drupal dojo

Hi,
We need to find an experienced Drupal developer to finish a new module for a client. Here are the details - please contact me at brian@fathomindustries.com to follow up.

Technologies involved:
Drupal 5.x
PHP (of course)
mySQL
Ubercart 1.x
Subversion
Jquery

The module (which is about 40% complete) is a custom product type for Ubercart. In brief, it's creating an overlay image to visually show various product options that the customer can change on this product type.

Work that is still required:
Admin tool to upload the overlay files for the product options

Ultimo momento: Ya empieza!

No pierdan la lección sobre Durpal 6 que va a dictar el fundador del grupo Drupal Dojo, joshk, este domingo.

Está dictado por supuesto en inglés, pero promete ser muy interesante. Voy a enviar aquí instrucciones de cómo capturar el video, audio y chat (irc) de la lección en vivo.

Comienzo: 2009-11-23 11:00 US/Pacific (o sea, 19 hs hora Buenos Aires)
Qué: Tiráte a la pileta con Drupal 6

Hi All - I wanted to start a discussion with the Dojo resurgence and redesign in mind. My focus is on two points.

This is a very introductory look at Forms API in Drupal 6.

The focus is on basic and practical application, and should allow the newest Drupal programmer to be able to go create his or her own form, in Drupal 6.

Attached is the code for your perusal--It's the same as what's demonstrated in the video, with a bunch of comments. (I would have attached a tarball, but it was not an acceptable file format)

The 30-minute screencast is hosted at blip.tv.

NOTE: In the video, I fail to use check_plain() when outputting some user-generated content...For the sake of you and your web site, don't forget this step. The attached code example is i believe doing it right

Here's the lowdown on a project some of us have been kicking around as a potential 'code sprint' and/or community coding effort.

During the Drupal Dojo Birds-of-a-Feather meeting at DrupalCon Boston we discussed two seperate items that I believe are interconnected: figuring out how to get more video lessons into the Dojo and doing a better job of attracting more potential teachers and students to the site. To address the first of these issues, I committed myself to doing outreach to individuals and companies who are creating video-based instructional materials to try and get them to submit their work to the Dojo. After that session I started to look around the series of tubes known as the "Internet" and I found quite a few videos. But, what I also noticed was that a good percentage of those videos already are being shared with the Drupal community, but through drupal.org/videocasts rather than the Dojo, which oddly doesn't seem to appear on the videocast pages at all. This brought to mind something that I've heard Josh and others talk about, the idea that we should consider moving the dojo to something more aligned with Drupal.org itself, and I have to say that the more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me.

So, my question is this: does it make sense to consolidate our collective efforts in one location that is better connected with d.o. itself? Something like video.drupal.org, or possibly as a subsection of a <a href="http://drupal.org/handbook/customization>tutorials section of the site (which is where the videocasts now sit), which could be called something like tutorials.drupal.org.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you guys might be interested in some theming help for the new dojo site. I hope no one takes offense to me saying this, but it seems that there could be a more unified design.

My name is Aaron, and I make my living on Drupal. I would like to give something back, and at the moment theming is what I do best. If you want to look at the kind of site design I do you can see my business website at www.TranslationDesigns.com.

PS. I wouldn't be able to start doing it until next week. (Right now I have taken on a little too much work for my own good.)

This Sunday the 16th, we're holding a planning CoffeeTalk to determine the next course of action for the Dojo 2.0, so come join us and contribute your thoughts, ideas, and promises of help. The meeting starts at 7pm UTC (11am PST). Be in the drupal-dojo IRC room early if you need help joining.

This post by Josh K will be our outline for the talk: http://groups.drupal.org/node/6914

UPDATE: We've created a project on drupal.org to track the progress of the 2.0 upgrade.

On Sunday, at the regular time, EclipseGc will be showing us how the image_gallery module integrates with Views. Come see how to make your pictures sing and dance. If time permits, and we're pretty sure it will, Eclipse will expound on how Views args really work. We will be recording both of these segments as separate screencasts so they can be made available as reference material on the site.

Hurray! The dojo made it to 1000+ subscribers! Way to go everyone!
