Build a drupal module
Hello everyone,
A while back I had to customize a entityform form. Try as I might, I just could not find a module to do what I needed. So, I had to take that dread plunge into the the dark work of php, Drupal hooks and functions, and arrays of deaths. Other than additional head trauma, I survived.
So, please come join us this Tuesday evening. I will gladly share what I learned. I will admit that it was a bit scary to start, but once you get the hang of it, it's really is not that bad.
We will get into some code, but mostly we will take about the process, how to utilize the devel module to see Drupal arrays, and how to get around an issue with an required entity reference field and the autocomplete widget type. Hint: (Why is data that is entered into an entity reference autocomplete fields not always save? And it if is not save, why does it pass the required field edit? All good questions.)

Dennis,
Thanks for taking the lead on this. I'm out of town, so you'll need to reserve Ryan's and bring a projector. Also, you'll probably want to post this as its own event via https://groups.drupal.org/node/add/event?gids[]=741

Ah - thanks.
I did not know that Ryan's was not reserved. I just called and took care of the reservation. I have a projector, just need to find a screen.
