http://groups.drupal.org/australia Australian Drupal Users Group en http://groups.drupal.org/node/14054 <p>We're in the process of building up a sizeable group of Drupal users up here in Coffs Harbour, and a number (&gt; 1, even) of businesses and volunteers developing websites in Drupal, so I've been thinking it's time to set up a local Drupal user/developer group here, initially only online but probably with semi-regular meetings before long. My first thought was to set up a site for it, but then I thought that's really what groups.drupal.org is for, so I created a group for it (still pending moderation). Then, just as I was congratulating myself on my initiative, my wife Allison pointed me to <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/6835">this discussion from last year</a>, which as far as I can see reached no firm conclusion on the wisdom or otherwise of regional groups on groups.drupal.org.</p> <p>The objectives of this particular group are to:</p> <ul> <li>Do the normal social/business network-y stuff that groups on gdo do,</li> <li>Provide a support forum that relieves me of the burden of being the single local guru everybody turns to (and nobody wants to pay), but doesn't require throwing non-technical users to the drupal.org forums,</li> <li>Reassure potential local clients that there is more than the one crackpot in town that supports Drupal, and a wide range of users that are (generally) happy with it.</li> </ul> <p>I agree that fragmenting the Australia group would being a bad thing, but I expect any developers in the Coffs group would be members of the Australia group as well, and know how to post or cross/post appropriately, and I think that splitting a regional group's online presence away from drupal.org entirely is a more serious case of fragmentation. I also think that in this particular case it's a complementary group with a somewhat different purpose rather than a regional subgroup. I'd like to avoid treading on anybody's toes, but given that the last discussion didn't seem to result in any agreed policy, I'd like to rephrase the question from "are regional groups a wise idea?" to:</p> <p>"Would anybody be seriously upset/offended/angered if there was a Coffs Harbour regional group on gdo?"</p> <p>A single "yes", and I'll happily set up a little site on another domain.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14054#comments Australia Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:58:04 +0000 Matthew Davidson 14054 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13977 <p>This is an information page about the <a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=113631229138619774404.0004544d30cb37533685b&amp;ll=-33.760882,145.678711&amp;spn=23.435855,36.430664&amp;z=5">Drupal in Australia</a> Google map.</p> <p><strong>Key:</strong></p> <ul> <li><img src="http://urbits.com/_drupal/company-base.png" />Drupal company in cyberspace</li> <li><img src="http://urbits.com/_drupal/drupal-house.png" />Drupal company office location</li> <li><img src="http://maps.google.com/intl/en_au/mapfiles/ms/micons/man.png" />Freelance Drupal developer, themer</li> <li><img src="http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal3/icon21.png" />Significant employer of Drupal developers</li> <li><img src="http://urbits.com/_drupal/design.png" />Services company providing Drupal as option</li> <li><img src="http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal2/icon27.png" />Regular social meeting place for Drupallers</li> </ul> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>All additions to this map are reviewed by Em Space.

Other users can view this and then submit a 'project proposal' (or a solution) related directly to that node. So in other words is it possible to link nodes together into groups where the initial project request is a parent node and then replies or proposals for that project can be added, from either an existing node or created specifically for that project.</p> <p>I have a set budget, and I want to get started ASAP. Site, Hosting, and design are already in place. I only really want to work on improving the functionality and my existing drupal skills can't help me solve this functionality problem.</p> <p>If you are interested feel free to contact me and ask any further questions.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> Australia Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:05:22 +0000 whathits 13714 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13681 <p>About the Company</p> <p>This digital branding agency have been around for over 15 years, a lifetime in the digital age!

This project is entirely for customising the appearance of the site; no work on modules will be required.</B></p> <p><B>The goals of the project are:</B></p> <ul> <li>A theme for the website that gives the website a distinctive, personalised character. This is most likely best achieved through use of small graphics and icons that match the visual theme, as well as good CSS styling. I have a downloaded theme on the site at the moment, but it looks too generic. It needs more personality and individuality.</li> <li>I have the main website logo in mockup form, but I'm no artist and it will need to be redrawn to add professionalism.</li> <li>Integration of other related images I will provide. I'm flexible on whether they should go in the theme, but they are available as possible resources.</li> <li>The theme must be flexible width to fill the whole browser window.</li> <li>The theme must be 3 columns, as I'm using a lot of blocks.</li> <li>Primary links as tabs along the top of the page. Right now there are 2. There should be room for 4.</li> <li>Secondary links as small links along the bottom of the page.</li> <li>Site slogan, shortcut icon and mission statement should be supported (mission statement on the story lists/front page as usual - not on every page. I think this is standard).</li> <li>On the dev site right now, the theme colours are black, white and yellow, especially a dark gold colour. I'm a big believer in creative freedom, but I'd like the site to focus on that colour range, especially keeping gold as a prominent colour (you can change the black and white if you have a better idea).</li> <li>A lot of the blocks on the site right now are looking very similar, as they are lists of links. Something needs to be done to give them a bit of variety for fear that the site starts looking like a telephone directory.</li> <li>In the top right of the site, I need some static links (Home, Help, Your Account, etc).</li> <li>All artwork used should be images we are legally entitled to use. Ownership of any custom made artwork should belong with me. Any coding done for the theme I need a licence to, but do not require exclusive ownership.</li> </ul> <p><B>Also, I will require the following to visually integrate some shopping cart software with the Drupal theme:</B></p> <ul> <li>Small (20x20) icons for a shopping cart, save cart, load cart, empty cart, help.</li> <li>CSS classes for:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>- buttons <li>- form input fields <li>- HTML table of info <li>- HTML table of info, highlighted cells <li>- Warning message</ul> <p><B>Please contact me with any questions, portfolios, or quotes and time estimates. I will share specific site information with parties who take a serious interest.</B></p> <p><B>Thanks!</B></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> New York City Australia Vancouver Washington, DC Drupalers Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:23:26 +0000 KenTiller 13254 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13083 <p>I have agreed to do a drupal site for an association, and I would rather not learn install and set up at this stage.<br /> Looking for someone to quote on basic set up, to template which we have designed using an existing Drupal template.</p> <p>Features required for the website beyond basic include:<br /> - events manager<br /> - possibly document management (at least, there will be some PDFs)<br /> - online payments</p> <p>Strong preference for developer in Sydney Australia, as it is where we are located.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> set up and install drupal Sydney Australia Australia Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:12:31 +0000 pkandpk 13083 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13001 <p>In order to meet the growing demands of our corporate clients, <a href="http://emspace.com.au">Em Space</a> seeks the services of an experienced PHP developer who has Drupal experience.</p> <p>Em Space services a variety of clients from <a href="http://lonelyplanet.com.au">Lonely Planet</a> to design companies like <a href="http://publicityworks.com.au">Publicity Works</a> through to education sector in Swinburne University.

I started the site <a href="http://prime357.org" title="http://prime357.org">http://prime357.org</a>, which is a separation from my personal blogging (<a href="http://superjacent.net" title="http://superjacent.net">http://superjacent.net</a> - running) site, in early April this year. Too much geeky stuff was creeping into the running site.</p> <p>The purpose of Prime357 was to track my development in C++ and a place to continue development of the Wordpress to Drupal converter, a <a href="http://www.realsoftware.com/">Realbasic</a> application. I've got some good how-to type tutorials (my opinion) and short demonstration programs which are presented via the Drupal book method. I first wanted to get some content into the site before seeking contributors so at at least anybody interested could get a feel for my intent (not that it's set in concrete).</p> <p>Unfortunately, as regards C++ my time has been diverted to other IT stuff, the Wordpress converter and very soon <a href="http://www.purebasic.com/">Purebasic</a> development which will in time will replace Realbasic as the development tool for the Wordpress (and phpBB) converter. I'm getting a heap of hits relating to the C++ stuff and I'd hate to see it dry up.</p> <p>Contributors do not have to be fully fledged C++ coding experts but proficient enough to know what they are talking about which translates to explaining why things are/were done in a certain way. Ideally in normal English, non sms speak.</p> <p>What can I offer contributors? That's a good question, nothing but a sense of satisfaction.</p> <p>I'm Australian based (Melbourne) and the server is in the US. So any local contributors would be very welcome but that's not to say international ones wouldn't be.</p> <p>Okay, that's my pitch.</p> <p>Steve<br /> <a href="http://prime357.org" title="http://prime357.org">http://prime357.org</a> and <a href="http://prime357.org/node/108">Looking for Contributors</a>.</p> <p>ps.

I provide a non php solution to convert <a href="http://prime357.org/node/63">Wordpress data to Drupal</a>. I recently became aware that the thread field is not a string of decimal numbers but is in fact a string of base 36 (Vancode) numbers. I've created the necessary functions to convert to and from base 36 format but I'm a little confused re - the leading digit/character.</p> <p>Here is an excerpt from <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/int2vancode/5" title="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/int2vancode/5">http://api.drupal.org/api/function/int2vancode/5</a></p> <blockquote><p> Generate vancode.</p> <p>Consists of a leading character indicating length, followed by N digits with a numerical value in base 36. Vancodes can be sorted as strings without messing up numerical order.</p> <p>It goes: 00, 01, 02, ..., 0y, 0z, 110, 111, ... , 1zy, 1zz, 2100, 2101, ..., 2zzy, 2zzz, 31000, 31001, ...</p></blockquote> <p>So, <code>decimal 35 = z</code> and so it is written as <code>0z</code>. The leading zero in this case, how does that indicate length? Therefore <code>decimal 36 = 10</code> and so is written as <code>110</code> as per the excerpt above. Again, how does the leading character <code>1</code> indicate length when the length of <code>10</code> is <code>2</code>.</p> <p>Obviously I can see a pattern forming whereby the leading character for the first 36 is 0, the next 36 is 1, the next 2 and so on up until z. Is there an assumption that the leading character will never be greater than "z".</p> <p>Any help appreciated.</p> <p>Steve<br /> <a href="http://prime357.org" title="http://prime357.org">http://prime357.org</a></p> <p><b>Update</b>: <i>Since no response from the initial group (Database Schema API) I'm posting to other groups I think might be relevant.

Obviously the next step is to upgrade to 6.1, but I can't do that properly (uninstalling extra modules etc), until I can get in.</p> <p>I am rather desparate, as I need to update content!!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> Australia Fri, 09 May 2008 03:27:19 +0000 larryjhs 11344 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11310 <p>For everyone still interested in getting together for some Drupal fun, we have arranged for a small get together where we can have some presentations, discussions, and general hacking fest. We only have room for about 40 people, so sign up quickly (on this page).</p> <p><strong>When</strong><br /> We will have a full day of fun on Sunday, May 18th, 2008. We will open up for registration/greetings at 9:00am and actually get things kicked off at around 9:30ish and likely finish around 5pm. We will probably move to a nearby pub to continue the socializing and for dinner/drinks.</p> <p><strong>Where</strong><br /> We have secured a computer room at the University of Sydney.</p> <p>Faculty of Pharmacy<br /> Pharmacy Building (A15)<br /> University of Sydney<br /> Sydney, NSW, 2006<br /> listed at location E15 in the <a href="http://db.auth.usyd.edu.au/directories/map/largemap00a.html">map of the Camperdown Campus</a><br /> and a google <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=The+University+of+Sydney,+NSW,+Australia&amp;sll=-33.885558,151.189363&amp;sspn=0.008016,0.020084&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=-33.887927,151.186917&amp;spn=0.008016,0.020084&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr">map of the area </a> and <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Faculty+of+Pharmacy,+The+University+of+Sydney,+NSW,+Australia&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=-33.88481,151.188827&amp;spn=0.004008,0.010042&amp;t=h&amp;z=17&amp;iwloc=A">the building</a></p> <p><strong>What</strong><br /> We will have a fairly informal structure, probably somewhat like a barcamp. Which means we will try to organize most things on the day and will need your involvement. If you would like to make a presentation or have a topic for discussion, please post it as a comment to this post. We will take these presentations first when we are making the schedule on the day.</p> <p>We do not have any catering for this event, and I've been advised that food outlets on campus will be closed so we will have a break to allow people to walk to something near by for lunch, but I would encourage people to bring some snacks and water.</p> <p>There will be some computers available in the room, but we encourage people to bring their laptops as well. Internet access will be available, with details given out on the day.</p> <p><strong>How Much $$?</strong><br /> Its $0 - FREE!<br /> The venue has been donated for free (Thanks to the Faculty of Pharmacy @ USyd) and there won't be any catered food or other schwag given out, so it only costs for people to show up and our time as organizers. If everyone can be respectful and keep things clean, hopefully we can get invited back.</p> <p><strong>Anything Else?</strong><br /> If there are any special needs, please email me ASAP. There should be handicap access to the building, and potentially hearing impaired services available, but I will need to confirm anything. Special dietary needs should be self catered, though if we organize any snacks it would be helpful to know of any limitations/allergies.</p> <p>Presenters should preferably bring their own computer, otherwise make sure to bring it on a usb stick in a standard format. Please email me if you have any questions.</p> <p>You can contact myself via the contact form and at 0431-947-331 or Jim Woulfe at webct_AT_pharm_usyd_edu_au</p> <p>We will have signs to help direct people, but don't feel bad if you get lost and need to call.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/11310#comments 2008 Drupal Asia Pacific Conference Australia Thu, 08 May 2008 11:15:39 +0000 rcross 11310 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11153 <p>OK - back to our regularly scheduled program...</p> <p>3rd Thursday of the month.</p> <p>We might change the venue, but lets plan for the Royal Exhibition Hotel for now.

We don’t have anyone else who knows this stuff so we need the services of someone that can assist when we have additions/problems with the sites on an ongoing basis.</p> <p>We are really looking for someone that knows Drupal really well so if any issues arise they can be rectified as quickly as possible.</p> <p>There are two sites that require work at the moment:<br /> 1. <a href="http://www.modra.com.au" title="www.modra.com.au">www.modra.com.au</a> – this is quite urgent – need to know if you can do it and a quote for work.<br /> 2. <a href="http://www.chgpn.com.au" title="www.chgpn.com.au">www.chgpn.com.au</a> – just need to quote for some new additions</p> <p>Modra<br /> The Modra site is the most urgent. It was put live at the end of last year, and there are a couple of problems with editing site as well as a couple of things that need to be added to the site. the developer who worked with us has left without finishing the project and was planning to ‘contract’ back to us. 4 months have gone by and he still hasn’t rectified anything, hence my email to you.</p> <p>There are approximately 15 modules which have been installed, I can give you a list of these if it helps. I don’t have any technical knowledge in this area, so you’ll have to bear with me.</p> <p>Specifically, the things that require work are:</p> <p>Whitepapers download<br /> Within the Products sections there was to be a SECURE SECTION where user registration was required to access White Papers, etc. At the moment, a user can download brochures, but with whitepapers the client wants to capture name, company, email address prior to them being able to download it.</p> <p>Keyword search<br /> This is something that never got implemented originally that needs to be added in.</p> <p>Bug<br /> There is an issue in the Contact Us section where on several pages in this section, in any user other than the admin user, you are unable to edit the page. the edit button just doesn’t appear. Its weird because it appears on some but not on others. It only happens in this area. The same problem has come up with another site in a different area.</p> <p>CHGPN<br /> This site went live in the middle of last year and they have just come back to us with some additional development they require. They want to create an event calendar and online event registration.</p> <p>The site runs on a user type menu system. Eg. A piece of content can belong to the general practitioners section and the practice nurses section.</p> <p>They have a manual process for currently entering their event calendar at the moment, and the registration happens offline. What we want to do is to be able to add an event to the site and have it display in multiple areas on the site, as per the example above. Ie. There may be an event that applies to both GPs and Practice Nurses, therefore when the event is added in, you can select which area it is to display in.</p> <p>The events would need to display in a chronological order and only display say the next 3 months, and will change as they occur. That way they don’t need to remember to unpublish them after the event takes place. A user would select the event from the list and be taken to the event details page where there is a link to register online for the event. The registration form needs to be pretty simple, and would just send them an email with the registrant’s details.</p> <p>please contact me on +61 3 5428 8433 or <a href="mailto:trudi@blue-square.com.au">trudi@blue-square.com.au</a> if you are interested in discussing these projects.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> Australia Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:37:59 +0000 bluesquare 10401 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10334 <p>Hi All</p> <p>I am new to Drupal and am impressed with the scope of what it can do. One of my targets in my job this year is to set up a content management system (namely Drupal) that can accommodate up to about 10 predesigned website templates. So that we can relatively quickly produce professional websites via the system.</p> <p>I have started working with the Zen theme in Drupal 6 and are already familiar with the Zen Structure, tableless css html etc. and I believe that it would be the best starting theme. We would be interested in contacting experienced drupal developers that might wish to do some consultancy work with this project as it will take a while for me to come up to speed with Drupal.</p> <p>I am attending both Lullabot training workshops in Melbourne next week so it should be a baptism of fire for me!</p> <p>My coding experience is predominantly in PERL, MYSQL, javascript, HTML, CSS with elements of PHP, C, VB, Access, etc...</p> <p>Looking forward to meeting uall!</p> <p>Matt Wright</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/australia">Australia</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10334#comments Drupal Consultancy tips Australia Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:10:22 +0000 Matthew_wright 10334 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10174 <p>That's right - come and get it!
