Drupal 8 has been released and it is a huge advancement, but it is also a huge departure from the past.

• Drupal 8 overview. So we're all coming from the same base knowledge, we'll mutually share posts and information about the new features and functionality of Drupal 8.

This will be a great topic for anyone.

• Migrating to Drupal 8. Building a new site in Drupal 8 might seem elementary compared to moving an existing, mission-critical Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 site to D8. Rick will share our experiences in planning and estimating migrations off of Drupal 6.

Problem with SQL statement in Views D7

Hi there, I'm hoping a SQL ninja will find it in his or her heart to provide me with some advice.

I've created a page view which does the following:

  1. Pulls in nodes from two different content types
  2. Filters by two different term references, one for each content type.

It's not working, although in my mind (and limited sql understanding), it should. I think maybe there's an issue with the inner joins, because it seems the sql statement would working if they weren't there.

Anyways, I've attached two images, one of the api and one of the actual sql statement.

This is usually one of the most popular and useful meetings of the year. Anyone who went to DrupalCon LA will come in to talk about the most insightful, future-facing and sometimes ridiculous things at DrupalCon.

If you went to DrupalCon LA, come with your major learnings and observations.

If you weren't there, you can get a great idea of what online videos you might want to dive in to.

Location. We're at the great 21st Century Library, but I was able to get the bigger conference room, B6.
