersecurity-excercise.html" title="http://andrewfry.blogspot.com/2007/06/briefing-on-cybersecurity-excercise.html">http://andrewfry.blogspot.com/2007/06/briefing-on-cybersecurity-excercis...</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/tacoma">Tacoma</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/6883#comments Seattle Tacoma Fri, 02 Nov 2007 04:11:26 +0000 kanani 6883 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/6786 <p>On Oct 20, David gave a presentation of the Lullabot topic on Drupal optimization. Opcode Cache was mentioned as a way to improve performance.</p> <p>I found this information:</p> <p>Opcode Cache for Dummies<br /> <a href="http://devbee.com/opcode_cache_for_dummies" title="http://devbee.com/opcode_cache_for_dummies">http://devbee.com/opcode_cache_for_dummies</a><br /> PHP is an interpreted language. This means that each time a PHP generated page is requested, the server must read in the various files needed and "compile" them into something the machine can understand (opcode). A typical Drupal page requires more than a dozen of these bits of code be compiled.<br /> Opcode cache mechanisms preserve this generated code in cache so that it need only be generated a single time to server hundreds or millions of subsequent requests.<br /> Enabling opcode cache will reduce the time it takes to generate a page by up to 90%.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>Detecting Opcode Cache with PHPinfo()<br /> Look for APC or eAccelerator (a fork of Turck MMCache)<br /> Example:<br /> eAccelerator<br /> eAccelerator support enabled<br /> Version 0.9.5<br /> Caching Enabled true<br /> Optimizer Enabled true<br /> Memory Size 16,777,180 Bytes<br /> Memory Available 16,770,416 Bytes<br /> Memory Allocated 6,764 Bytes<br /> Cached Scripts 1<br /> Removed Scripts 0<br /> Cached Keys 0</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>APC issues with Drupal<br /> <a href="http://us3.php.net/apc" title="http://us3.php.net/apc">http://us3.php.net/apc</a><br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/48946" title="http://drupal.org/node/48946">http://drupal.org/node/48946</a></p> <p>Boost performance, throughout with opcode cache software<br /> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/2929" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/2929">http://groups.drupal.org/node/2929</a></p> <p>PHP caches<br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/2603" title="http://drupal.org/node/2603">http://drupal.org/node/2603</a><br /> * PHP Accelerator<br /> * After Burner<br /> * Zend Accelerator<br /> * APC : Alternative PHP Cache<br /> * eAccelerator<br /> * Turck MMCache</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>A beginner's guide to caching data<br /> <a href="http://www.lullabot.com/articles/a_beginners_guide_to_caching_data" title="http://www.lullabot.com/articles/a_beginners_guide_to_caching_data">http://www.lullabot.com/articles/a_beginners_guide_to_caching_data</a></p> <p><hr /></p> <p>All of the above is only scratching the surface of how to use caching.<br /> For more reading see "Pro Drupal Development."

The group is interested in real world PHP applications. The presentations could be spread over the next few months.</p> <p>The next meeting is November 1.<br /> Calendar: <a href="http://php.meetup.com/49/calendar/" title="http://php.meetup.com/49/calendar/">http://php.meetup.com/49/calendar/</a></p> <p>For topics of interest see this discussion: <a href="http://php.meetup.com/49/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3623161" title="http://php.meetup.com/49/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3623161">http://php.meetup.com/49/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3623161</a></p> <p>The first presentation could be the upcoming Drupal barn raising combined with a quick overview of Drupal. (Gregory, are you available?)</p> <p><strong><br /> If anyone is available for the Nov 1st PHP meeting, please post a response by Tuesday. Pick your favorite topic.<br /> </strong></p> <p>I think PHP developers are interested in many of the same topics as Drupalers; they just need the right exposure to get involved.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> John Walling</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/tacoma">Tacoma</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/6783#comments Seattle Tacoma Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:08:16 +0000 jdwalling 6783 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/6389 <p>The next TacDug meeting is scheduled for Saturday October 20th, 2007 (third Saturday of the month) at 12:30 PM.

We set the implementation date for November 10, 2007 - 11AM to 4PM, location to be decided.</p> <blockquote><p>A barn raising is a one or two-day event during which a community comes together to assemble a barn for one of its households. A certain amount of preparation is done beforehand. _{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_raising} </BLOCKQUOTE></p> <p>Let's work on creating an install profile for brochureware websites that would bring small organizations into the Drupal community.
