Help needed with multi step form
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with a multi step form. The form is basically a questionaire with radio buttons (radios) to select the answers (max 3 choices). When the submit button is clicked on the first page, the radio buttons all seem to stay at their default value. I'm using krumo with the Devel module to inspect the variables. Code below...forgive the messy code...still in development!
<?php
/**
* Valid permissions for this module
* @return array An array of valid permissions for the festivalmanager module
*/
function festivalmanager_perm() {
Hyperlink job post may be of interest to up and coming Drupal dev?
Just thought I'd flag this in case it's of interest to anyone... but please note that applicants are expected to have a good working knowledge of the Irish C&V sector:

Cork meetup April 25th 2012
After getting some interest in a Cork meetup we are going to get it going again starting Wednesday April 25th 2012 at 7pm.
The venue is Souths Bar at the Imperial hotel (http://g.co/maps/5thr8). It's central, won't be overly busy and does not play loud music which were the three criteria I felt were most important. If anyone has an alternative venue that meet these criteria or has a space they could offer to meet in let us know.
Any questions just comment bellow.
See you there!

Read moreDrupal in a day!
We're often asked by clients and potential clients if there are any courses which will give them a good hands-on view of Drupal, what it does, and how to do it.
And now we can say, yes there is.
Aside from bespoke training which we do on a regular basis for clients, we've decided to provide a public training day which is open to anybody.
The course presented is Acquia's "Drupal in a day" , and participants will receive a full course manual.

Thanks to everyone who came along last night. I think it went pretty well. I want to keep the momentum up so here's some ideas. We talked about having short discussions about modules we'd been working with recently. I'd like to use this thread to allow people to propose or request sessions. If you've recently done something awesome or are trying to but getting a bit stuck, then post here and we'll see if we can have a chat about it.
I heard there was a good turnout at the Galway meetup last night too. Fair play all.
Thanks to everyone that came and we hope to see more of you next week.

Theme development workflow
Hi folks
I've been working on several Omega themes using a combination of Firebug, TextWrangler & Filezilla. My workflow is to tweak CSS with Firebug until it looks good, then open the CSS file in Filezilla (with TextWrangler) and save the edits back to server. No source control for this.
I'd be interested to hear what other peoples tools and workflows look like. I'm on a Mac (Leopard) and am looking around for a more functional Mac-based CSS editor if anyone has a favourite.
