Indiana

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Chat with us! Thanks to Neil (IndyTechCook) we now have an #indianapolis channel in the Drupal Slack Workspace!
If you're not already using Drupal Slack, I highly recommend you join at https://drupalslack.herokuapp.com/
Once you sign up and join the Drupal Slack Workspace, click on CHANNELS and you'll see a search interface.
As you begin to enter "indianapolis" you will see #indianapolis appear in the list and you can click it to join.

How/When We Started: The Indy Drupal Users Group started meeting in January of 2008. Since that time we've ranged from meeting once a month, to twice a month, to infrequently. We've had instructional meetups, guest speakers, some hack-a-thons, and even pulled off 2 DrupalCamps.
We haven't had a meetup since Feb 2016.

OLD NEWS: The IndyDrupal Meetup.com Page has been closed. We will be using this forum from now on.
In April 2018 I asked our 251 MeetUp.com members if they wanted to do a meetup and got little response.

Downloadable File Module

A lot of times our clients want to link a menu item directly to a file for download. Typically they have something like a pdf brochure that they want to be downloadable from a primary menu link or linked to from within another node.

In the past we would ftp the file to the server and just set the path to link directly to that file. Now we use a module called 'Downloadable File' that allows the content managers to create these downloadable files without requiring FTP access.

You can get the 'Downloadable File' module here http://features.centogram.com/node/4 .

Special menu for Content Editor Role

I want to create/customize an admin_menu for a certain role. Basically I don't want the content editors to have a menu with only the task that they usually need to perform.

Is there a way to swap out the structure of the admin_menu or possibly add a second menu on a role by role basis?

How 2 Drupal (theming)

Start: 
2010-09-09 18:00 - 20:00 America/Indianapolis
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

By popular demand, we are putting together another How 2 Drupal Class! This one will be all about Drupal theming! The class will be lead by myself and Greg Albright of Greg Albright Design, both graduates from the Herron School of Art, so we are both themers who push the boundaries of Drupal Design.

The class will start at 6 with an overview of theming basics, then after a short break at 7, we will dig into going from a photoshop mockup to a living Drupal Theme. If there is time we will wrap up our session with some tips and tricks for efficient theming development and resources.

Custom Permissions/Roles screen

Hey guys,
I've been lurking around here for a while, but haven't done any posting. I was hoping for some help. I need to create a custom screen for a user with a specific role to add/remove users from specific roles. I also need to allow that user to edit/create rolls from a list of predefined permissions. I'm interested in what input you may have in how to best achieve this. Here are more details:

Upcoming Drupal Dinner

Hey everyone, the next Drupal Dinner is scheduled for August 16! I hope you can make it. We will be meeting at Rockbottom again at 7:00.

preprocess_node problem

I have a phptemplate function that changes a webform field "name" but the original value is still hitting the $content . My DSM values show I'm editing the $vars array correctly. what's wrong?

http://drupalbin.com/15355?nocache=1

<php
function phptemplate_preprocess_node(&$vars, $hook) {
dsm($vars); //output shows expected original values based on webform settings
$vars['webform']['components']['13']['name'] = '($'.$_GET[parkfee].')'; //swap value for a new value
dsm($vars); output shows NEW value as set by the previous line

Need Help - Ubercart Filtering

One of the biggest issues IMO with Ubercart 2.x is that it is not based on Views. Unfortunately, this leads to not having the ability to filter based on taxonomy, price, or any other feature of the product content type.

I am looking for a way to filter a list of products by these attributes (taxonomy, price, etc...) An example would be similar to this page:

Marketing Ideas

Long ago I started a Wiki page asking people to help promote the group and help grow it. It garnered one response. Perhaps the timing now is better than it was then. Here's my recollection to what I came up with. After the call on Monday maybe this Wiki page can be edited and ideas added and people add their names to some items?

MARKETING:
Post announcement in Craigslist
Submit free announcement to NuVo [and any other local rag]
Create simple one page flier with meeting details and submit as PDF to here for the group
