Beer, pretzels, and Drupal in SE Michigan.
The intention of this group is to possibly foster a friendly user group meeting for Drupal in SE Michigan similar to semislug.
No current plans for such a meeting to take place, but it takes a group to set that up. This is the beginning of that.
I've been lacking as an admin of this group. Should someone who has been here a while want admin of this, message me.
Notes on advanced Views
The following are some notes from the presentation on advanced Views. I have linked to the module (with the content type and view) used for the demonstration.
We started by creating a simple view using the Views UI, then we loaded it into our code so that we can modify it. For this example, we outlined four steps for using Views in the code:
-
- Load the view
- The view object is loaded and stored in a variable
-
- Build the view
- The view query is built based on all the options that the object contains

July a2Drupal
Now that the heat wave is subsiding (slightly) and Art Fair is over, we know it is the middle of summer. We are towards the end of July, so that means it is already time for another a2 Drupal meeting!
This month, Mike Monan of TechReprieve has volunteered to give us a rundown "on the services module and how to use it." It should be interesting.
Location: Spark Central (downtown Ann Arbor)
Time: 7pm - 9pm
See you all soon!

Hi everyone, this is your friendly day-of reminder that a2drupal is meeting tonight! As Mike noted last week, we are meeting at 7:00 at Spark Central in downtown Ann Arbor.
This month, we will be taking a look at Open Atrium, which is a really nifty project management tool similar to the ubiquitous Basecamp. If you are looking to have a fairly robust system without all of the clutter, then you should definitely come on down and check this out!
See you soon.

Help with data import project
Hi! My name is Justin Coffey and I'm really looking for some ideas/suggestions on how to complete a task on a project I'm working on.
The site I'm developing is acting as a "web portal" for independent sales representatives. At this time, I'm working independent from the company but with their go ahead. As a result, my goal is to not ever directly link up with their servers or databases at their corporate headquarters.
Here is a brief example of the real world workflow:

See you soon.

Set default input filter for particular form item
I thought there was a way to configure particular form items (usually textareas) to use a particular input filter by default that may be different than the global default set in /admin/settings/filters. Does anyone remember that or am I imagining things in my coding delirium?

Read morea2 January Meeting
I hope everyone had a great December! Now it is the last Monday of the month, and unless you are getting supplies for the upcoming snowpacolypse redux, you should come out to Ann Arbor to hang out with a bunch of your fellow Drupalites.
We've got a very loose agenda today--just catching up and seeing what cool projects or (Drupal) problems people have had lately. Hopefully some of us have been taking the d7 leap and have started to do the really interesting and challenging projects in d7 instead of d6, so if you have, come on out and tell us about it.
Hope to see you all this evening!

Read moreManaging content as nodes in a separate database
I am managing a site with over 19 million business listings. Cloning a database this size is daunting and time-consuming. Most of this data is static, but there are some definite advantages to managing it as nodes. In a perfect world, I'd like to be able to move these 19M nodes to a separate database so that I could easily clone the rest of it for development and testing, but I can't think of any way to do that that will allow me to keep working with the data through the Drupal Node Module with its incumbent advantages.
