December Meetup /WILL/ happen!
This post is a double-reminder: first, please be advised that OpenSourcery's offices have moved. We are now meeting at the Lovejoy Building at 1636 NW Lovejoy (between 16th and 17th). As always, the meetup is open to the public and absolutely free.
Second, due to the somewhat frenetic pace of our move, there was some question as to a topic. But confusion leads to unpredictable gifts: in this case, two (informative if informal) topics.

Paying to get CCK in Drupal Core
Hi everyone,
I'm sure like me you've used CCK in the past. Right now there is an effort to get CCK into the core and they are looking for donations. I'm going to chip in and I wanted you to know just in case you wanted to do the same:

FCK Image Assist Help
Am having a little problem with the FCK Editor module and was wondering if anyone could help out.
We have loaded FCK Editor module version 2.6.3 onto Drupal 5.10 on our dev server.
The editor works fine except when using the image assist.
The image assist link looks in /img_assist/load/fckeditor?textarea=body
and pops up a blank page.
However, the drupal image assist module goes to /img_assist/load/textarea?textarea=body
This is where we currently upload images.
I've read through the FCK Editor documentation but it is not clear to me on how to resolve this issue.

Web Site in a Weekend
A few users' group meetings ago, some of us talked about doing community service projects as a users' group, helping a local non-profit get a drupal Web site in place. Since then, a project putting the Rose City Resource Guide has come to my attention. I wanted to bring it to the attention of the group in case others would like to get involved.
Read moreNew location for Drupal Meetups
OpenSourcery is still the world's happiest Drupal Meetup host, but we've moved to some bigger digs. Our new office is located at 1636 NW Lovejoy (updated map is forthcoming on the DrupalPDX page), and all other contact information is the same.
The time will remain: second Wednesday of every month from 6pm until 8pm. We encourage the use of public transportation (we're on the streetcar line).
We look forward to seeing you all there. As always, the event is free and open to the public.

http://calagator.org/events/1250456151
Last December, many of the local software developer User Groups banded together and had a party (instead of the regular meetings). It was known as the Winter Coders Social: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/pdxcoderssocial/?page=3
In August, we had a Summer Coder's Social as the outdoor and sunny successor!: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/pdxcoderssocial/
Now, we're having a second Winter Coders' Social. Good and geeky times will be had by all. Come join us.
Bring yourself, games if you have them, and a dish to share.

I have a business owner I've done some work for in the past who needs a site done, and unfortunately, I'm not able to get to it right now. It's a site that would be pretty cool to do in Drupal. The business is an online retailer of mountain bikes and accessories, and he's building a new front end using Magento. The Magento setup will contain four different stores What he needs is a middle ware application where he can get product data from supplier web sites, and then choose which products to insert into which of the four stores.

Drupal 5 to 6 conversion; experience with deadwood
Hey folks,
I have a client who wanted me to tell him how long it would take to convert a custom module in his site from 5 to 6, should he decide that the time has come. I've been working in 6, but have only done modest conversion so far.
I ran deadwood on it (drupal.org/project/deadwood) and it gave a rather long listing of TODO items that it couldn't convert, but none of them look particularly onerous. It gives the impression that converting this rather long and complicated module might not be such a big deal.

Document Import API
Does anyone know how to get document import api working? The README file is not helpful and I can't find an answer to the errors I"m having, which is that it won't parse anything, even an image even though the parser for that is already there, in the module.
This is the error I get when I upload a file:
warning: move_uploaded_file(/-1 atrium.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /mnt/local/home/wimaxforum/beta-wimaxforum.org/modules/docapi/docapi.module on line 312.
Twitter Module
someone mentioned using a twitter module a few weeks ago.
I was curious if you can control what it grabs as text when it automatically posts to twitter and if you can control what URL is linked to it.
Thanks.
How do I make items sort by taxonomy term and by newest post date in Views?
I am just learning how to use views because I need to make a page that shows a bunch of items and I need to have a couple different views available to to user. I need to show the items by newest post date and I need to be able to split them up in to separate categories by taxonomy term. Ideally, on the categories end I would like the page to split in half and show one category on top and the other on the second half of the page. So far I just have a gridview that shows everything.
Can you guys give me some pointers?
Thanks,
Becky
