Related content
At last night's DUG I asked the group if anyone had a good solution/module recommendation for showing related content in a block, based on taxonomy. A block like this could be used to show blog entries/forum discussions related to the blog entry in focus ("You might also be interested in"), or to show FAQs related to a piece of content, etc, etc. Solr was suggested, but while it is an excellent search option, it does not seem to be well suited to this.
There are some modules out there that can do this and if any of you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. I've tried Taxonomy Quick Find, but it's approach is not ideal for my needs.
What I really wanted was to do this through Views and get all of the fine-grained control over the way you select and display your information that only Views gives you, but also in a way that is dynamic, rather than a collection of duplicated blocks with hard-coded taxonomy codes. After digging around I found a blog post on how to use views 2 in Drupal 6 to create a related content block. The post is a bit dated, but otherwise is solid and easy to follow.

July's Challenge
We're going forward with a July challenge meeting, and either Jonathan or I will post the final challenge on Monday. A lot of incredibly fun solutions have been proposed to Michelle's suggestion, and unless something more compelling comes along:
"I like the idea of a challenge! If I can suggest one that might be fun, and that probably has many ways to accomplish it: how about a Question and Answer section? Something where a user can post a question, and either a moderator or a user can post answers - but possibly the moderator answer always shows above other user answers or is somehow distinguished."
A couple of requirements:
- Presentations must be Internet-accessible so we can use just one laptop to keep things quick.
- To be guaranteed a time to present, make your commitment on the meeting reminder by July 6th.
If anyone has other ideas, please post them in the comments here. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Admin Login issues
Hi all,
I am experiencing some issues with a website I help maintain for a local non-profit based on version 5.7. When I try to login, not only can I not edit a page but I can't access Admin pages. After entering username/pw, from I get kicked back to the whatever page I was on, but still in non-edit and non-admin view. I am getting a url parameter that I have never seen before: http://www.sitename.org/?destination=admin
Any thoughts about why I would be getting this?
Thanks!
-- Jeff
Read morePDXPHP Kickoff Meeting for Open Source Bridge featuring Rasmus Lerdorf
Rasmus Lerdorf will be in town for Open Source Bridge and has graciously offered to lead a meeting for PDXPHP. So the Tuesday before the OSBridge festivities kick off, He (and possible a few other speakers in town), will lead a discussion on various PHP and web topics.
Rasmus is of course know for creating the PHP language but is also an expert in application security, and is currently employed with Yahoo as an Infrastructure Architecture Engineer, so there will be no shortage of interesting topics for this meeting.
