The Santa Cruz Drupal User's Group is looking to connect Drupal users in and around Santa Cruz, California.
We have a budding tech community in Santa Cruz. One factor in our tech growth is the use of Drupal at several local web shops, start-ups, and organizations. Drupal use at UC Santa Cruz is also growing and it's time we all got together to share knowledge and learn from each other.
We (almost always) meet on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7pm. Meetings are free and held at NextSpace at 101 Cooper Street in downtown Santa Cruz. All are welcome. Ring the buzzer to get let into the building.
Note - If the meeting day falls on a holiday or during the winter holidays (e.g. January), then we might reschedule or cancel the meeting but there will be a discussion or event here for it.

Propose some topics below! If you'd like to present something, leave a comment!

Everyone,
There are 144 days left until the social event of the season called BADCamp. We have 0 people signed up for the event and $12,000 in sponsorship money raised. It will be all happening, of course, but plenty of work to do. The high level goals are to chat website things and help build the larger team of volunteers.
NOTE - This meeting is before the SFDUG social event at the C3 office. We will only be meeting for one hour, so come prepared to BADCamp.
Logistics:
* Schedule - Monday at 5pm
* In person - 300 Beale Street, Suite 101 (Chapter Three Office)
Views slideshow centering
I've been struggling on getting a views slideshow to output it's content in the center of a content area with little success. I'm running into some CSS that I can't figure out where to override.
When inspecting element, it is apart of the row class and is coming from "element.style" and setting a position of absolute. I've done a search for this setting in all views, views slideshow, and pix reloaded theme (using) CSS and tpl files but with no luck on track it down.
Anybody have an idea what I'm missing or where else to look on how to override?
Thanks! :)

Start thinking about the June Santa Cruz Drupal user group meeting on Tuesday June 5th, 7pm to 9pm...
Open to ideas as to what to talk about!
Kristen has been creating a Drupal 7 site with some fun modules including:
- Media
- Field Collection
- Field Group
- Bean
and could demo these and explain how they can make things better for your content editors.
(She had previously said she'd talk about Installation Profiles but they are such a pain that maybe another time... ;)
Other ideas? Anyone going to SVDUG tomorrow? Anyone going to Sac Camp?

Read moreD7 Lock out error
I was recently working in a D7 install trying to get some slideshow views to work when I got this error:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /usr/home/dskaggs/www/7_eleven/drupal/includes/lock.inc).
Now I've looked up other info on it within drupal.org its self and what it says is kinda disturbing as far as fixes go.

Hey Santa Cruz Drupalers,
Here I am with another last minute announcement for a local event for startup-minded folks :)
There's an event called TechRaising (http://TechRaising.com) happening this weekend downtown at Cruzio. It's a weekend long event where folks pitch ideas, build developer/designer/biz teams and demo a prototype -- all in 48 hours. Last year was super fun and it's a great way to connect with other folks in the tech community.
Read moremeetup($sc->phpUser, 'NextSpace');
The Santa Cruz PHP Users Group will be having their next Meetup the Wednesday night after Tech Raising. In this months meetup, we will be covering OOP [object oriented programming]. It is a bit of an intro topic, but this Meetup will lay the ground work for some of the Meetups to come. As Drupal is built upon PHP, I wanted to let the group know about the Meetup happening that night
As always additional topics can be brought up and discussed or scheduled for a later time.
