    Anyone have experience with LDAP authentication.

    I am having a hard time getting it to work. No error messages are being returned but I cannot login.

    Hey guys. I'm putting my efforts into Omega and Drupal 7 right now. I was wondering if any of you have any recipes for an Omega theme/responsive web design setup. I'm looking for modules that are "HAVE to haves" and "are nice to haves" (including WYSIWYG/image upload, and modules for SEO). Are there tutorials that you found got you on the right track?
