How/When We Started: The Indy Drupal Users Group started meeting in January of 2008. Since that time we've ranged from meeting once a month, to twice a month, to infrequently. We've had instructional meetups, guest speakers, some hack-a-thons, and even pulled off 2 DrupalCamps.
We haven't had a meetup since Feb 2016.
OLD NEWS: The IndyDrupal Meetup.com Page has been closed. We will be using this forum from now on.
In April 2018 I asked our 251 MeetUp.com members if they wanted to do a meetup and got little response.
Refresh Indy 1 Year Party
I would recommend that you all check out the Refresh Indy group. It's a great group of web designers, developers, and graphic designers. I this group can compliment a lot of Drupal work. There's a big event coming up which would be PERFECT for some socializing and networking with these guys. Check it out! I'll be there.
I'll also be posting this (and other local groups of interest) in our Facebook group.

Read moreMeetup Reminder
There seems to be some issues with the broadcast function, or maybe I've lost permission to do so. I've tried 5x to broadcast everyone to remind them of the meetup, as well as contact individuals through the site, but the broadcast doesn't seem to be working, and I get an access denied on other users' contact forms. If you can make contact, please remind a friend!
Hey Drupalers!

CINDUG: Using the menu tree in the theme
I have a site I am working on where I need to change the page banner based on which part of the primary menu tree the page is located in. The company has two divisions, and if the current page is anywhere in the 'division A' menus, I want to use one set of code, and if it's in 'division B' menus, I want to use another set.
I started looking into menu_get_active_trail(), but that doesnt appear to be returning useable data. Maybe I am trying to use it in the wrong context, as part of the page.tpl.php?
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

External Database Query
Wondering if anyone has any experience querying an external database and displaying the results in a node.
Actually both querying and inserting into a database....
I know I could build pages with php code, but I would rather use a module (if its available) or a drupal standard way....
Thanks!!

What to do with the Indiana Drupal Users Group
There will be no meeting this month. I've been too busy to set one up and my schedule had limited availability to attend even if one was scheduled.
Our last meeting had more pizzas than people. [My family really enjoyed the left overs!]
Anyone can schedule a meetup via the "Create Event" option on this site.
Tony at Promethius is available for contact if some one wishes to contact him to schedule a meetup
Kevin Finney is available to schedule the Mid West Internet building in broadripple where we have our hackfests.
SEO, Multisite, Robots - Help Needed
I am working on a site (http://www.car-rental-salt-lake-city.com/) and am having issues with getting the Google robots to search and index it. This is a multisite installation on Drupal 6 with the RobotsTxt module (http://drupal.org/project/robotstxt) installed. The robots text file is located here: http://www.car-rental-salt-lake-city.com/robots.txt. It has been submitted using the Google Webmaster Tools, but still has not been indexed after 4 weeks.
Anyone with experience have any ideas as to what may be going on?
Thanks!

Looking for ideas: member-specific content
We built a pretty simple Drupal site for a client and we're going back to add in some additional features. Something they'd like to do is have member-specific content upon login. (Example: John Smith logs in and sees text directed only to him or his company). The content will probably just be a page.
We can do this with content types/roles/permissions but our client wants to be able to manage this themselves. I'm afraid that's going to be too advanced/confusing for them.

Redhat Summit, Sept 1-4th
Drupal has been invited to participate in the RedHat Summit Expo in Chicago. The Drupal booth will be available for two days and will give us an opportunity to promote Drupal to a large audience of professional open source users. The costs for the booth are $1500 and if we can find some booth organizers we can find funding for the booth.
Please sign-up if you are interested.

August 13 @ 5pm - HowTo: Theming Tips & Tricks - Purdue University - West Lafayette Campus
Finally we are off to another meetup!
Last meetup we learned how to create a basic theme in Drupal 6. This meetup we will focus on the theme layer again and learn how to customize data output to your liking.
If you want to follow along on your own machine/laptop/pc (in the lab) then be sure have access to a server (DaveB might have this setup?) where you can ftp/ssh to make changes to your theme files. If you don't have a Drupal theme you can download one from: http://drupal.org/project/Themes

Alrighty folks...
It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with Doug Vann. Your best efforts are inadequate for the task. I blog. I tweet. I share at our local events as well as abroad.... But you still never know exactly what ol' Doug is up to, for the most part...

For once I will post the details of our next meeting a bit earlier, in particular because we neglected to come up with a topic or presentation for August at our July meeting. So, any suggestions? Perhaps 3 or 4 short, 15 - 30 minute presentations by different people that want to show off a site they've built, or a cool module they started using?
Some potential topics people are interested in are listed on the Possible Agenda Topics - CINDUG wiki page - you see something you'd like to demonstrate or present on? Or a new topic entirely?
