NNJ Drupal Offsite
While we meet regularly onsite at NJIT, in order to maintain some momentum on our fledgling group project we had agreed to meet offsite in between our onsite meetings.
However, the day and time (and perhaps even the location) are in question.
So: What day would you like to meet?
What time would you like to meet?
Where would you like to meet?
It would be great to have some consensus by our next regular meeting.
Thanks,
Tom

jQuery Update and jQuery UI Problem
I am having a trouble getting these to work on D6.
The basic problem is page load order. jQuery Update puts the updated jQuery library on the page AFTER the jQuery UI files.
I need the jQuery Library to be updated first, and the UI libraries to load second, but I cannot understand how to do this simple task.
I hope this was explained well.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Many Thanks.

Does anyone know how the Drupal issue queue is built? Does it use a single module? Or what modules does it use? I'm interested in building something like it and don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Read moreHelp the NNJ Meetup by Nominating Modules to Upgrade from 6 to 7
Last night the NNJ Meetup Group voted to find modules that need to be upgraded from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and upgrade them. We are all scouring Drupal.org to find any and all of the modules that need a little love. We hope to lighten the load for module developers, make Drupal 7 more flexible and at the same time increase our own module development skills.
You can help us by simply telling us about modules that need upgrading,

Some tools to look at, that will help with our mission to upgrade modules:

You might want to go to the Coder Module page http://drupal.org/project/coder and do some reading. There are also pointers on the page to other modules that extend its capabilities.

I think last night was a seminal moment in the evolution of the NNJ meetup. We have been gathering steam over the past few months and have seen attendance rise. Last night however, we found a direction or mission if you will. While I think we will sharpen the focus as we go along, we have found our purpose, or as Tom put it to me earlier today we have gone from gestation to birth.

Central NJ Lunchtime Meetup anyone?
Making evening meetups is difficult for me; maybe for you, too. So I was thinking about lunchtime meetups, wondering if there would be any interest in the idea with the members of this group.
Anyone?
