The Gainesville Drupal Users group had another great meeting tonight. We had a great turnout (9?).
The primary topic of June's meeting is doing the initial install and configure of GatorDUG.org, which will be the homepage for the Gainesville Drupal Users Group
- We installed Drupal 7 and several modules
- Talked about the new Field API and Entity System
- Created several content types: Location, Event
- Added fields to users (GO ENTITY SYTEM!), and created a basic view using the spectacular user experience that is Views3.
- We installed the Drupal 7 references module, and talked about node references and taxonomy.
- Talked a little bit about mapping through Gmap and Location modules (and briefly looked at the D7 statuses)
- Took a look at a site mockup that Mike (me) put together. Preview it here... comments welcome.
- Talked a little bit about the Video module and FFMPEG (this is completely unrelated to the GatorDUG site)
We had a couple new people, which is awesome. We discussed ongoing work on GatorDUG.org. Its unfeasible to complete the site in 2 hours per month, so we're going to open a discussion on the Gainesville GDO page to set up views, and finalizing the content. Next meeting (Thurs July 14th) will concentrate on theming.
Great meeting everyone!
