Add a Marker in GMap
I've got a new site that's using the D6 GMap module along with Location. It does a nice job of showing me locations of users and nodes, thus far. However, I'd like to show the location of an event (this event is the subject of the entire website) on ALL the GMap's I generate whether for users, nodes, whatever. I only dabble in javascript enough to know that I can add the marker I want using something like this:
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(GLatLng(40.86997,-92.91825)); // my addition
DrupalCorn - Drupal Users Group Meeting March 28th 7pm - Hofmockel demonstrate Pantheon service.
DrupalCon was awesome! This year I took a much different approach. I was much more selective about the talks I went to and spent the remainder of the time in the exhibition hall talking to other firms about their internal process of creating Drupal sites/applications. Holy S*%t my favorite talk by far was "Advanced Drush". It exploded my brain. I walked out with a whole new perspective on how to manage code, DB, teams, servers, ..... http://chicago2011.drupal.org/sessions/advanced-drush

March Meeting...
Considering the lack of turn-out for the meeting on Feb 22, do we need to rethink the strategy here? We have 36 members of the group and yet we seem to not be scratching an itch. What can we do to make this a more vibrant group? Especially asking those that are members and have not been able to attend a meeting.

We have a Drupal Meeting coming up. And even though I have been so busy and have not been able to organize a formal discussion, I still want to meet. Plus I still have a lot to think about after the presentation on Jquery/Drupal by Michael Bosworth.
Let's just go straight to Old Chicago and work this in reverse for this once? Please sign-up so I know how big a table to get.

I'm working on a site that's asked for a golf scores tracking page where they can record scores and dates for a host of golfers to calculate handicaps and track things like tournament eligibility, etc. A key element of the system is that my admin needs the ability to enter 10 or more scores for a single golfer in one session (he typically updates the system every 2 weeks). Simple enough, right?

Read moreGood Drupal Host?
Doesn't look like I will make it to the Eastern Iowa meeting tonight after all... I'm having issues with my internet host that I need to deal with.
Yesterday I received an e-mail from my current host indicating that I've breached a "new" limit on my "unlimited" hosting plan.

One topic that came up last night was a better name for the group. We are looking for suggestions. Please comment with suggested group names and we will make a selection at the next meeting.
Items to bear in mind on the name:
1) nicely tweetable
2) identifies us uniquely
3) assists in identifying our locality
