Video Solution for Drupal 6

I'm looking for a Drupal 6 video Solution. I am wondering if any of you folks have successfully implemented one. Here are some of the needs:

Uploading:
Uploading of multiple types of video.
Files of any (reasonable) length and time (can't use youtube)

Encoding and storage:
Re-encoding on the server
Can store on our own server or an external one but data costs must be reasonable.

Display:
Needs to display on MOST devices, lots of our users have ipads or iphones as a secondary device so a 'flash only' output solution will not work well.

Help! Need immediate help with fillPDF module

I'm a newbie at Drupal and have been working on a client site (I'm a WordPress specialist, but it doesn't have the ability to do what I need).

I'm using the FillPDF module (with the paid FillPDF service) to populate PDF marketing flyers with employee data (using a custom content type). I thought I'd figured out how to set the module up correctly, I realized belated that I did not.. Rather than filling the PDF with the logged-in user's profile fields, it's using the profile fields from the admin (me) who created the CCK document.

Capital Camp in DC

Hi everyone,

I'm at Capital Camp this week and learning a lot of things that I'd love to share with you guys and generate some conversations. Curious if there is interest in having another Tuesday night meeting in August. If so, perhaps I could basically create a bullet list of things to share.

The main topics that I'm finding so interesting are around Features, Progression in Distributions using Apps, Ecommerce in D6 and D7. Not sure if I'll be telling you guys a bunch of stuff you don't already know, but it could be a great basis for conversation.

HELP!!! Site not viewable in certain countries

Hello folks, I have run into a wall with finding a solution to a site problem. It's come to my attention that our drupal based website is not viewable from certain countries (Dominican Republic, West Bank, etc.). I know these places and those browsing from those countries were at one point able to view our previous Dreamweaver site - so it is not a DNS issue. There is no error - the page just will not load (from pc/mac/firefox/explorer). Does anyone have an idea of how to address this problem?

Time for another Local Meetup?

I am ready to try to have another local Tidewater Get-together.

The last one went well and it was fun to meet people, but we never got together again.

  • We should work toward a sustainable schedule (once a month?)
  • We should find a location that allows us to discuss our projects and share information easily.

Who's up for a meetup?

Here's the Doodle link to check what is a good night for you:

Thanks!

Recent projects:

tcktcktck
Mozilla QMO
New York State Senate

So I guess that's a brief introduction. Hello!

Problem installing FCKEditor

http://drupal.org/node/491000

After installing, configuring, and reviewing the documentation, I get a copy of the Home Page repeated within the Body field when I create content. Very weird. Everything else seems to be OK.

Any ideas?

David

The answer was to use the newer WYSIWYG module and select FCKEditor as the editor.
