User group meeting
Southern Oregon Drupal members, it is time for us to revive our local user group and actually meet in person!
This first meeting we will have a presentation/discussion on the up-in-coming Drupal 8 release. What is so exciting about Drupal 8? What does it mean for site-builders and end-users? How soon can we use it for production websites?
All levels of Drupal users are welcomed!

Hey how did it go?
Miss y'all! I'm still up in Eugene.
I had a question for you --
I'm working on a Drupal Commerce of mine where I want to sell tea.
It comes in oz, lb, and grams - so I am using https://www.drupal.org/project/physical to define the products 'weight'
I'm also using one product display > multiple products (with weight)
and this patch: https://www.drupal.org/node/1226466 to show the Weight / Price in the "Add to Cart" form.
To be honest, this feels kinda crazy. How would you do it?
The crazy part, is sometimes products weight is defined differently for sales purpose. 4oz. (physical weight) + packaging (negligible weight) may be described as 1/4 # to customer.
Feels like maybe I need a multi select field on the product entity (Weight) which is the description of the weight. AND a weight field for the physical weight (for shipping purposes).
The limitation I'm reaching, is I can't find a user friendly field/ widget for that purpose - where I can enter in weights free-form on the spot, or choose pre-existing ones. Sometime's I'll just get a random tea, that's 390g or something, and I don't want to enter it into the 'allowed values' list for the multi select field. Would a taxonomy free form field be better?
Thanks for advise.
It will take regular meetings
It will take regular meetings and some time to get more people showing up for a Drupal meetup. There are lots of people using Drupal in our area. We just have to reach out to them.
Do you have a thread in one of the commerce issue queues about your issue? It would be best to have it there so others will benefit from it.
That being said...In general I try to keep commerce products simple:
Display Product - sencha tea
Product - 001 - sencha tea 5oz - shipping weight 7oz
Product - 002 - sencha tea 7oz - shipping weight 10oz
...
or change the default views product views to show the display name and the parent name. This way
Product - 001 - 5oz - shipping weight 7oz
Product - 002 - 7oz - shipping weight 10oz
....
Thanks!
I do have the issues open, just not getting huge response from anyone.
Could you explain the second part to me?
"change the default views product views to show the display name and the parent name. "
Does this change the "Add to cart" form? Thanks.
