Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

Need help with Views / Flash integration
Hello,
I have a small job for any Drupal developer with time to help. I simply need to integrate a Drupal view (already built) with a Flash element (also already built). Flash is already reading data from an xml file, so perhaps exporting the view to xml on page load would do the trick. Or perhaps services/AMFPHP.
Note, I'm not looking for advice on how to do this myself this time around as I'm swamped with other things. I'm looking for someone who can take this task off my hands, I'll pay for your time.
Thanks,
Ryan

Surrey Drupal Users Group May Meetup
Doug Gough of ImageX Media will be teaching us the basics of creating a Drupal module. Use some of the most common Drupal API hooks, such as hook_user, hook_nodeapi, and form_alter to create a basic module that reacts to changes to user information. Create a theme function to style the output of the module.
Please RSVP if you'd like to join us.

You may be aware of the newest version of module 'Devel' (6.x-1.16)
Hi Guys,
You may be aware the newest version of module 'Devel' (6.x-1.16) if you'd like to update the module. There is at least one conflict with 'Administration Menu' module as far as I found.
They changed the menu links to arrays from strings, so you would always have an error message like
preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in ...\sites\all\modules\admin_menu\admin_menu.inc on line 244.
Backup files directory to S3
Thought someone in Vancouver must have implemented this before...
I need a tool to sync a copy of Drupal's files directory with S3. Backup and Migrate seems to allow me to save regular copies of my database to S3 (though I haven't tested it yet) . Is there a similar tool for files? In this case, I'd like to just keep the latest snapshot, similar to rsync.

Hello
I have a test Drupal web site.
The majority of the content is in slovak language.
I have created a story with title: Test of slovak charakters in Title (ľ,š,č,ť,ž,ý,á,í,é,ú,ä,ô,Ľ,Š,Č,Ť,Ž,Ý,Á,Í,É,Ú)
I have entered this story by going to Administer/Create Content/Story, switching my keyboard to SK - slovak (Slovakia) and typing the slovak characters.

I need to export the Drupal DB.
My ISP does not offer MyPhpAdmin, so I had to write my own php scripts to export MySql table structures and data.
