Anyone up for postponing til the 31st? I'll have to check on the availability at Caroline, but I was recently reminded that both OpenCamp and DrupalCon will be the week before, and it might be fun to rehash anything interesting we get out of these at a meeting shortly after.
Read morepassing strings through drupal t() function from php snippet
I am trying to use the Drupal t() function to translate some strings provided in the view's header as php like this:
<h3 class="title"><?php print t('Choose a Country'); ?></h3>
...And yet, when I switch languages, this string is always in English. Any ideas why and whether there's a more proper way to implement this?

Video Hosting / Distribution Question
This is regarding only admin / professionally supplied videos, NOT user uploaded videos.
We have a set of videos we need to keep as close to original quality as possible, custom designed for the website, in MPEG4 H.264 encoding - to be as "universally" viewable as possible without any other conversion / transcoding - so we would prefer to not have them tampered with when uploaded (as would happen with YouTube).

ABBA (Tribute band) Concert Tickets available
Hi guys, I've got two tickets to an ABBA tribute band concert donated by the FBWC. The concert is Aug 14th, 8pm at the Stafford Civic Center. I'd like to give them to someone who participated in the FBWC launch event, that is genuinely interested in attending. These tickets are rather expensive, so please only reply if you really intend to go.

Drupal meetings in Japan from 8/11 to 8/20?
Hello! I'm new to Drupal and part of the Houston Drupal user group. I'll be in 名古屋と岐阜市 for two weeks. Are there any Drupal meetups planned during that time in Japan? From Nagoya, I can get as far as Tokyo or Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto pretty quickly. Pretty much anywhere the Shinkansen or JR goes.
Sorry, but as you can probably tell from this message, my Japanese is VERY limited/non-existant. :-(
Hope to meet up with some folks while I'm in Japan!
Read moreNormalized database or better user experience-- which takes preference in a simple app?
I have a Drupal site which lists businesses and client recommendations. 1 business may have 0 or more client recommendations. Clearly the foreign key is on the "parent" business record. In Drupal talk, the nodereference is on the business node.
Read moreglobal variable scope with php include scripts external to Drupal
A Drupal site I'm working on requires that I php-include an external db app for listing records. Outside of the Drupal document root, I can run it just fine, but as soon as I make the php include either from within Drupal or just if it is run within the Drupal folder, none of the global variables are referenced from file to file-- I suspect some apache config somewhere but can't find it.
The application is built up of about a zillion library files with constants, functions, etc. The constants are referenced like you would expect:
function getRecordsCommon() {
