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.

New websites - one from ZEN
Hi folks,
Stranger Greg Albright here. Just wanted to let everyone know about two new websites I just launched.
1) http://indyrotary.org
This site was a collaborative effort from the great folks at Promethius and yours truly. So far, so good. This site features a lot of OG capability because we have over 20 committees in the club. I spent a lot of time editing CSS on this site and still find small areas that can forevermore, be tweaked. It's received great response thus far.
Chat Module
Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend me a good chat solution for Drupal 6. I am trying to evaluate different solutions like DimDim, 123FlashChat Server, avchat(avchat.com)..
Has anyone used any of these solutions.. Will U recommend any?
I will be using this for a Learning Management solution. I would like to host online presentations, do whiteboarding, have the ability to control the time the chat sessions are on; All chat sessions will need to be stored and indexed for later retrieval. I will be using the apache solr module. That part seems to work fine.

Image Gallery Video
Here is the link to the video we were discussing in the hackfest today. In the View type of "Node Content" under "Node content settings" I had the Default Arguement set with the token [nid], but once I removed that it seemed to work ok.
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach
There still seems to be a caching issue of some sort. Sometimes when I add an image it displays fine... sometimes it doesn't until I come back later. It has been suggested that the Views Cache needs to be cleared separately than the Flush All Caches that the admin menu provides.

OK!
It's been just shy of 6 months since I posted a discussion with the exact same title as this one. "Doug Vann - Unemployed"
While my 5 months at SlingShot SEO inc were awesome, they are going in different directions and don't need a dedicated Drupal developer on staff.
But who does? Maybe you know someone? Maybe its you?
Spread the word and let me know what you find.
I'm already involved in some contract work and [now more than ever] open to more. :-)
I'll see you all [many of you, I hope] at the 3rd Indy Drupal HackFest this Saturday!

lightbox 2 help
OK here's how it goes...
I have CCK+Views2 making a gallery.
I have individual images as thumbnails in the gallery-view.
When you select an image you are treated to the oh so cool if not ever popular Lightbox2 display of.... the node page in an iframe. The iframe contains a whole webpage crammed into the lightbox. I don't want the header region, left and right regions, or back-ground images in the rendering.

Version upgrade on Mac
Last time I tried to update my version of drupal from 6.10 to 6.11 I wiped out all development I'd done because Mac replaced the modules folder with the new one instead of only overwriting existing files. Now 6.12 is out and I need to do this correctly. Who's got the magic tonight?
