Read moreOct 3 Un-Party, Mid Autumn Festival
I posted a version of this on couchsurfing. I though I might add a pinch of geekiness to the party mix. (with CS found and replaced with Drupal... hehehe)
Yes, I know, traditionally, it's supposed to be spent with family, but for a lot of us who aren't with their families this mid-autumn, why not spend it together?
On the evening of Oct. 3, we will be bringing picnic blankets, finger foods, drinks, wine, beer and chilling it out at the Deep Water Bay on the south side of HK island.
Read moreNeed help setting up users
I want to create a Supervisor role who has the rights to create other users for the site. But if I gave "administer users" rights to Supervisor, I found that he will be able to block me (the admin) out. What's more, this Supervisor will not be able to assign the newly created users to the predefined roles unless I also gave him the "administer permissions" rights. And with that rights, he can practically do anything he wants, which of course, is not what we want.
Any comments?
Thanks
Read morealter imagefield field
Hi everyone !
I need your help to resolve my problem.
I created a cck imagefield in my content type. The maximum values for this field is unlimited. But sometime, I need to alter this value (limit this value to 1 for exemple). You know how I can do that ? Probably I can use hook_form_alter but I don't find the parameter to overwrite (list, delta...) ???
Thanks for your help !

webforms in panels
Has anyone else tried to use webforms in a panel? Generally everything is working ok, except for some usability issues.
- if there is an error in the webform validation (missing mandatory fields, invalid email format, etc.), the page redirects to the webform node page with the error messages, and not to the original panel page (specifying internal:panel-page-url seems to work only for successful submissions)
A HKDUG site to promote Drupal thanks to Acquia?
http://buytaert.net/free-acquia-hosting
Folks, we had been talking about setting up a sandbox environment since forever! With the new developments in D6 and D7, isn't this a good opportunity for us to get a free hosting space, set up a tutorial space and a testing / sandbox space... etc?!
Let's think of a good domain name! Here are some suggestions:
hkdug.org
hkdug.com
hkdrupal.com
hkdrupalug.com

Flickr API and FeedAPI questions (making a photo blog)
Posted this on the RSS & Aggregation group, cross posting here to see if some of you can help.
Basically, I'm trying to streamline a process, so I can tag and comment of my photos in Picasa, upload to Flickr, have them pulled back down onto my Drupal blog, then I pick some and group them together into a blog entry.
This is how far I've gotten:

How to do a minor release upgrade?
What is the proper way to do a minor release upgrade, say from 6.12 to 6.13? My current drupal was installed under /drupal-6.12. Should I unzip the package to /drupal-6.13, then copy all the files under /drupal-6.12/sites to the new directory, change the domain to point to the new drupal root, and then run update.php? Or should I unzip over the current /drupal-6.12 directory and overwrite all the files there.
Thanks!

I've just realized that this group existed.
I couldn't make it to Barcamp 2009 yesterday, so I'm wondering when the next HK DUG meeting is going to take place.
Is there a regular schedule and location? I couldn't find it anywhere on the group.

Alternative drupal learning groups?
If you think the hk drupal meet up isn’t frequent enough (I am not criticizing ;-)) or seems pretty advance for you (for me anyway) or not quite your subjects (sometimes) or prefer Cantonese speakers meet up, then read on….. ….
First of all, I just want to know is there anyone reading this forum often and do want to get together more frequently to learn, but for other reasons or any of the reasons above that u can’t.
I am not sure how would this work out, so ;
1. Open to suggestions, perhaps someone who has setup some meet up group before.

Read moreActive menu based on URL path
Hi, there.
I've hit a snag. I have a 2 level menu structure and using the same menu for primary and secondary, like so
Item 1
-- Item A
-- Item B
Item 2
-- Item C
Item 3
-- Item D
-- Item E
Item 4
All menu items link to panel pages. What I want to do is when I click Item B, Drupal should still consider Item 1 as the active menu item.
