Albany, NY

Hi all,

I need some assistance here with more of a best practice question regarding the omega theme. With other themes I would normally have a page--front.tpl.php file which would control the layout of the front page and all other pages would just fallback to the regular page.tpl.php. variables in these pages would essentially be regions that were just printed out like "print render($page['sidebar'])"

In omega the difference is that 'sections' are printed out instead:

<?php
 print render($page[header]); 
?>

<?php
 print render($page[content]); 
?>

I'm not sure how we got off track, but I'd still very much like to have Drupal meet ups!

If people are interested (and I know some of you are) please post!

I've put a good deal of thought into the meet ups in terms of how to make them better, more interesting, and more viable. Since we're a small group it may make sense to schedule meet ups further apart to avoid running out of topics. I think it's also worth exploring alternative formats: Topics and lightning rounds like the last few meetings, Show and Tell, or even just meeting up at a local pub or coffee shop.

Do you offer remote access to your Drupal Meetups?
I started a group in hopes of getting Meetups with remote access listed in one place and bringing people from all over the world to your local meetups.

Hello everyone,

It was really awesome to meet the lot of you last week. There's a lot of great Drupal energy between us all, and I hope we've all been able to learn at least a little bit by bouncing ideas and thoughts off of each other.

We were able to follow the outline of proposed talks pretty well even though we weren't able to get to it all. I'd like to leave a review of the meeting here for those of us who'd like to checkback and for those of us who weren't able to make it. Then hopefully we can start planning our next meetup.
