User group meeting

It's easy to create content types, but is that always the best solution? Do I really have to have a table for every column of what is actually just some tabular data? Want to be able to edit that data in Drupal without putting it in a node?

Entity API gives you all the tools you need to simplify data that isn't necessarily a node. I will show how I did this for a project at Iowa State. We will also look at EntityFieldQuery as an alternative to views.

Thursday, June 27, 7p - 9p. Room 8 Curtiss Hall, Iowa State University

LOCATION

We'll be meeting in Room 8, Curtiss Hall at Iowa State University (Google Map: http://g.co/maps/a7pzb ). Please excuse the mess in the hallways as parts of the building are being remodeled.

As always, the first hour of the meeting is open discussion/question time. If you have a question, or would like to bounce ideas around with others, please come and share!

Please do sign up so we get a good count.

See you there!
