Austin

It's been a while since I've made it out to an Austin Drupal Users Group meet-up, so I thought I'd just start a thread of sharing what we have all done locally lately..

Some sites that involve elements I'm particularly fond/proud of are below:

<

ul>

I just built my first module today. It is inanely simple, but it works. I created two fields that the user fills in, and using the values from those fields I made it do a simple calculation. Now I'm trying to figure out how to take the results from those calculations and control the output a bit more. The only way that I have found to print the results from a form in drupal is with drupal_print_message. This works for single result equations, but later I need to be able to end up with multiple results and do more advanced formatting with tables or unordered list.

Do you want to receive an email each time a message is posted to this group? This will allow you to know right away when an event for the Austin group is being planned and, more importantly, the actual details once the host/coordinator has firmed up the plans.

If you aren't already subscribed via email to the threads on the Austin group, here's how you do it.

I am pleased to announce the release of the Drupal "SEO" Checklist Module.

The "SEO" Checklist Module provides a list of good Search Engine Optimization actions that you should take to maximize the presence of your website in the major search engines. It provides little functionality itself but rather it helps you keep track of what needs to be done.

**Benefits:

I was sorry to be out of town and miss the first meeting since I joined the group, particularly as I really would have liked to learn more about Search Engine Optimization On that theme, I have a question now I am wondering whether you covered or whether anyone has any insight into. I tried asking on the Drupal forum but no one responded. Perhaps, since SEO is in focus here at Drupal Austin, some people will find it interesting to address this question.

I am posting this here in hopes that someone else has worked with Todd's BareBones theme and can provide some insight into my issue.. I've got a background-image on the footer that looks fine in FF, but the footer itself is shifted left ~24px (or a couple em's?) in IE6. I think it works fine in IE7 but haven't yet tested there.

The site underway:

(preferred not to be linked.. keeps the crawlers away)

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I'm going to do a presentation to the 501 Tech Club next week (Monday, July 16) on Drupal. The 501 Tech Club is a social/networking organization for tech people at non-profit (so-called 501(c)) organizations. This will be a completely introductory (non-developer) presentation. I think what I'm going to do is start with a laptop and the Drupal 5.1 tarball and show them how, in about half an hour, I can setup a complete community site with Drupal.

If you know anybody who might be interested in seeing Drupal work, feel free to pass along the info.
