Question for the group

· ·

I have a question for you all, we have been building a website for local green business owners to connect with each other. We have an html page that I need to get to be xml. Our super Drupal programmer has not been able to figure out how to get a particular query from our website into an rss feed. It seems like the hook_nodeapi might be a solution if we could figure that out, and the REST server module is way over our heads. Has anyone encountered this before?

Need help creating an RSS feed without Views

I can not use views because I want to include links to users who have flagged the nodes and this flag information is not available in views. So...as step one, I'm just trying to create the feed with just my profile nodes, here is what I have, wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction


function mymodule_rss() {
$nodes = db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT n.nid FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'profile' AND n.status = 1"), 0, variable_get('feed_default_items', 100));

Drupal web hosting recommendations

Hi,

I'm looking for commercial hosting options for a Drupal site, and would appreciate some guidance on how much server power I might need. My experience so far is in developing relatively low-traffic sites. I'm also not an expert by any means in Linux server admin.

General Site Setup Assistance

Hey all, I've been trolling the Wisconsin group for a bit, and was hoping someone with some more experience could help me wrap my head around this problem.

The Setup

There is one "corporate" site. It has recipes in a variety of topics.

There are 8 "franchise" sites. They should be able to show the same recipes as corporate, but as if they were their own. Each franchise site wil also have a few of their own pages, such as About Us, Contact Us, Specials. etc, each editable by people specific to that store.

From WAMP to web server

Sorry I couldn't join everyone tonight for the Madison group.

I'm building a site in Drupal and started on my local computer with WAMP Server. Now I need to move things to a real web server, and I don't want to start over from scratch.

Any suggestions on the best way to do this? I've got the Using Drupal book, but didn't find anything in there about it.

Thanks,

Question Regarding Categories & Taxonomy

I am building a site and I want to manage certain posts and I thought I'd tap the local community for some advice on how to set it up properly.

The site would allow users to submit news articles. Free tagging will be implemented. I have 'news' set up as a term in taxonomy with the list of associated terms. My question is how do people view all 'news'?

I'll help flesh it out.

Impromptu Drupal Users Group Meet-up Anyone?

I've gotta say, it's been a while since I've attended a MadDUG meetup but the Drupal User Group meetup this past Thursday in Madison, was really great. Great topics, great discussions, great ideas, methods, personal workflows, and was just a great time. Seeing lots of familiar faces at the meetup was nice and seeing many more new people there too made it even better. Thanks again to the DANEnet crew for the meeting set-up, wi-fi & av gear.

Now ... I know this is a Wisconsin group, not just a Madison, WI group however, seeing that the next MadDUG meeting

Student Drupal Tech Help

I work for a group at the UW that manages a small group of Drupal sites for departments in our building. (No, this isn't a service we extend to just any department, it has to be in our building.)

However, when approached for this service, we always stress how

1) we will give you a blank drupal install, maybe a theme or two, a tutorial on how to use it and let you go to town.
2) we will not do custom design.
