Welcome to the Austin Drupal Users Group!
As of April 2025, we are no longer posting events in this group (there are too many places to post events and groups.drupal.org is dying a slow death).
TxDUG / Texas Drupal organizers are collecting contact info for Drupalers in Texas so we can stop being reliant on other platforms (here’s looking at you Meetup.com) for communicating announcements. Please fill out this form so we can email you about Drupal events in Texas (you can choose which regions).
Please join us in the #austin-texas channel on Drupal Slack. If you aren't already on Drupal Slack, join here.
We continue to post our meetups in Drupal.org's Community Events section.
For now, RSVPs for our meetups are in our Meetup Group, but this might change in the future. Best to be in our Slack channel or on our email list.
Hope to see you at an upcoming meetup!
reCAPTCHA problems
I'm using webform module for a contact us for on this site:
http://bodyworkatx.com/
but I'm having problems with the reCAPTCHA. No matter what you put in it always comes back as not matching. Everything is up to date with modules and core.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? I was using reCAPTCHA for security reasons, but maybe with help I can set up something more secure then webform (CCK?). I had difficulty setting it up before and just gave up and settled for webform.
Thanks
Donna

My first patch to core....
I noticed that this sort of error crops up a lot. Anyway, I got the preg_match warning myself the other day after upgrading a site.
After stepping through the code, I discovered that the profile module was passing select options as arrays (instead of the select text) into check_plain(). That seems like bug to me, so I submitted a patch to the profile module to send the selected option as text instead of an array.

The GeekAustin Drupal feed:
Read moreUrgent help needed, lots of small tasks, non-profit developing Haiti Relief Oversight Database in Drupal, shooting for Thursday release, any ideas where to get help?
Application being developed by www.disasteraccountability.org. Decision was made last minute to go with Drupal. 10 developers worked through the weekend to get all content types, design comps, main site css and navigation done. There are tons of small things that could be knocked out by Drupal developers very quickly. Having lots of trouble finding Drupal folks who can commit even an hour or two between now and Thursday. This project has real promise to improve effectiveness of relief efforts in Haiti and future disasters.
Read moreCould we webcast our meetups?
At last week's Mangia meetup, I raised this question well after we had broken into individual discussions. The people around me thought it was a great idea and asked if I would volunteer.
Well, I would, except that I have no webcam or mike (other than the ones built into my MacBook) and no experience with setting up a webcast. Oh, and because I get off work fairly late, I'm rarely at the meetups on time, and I'm never early.
Read moreHelp with drupal site deployment
I am in need of a systems administrator to partner with to deploy my completed drupal sites. I posted this as a discussion instead of a job as it's more or less on a per-site basis, and I wouldn't mind having multiple partners to work with in case one was busy. In addition the sites I deploy are typically very high-end and overly complicated (ie enterprise level server clusters etc).
Read moreThe North Austin Drupal Meetup
Hi all,
Just a note and to follow-up - The North Austin Drupal Meetup is almost live! It hasn't been announced via Meetup yet - but should be in the next few days.

Fito Kahn has agreed to be Co-Organizer and I am very appreciative of his help.

Read moreseo_checklist and Drush not playing well in my sandbox - any other Austin folks notice this?
out of curiousity - has anyone seen this while using Drush and SEO Checklist? Apparently, they are not playing well together on my sandbox area. Drush works great if I remove the seo_checklist module.
Just curious before I open a bug issue and not sure if it is with Drush or SEO_checklist,
Your friendly product manager who is dangerous with Drupal,

Drinks and Drupal - Wed 6th at Triumph Cafe
I'll be hosting a get together for Austin drupalistas on Wed, Jan 6.
No presentations, just an opportunity to hang out with your fellow drupalistas.
Since folks are scattered all over town, and it seems to be a good central location,
I've decided to host Drinks and Drupal at Triumph Cafe.
Here's the facebook event page:

North Austin Meeting
A north meeting is a great idea, but keep in mind that because of traffic, no one who lives or works south of Lady Bird Lake is likely to attend any weeknight meeting that starts before 7:30 p.m.
Perhaps two meetings or alternating locations?
