DrupalPDX October Meeting

We're now meeting at the offices of OpenSourcery at 711 SE Ankeny St. Portland, OR 97214.

Brian Gilday of Aha Consulting will be doing a presentation on building with minimal coding:

This topic is geared toward Drupal power users and power user wanna-bes, showing how to make the most of existing core and contributed modules via configuration and some minor coding.

I plan to provide a step-by-step how-to demo of customizing a content type display using Panels2. The solution will provide custom placement of the node title, start/stop dates, teaser, video, related nodes, and file attachments. It will also incorporate placement of custom blocks and views within the node.

The solution will also include the use of node reference, imagecache, Calendar, Date, File Field, Embedded Media Field, and of course CCK & Views.

(Time permitting, I will attempt this in both D5 and D6 to show what is currently workable in D6).

After the meeting we'll probably head to the Green Dragon for a food and drink.
