Drupal 7 - UW Madison Omega Theme
I had some free time over the past couple of days and I finished a rough draft of a Drupal 7 Omega version of the UW Madison Theme. I have added it to GitHub and you can download the theme at https://github.com/nmillin/uw_madison_omega.
You can check out a screenshot of it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/55453037@N08/6608432029/in/photostream
Read the Readme.txt file to have a walkthrough on how to set it up using Omega & MegaMenu.
Hopefully I can demo it out at a meetup soon & get some feedback on what to do with all the white space for the content region.

importing large db
I recently had to reformat my hard drive and start over, and now I've done most of my re-installing. (Also now have an imaging program to prevent this in the future!) I want to get my localhost set up again, but I'm having a memory limit problem when trying to import. I did a dump from the host, and tried to import, but got the size error. I increased the upload_max_filsize, memory_limit, and post_max_size in php.ini, since I found that could be a possible solution. That did not work. I tried bigdump - errored out on that as well.

Read morePulling data from a Lotus Notes Database into a Content Type
I am curious if anyone knows of an easy way to pull data from a Lotus Notes database into a Drupal Content Type?
We have access to LEI (Lotus Enterprise Integrator) and I am hoping that LEI can either push the data directly into Drupal's db or that LEI can export it in a way that Drupal can import.
.. or, hopefully, there is a db access module somewhere?
I have no idea how to do any of that, but if some one has done so I would greatly appreciate some input.
Thanks,
View access to field in a referenced node
I am new to Drupal, but I do have a programming background, and have Drupal admin experience.
I have been able to put together some basic views so far.
I am working on a Room Reservation type site in D7 for our intranet and I want to put together a view that shows the
reservation event title, date/time, room#, building
The only problem I am have is getting access to the building. The building is referenced on the Room content type.
Room Res -> Room -> Building
Is it possible to gain access to a field on a referenced node?
Thanks all

Read moreD7 Commerce Catalog woes
I'm creating a Commerce site in D7. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the products I've created show up! I can't even get it to show up in the menu. The documentation in Commerce has been helpful up to this point. I'm just not getting it. Has anyone out there done a D7 Commerce site yet who could help me?
Here is what I've done so far:
Created a content type called Book. Created a couple taxonomy vocabularies, added the terms
Created a product type called Book
Added the fields
Added two "Term reference" fields for the taxonomy fields
Added some Books in for testing.
