User group meeting
Please come with questions, and we will do what we can to assist.
I can do a little site maintenance and administration (at the command line via Drush if people want a Drush 101)

Hope to see everyone soon!

In Virginia that week. Hope to catch up with the North Jersey meetup soon in the New Year. :)
Hope to see you next month
I usually try to schedule this meetup with a week birth of the NJ meetups in Fairlawn and the NYC Drupal Meetup, but obviously I wasn't paying attention to Meetup.com LOL. Have fun in VA :)

Looking forward to tomorrow
Looking forward to tomorrow night, this meetup tends to be smaller and more intimate. If there is stuff you are having issues with this is a great way to get them answered.
See you tomorrow ;)

E-mail and Advanced Forums
It would be great if we could have a look at getting e-mail and Advanced Forums to play together.
Two problems I have are:
1. markup showing up as plain text
2. e-mail message not showing up in the forum
I'm using:
I'm also using mailman for the mailing list/listserv (provided by my webhost)
I have a separate e-mail account for each forum (as provided by my webhost)
I created an input format just to be used by the mailhandler.
I have unchecked all options for this input format except HTML Corrector and Image Resize filter.
I'm not sure if I even need the image resize filter. Maybe I could do without it initially.
Originally I had associated this input format with a wysiwyg editor. But since this is only for importing e-mail into the Drupal site, I realized that this association didn't really make sense.
To be more specific about the mark up. It looks like something is trimming off the open angle bracket (<) so the rest of the mark up is not recognized as mark up.
Oddly, the open angle bracket (<) is present in the database.
Looking forward to my first Norther NJ meetup.

Load and save a node programmatically
Another issue that I would like to discuss is how to load a node, add values to a node->array and save the node programmatically in CCK and Drupal 6.14. It seems to be more complicated then this:
<?php
$myNode = node_load($nid);
if(isset($myNode->field_array)){
$myNode->field_array = array();
}
foreach((array)$myNode->field_array as $values){
if(!isset($values)){
//in_array(needle, haystack)
if(!in_array ( $some_user , $values )){
$values[] = array('uid'=>$some_user);
}
}
else{
$values = array();
$values[] = array('uid' =>$some_user);
}
}
$myNode->field_array = $values;
node_save($myNode);
unset($values);
unset($myNode);
?>
Last night was fun, look
Last night was fun, I am looking forward to the future of this group :)
If anyone has any ideas for future meetups please share here or feel free to hit me online I am robbiethegeek everywhere, AIM, gchat, twitter, facebook, .com :)
Hope to see everyone again next month,

Agreed. I enjoyed myself
Agreed. I enjoyed myself immensely. It was a pleasure to meet Robbie, Charles and the others (my apologies, i've forgotten the other names). I'm grateful that you were willing to consider some of my Drupal challenges. I'll definitely be back for subsequent meetings.
I'll post some of my notes when I get the chance. This will give everyone a chance to correct, refute or confirm my take-away.
As far as ideas for future meetups, the only thing I would suggest is that we dedicate maybe half the time to a specific topic, be it theming, API, CCK, core, admin, layout, graphics, lo que sé and tackle it in a bit more structured manner. I enjoyed the free-for-all and would like to continue that, but some times a little structure helps. Although i'll still continue to attend if only the free-for-all format dominates.
I would be open to help brainstorm the challenges of other attendees' pet projects.
I realize this is all very general. I'll post something more specific when it occurs to me.
