Learn to build a website with Drupal 7

Posted by colincalnan on May 23, 2012 at 3:26am

As there are a number of Drupal events coming up in the next two weeks I thought it would be the right time to introduce a course that I'm teaching at UBC starting in June. It's titled "Build a website with Drupal 7". You can find more information about the course at http://cstudies.ubc.ca/a/Course/Build-a-Website-with-Drupal-7-New/IM343/.

Tri-Cities Drupal Meetup?

Posted by webchick on May 20, 2012 at 6:58am

I have lived in "Super East Van" for the past 2 years, but I think I have yet to make it to a single local user group meeting because I am almost always on the road when the meetup is happening. :( So I was thinking about starting a third meetup at a coffee shop down the street from here in Port Moody, which I can get to fairly easily and can also plan the meetups for days that I am actually home. ;)

I'm curious if I were to start one of these if anyone else would come, and how best to schedule them so they don't conflict with other group activities. Thoughts/suggestions?

Wordpress and Feedburner or RSS feeds?

Posted by webmayin on May 16, 2012 at 3:06am

Anybody in the group have experience with creating rss feeds in Wordpress? Ideally it would be compatible with feedburner. A good friend has an 'emergency' and I am trying to help her out as best as I can. I can pay some cash if someone can help me help her quickly.

Visiting Vancouver

Posted by adraskoy on May 11, 2012 at 4:44am

I'm in Vancouver (from St. John's) for a couple of weeks and would love to meet up with any local drupallers for beer and/or tech talk. Is there anything happening during this period? Sadly I won't be around for the Drupal Camp.

Proximity locator help for drupal 7

Posted by webmayin on April 5, 2012 at 10:07am

I am struggling with the process of creating a proximity locator for D7. There are several tutorials on the net, some for gmap proximity, but they are outdated. Even the gmap API key generation seems screwy, as google has updated it's keys to v3.

Another promising module is OpenLayers Locator module, which has very strange dependencies, and once I tracked them all down and installed the module, my site content was erased.

Has anyone successfully created a proximity search in d7, and have any resources that may help me?

Peace Geeks looking for Drupal volunteers to develop site for Egyptian NGO fighting sexual harassment

Peace Geeks is a Vancouver-based non-profit organization that aims to develop the technology, communications and management capacities of non-profit organizations working on the promotion of peace, accountability and human rights through remote, volunteer-based project teams.

We are seeking volunteers to help us develop a new website for a Cairo-based non-profit organization named HarassMap, which aims to end the social acceptability of sexual harassment in Egypt - an issue that has reached epidemic proportions.

Taxonomy child block

Posted by webmayin on March 14, 2012 at 6:35am

I'm trying to make a block that lists immediate taxonomy children when someone visits taxonomy/term/1 For example:
*
*
*
*
Colours
-Blue
--Navy
--Sky
--Baby
-Red

If term 1 was Colours, the output would be
Blue
Red
If term 1 was Blue, the output would be
Navy
Sky
Baby
with each term linking to the taxonomy page appropriately.
This seemed a pretty easy project, but in Views 3 the taxonomy View type is missing. Any help would be appreciated.

render block in d7

Posted by webmayin on March 1, 2012 at 11:49pm

I'm trying to place the contents of a block in a custom jQuery list. To start out I'd like to just try rendering the contents of a block into a page or block, but am having difficulties. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the php code I'm using:

<?php
          $block = module_invoke('webform', 'block_view', 'client-block-103');
          print render($block); 
?>

From instructions here:
http://drupal.org/node/1034524#comment-4100718

Update: This does not work for regular blocks either:
<?php
$block = module_invoke('block', 'block_view', '16');
