DrupalCamp Ohio Rideshare

Posted by marktfrey on October 4, 2011 at 1:27pm

Let's see what we can do to get some 'Burghers out to OSU for DrupalCamp Ohio. I have confirmed use of our car, which can comfortably seat 4 including myself. I could squeeze 5 if backseaters are very friendly. I've already committed one seat to Fen, and Phil was interested as well, but I believe tentative.

Let's get some threads going! Maybe if there's a shortage of viable rides we could chip in and rent a van or something.

In need of someone who can do Drupal module Insert/Updates

Posted by visuaLatte on October 1, 2011 at 5:35pm

Hi all,
I'm in need of someone who can spend a few hours fixing some custom Drupal modules for one of my clients. The client has a custom profile system (I know, they should have used Content Profile!) that makes use of a custom-programmed module, a custom database table, etc.

We need to add some profile fields and fix a problem in which some fields don't insert properly when first creating a profile. (They update properly when editing a profile, but don't work when first creating it.)

Question for the sysadmins in the house: Server, Hosting, and CDN advice and experiences

Posted by RobW on September 30, 2011 at 5:42am

Although this isn't strictly a Drupal question, the Drupal Pgh meetings seem to have a sysadmin contingent so I hope this falls on knowledgeable ears. With more clients asking me to host and maintain the sites I build for them I think it's time to move on from cheap shared hosting options to something more robust. I don't have very much experience with servers aside from the standard interactions front and rear end devs normally have, so I'm looking for some advice/experiences.

Themeing Node Reference Fields

Posted by akanik on September 21, 2011 at 2:18pm

Is there a way to format a node reference field in d6 so that every time it appears it displays not only the title, but a collection of fields from the referenced node? I have a node reference field called field_investigations_reference that is used to reference articles (investigations) so that they can be place on a homepage in a curated way.

Forming a Drupal in Higher Edu Consortium

Posted by btopro on July 29, 2011 at 2:57pm

I've been having a conversation via email with a bunch of higher EDU drupal developers which I'm sick of just talking about so let's make it happen: A Drupal in Higher Education Consortium. The goal of this isn't some kind of bloated, formal relationship but instead a series of lightweight tools across different websites (this one included) in order to help each other through problems we face.

Instructional Content Management System Alpha 4 Distribution Released!

Posted by btopro on July 19, 2011 at 8:36pm

Today we released a new version of ELMS which starts to branch it out into our vision of 3 separate distributions for education. https://elms.psu.edu/ Has all the details and has been completely redone around our new UI for the system. Many of the issues from Alpha 3 have been resolved but this is a fundamentally different system in just about every way. The focus is still on course content but the instructional designer administrative layer helps set the stage that other educational distributions can be built off of.

DrupalPGH.org Website project team

Posted by marktfrey on July 12, 2011 at 7:05pm

We're putting together an external (to G.D.O.) site for DrupalPGH to house our media and serve as a place for local Drupal service providers to connect with each other and with clients. It'll be a pretty simple site and serve as a complement to our presence here on G.D.O..

We've already done some work on the concept and IA. Moving forward, we'll need to tackle design, content / writing, and development/site building. If you'd like to get involved with this, comment here and let us know how you'd like to be involved.

Using template to configure link from a field

Posted by akanik on June 27, 2011 at 6:14pm

So this may be a silly, simple question... but it has me. I am trying to modify a field to be output as a link. Scenario: the user adds his/her personal website address (akanik.com) in to the "Website" field. The template takes that field, enters the value of it into the a href and therefore makes the original field data (akanik.com) clickable.

<?php
 print render($content['field_email']); 
?>

    <a href="http://<?php
 print ($content[&#039;field_website&#039;]); 
?>
"><?php
 print render($content[&#039;field_website&#039;]); 
?></a>

Providing users with source code

Posted by akanik on June 19, 2011 at 7:27pm

Hello all,

I have a question about providing source code to users. I'm developing a news site that will make it's articles available to whoever wants to republish them, provided that appropriate credit and article formatting guidelines are adhered to. For a more clear idea of what I am talking about, you can visit http://www.propublica.org/blog/item/what-exactly-is-the-war-powers-act-a... and click "Republish" by the byline.

A window come up that stipulates republishing guidelines and then a field where the source code is available for copying.

Jquery tabs integrated into Views

Posted by akanik on May 18, 2011 at 12:21am

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with using a combination of jquery tabs and the views module. I have created a content type called "Movie Listings" and a custom template that puts all the fields from Movie Listings into a tabs table:

div class="movie_listing">

div id="tabs">

DETAILS
SHOWTIMES
TRAILER
PRESS

            <div id="tabs-1">
                <div class="left forty">
