Question

Hi, folks,

I know that tizzo and others use vagrant, and I'm starting to drink the kool-aid. Anyone have a tutorial about how to manage multiple tiers? For example, when I work on a project locally, I want to point at my local database, but if I'm doing an update to an existing production site, I want to push out a new AWS EC2 (or whatever) that points to the production database. I presume I do this with puppet somehow, but if anyone has some best practices or tutorials, I'd be very grateful. Cheers,

-Larry

We need help with our website..yellowspringsfarm.com. The site was built in Drupal, but we currently have no help to support or update it.

I hope this is appropriate for this group - I know a bunch of you do Drupal development for non-profits. NTEN, the Nonprofit Technology Network, has fielded an RFP for an online benchmarking tool to help nonprofits more easily find and compare their organizations to data about nonprofit technology staffing and investments from our annual research.

Fellow Drupaldelphians I am in desperate need of someone that is Aegir fluent. I am working on a personal project and I think Aegir is the solution. If you have about 30 minutes for some question and answering I would greatly appreciate it.

My main question is do i need to be fluent in Apache to manage this system?

Shoot me a message if you have some time.

Thanks,

Will

As you may know, Drupaldelphia 2011 is being held at Temple University on July 29th. At the last meetup we discussed having a "Drupal in Higher Ed track" (possibly with more than 1 presentation per time slot), and I'm wondering if there's interest in making it happen, and whether it would be useful to the edu folks at the camp.

I'm trying to find a product that was mentioned back when we were planning Drupaldelphia 2010 (in February?) Someone showed us a web-based application that allowed two or more people to type on a page simultaneously and each saw the other's inputs in real time.

If I recall correctly, Google bought the company and then just let the product languish. I have a real good use for something like it - but can't remember the name! I've looked at Google's list of things: http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ but I don't see it here.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello fine Drupal folks,

I am in the process of developing a scope of work estimation for a potential Drupal client. I am relatively new to this, and would appreciate someone looking over my work. Is there anyone in the Old City, Center City, or University City area with a good amount of experience scoping and pricing Drupal projects that would be willing to meet with me for around 30 minutes this Tuesday or Wednesday (July 12/13)?

On Tuesday I am free before 12:30 and after 2:30. On Wednesday I'm flexible. More than willing to compensate with money, food, or beer.

This one has me itching my head.
I'm working on a project for a client that has events.

These events are sponsored.

There are 3 tiers of sponsors.
Gold, Silver, Bronze.

I have a content type for sponsors.
That content type has .. title, logo, body... (I really only need it for the LOGO)

When making a new Event node, the author needs to be able to select sponsors that are in one of the ranks (gold, silver, bronze...)
"So, that's easy!" everyone says at the same time, "just use node_reference..."

Ah ha! not so fast.

I'm trying to finalize a LAMP build on RHEL 5, PHP 5.2.11. What modules are absolutely necessary for future growth?

Currently I'm running:
core prefork
http_core
mod_so
mod_auth_basic
mod_auth_digest
mod_authn_file
mod_authn_alias
mod_authn_anon
mod_authn_dbm
mod_authn_default
mod_authz_host
mod_authz_user
mod_authz_owner
mod_authz_groupfile
mod_authz_dbm
mod_authz_default
util_ldap
mod_authnz_ldap
mod_include
mod_log_config
mod_logio
mod_env
mod_ext_filter
mod_mime_magic
mod_expires
mod_deflate
mod_headers
mod_usertrack

I was wondering if anyone has been successful in building an organization event calendar.

I have followed several howtos, and always seem to get stuck when the events are listed in the calendar view at the time of creation of the node, instead of the date of the event.

Other issues, such as how to create multi-day events, etc are also troubling 9I have not gotten that far)

I would also love to have a "Upcoming events block" that lists the next several upcoming event nodes, and automatically selects for the next week. (I actually got this close to working, but screwed it up)
