User group meeting

We hope you can join us for the next meeting of the Spokane Drupal User Group!

When
Thursday, March 8, 2018, 10 AM to noon
We meet on the 2nd or 3rd Thursday of most months at this time/location. Log in and join the Spokane Drupal User Group (see sidebar on https://groups.drupal.org/spokane-wa ) to be notified of future meetings, events, and discussions (typically just a few email messages per month).
Where
Spokane County Library - Argonne branch, 4322 N. Argonne Road, Millwood. We are currently meeting in the small conference room at the library. From the hallway, go into the library proper, past the checkout/information desk, take a right and you'll see the room on the right.
To be reminded, sign up!
To receive an email reminder closer to the date of the meeting, log in and click the "Sign up" button; log in and click "Cancel signup" at a later time if your schedule changes and you can no longer come. There's no obligation to come if you sign up (but we hope you will!). There's also no obligation to sign up in order to come (it's up to you if you want a reminder or not). However, the meeting could be canceled if the organizer isn't sure anyone is coming.
What
We spend two hours in a question and answer format, with the participants around a table and a laptop on a projector. Come with questions about a project you're working on, something you've learned that you'd like to share with others, a desire to improve Drupal in some way (documentation, programming, design, marketing etc.), or a desire to help others with their projects and questions. Or just come and listen and observe.
Who
Everyone is welcome -- the only prerequisite is having some interest in Drupal. This group is usually 5-10 friendly people, with experience levels ranging from novice to expert, so you'll fit right in. Because of the size of the group, you will have time to share something you've learned, or get your questions answered, or both!

Not feeling well...

Hi folks!

I just tried to post this so we may get two comments...

Anyway, I'm not feeling well this morning, and besides not feeling like I want to go anywhere, I also don't want you to get whatever I have.

I've emailed several people in the group whose email addresses I had handy, so hopefully there will still be a meeting today, complete with a projector and people with both questions and answers.

Stay well!

March 8 Drupal Group Meeting Notes

  • Diane had been working with the Calendar module https://www.drupal.org/project/calendar for the library test site over the course of several months a little at a time. She had trouble getting the colored stripes (representing different age groups) to show up with the calendar events but had found a solution back in November. Enough time had passed between working with the solution and finally moving those changes from the test site to the live site, she had forgotten exactly how it had been solved and couldn't find her notes from when she found the solution. Since the test site had a newer version of the Calendar module than the live site, she hoped that updating the Calendar module on the live site would resolve the problem but it did not. At Drupal Group, she asked for help to re-solve this issue.
  • Steps to troubleshoot the issue included verifying that the test site and the live site had the same version Calendar and Views modules. Shawn suggested exporting the calendar view that worked on the test site and then importing it on the live site to see what would happen. Once on the live site, the calendar view's color stripes stopped working. As a further step, the view on the live site that hadn't been working was exported and imported to the test site where it did work. Diane attempted to create a full site backup (using the Backup and Migrate module) of the test site and then the live site. The live site backup failed as she didn't have the permissions required to make that one. The plan was to have Diane email Shawn the backups as soon as she had them so he could compare the test and live sites to see what was different.
  • The next day at the library, before asking the IT guy to help with the backup, Diane started to search again for her notes and finally found them and the trail to the solution applied in November. At https://www.drupal.org/node/1556676 it mentions the issue and how to solve it. It requires adding a patch to the file called calendar_plugin_row.inc located inside sites/all/modules/calendar/includes. The patch can be found at https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/calendar-taxonomy_stripes_via_relati...
