Field relationship, pulls in node title
I've got a question which, I think is something that can be accomplished with php in my content-type.tpl.php, here it is:
Using fields and php, I am trying to identify whether the node I am on shares a value, State (a field),within a specific content-type (clean_air_ambassador), draft page: http://earthjustice.org/50states/karen-monahan-ii
In other words, if there is another 'node' within the content-type clean_air_ambassador, that also is from the same state, field_state value = same , I would pull that node title in and display it as a link to its node. "more 'state' ambassadors"

Drupal Developer (professional or student) for Short-Term Contract/Summer Job @ Cal
Can anyone recommend a UC Berkeley student or pre-approved vendor who might be interested in a short term contract or summer job?
The project is building a package-able Drupal instance designed to facilitate student software design projects. The software is part of a research project at the School of Information. The basic features are complete, but we need help tweaking the existing features, modularizing some of them so that they can be turned on and off easily, and creating an easily installable package of the final product.

How do I eliminate repeats in a View that lists vocabulary terms applied to a set of nodes?
Greetings, local Drupal expert friends. I need some help figuring out how I should solve a problem. I've been struggling with it for weeks! It sounds like it should be so easy, but a variety of different approaches (including a number that I culled from the net) have failed. Let me first carefully explain the issue. Then I'll set up an example. Finally, I'll list (some) of the approaches I've tried.
The problem: My site has a set of nodes that are tagged with two different vocabularies. I need to set up a page that displays a term from one of these categories, and lists the terms from the OTHER vocabulary that are tagged on nodes selected from the first vocabulary. Each of these terms will link to a page that lists nodes that are tagged with both vocabularies.
Ok, I know that sounds confusing; the following example should indicate what I mean.

Read moreQuery about using DreamHost as a hosting site for a UCB staff website
Berkeley Staff Assembly (BSA) is looking at purchasing a year's hosting services with DreamHost, as a low-cost provider that is capable of handling Drupal. I am told there are other campus Drupal-based sites that already use DreamHost for hosting Drupal-based websites. If you are part of a campus group that is using Drupal on DreamHost, or know of a unit that is doing so, I would like to hear from you. I'd like to know about your experiences with DreamHost generally and what challenges you might have had in installing and operating Drupal on their servers.
Thank you,
