xdebug
I finally got xdebug working in Quanta. I have been messing with this off and on since the last meeting. There is very little documentation for xdebug in quanta so I wasn't really even sure it would work. After much struggle it turns out that it does. For kubuntu the installation is really quite simple. If anyone else is using Quanta and would like more information let me know. Thanks kanani for the demonstration xdebug is very helpful.
Read moreCCK_Create_Install module
I am looking for some feedback on a module I created recently.
http://drupal.org/project/cck_create_install
On several sites lately I have used cck and views, and usually end up using the cck node types as special node types with supporting modules. The problem is that the cck export module doesn't seem to work very well so it is difficult moving the created cck / taxonomy stuff from the production site to the live site.
CCK_Create_Install solves the problem by generating install code for the cck content type and all of the referenced taxonomy.

Pleasant Greetings
Pleasant greetings fellow Taco-mans ...
I just discovered this group this morning from the post on the Seattle group. Like the intro says ... I hate "battling the I-5 herds" , so haven't made it to any Drupal meetings since DrupalCon in Portland in 2005 (or was it 2004).

LinuxFest Northwest is happening on the weekend of April 26-27, 2008, 10 AM to 5 PM both days, in Bellingham. In spite of its name, it's intended to be an open-source festival, not just Linux.
At the March SeaDUG meeting, we discussed how to get a Drupal presence going at LinuxFest Northwest. This Wiki page (feel free to edit) is for planning how to do that.

Read moreDownload, extracting, installing modules through the drupal front end
Seemed to recall a conversation about three months back about using the front end in drupal to download/install modules
I did some searches and can't find anything relevant. I'm putting the workflow below, if someone knows of a module, let me know, otherwise I'll write one
these steps are all done through the front end in drupal
1. enter url of module.tar.gz file(or other compressed file type) you want to install
2. select installation directory (i.e. in the sites/all/themes, sites/default/themes, sites/all/modules, sites/mycoolsite/modules)
3. click submit

I might be coming to Tacoma sometime in February, and was wondering if anyone would be interested in trying to throw together a Drupal meetup of some sort while I'm in town. The dates aren't fixed yet, but I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if there's any interest.
Also, anyone have any leads on a place to crash while I'm in town?
