Our mission is to connect Drupal users in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and surrounding areas. We get together monthly for presentations, site demonstrations, and hack nights. Our goal is to help new Drupal users get up to speed, foster the development of existing Drupal designers and Developers, and contribute to the larger Drupal community. The Research Triangle has a big concentration of technical folks, universities, and start-ups and we want to expose as many people as possible to Drupal and all that it offers.

Looking for college intern for drupal site
The Independent Communicators Alliance is looking for a college intern to assist with drupal development for icatriangle.org. Alas, this is small non-profit without paid staff, so this is an unpaid internship. But it's a great opportunity to do some drupal development and make connections with professionals in marketing, PR, design and editorial in the Triangle. Internship includes an associate membership in ICA.
The site in question is icatriangle.org.
The internship would entail:
Read moreURL aliasing questions
I've been mentally wrestling with a site's current aliasing, prior to deploying Pathauto and related modules. The original issue is when I created the site over on siteground I used for example, uvw-xyz.com since I personally prefer short easy to remember URL acronyms of the company or group name.
Read moreconflict with theme and/or module
I have a project where I'm reorganizing the content for a client (moving blocks around, changing menus), potentially installing and configuring some new modules, and putting it all in a new theme that I have designed using BlueprintCSS. I should also mention this is my first from-scratch theme, and my first time using Blueprint.

Read moreSite performance (Complex front page layout + Views)
Hi all,
I am currently working on a project to convert a static HTML newspaper site (with about 1700 articles in English and Spanish) to Drupal 6. Most of the data is imported and the site is pretty much assembled, but I am running into some major performance issues that I need some help with.
The basic content type used throughout the site is "Article", which has about a dozen CCK fields.

Read moreDatabase export/import question
I have been attempting to make a local version of a client's site for development. I was able to export a .gzip using phpmyadmin, but when I import it locally and compare to the live version, a lot of the tables are missing or are quite a bit smaller than the live version. A .zip export was only 4k so I assumed it was no good. The uncompressed database is around 117mb. I exported and downloaded it, and set the file size parameters in php.ini so that I don't get a "this database is too big" error.
Read moreviews arguments
Ok, I've got everything working. Using views, imagefield, imagecache, filefield, taxonomy. Have galleries set, images uploaded, galleries show in my primary menu fine. Final hurdle has me going buggy. Each gallery shows as a summary which when clicked on shows the thumbs, which when clicked on shows preview. How can I bypass the summary step and have the thumbs show directly in each gallery. Is it argument based? If so what/where. Module based? Thanks.
Read moreHeirarchy of Pages
Is Node Heirarchy the best way to tie a set of pages together when you don't want to put them in a book? I'm setting up to migrate an existing website into Drupal and want to replicate the link setup of some pages. For example, we have the following pages in the current website:
Organization
Bylaws
Board of Trustees
FutureWhen I click into the Organization page, I want to see a nav menu with the sub pages listed. What's the best/easiest way to replicate page layout in Drupal?
Read moreimages
I'm using fckeditor, icme, filefield, views. Disabled imagefield, image cache. I am able to upload images using fckeditor and convert them to thumbnails. However, once all images in the gallery are loaded to the views I can't click on the thumbnail to show the node. If I enabled imagefield I could set it up to do it but if I do enable it I cannot use fckeditor to upload photos to the body. Thoughts?
Read moreviews
Ok, I stumped. I accomplished this before but I can't remember how. I am creating an image gallery using views. Everything is configured and seemingly fine. My problem is this, I have created a content type called photo. When I create new content (photo) previously I would use fckeditor, inserting the image into the body. This worked great and everything was fine. This time however, I have this a block above my menu bar called photo with a choose tab and an upload tab.
Read moreHow to set up a cron job on a site that's protected with .htaccess/.htpasswd?
Howdy,
I'm trying to set up a cron job to run my cron.php file every hour. I've read through the docs on cron on Drupal.org (http://drupal.org/cron), and I tried executing the following commands, just to test:
wget -O - -q -t 1 http://www.example.com/cron.phpOR
curl --compressed http://example.com/cron.phpThe problem is is that I have a .htpasswd file on my site that restricts access, and curl and wget can't get to the page.
So, is there an easy way of allowing them to access the cron.php files?
images not showing
Same problem, text appears in the body but images don't.
Read moredisplay
Ok, i have no idea what I did but I have things as they should be as far as I know. I have my home page showing correctly when I view it in the edit and preview mode, but when I actually go to the page the body does not show, which is a picture with text over it. Hopefully this makes some sense. Any thoughts? I've gone thru every setting/menu item etc that I can think of with no result. Help is greatly appreciated.

Read moreback to square one
Well something went extremely haywire. The people at go daddy were even stumped. So, needless to say everything has been wiped clean and I'm starting over. It's a little easier this time around, however I'm having some trouble with fckeditor/icme. Stuff seems to be working but two issues that I have come up against are the rich text toggle, it states disable rich text but when clicked nothing happens. Directly under this is:
Switch to rich text editor
The ID for excluding or including this element is: edit-body - the path is: node/add/page

local host with mamp
I'm currently trying to set up a local host using mamp. I have it installed and running. Brought in drupal 6.13. Am currently trying to install it. I have created a copy of default.settings.php and created a new folder settings.php and put it in there. On the copy I changed the permissions thru get info to read/write. Still getting an error message and i cannot continue the install. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
