Join us on March 14, 2013 at 6:30 pm for Mapping in Drupal 7 - Using OpenLayers
Our next meetup is Thursday, March 14, 2013. We are back to our regular meetup day (Thursday).
We are excited to have a guest speaker, Renee Stephen of http://www.reneestephen.com/ at our next Drupal meetup. Renee will be presenting on:
- Create interesting, attractive location-based maps
- configure a map to use different layers or tilesets (even add your own!)
- use maps to input location-based data
- create maps in Views that show multiple location markers
- maps with themeable pop-up dialogues and links to content pages.
- Modules needed: OpenLayers, Views, Leaflet, Address, and the Geofield CCK field.
About Renee:
- Renee is a CMS Developer and Webmaster at UBC's Department of Computer Science, and co-owner of Panic Stations Media, a tiny multimedia consulting and development shop. She has spent over six
years designing and deploying Drupal sites for mid-size departments and businesses, and has spent ten years working as a web developer in the education and non-profit sector. Last May she spent a month in
Botswana, Africa, deploying a Drupal site on behalf of a support organization for kids with HIV/AIDS. As part of that project, she implemented OpenLayers so that geographical info could be easily added by novice users.
Drupal Showcase/Lightning Talk: We want you to showcase your latest project or share a great development tool with our group. Come prepared to give a short 5 minute talk on any Drupal related topic. If you want to use a laptop to demo a website or admin panel, please be sure you have the necessary cable to connect to the overhead projector. Please contact Katy@seascapewebdesign.com to schedule your showcase.
Drupal Q&A: Bring your questions on anything related to Drupal from how to do something technical in PHP to what modules are needed to implement a feature you need.
Cost: While there is no cost for this event, it would be great if you can come prepared to order something (some of us order dinner, some just drinks) along with a 15% gratuity as we really want to keep up a good relationship with ABC as they've been great in allowing us to book their conference room.
