This month's Portland Drupal User Group will be hosted by ThinkShout (433 NW 4th Ave. Ste 100).

Join us at 6pm on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 for pizza and beverages and get to know folks in Portland's thriving Drupal community. All Drupal experience levels are welcome, including newcomers to Drupal.

This month's topic: Getting Started with Drupal 8 and Theming

Joe Komenda will present on Composer-based Drupal 8 installation and theme setup.

Lightning Talks

Bring your 5-minute-or-less Drupal 8 tips related to Installation, Composer, or Theming and we'll have a round of "D8 Lightning Tips" after Joe's presentation. Sign-up sheet will be available at the meetup.

See you all tonight for the Drupal User Group at ThinkShout. Pizza will arrive at 6, so join us for some social time before Drupal 8 presentations start at 6:30.

Don't forget to sign up for a quick round of lightning talks after Joe's presentation if you have a D8 tip to share (5 min or less).

I didn't show a lot tonight, but if you're interested in File Browser you can nab it here: https://www.drupal.org/project/file_browser

Make sure to read the install guide for the related modules, there are a few libraries you'll need to get up and running.

D7 Image Search

Along the same lines, for those still using D7 (which I suspect is many people), I blogged about a custom module I wrote that is an image search using Ctools, FileField Sources, and Apache Solr.

It's not quite as pretty as Sam's D8 module, but it does the job.
