Here we go!! We're going to get down and dirty with some serious Drupal.
We're getting together next Monday at 6pm for Pizza and Drupal! Where? My office in Broadripple. map
Here are some possibilities for the agenda:
- Getting on the same page with CCK+Views
- Getting a grip on Regions and Blocks
- Understanding the "site information" and theme "configuration" settings and how they effect the site as a whole.
- The multiple ways to set up rich user profiles in Drupal6
We can't hit all of that in one night, so you tell me what you want to do. If need be, we can start hitting this once a week and really get this going. I believe that I know a couple people who just might be crazy enough to meet once a week.
We have me, Aaron, Eric, Brad, Ray, Seth, and another Aaron who are hungry for some deep Drupal diving.
Please reply to this thread even if you can't come to the 11/3 meeting. I'd like to hear from Greg, Shelby, Tony, Rebecca, PK, Kevin and Kevin, Alex, Bob, Tanisha, and Mike. Specifically I'd like to know what direction you guys want to see the meetings take. I believe that 6 or 7 of us are about to board the Bullet-Train with the destination of "Drupal Ninja."
The DrupalCampChicago was a life changing experience and the presence of Ray, Eric, Chad, and the Aaron from Bloomington demonstrated to me that the group is ready for some hard hitting Indy Drupal Users Group meetings.
My question is... What can we do to keep this relevant to all?
Your response to this thread will be greatly appreciated.

I'm in
I'd be down for learning about rich user profiles, and CCK+Views would be interesting as well.

Going to Try
I'm going to try and make it. I've been creating my first few modules right now and rich user profiles is something I'm probably going to need to create here soon.
forgot all about the meeting
forgot all about the meeting and not going to be able to make it. Sorry guys
Jinx
Don't wanna jinx myself, but I should be back and able to make this one.
Night before the elections...
As I am working on a Congressional campaign (whose site was developed in Drupal - even before I signed on!), and this is the night before the election, I may or may not be able to make it. I just don't know yet. I do know, however, that after November 4th, I should have no excuses to miss any more meetings. As for direction of the meetings, I'm not sure we should really come to a conclusion just yet. This is a group that is supposed to be reacting to the needs of its members, and that may change from month to month and week to week. I know that last month, I needed multisite help. This month, it's the feed aggregator module. As I get more into Drupal, I see a need to understand the core API, system of hooks and module development so that I can be able to use best practices (and not hack core files).
souvent22 in the house?!
Earnest, it would be awesome to have you. [if you really exist. You may be a bot!]
Would you like to tell the gang a little about yourself and what you do with workhabbit.com ?
and Kevin... I like what you said, "reacting to the needs" I hope that everyone can effectively express those needs in this thread.
Things are REALLY cooking right now and for those of us who want to make Drupal pay our bills... This group is the vehicle to get you there.
Between books, Drupalcons, Drupalcamps, Lullabot workshops, self study, and practical development... We have a huge pool of talent in our group and better yet, the talent is highly contagious!
OK. I'm putting my pom-poms down and getting back to work! :-)
Can't make this one
Unfortunately, I have a commitment on Monday evening. Have a slice of pie for me!

Kevin...I owe you...you know what I'm talking about :) .

I will be there with my new found knowledge from the Drupal Camp Chicago.

Code
Here's the code from the meeting:
<?php
function testme_menu() {
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter().
*/
function testme_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
global $user;
if($form_id == 'block_admin_configure' && $form['module']['#value'] == 'aggregator') {
$form['block_settings']['block']['#options'] = drupal_map_assoc(range(1,20));
}
if($form_id == 'node_delete_confirm' && in_array($roles, $user->roles)) {
unset($form['#submit']);
$form['#submit']['testme_soft_delete'] = array();
}
}
function testme_soft_delete($form_id, $form_values) {
// Soft stuff goes here.
$node = node_Load($form_values['nid']);
$node->status = 0;
node_save($node);
drupal_set_message(t('The node has been soft deleted.'));
}
?>
