Ways to add cck units label to fields
Is there another way besides hook_form_alter to add units labels to cck form fields? Units like "kWh", "kWh/month" or even pre-field like "$".
(I keep including "Central Texas" in these little Qs, but I wonder if they've all switched to Joomla out there .. ;) )
Thanks

For some reason my module's form's textfield is not obeying the size => 4 I'm asking it to be. Am I overlooking something (again)?

Southwest Drupal Summit - Houston Jan 27-28, 2011
If you don't know, now you know: Drupal meet-up extraordinaire at the end of this month in Houston, Texas. It's a Thurs/Friday event, so your manager will happily foot the bill for this work-related training. Good for you, good for your organization:
http://www.swdrupalsummit.com/
There will be balloons, prizes, and buttered popcorn*.
I checked the Central Texas g.d.o group and didn't see a related posting..
- I am not an official for the summit, and I can neither confirm nor deny whether there will be balloons, prizes, or buttered popcorn.
See you in Houston!

Drupal living in a subdirectory, needs to respond to www and not look like it's in a subdirectory
I am at a loss here.. A site I am working on has been under a /beta folder sub to webroot (/public_html/beta), and to make it live, rather than moving to root (and having naming conflicts with other lesser apps), we've opted to have htaccess rewrite ^www. over to /beta. Looks good at first, but now Drupal produces links and reference to webassets as /beta/contact, /beta/about, etc.
Is there a way around it? I have tinkered with $base_url in settings.php and RewriteBase in Drupal's .htaccess.
Would prefer not to employ a proxy. Is there something simple we are overlooking?

Register here: http://l10.me/Zk9
Overview
Drupal in a Day will be an overview of creating a Drupal site from start to finish. Participants will start with a blank website and, already having seen the final site, will start with adding and managing users, creating user profiles, adding custom content, and managing that content (including turning on and off comments, or setting comments to read-only). Participants will then create custom content types and look at views to display this content in various parts throughout the site, including custom blocks and list pages, such as a blogroll, the last five images added, or the latest blog posts added to the site.

Drupalcon SF Lodging (~$20/night)
Hello Texas Drupalers!
Are you going to DrupalconSF? Interested in saving some money on lodging? I've been looking into options for cheap lodging and unless I do couch surfing I'll probably get a bed at a hostel. I found some great options on Hostel World with rates around $20/night, but I wanted to see how interested people were interested in sharing a private room. Some hostels are well within walking distance of the Moscone Center, include free wifi & free breakfast.
