User group meeting
After a month off, we're bringing the Drupal meetup back.
I'll come ready to talk about sessions and tricks learned at DrupalCon Boston, but I'd rather spend our time sharing our work.
If you're already working on a Drupal site, show it off.
If you're stuck on a particularly tough problem ask the group.
We'll start sharing at 6. If we don't run out of time I'm willing to talk about DrupalCon. Take a look at the session list to see if there's anything you're especially interested in (http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/sessions)

Laptops?
Will there be a laptop hooked up to an overhead projection system for demos, or should we bring our own?
I'll have my laptop
But I don't think there will be a central presentation machine... So I'd say bring one if you've got it.
Location?
I was going to forward this to my co-workers at UW-Madison, but there's no location info here. Where's the meetup? ;)
Oops
Sorry I forgot to post that.
2820 Walton Commons West Suite 123 (zip 53718)
It's also the location of the PHP Meetup group http://php.meetup.com/125/calendar/7660374/
Location
See the meetup website: http://php.meetup.com/125/calendar/7660374/ If it doesn't show up for you there, that means you need to join the site first.
follow up question
I am trying to use drupal_execute(), but realized that I don't know how to get exact form fields to filled in. Are they the same as on create content type page?
Thank you for reply.
... sorry for double posting - screen went blank and I clicked refresh. don't see an option to delete my own post.
hook_form_alter()
In the demo I used hook_form_alter to var_dump the form so you could see exactly what the elements are called (although I showed this really quickly).
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_form_alter/5
If you make a small disposable module, you can then visit the page with your form on it, to see it's data structure. (This will echo every form, and be annoying, you could restrict it to a particular form, in an if statement, if you already know the form_id).
<?phpfunction testmodule_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
print var_dump($form);
}
?>
thank you, it
thank you, it worked.
hopefully, I'll have something to show next meet up.
