Set URL of subpage as main URL
I have a five page site that I'm building. One login, one webform survey and three subpages based on answers to the questions.
The survey URL is www.site.com/content/survey-content. I've set the default front page in Site Info as this page. The client would like the URL of that page to read as just the url www.site.com without the subpage references upon login (it shows as the true URL on login). Pathauto doesn't seem to want to let me do so. After searching around, I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts?

Read moreSynopsis for Broward Drupal Meetup held on September 8th 2010
We are continuing to keep our meetup open to remote users. To participate, all you have to do is send me a skype message stating that you want to join the meeting before the meetup begins (we start around 7pm). My id is hectoriribarne. We share our desktop via Yugma (https://www.yugma.com/products/yugmase-skype-edition.php), since Skype can only share a desktop between two users. We may use team viewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) next time, because I am not sure Yugma lets you pass control of the desktop to another user with the free version.

October Tampa Bay Meetup
We'll be getting together for the 2nd Tampa Bay Meetup in Feather Sound on October 21st. (We plan to meetup on the first Thursday of each month, but due to availability at the chosen location October will be the 3rd Thursday.)
Since our group so far has a pretty mixed level of experience with Drupal, Mike Wright has volunteered to go over setting up a basic Drupal site and how to use cron with regards to Drupal. He mentioned that he would be utilizing one of the Acquia one-click stack installers.
There is wifi available, and Mike will be bringing a projector for the meeting.

Finish What We Started: Coding for a Cause 2010
Waaaaay back in February, we started something that we never completed. Now is the time to do the right thing and finish what we started.
As part of Florida DrupalCamp 2010, we committed to building new sites for two local non-profit organizations: the Greater Orlando Mothers of Twins and Triplets and Junior Achievement of Central Florida. While we made great progress on both sites, but neither site was ever completed. We underestimated the necessary theming effort for both sites.

Using a slideshow in a custom node?
Has anyone created a custom node and inserted a slideshow? Is there a hook that I can use to do this? I noticed that there was a Slideshow_Framework module but it requires that you install the Skip_Validation module in order to get it to work. I am leery of using it because of that.
So if I had a custom node (i.e. node-vehicle.tpl.php) and I wanted the images to display in a slideshow, what would be the best way to approach it? I could create a view to display the slideshow but is that the only way to do it?
Read moreNode not found but you can edit?
I was creating some subdomains for a few nodes this morning and I had a problem with a couple of nodes that "vanished" on me. When I tried to view the node - using the URL alias I created for it - I got a 403 Page not found error. I ended up just deleting the old nodes and recreating them. The strange thing was that I had to change the title of the nodes. If I named it the same I would get the error again.
I tried clearing the site cache to see if that would correct the problem but I was still getting the error. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?

Content Profile module problem after update
The short version of problem:
After updating Content Profile, the Drupal core "add user" link (user/user/create) and the "edit member profile" (profile/profile/1) both give Page Not Found errors. When I disable Content Profile, "add user" functionality is returned.
No new modules were added; only module updates of modules that were all playing nicely together. The Content Profile nodes are unaffected -- they still display fine.

Read moreCustomizing Drupal Views Slideshow
I am working on customizing a Views Slideshow and I was wondering if there was a way to list the title and teaser in little div's off to the side of the main image by changing the CSS. I got slideshow working on www.msvehicles.com. What I am trying to do with the new site is have all of the text appear stacked to one side of the image in their little row containers. Right now, only the text from the currently loaded image shows up. In looking at the output through Firebug, I can see a bunch of inline CSS that hides the teasers from the user. I would like to override it if I can.

Read moreAccessing variables inside multiple arrays in a custom node
I am creating a customer node.tpl.php file for a content type. I found a great video podcast on the basics of creating one at http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast. They have some outstanding tutorials that have really helped me.
I did run into one small problem that they didn't cover in the video. Using the print_r($node) function, I was able to get an output array of the variables that are used to create the content node. I get the part where if I want to display the path in my custom node, all I have to do is something like:
<?php">Click Me
print $node->path
?>
