Ubercart Products Question
I am trying to implement Ubercart on an existing website. We currently have products set up (product content type) with additional fields. What do I need to do in order for Ubercart to recognize these fields? Do I need to copy the existing products to Ubercart products? We also need to make the product displays and order forms look like the current site. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drupal Admin Training: March 8, 2010
Announcing the next Boston area Drupal training on Monday March 8, 2010, from 9AM to 6PM, to benefit Cambridge Community Television in sunny Central Square, Cambridge, MA. Enrolling in this excellent workshop will not only provide you with a solid foundation in Drupal site building and administration, it will also 100% sponsor the excellent social media programs operated at CCTV.
This workshop will be lead by trainer Sean Effel of Drupaltherapy, so if you've enjoyed those screencasts then this is your chance to spend a day with the same level of high quality instruction in a supportive learning environment.
This intensive all-day workshop will arm new and novice level Drupal users with a schooling in Drupal basics including installation, configuration, core functions, contributed modules, themeing, and a dose of Drupal stunt driving. This is high quality Drupal instruction in a price bracket that individuals, non-profits and small businesses can afford. Here is a sample of the curriculum we will cover.
If you want a one stop kick-start to the Drupal project, this class will give you a solid overview of all the aspects and help set you on course to better understanding of Drupal. These classes book full very quickly, so register early! Deadline to register is March 1, 2010.

Drupal Hosting
Hi Everyone --
I had a really great time at my first Drupal meetup last week and would like to try my hand at my first drupal site. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can get drupal hosting, or is there a drupal site similar to wordpress.com that lets you create a hosted page?
Thanks for your help and I look forward to the next meeting!

Creating a recurring event (date_field) based on another date field
I'm trying to create a Drupal site where users can register to drop something off using the Date field, and then schedule a pickup date in a specified time frame after that original date (they drop something off on Monday for example, and they can pick from a drop down to pick up on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday).
This would all then be recurring on a weekly, semi-weekly or Monthly basis.

Going slightly mad!-- Views Arguments with Content Taxonomy/ Taxonomy
Hello Bostonians- I am building an artist portfolio site with the usual suspects (views, cck, etc.; + draggable views, which is awesome BTW) and am beating my head against a brick tree here. My client has four types of artwork, which are tagged in taxonomy as Photographs, Paintings, etc. She now would like albums within those categories, and I thought, keen, I'll use Taxonomy to create a second vocabulary of albums.

Our goal is to add VoIP capabilities (phone extensions, voicemail, voicemail groups, conference calls, audio events, etc.) to Drupal websites.

At this meeting we are going to explore the architecture of an existing system (www.whatsuplawrence.org) and brainstorm about the project's next steps.
