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.

So, if we just rename them "No-Install Apps"...
Branding is everything, right...?
Read moreUbercart Anonymous checkout
Hi All,
Has anyone any experience with Ubercart anonymous checkout? I have it installed and it works, but the Drupal account verification email is sent along with the Ubercart one, so people get two emails regarding what to do next for login on your account. Of course he onetime link used in the Ddrupal email is invalid, because Ubercart logs the user straight in after checkout.
Any way just wondering how to shut off the Drupal email without affecting the normal create account workflow that I have set up (requiring administrator approval).
Thanks for any help
Read moreSFDUG - Don't Let Crappy Content Ruin Your New Site
Come to New Relic to hear Nica Lorber Chapter Three's creative director share her tips for maintaining the quality of your new site after launch.
Nothing is worse than delivering a sparkling new site full of promise and seeing it ruined with crappy content. The best designed sites can be wrecked with blurry imagery, TLDR* copy, and incorrect use of styles.
In this session, I’ll cover factors that contribute to crappy content implementation and the steps we can take to avoid them. I will share deliverables that close the gap between site launch and maintenance.
I will cover:

Read moreCalendar Repeat dates question
HI Everyone,
I am trying to find a way to simply and cleanly add a (completed) flag to individual repeating date. I have a calendar that sets tasks for repeated schedule and want a way to flag each date as complete. I am finding very little in my searches and wonder if anyone else has run across this functionality? Any leads will help. Date instance may be the solution, but I am not sure how I feel about breaking each date off into a separate node.
Thanks!

Read moreForum and Mailing List integration on D7?
Does anyone have any experience with trying to integrate a Forum with a mailing list on Drupal? I have a possible project for a group that has a relatively unused 3rd party forum product on their website but generally talks over a private Yahoo Groups mailing list. Can these be integrated so that emails to the list end up on the forum (and are owned by the correct account, not glommed into a single account like anonymous), and forum postings go out to the email list?
Read moreKirby CMS
There's always some interest in people getting outside the Drupal box and seeing what is out there... Kirby CMS might have some appeal for folks. http://getkirby.com
It looks like it should have some of the appeal of the simplicity of Jekyll (all flat files), while having a UI for non-technical folks. I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to play around with it (it might have been a good solution for a small gig I was intending to use as an excuse to play around in Ghost with, though I ended up just going back to a familiar CMS).
And it's in PHP. :p
Read moreHelp needed
I've just joined this group.
My company has 5 or so Drupal sites for different purposes, such as our website (www.extraview.com) and for our end-user documentation (docs.extraview.com).
We have an occasional need for some custom PHP work to be done with modules and I'm looking for a local resource to help with this - our engineers are too busy with our core product. There's an immediate need to move some modules from version 6 to 7, and to help with the theme upgrade.
If you're interested, please contact me.
Thanks,

Hi Gang!
So I am trying to figure something out....I am using MyTinyTodo to create user to do lists. I have created a view so that I could use a block for display in certain contexts (using Omega+Context+Delta). The content type that utilizes the TinyTodo field also has a User Reference field that makes it so I can show view blocks based on UID contextual filter. I then created a rule that creates the node upon saving new user account and assigns the UID. When I run the test, the list does not show up. I check the view and enter the UID as a contextual filter and the list displays.
March Santa Cruz Drupal User Group Meeting - Nextspace 7pm to 9pm (Tuesday March 4, 2014)
Our March SCDUG will be on Tuesday March 4th at 7pm.
What should we talk about?
We were thinking maybe learning about the various frontend technologies from a big picture perspective and how they all fit in with each other... types of grid systems, front-end preprocessors, responsive frameworks, etc. Not much detail on each of these, but just a laundry list of what is out there and how they fit into the bigger picture. This would need to be lead by Kristin (K2) and/or Julia and/or Carl and/or Darren :)
Thoughts? Other topics?
