North West UK

Hi

Hello!

I'm trying to get input and feedback into the creation of a UK Drupal Association that will help and enable the regional Drupal user groups in the UK. Who is currently organising Drupal events in the North West? I'd like to get their input.

(Everyone else is entitled to give me feedback and input too, just that I suspect that any association will effect event organisers negatively the most, so would like to ensure that it doesn't as much as possible by talking to them!)

Hydrant are seeking an experienced Drupal developer with a proven track record who can telecommute / work remotely or in our Carlisle office alongside our core development team. Initially we're seeking someone for freelance / contract work, but may lead to longer term opportunities.

Essential

• Drupal: An extensive understanding of the Drupal CMS including both config using Views, CCK and other common modules as well as theme development
• PHP
• jQuery
• MySQL
• Examples of previous work

Desirable

Hi all, I'm a drupal newbie and not super technical. Working as a part-time web assistant in Manchester and the role is requiring more technical knowledge than I have so would really appreciate some help! Basically the organisations current site has been recently migrated to Drupal and is installed on an old server which is unable to cope with the current basic and user-unfriendly site we have, not to mention the additional functionality I want to install with new modules and themes (lots of other stuff living on the server aswell).

I'm not sure if this is simple question or not, but I'm a little bit confused.

I am planning on developing 4 drupal sites that are essentially pretty much the same in terms of what they do, they will look different but will more or less do exactly the same job as each other with the odd exception. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to feed the sites from the same database and most importantly can the sites share the same cck fields 'if and when' they are required, or do you need to either share all fields or non at all?

Hoping someone might be able to advise. I'm trying to migrate data from an old site across to my drupal site. Ive pulled the data out from Access (dont ask) and now have it sitting in the drupal mysql database. Ive used table wizard to draw the data out and check it via a view which works nicely however when trying to use Migrate Ive now come un-stuck due to the change to Migrate V2 which has no UI (certainly not for drupal 6 anyway). Im just not upto the level of being able to use migrate v2 comfortably and was hoping someone might be able to point me in a new direction?

You can signup for this event by going to http://www.drupalsciencecamp.org.uk/ - the fee to attend is £10 - a real bargain!

Note: These dates are now confirmed!

Note: Registration for the event will take place for everyone at 9am on Saturday morning - there will be no early registration on Friday evening

We are planning a DrupalScienceCamp to start 2012 off with a bang - or at least a bump to get you through January!

This camp will take place at the Science Park in Cambridge (hence the title!).

So it seems I am not alone in finding evenings, paricularly Fridays impossible to handle for the North West Drupal user group. Mark Hope [http://twitter.com/markhopetweets] has the same issues.

What if I were to propose a shorter lunch break style casual Drupal meet up in central Manchester? Would anyone be interested? We could elect a cafe and just socialise, talk Drupal and share knowledge, advice. I am pretty sure some of my team would be up for it but what about other Drupalers in Manchester?

Hi everyone

Another question for anyone out there that understands 'Drush Make'.

I have Drush setup (Mac OSX) and am pretty competent in using it. The issue I now have is that I'm a little unsure as to how to get 'Drush Make' working which I require to save time on Drupal site setups. I've looked for videos etc (this is the way that I managed to get Drush running correctly) but have been unable to find a good example that I understand.

Does anyone know of an absolute idiot proof tutorial or perhaps can post an easy to follow guide?

Any help will be much appreciated

Thank you
