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.

Read moreimporting 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,
Read moreView 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

2011 Drupal Camp Wisconsin!
DrupalCamp Wisconsin is a FREE, two and a half day, community-organized event for people who love the interwebs. Both days will be packed with multi-track sessions about Drupal.

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.

Read moreContent Management Forum - UW - Madison Campus
Hi all:
I've been asked to participate in a Content Management Forum here on the UW-Madison campus, ostensibly for UW departments/research/projects interested in using a CMS for their web content. In this forum, the following CMS's will be presented...
RedDot/WiscWeb/OpenText
SiteFinity
SiteCore
Wordpress
Drupal (This is where I come in)
Poster Link: http://babel.lss.wisc.edu/~sara/ctig_cms_forum.jpg
(this is just hosted off of my website; this was circulated on a couple of listserves...I'm not sure it has a website)
Carpooling to Cities DrupalCamp?
I'd like to go to DrupalCamp if I can but I'm having trouble with the logistics. One big hurdle is that I am not good at driving in big cities. Is there anyone that's anywhere near Holmen, WI (La Crosse) that would let me hitch a ride for gas money? If you're closer to La Crosse than the Cities but don't want that extra drive down, I'd be willing to drive up to meet you at your starting point as long as there's a place I could park for the duration.
My other hurdle is child care so this may be moot but I'm trying to work on both issues in tandem. :)
Thanks,
Michelle

Read moreubercart and CashNET
Hi
I'm having some trouble with upercart payment module 2checkout and CashNET. It has been working fine but with recent updates I can no longer get international quotes and product plus shipping does not add correctly to the total. I do not have the most recent version of 2checkout because it fails when installed. Can anyone recommend someone or some unit who can troubleshoot this problem and also help edit the new 2checkout.info file to communicate with CashNET? The programmer we have used in the past is no longer available.
Thanks
