- The name of a reliable, affordable, responsive Drupal programmer that could customize Drupal to meet our needs.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Read moreWrapping text using <div>
Howdy all,
I've been working on the kboo.fm site for a while now but am still encountering trouble with wrapping text around pictures.
My HTML is a bit dated - I'm used to wrapping text around pictures using the align attribute. This doesn't seem to work within our site, and I need to start using div tags more anyway.
Is it possible to have text wrap around pictures using divs? Thanks,
Marc

Email sign-up function
I want to drop a paid service I have on my website and implement a sign-up function so that visitors, who generally will not be registered users, can sign up for an email list so that we can send them occasional news updates. It needs to have proper double opt-in capability. I looked on drupal.org and found mailman manager, notify, and simple news. The last seemed to be closest to what I'm looking for. Does anybody have experience with these? Thanks ahead.

Portland Feburary Meeting
At this point the topic is still up for grabs. If you or your company would like to show off a module or website you developed please post a comment.
We'll be at the Bus Project for the meeting and then if there's demand, we can step across the street to Produce Row. See the Google Map for directions to both locations.
Read moreQuestions regarding best practices
I'm just wondering how some of you guys handle extremely difficult clients, especially those who are so bad that you have to let the project go and you know they're going to head back to the Drupal community to find someone new.
Do you warn fellow developers about the client? Let them know that any project they bring forward is going to be at least 4 times as large as they say it's going to be? That it's best for all dealings to be via email so you have proof of what's said?
And do you wait to give them the files and such that you've worked on until they pay for the work?

The tentative plan for the meeting is to have a recap of DrupalCon Boston, a demo of all the new features in Drupal 6, and a theming section that Matt Westgate is calling "Drupal: bringing sexy back".
We'll be at the Bus Project for the meeting and then if there's demand, we can step across the street to Produce Row. See the Google Map for directions to both locations.

Portland Event Idea: Drupal Mini-Camp
Consider this the kick off for discussion of the following. Everything written below is open for conversation/discussion.

A one-day, multi-session, free to everyone drupal-camp. Hosted and 'taught' by members of the portland drupal group.

Two groups to focus on:
1) Introduce more of the general pdx dev community to drupal - particularly the what makes it good and examples of successful implementation.
2) Current drupal users/developers who want more training/education.
When
Read moreDrupal and security
I have been trying to convince a friend who runs a small business with a very static website to switch to Drupal. His impression - and he got the same thing when he asked a friend about it - is that anything which is open source can't be all that secure, because people have access to the source code. I told hime that access to the code isn't so important as encryption, but had to admit it isn't my area of expertise.
Read moreHooking CCK Nodes needs documentation
I'm getting ramped up with Drupal and finding it tricky fitting the 'key in the lock' for hooks. One area we're running into trouble is CCK. It's a really useful module for creating custom node types but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to hook node actions.
We need to be able to send email or populate tables, etcetera if a nodes are hit or forms are submitted. Using mytheme_myformid_submit() on a CCK node kept the CCK handler from picking up the form. Assigning a function with hook_form_alter also failed.
