DrupalCampPDX 2009 Reminder
Just a reminder that tonight is the first meeting for us to determine how/when/where/who/what we are going to run DrupalCampPDX 2009.
It is saved as an event and more people signed up than expected. I think we're going to pack out that restaurant, so if you're coming please be sure to sign up and if you signed up but can't make it anymore then please cancel your sign-up. I'll get there early and try to hold on to a clump of tables.

Site hosting in the Portland area
High everyone. I am getting close to being ready to go live with my first Drupal site. I'd appreciate any recommendations for a company to host the site. I would prefer a company based in the Portland area if possible. My site will likely be low traffic at first, but (I hope) grow into something more over time, so I need a host with the ability to scale with me as I grow. Any help is appreciated.

beginning theming question
Hello,
I am new to the group, or new to speaking up anyway... I hope that this is the right place to ask...
I am working on my drupal skills and have set out to build a "simple" shopping site for my sisters' jewelry business... I am just getting started with building my own theme and have run into something that I cannot seem to work around:

Adding Profile Information to a Blog or any other Node
Hi Folks - I am looking for some guidance - hopefully one of you can help.
Basically - I am trying to create a Blog Author information Box to every Blog Entry Node - I want to include a custom Profile Field "profile_bio" that is filled out by the user at Registration time. Does anybody know how to do something like this?
I am hoping to have it similar to this WordPress theme: http://snowboardproject.com/featured/looking-good-feeling-good-von-zipper/
I created the Profile Field called: "profile_bio" - /admin/user/profile
Now I want to add that to my node-blog.tpl.php
I tried:

Related Fields in CCK
I'm looking for three fields, a dropdown, a text field, and a numeric field that can be added as a set on a complex form. The user should be required to enter one set and then able to add additional sets as needed.
I've tried Matrix (text field only, but I could live with that if it could actually be set as a required field and allow the addition of multiple fields. I looked through other CCK modules, but most were in alpha and beta, so I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar need and how they solved it.

Lightning Talks @ Feburary Meeting
For the February meeting we're going to be doing a series of lightning talks. If you haven't seen this format before I think you'll enjoy it. Each speaker will have a fixed amount of time to present a topic. It could be showing off a module you like, showing of a site you worked on, or demonstrating a trick you've discovered.
I'll suggest 7 minutes as the time limit for each talk but I'm open to discussion on that point.
Read moreAcquia Drupal
Anyone using Acquia Drupal? It seems to give you a small edge by having a larger core that encompasses many excellent contributed modules. The advantage seems to be that you get to update Drupal core and all of these modules with a single download, instead of updating modules one at a time and core separately. However, it does have Acquia modules that appear to be designed to rustle up business, though they can be turned off. So, is it worth it? I know there are some efficiency concerns for some. What are the upsides and downsides?

So I brought up DrupalCampPDX 2009 at last night's DUG and there was much interest as well as interest in helping to make it happen. However it was pointed out that there had been a lot of interest at prior meetings and yet nothing had come of it, so the suggestion was that we simply set a time for those of us interested in making this happen to meet, and just meet. So a few of us agreed that about two weeks time sounded good, and here it is.

Testing my latest Drupal creation
Hello Portlanders. Was great to meet y'all last month, my first meeting. A really nice bunch we've got! Looking forward to our next meeting tonight.

January Drupal Meetup
We're fortunate to welcome Todd Tomlinson, a managing partner with Aha Consulting, to speak with us about Panels. Todd has 30+ years in the IT industry and also serves as the Senior Professor and Area Chair for the School of Information Technology at the University of Phoenix - where he teaches web design and development. Todd has been involved in developing web CMS solutions since the mid-90's - focusing his efforts on Drupal for the past 3 years.
Todd describes his presentation as follows:
"Panels 2.0 is a powerful and feature rich toolset that every Drupal developer should have in their tool belt. Panels provides the ability significantly enhance your ability to render content on your site through a simple point/click/drag and drop interface. I will go through the process of creating a project management workbench using Drupal 6, Panels 2.0 and Views."

Questions! Forums in drupal? Anonymous comments by content type?
Allright everyone, two areas I'd like some input on!
First: Forums
What do you use for forums on your own drupal sites? I've wanted to avoid going the forum route to gain additional repeat visitation but it's become nescessary. The one built into drupal is extremely lack luster. What is the easiest and most functional when integrated in your experience?
Second: Anonymous Comments by content type?
Read moreUser type is set to be able to edit nodes, but can't?!?!? I've spent hours on this...
Allright, I'm working on this webpage:
I have a user type: "sbcdirector" who is set to be able to edit nodes, and edit content types called "pages" such as the club info page.
For whatever reason, when I log in as a test account, I can't edit any of the pages.
There's something hiding somewhere, or I have found a serious bug. The pages were created by me, the admin. Does this perhaps supercede the ability for users to edit what I've created?
As always, some ones time would be appreciated.

Views Drupal 6.x Security Hole
I just want to be sure everyone knows about the Views security vulnerability...
------------DESCRIPTION------------
The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to
control how lists of content are presented.
When using an exposed filter on CCK [ http://drupal.org/project/cck ] text
fields with allowed values, Views does not filter the data correctly. This may
allow malicious users to conduct SQL injection [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection ] attacks against the site.
------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------
Read moreAn update and a question concerning xml sitemap!
Hello everyone,
I haven't been around for a bit and haven't been involved in the group, so I appologize. I've been swamped with this semester at PSU, promoting the heck out of my business (powered by drupal) and the list goes on. Plus I apparantly wasn't signed up to get emails from this group or event notifications. I figured they'd ask me that when I joined the group, or sign me up automatically. Do they ask? If not they should!
