Lesson #33 - How the signup.module works
This week in the dojo, Senpai will delve into the logistics of the signup module, what it's good for, how it works, and what you can do with it. This little module is a stand alone beauty that can also feature-add to other modules at the same time. If you have users who want to register for things like meetings, camps, conferences, stories, chapters of a book, and just about anything else, come to this class and ask questions.

Chx has stepped up to the plate and will do a lesson on debugging your Drupal installation. What is debugging? It is how you figure out what is wrong with your code that then allows you to actually fix the little bugger.
Chx is going to be going through and working on bugs in core. He will show you how he tracks them down and then he'll squash 'em. So bring your buggy code to class and we'll all go on a bug hunt. This is great stuff for not only getting your own code to run smoothly but it is a great way to get in an help out core Drupal. Even if you don't know how to fix a bug once you find it, being able to find them and give detailed information on where they are and what they are doing is a HUGE help in getting Drupal 6 out the door.

Drupalcon 007 Barcelona de-briefing! Ok, ok, keep your pants on, everyone. We're only debriefing the conference attendees. :=0
If you were at the Barcelona show, and you leaned something, saw a presentation that opened your eyes, or heard a talk that wowed your mind, come to the dojo and share it with the class! We'll record this audio-only dojocast for posterity, and everyone who wants to share can do so. Tell us about an experience you had, a tidbit of knowledge that you gleaned which will help you in your everyday job, and we'll be able to capture the Barcelona experience for everyone who didn't get to go, as well as increase the awareness for our next conference!

Lesson #29 - Upgrading your contrib modules to D6? Coder module can help!
Lesson request on content editor
I would like to request a lesson where someone explains how to bring the editing of the content, styling and inserting/organizing of the images all together.
It seems like drupal is an excellent platform for programmers, but less ideal for the end users.
-Is it possible to create the customized site where a user can define the look and layout of his content and insert and control image positions easily?
-How can a user take advantage of designer defined CSS to his advantage, and maybe even define new ones?
A very exciting development ...
hi ..
Well ever heard of dojo toolkit ? The toolkit with fanktacular widgets and very robust XHR system. Dojo toolkit is probably the best Dhtml toolkit today. I know that drupal officially supports and endore JQuery but this module by chris barber which enables dojo use for drupal is one step in right direction... He has released v 1.1 and I dont know if you people know about it, but I am so excited that I am gonna shit my pants ..

Dojo Lesson #8 -- db_rewrite_sql and node access
(Coming March 4th, 2007) I'm very excited to announce that this Sunday's dojo lesson on Drupal 5.0's node access system will be taught by Andy Kirkham (aka ajk^ in IRC)! Check out the notes for details on what will be covered. The time is the usual Sunday at 11am PST / 2PM PST / 8pm CET.
Join us in #drupal-dojo, on Skype and in our VNC screencast for all the fun. As usual, this will be recorded and documented for those unable to make it to the live lesson.
Andy is currently a Drupal.org CVS administrator, site document maintainer, a member of the Drupal security team and is maintainer for a clutch of Drupal modules and plays an active role in the Drupal developer community. He's also a trained electrical engineer and a busy consultant both sides of the Atlantic. Three cheers!
