Integrating a Web Service into Drupal - I need help!
Hi all
I'm banging my head off the wall trying to get this web service job to work and I'm getting no where. After loads of research, it appears that there are only 2 ways which I can achieve what I need - to read in relevant data from a web service on the fly and display it in Drupal and in Views.
The first is the easy option - a module that appears to do exactly what I need Web Service Data

DrupalCon Dublin 2016 - design and branding
Hi,
I just wanted to update you all on the latest news regarding the design and branding for DrupalCon Dublin 2016.
The first time I saw the holding page design was the day after it went live and immediately emailed the Drupal Association to voice some concerns in relation to it. Since then we've had calls with them to give detailed feedback, and also asked if we could get Conor involved in the design process.

Hi,
So as you've all heard by now, DrupalCon is coming to Dublin next year, whohoo! It'll be an exciting, and busy, year for us over the next 12 months but I, for one, am excited about it, and can't wait to make this happen! :)
We had a long discussion about it at the Dublin meetup last week, and while the Drupal Association essentially runs and manages the event, there are things that need to be done by the local community. So one of the first things we need to do is to put a local team together.

Site upgrade from 6 to 7
I have to move a site from 6 to 7 for a small school in north Kildare. Its not a terribly complicated site, a few views, slideshows, galleries etc and a couple of content types. Would I be better off rebuilding and migrating content or going through the upgrade process as described in upgrade.txt?
Any suggestions are appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Rick.
Newsletter Tips
Hi all
I know we touched on newsletter modules at the last meet-up - but now I have a project that will require a newsletter. If I'd known this last week, I would have asked more questions!!! So following from what we discussed, I have done a bit of research and there is loads of ways to create and send newsletters, so I'm looking for peoples opinions of what good and what they are using.
In terms of what I need to be able to do:
When contributors post articles to the website, they can tag the article as suitable for inclusion on the newsletter.

Schema.org Vs Metatag
Is there much of a muchness between the schema.org and metatag modules for setting up open graph and rich snippets on a drupal 7 site?
Do the modules overlap and conflict with each other or is there a clear winner according to the irish durpal users?
