In September Michael talked about the modules he created using Features that he finds useful for developing and maintaining numerous Drupal sites.
This meeting I will cover creating a feature. I will copy an existing slideshow implementation into a self-contained module made with the help of the Features module. With this feature I can deploy the functionality of this slideshow to multiple sites, and maintain it with other developers and site builders, without having to do any database merging.
Last meeting, I forgot to bring the BuildAModule.com gift certificate, so we will be giving that away at this meeting (it's in my laptop bag so I won't forget it this time).
Thursday, November 14, 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 ). Construction is now complete and the east entrance to Curtiss hall is now open. If you enter via the east door you will go all the way back, go up one level and turn right until the end of the north wing. The building is scheduled to lock at 8pm fall semester.
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!
