Santa Cruz

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

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.

X2CRM Meetup

Start: 
2014-01-14 18:30 - 20:00 America/Los_Angeles
Event type: 
User group meeting

I normally don't post promotional crap that people tell me to, but given we talked about a) civiCRM and b) how wordpress is benefitted by having a paid ecosystem, I figured there might be some interest in this meetup. It's at cruzio this Tuesday (the 14th).

http://www.meetup.com/X2CRM-User-Group/

It's an open source CRM project, based out of SC. The guy in charge wants to have an ecosystem of local developers creating distributions to sell iirc. Snacks and booze!

Creating a dev site from a live site

Hi All,
I hope Paul's patches workshop was good.....sorry I missed I was attempting to get a dev site running from a copy of my live site.

Everything in the settings.php file looks right. Copied code from live, stable site, and imported db from that stable version (albiet pre 7.24). However, when visiting dev.bodyblueprinter.com the them is not correct. Initially I had

Vagrant and Drupal

My fancy homebrew + dnsmasq & virtual host custom mamp localdev didn't make it past my upgrade to Mavericks... not wanting to go back to MAMP I decided it was time to learn how to use Vagrant. I'm liking it! It's basically a wrapper for vmware or virtual box that makes it handy to spin up isolated local test environments that you can create and destroy at will.

Two useful Drupal related projects:

https://drupal.org/project/drush-vagrant
https://drupal.org/project/drush-hosts

https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest is handy if you're using virtualbox

December Santa Cruz Drupal User Group Meeting - Nextspace 7pm to 9pm (Tuesday December 3, 2013)

Start: 
2013-12-03 19:00 - 21:00 America/Los_Angeles
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

Hi folks, the December Santa Cruz DUG meeting will be all about patches! Did you know it is not a module maintainer's job to review patches? Neither did I until I found it buried on this page. It is in fact the community's responsibility's to review patches. According to the doc, "Patches need a positive review by at least two people other than the original author before being declared Reviewed and tested by the community" Trouble is, nobody reviews contrib patches, and it's a big problem.

Sub theme question* Update

Hi All
So I am trying to use Adaptivetheme as a sub theme. It is installed, but the block regions are not laying out as they should. Attached is a screenshot....everything is in one single column. I have followed the sub theme instructions per www.http://adaptivethemes.com/documentation/sub-theming

and I have dug around for issues like this, but no avail. I am SURE this is an operator error issue, I just am not sure what I missed. Any help is appreciated! Thanks :)

Hope to see you there!

Trends

What do people make of these two dats points:
Drupal market share: http://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_management
Drupal mindshare: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Drupal&cmpt=q
Is this how we're going to address the shortage of Drupal talent?

Site Warnings

Hi Everyone how have you been?

I was working on my site and trying to get content viewing permissions straightened out for my needs when I noticed this warning when trying to look at specific pieces of content:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in node_node_access()

The content is displayed as it should be, but the problem is that the warning is distracting and it displays file path....not wanting that

The code on that line is:

line 3083: function node_node_access($node, $op, $account) {

line 3084: $type = is_string($node) ? $node : $node->type;

When it's really ready™

There's an interesting post by XJM that came up on Drupal Planet this morning. In it, she discusses the state of critical bug levels in D8. The good news is that the core devs are holding their ground now and hopefully, the count will start to gradually reduce.

But what I found interesting was a remark she made in passing:

October Santa Cruz Drupal User Group Meeting - Nextspace 6pm to 9pm (Tuesday October 1, 2013)

Start: 
2013-10-01 19:00 - 21:00 America/Los_Angeles
Event type: 
User group meeting

The October SCDUG will be Tuesday October 1st from 6pm to 9pm at Nextspace. Note the earlier time for those who can come early. If you can't come early, come whenever you can.

We will do a D8 (core and/or contrib) sprint this time. You do not need to know how to code to sprint. You can test patches and try out D8 and find/report bugs :)

Paul suggested that some of us could port small contrib modules from D7 to D8. We could work on some of the Examples modules for this or whatever your favorite small D7 module is that you want to port.

September Meeting - more Drupal 8?

I'd like to direct everyone's attention to Cameron Eagan's post today. Cameron was one of our speakers last month on Drupal 8. This is an important and brave piece of writing that echoes the concerns that some of us have expressed (privately) about Drupal 8.

BADCamp Signups?

Hmm, maybe it's just me and I missed the notification, but you can already register and sign up now for the Parties, Summits and Trainings at BADCamp. Some of the Trainings are already filled. I noticed that several of our regulars are not yet registered, so though that maybe I wasn't the only one that missed the starting gun.

Go to http://2013.badcamp.net and get signed up!

Darren Odden

Wanted to let all of you here know that Darren (our current sponsor to NextSpace), yesterday underwent a triple bypass surgery. Currently he is recovering over the next couple of days in ICU. He might be sent home in a week or so.

He and his wife are reading the emails of support. Feel free to send loves and hugs his way.

Since he is our sponsor for our meetings at NS, I am not sure what this might mean for our meeting next week. I know he also sponsored a few other local meetup groups.
