Twin Cities

Does anyone have a opinion which provides better performance: Creating a View and using a page type display; or Creating a Page and having a view created Block display only show on that page?

The reason I ask: I have View created Landing pages (Teaser list) for site sections, but other View created pages (say a list of users or teams) cannot be part of these landing pages (as far as I know).

So would it make more sense to create a Page (with a teaser), then have that View block show on that Page? Is there any huge performance hit to doing a bunch of these?

Or...?

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Fellow Twin Cities users,

I have an ever ponderously growing website I have set up and maintain for a local Youth Soccer club.
I recently added the ability to let Team Managers manage their Team pages and Calendars.

My question is : What is the best module that will let me select everyone in a specific Role and send out an email to them?

Seems like there should be a module for this, but to search through them all is a bit time consuming.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi, All,

I have put together a document (attached) on what IMHO are some Useful Drupal 7 Modules. I wonder if any of you would be willing to take a look at it and advise me if I'm way off base or if I'm missing anything crucial.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best,

Laurie

I wanted to make our local DrupalCon attendees aware of a few options for somewhere to stay cheaply during DrupalCon.

Of course, it is tax season and I am trying to get as much as I can taken off my business gross income. How do all the rest of you handle your costs for Drupalcon -- there is the cost for the actual meeting (I believe it was $450 last year) and then all the travel -- I put the actual meeting under training, but that does not give me 100% deduction.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Just a reminder that tonight's the night for the February TC Drupal users group meetup from 7-9PM! That's right, the meetings take place on the 4th -- not the last -- Wednesday of the month.

Also, please note that starting this month (tonight), there are two changes to get excited about. First, the location. From now on we'll be gathering at our new venue:

Advantage Labs at Intermedia Arts
2822 Lyndale Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55408

Parking is available in the lots north of the building. Come in the side door facing the parking lot -- there's a big Welcome sign over the door.

Second, the Twin Cities Drupal Commerce and Ubercart group has moved their monthly meeting from the 3rd Wednesday of the month to the 4th Wednesday of the month. Join them from 6-7PM, just before the TC Drupal meeting, to discuss all things e commerce and Drupal. This will also be a permanent change.

We're excited about the new location and back-to-back Drupal learning opportunities. We think you will be too. Join us!

Hi Guys,

I've been out of the Drupal world for a few months and I'm glad to say I'm back. I'm working on a Drupal 6 website that is using a template page to layout the homepage and the content on the Homepage is statically controlled by the template page.
