User group meeting
We hope you can join us for the next daytime meeting of the Spokane Drupal User Group! We are currently meeting every two weeks online.
- When
- Thursday, May 28, 2020, 10 AM to noon
- Where
- Due to the libraries being closed, this meeting will be held online in a Google Hangout (link will be posted 10-15 minutes before the meeting -- check back).
- 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 up to two hours in a question and answer format, with the participants in Google Hangouts, where they can share their screens, talk, etc. 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!

(NYC will be sometime in October.)
We also discussed co-maintaining modules. See
https://www.drupal.org/node/23789
https://www.drupal.org/project/toggle_editable_fields
that can be used to make nice on/off toggles for field editing. Then he can use those fields in Views as filters to display/not display views panes for certain projects based on whether those fields are on/off on that project.
https://www.drupal.org/project/views_entity_form_field
which allows you to edit multiple entity fields on one form in a view.

https://www.drupal.org/project/prepopulate
Matt wants to prepopulate fields and them make them uneditable. Entity Reference Prepopulate does this (but is Drupal 7 only). Could be a good feature for Prepopulate. There's an old issue for this:
