TVDUG Tri-Valley Drupal Users Group Monthly Meeting - Monday Oct. 17th, 2011 6:30pm
At the last TVDUG meeting, it was suggested to do a sort of walkthrough of creating a Drupal site to learn site building best practices in place of a presentation. Our next TVDUG meeting will therefore be structured differently. I'll be in the drivers seat this time conducting an open-ended, DIY session based on member feedback and some ideas that have been swirling around in my head.
- Setting up a wysiwyg interface and other useful contrib modules
- A few dos and don'ts
- An administrator's tour of Drupal
- Troubleshooting

Need some help with Drupal 7/Google Maps
I'm trying to create an interactive search application for Drupal 7, using the Location and GMAP modules to create a view. I'm getting close to what I want, but need answers to a few things I can't find in the documentation or with a search.
I am using a custom content type with a location field. What I'd like to do is have a view that will allow a user to create a search based on a distance from their zip code. I also have another field that's a taxonomy field, that could be used to optionally narrow down the search further.

Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal
The Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal meetups are on the 4th Tuesday and are usually in Culver City, CA. They focus on design, theming, usability, typography and other frontend-related topics.
With enough notice, Downtown Los Angeles Drupal organizers can produce special events at Droplabs on the 4th Wednesday in Downtown Los Angeles.
Droplabs already hosts several Drupal meetups each month, including the High Performance Drupal and general Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetups. These meetups have had attendance of between 20-65 attendees.
The San Gabriel Valley Drupal meetups are on the 4th Thursday in San Gabriel Valley (usually Pasadena, CA). They have a general focus and have an attendance of between 15-30 attendees.
The San Diego Drupal Users Group meetups are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. We have a mixed structure with some planned content and some ad-hoc content, and we usually have a small social meetup at the Prado down the street afterwards.
The San Diego North County DUG meetups are on the 4th Thursday of every month in Carlsbad, CA at the NAMM headquarters in the Museum Of Making Music. This meetup averages about 10-15 users, most of which are seasoned Drupalers. Content is purely ad-hoc, and you may be asked to talk about what you've been doing recently.
