DrupalCampPDX Thanks For Coming

Posted by KerryF on May 12, 2008 at 9:06pm

I just wanted to say thank you for coming to DrupalCampPDX, thank you to all of the presenters and volunteers. Today I talked to the PSBA and they were happy how clean everything was left. They told me (neutralSpace) that we are welcome to host other events here in the future. With that being said if we are interested in finding a new location I could work with the PSBA to host our monthly meetings.

Thanks

Kerry

Crossing out of Drupal regions

Posted by drm on May 12, 2008 at 6:50pm

Hey folks,

I've got a block which creates a popup using jquery. But my client wants the popup to appear over the main content, to the right of the block, which is in the left sidebar. But the part of it that stretches over the boundary, outside of the left sidebar, is not visible. I tried using z-index, and that doesn't help.

You can see it at http://devel.indianchiefguides.com/en/germany

No May Meeting

Posted by drewish on May 10, 2008 at 9:01pm

With everyone worn out from DrupalCampPDX we're going to skip the May meeting and regroup in June. I've been discussing a possible move to a new location but we'll keep the current time. I'll post more details when they're firmed up.

DrupalCampPDX 2008 Volunteers Needed

Posted by grantkruger on May 7, 2008 at 9:51pm

The big day is almost here and last I checked, after cleaning up our database, there is just one spot left. To think I thought a cap might not needed and that at most we'd get 50 or 60. Amazing!

Anyway, WE NEED HELP. As you know this is all run by volunteers and we will need more volunteers on the day, to do the following:

Set-up on Friday night
Watching the front door (it is a locked door) in 1-hour shifts all day
Working the registration desk (check if registered, then give nametag) in 1-hour shifts all day
Cleanup and tear-down Saturday evening.

All help greatly appreciated and very much needed. Please reply here to volunteer for anything, no matter if it's just and hour or two. It is all going to be a huge help. Be sure to tell me if your user name here matches your user name for DrupalCampPDX 2008. Also, please mention the areas you can help with (specify number/s) and for how many hours. Or alternatively, I can give you access to our volunteer Google doc (you may need a Google email) and you can fill in what you want to help with.

DrupalCampPDX Registration

Posted by grantkruger on May 2, 2008 at 11:28pm

Per my previous post, if you want to come to DrupalCampPDX 2008 then you need to sign up AND register at the DrupalCampPDX 2008 site ASAP. It looks like there are only 35 spots left. We will be promoting ourselves a bit this weekend at BarCamp and we want to be sure you group members get signed up first. Further, if you sign up and then realize you can't make it, please let us know so that we can free a spot up, if need be. Thanks and looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Two questions about my custom module

Posted by nicknickoli on April 29, 2008 at 6:04am

Hi, I've written a simple module to page tabular query results but I get different results depending on login. The main callback from the menu works great but some other functions don't fire for anonymous users. Do I need to register all these in the menu? Or use a different system?

Also, can any item be added to the Drupal 5 menu with drupal_goto as a callback? We'd like to add some dynamic menu items for admins. Is there a wildcard for paths?

Anyone using or has used Openads (Openx) with or without drupal?

Posted by KerryF on April 15, 2008 at 6:02pm

I am researching ad serving software and came across the openads or openx module for Drupal. Anyone have experience using this with or without Drupal? Or using other ad serving software for publishers. The site is http://www.openx.org/

Creating a test/development site

Posted by drm on April 15, 2008 at 3:20pm

Hi folks,

I need to create a parallel test and development site on a subdomain for a client. It seems like a fairly straightforward task - copy everything over, and then change the database access stuff - that's in settings.php, right? And change the access permissions so that the public is not reading that site.

But I was wondering if there is a tutorial for doing this, or some common mistakes to avoid. I searched on Drupal.org (and google) and didn't find anything, but sometimes the search features aren't that good at finding such things.

Thanks for any tips.

Program for DrupalCampPDX · meeting portland usergroup · portland

Posted by grantkruger on April 14, 2008 at 8:27pm

Hi all. See the full version (click on "Read more") of this discussion for the planned program for our upcoming DrupalCampPDX. Comments and suggestions welcome. Those of you who volunteered for program please let us know ASAP if there are any issues with time slots. We tried to keep everyone who volunteered involved (please let me know if we missed you) and we tried to ensure that programming items on at the same time would overlap in interest as little as possible. However, we had 22 programming items for 10 slots and had to merge several items. Again, please let us know if our decisions trouble you. Also reply here if you want to change the wording for your panel or such.

Note that we are keeping most of the evening and one room open all day for traditional Camp-style programming and socializing. There are also a couple of other places where socializing can occur, most notably some picnic-stle tables just outside the conference center. With plenty to eat and drink we hope that this event will be useful in every way possible. Click on "Read more" to see Program.

Portland April Meeting

Posted by drewish on April 4, 2008 at 7:21am

Start:

2008-04-09 18:30 US/Pacific

Event type:

User group meeting

I just started a new job that's got me totally busy hacking on D6 trying to build out an internationalized site so I'm learning plenty of new stuff--but the downside is I've turned into a total slacker on everything else and didn't do any planning for the April meeting. I'm sure we'll have something like 30 minutes of discussion about the programming for the upcoming DrupalCampPDX.

But can someone save my butt and present a topic? Can everyone pick a module that they like and do a 5 minute pitch for it? Otherwise the silence will drive me crazy and I'll subject you to a boring talk on how great D6 does i18n.

DrupalCampPDX Programming wiki FREEZE tomorrow night

Posted by grantkruger on April 2, 2008 at 1:09am

We want as many of you as possible to participate in programming so please join the fun. A mix of knowlwdge and perspective adds value to programming.

Please remember that if you would like to be a part of formal programming then you need to update the DrupalCampPDX wiki before tomorrow night is over. Remember to add your names to existing items if you would like to be part of a panel discussion on that subject. We still need need more "lightening" programming items, though we will also have sign-up for these and other BarCamp style items at con.

Also, if you have already signed up and your talk/panel will NOT be an hour long, please mark it with your estimated time.

Thanks all,
Grant

Google index

Hello all,

I can't figure out why Google won't index my site. I'm super frustrated! Is someone willing to talk me through this?

State of DrupalCampPDX programming

Posted by grantkruger on March 27, 2008 at 5:47am

So our DrupalCampPDX committee met tonight and many things were discussed. Many plans were made and many beers were drunk. Others will post soon enough I'm sure, but here's two IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING ANNOUNCEMENTS:

If you would like to be a part of formal programming then you need to update the DrupalCampPDX wiki as soon as possible. We have to finalize our programming lineup soon, so we will be freezing the programming wiki in a week (Wednesday 2nd April). Thereafter we aim to present a tentative schedule to the next Monthly meeting one week later. Remember to add your names to existing items if you would like to be part of a panel discussion. We still need need more "lightening" programming items, though we will also have sign-up for these and other BarCamp style items at con.
Those of you who have already volunteered programming items, we need you to edit the wiki and add an estimate of how long you think you need (30 mins, 45 mins, 60 mins, 75 mins or 90 mins). Better we don't have to guess ;).

Programming suggestions are still very welcome. You are all the ones setting the agenda. The evening will have casual discussions and ideas for programming are welcome. Anyone want to run werewolf or something like it? Other ideas?

Some other programming and related notes (subject to change):

New Drupal Modules Site

Posted by rjleigh on March 17, 2008 at 4:24am

Not sure if this has been widely publicized yet, but the new drupal modules site is operational. Hopefully this will develop into a meaningful way to evaluate the quality and adoption of contributed modules. It is outside of drupal.org, though, so maybe it will not really reflect actual drupal use.

The module finder is way cool, though. check it out!
