User group meeting

The August meeting of the San Diego DUG is happening on Wednesday Aug 8th at 7:00pm at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.

As usual, we'll start off with introductions and news items.
Then we will review noteworthy items from DrupalCampLA, 15 minutes max. And Diana Farias will inform us of upcoming planning items for SANDcamp 2013.

For the main course:
On August 1 a complete rework of phoenixcollege.edu was launched on Drupal. Zakiya Khabir, Rich Yumul and Burt Lo from Sage Tree will show interesting and juicy bits from under the hood.

Possible items:
- mega menus
- local menus
- themekey
- photo gallery
- ctools content types
- architecture of the athletics section
- flexible landing pages.

Next, we'll get into some lighting talks...

Lightning talks give anyone (and I mean anyone - you, the person next to you and the one across the room) the chance to discuss a recent Drupal thought, observation, or experience that takes five minutes or less to talk about. You can teach us something, wonder out loud why X doesn't work like you think it should, or ask questions about some Drupally thing you're struggling to understand. The only rule for Lightning Talks is that you're going to be stopping at five minutes whether you're done or not. Other than that's it's fair game, so step up and have fun!

We'll try to save some time at the end for general mingling and catching up.

Newcomers are always welcome, bring any of your friends that might be interested in learning about Drupal. We hope to see you on Wednesday at the Balboa Park Hall of Champions.

Thanks for the presentation tonight. I love the site, especially the design. You guys did a great job.

P.S. This is for newbies: After the lightning talk, Andrew did get my View working that uses a Contextual Filter & Relationship, dynamically showing a list of albums for an artist (http://views.discography.by/node/1 ~ http://views.discography.by/node/5). Thanks buddy, you rock!

Actually, we didn't even need

Actually, we didn't even need the relationship, we just needed to use the right field for the contextual filter =P
