Taxonomy Questions
I'm working on a review type website and i've broken it into Categories. I got the Categories working with Taxonomy which is pretty cool, but what I want to do is when someone goes to a "Category" I want to give them the option to sort the listing by popularity (and other criteria) would the Views Module be the thing to do that?
Thanks,
I'm trying to plan out how to do a review type site in Drupal if anyone has done something similar.
Read moreAnyone know of a good Rating Module which does this
I'm looking for a Rating/Review Module where basically you can create a "Review" Content Type and review that item based on multiple criteria, so say you were reviewing different Apples based on 'Redness', 'Taste', 'Value', etc..
So the owner of the site could rate the product based on those three criteria.
Also a Registered user could rate the items but the registered users ratings would be seperate but combined into a single 'user rating'.
If anyone knows of a good Review system that would help alot in my upcoming Drupal Project.
Thanks

Next meetup
I'm assuming by the lack of discussion on the website that everyone has been very busy, so I think it's safe to wait till June for our next meeting. Is everyone cool with that?
Also, for the next meeting I'd like to cover two subjects that I think are useful for everyone:
- Photo galleries
- Private content
We could use the ForEveryChild website we started last meeting as our example. I think this should take 30-45 minutes to cover, so there will be plenty of time for any other presentation ideas.

Group Manager
I'm proposing that we move the manager position to another active member in our group. It may even be a good idea to have multiple managers to keep things moving along if the other is busy. There are some cool things that can be done on these group sites and without an active Manager we can't really take advantage of this.
Read moreRecording the next meet-up
I want to get everyone's thoughts on whether it would be worthwhile for us to record anything at this next meet-up. At future meet-ups I'll definitely do a better job with my camera/audio work (if you've seen the one from our last meet-up you'll know what I'm talking about). I'm just wondering if it'd be something that the people that can't make it would want to watch. I'm guessing that if we're all going to be working on this site that it'd be hard to really get some good shots of what we're doing.
Ideas? Thoughts? Comments? etc.

On Tuesday we will be creating a website for the non-profit organization For Every Child, an adoption agency that works with orphanages in Taiwan and Haiti. For Every Child helps families navigate through the US and foreign courts to make the adoption possible. The current websites they have are:
Read moreTuesday's Website Marathon Agenda
I’m sure there are many of us who feel very comfortable walking through a website start to finish. And there are those who may not feel like an expert at the entire process, but are comfortable with some part of it. For this reason I’d like to divide up the process into sections and ask others to step in and present a section. Trust me when I say that this will get pretty boring if I’m the only one presenting! So step up and take a section.

Just wanted to let you guys know I just relaunched our DATC.edu site on Drupal 6. It was a heck of a project that I've been working on over the last few weeks and months. I finally set a schedule to get it done (3.5 Days) and I did it!
Go check it out! Any feedback is welcome!
I'll have a write-up on my work blog and personal blog when I get a chance tomorrow.

Website Creation Process
Here's a basic checklist of how I set up a Drupal website from scratch. I'm sure I've missed some steps, which is why I'm adding this as a wiki page. If you see anything that I've missed, or something that seems unnecessary, please make the correction and add your name by it. I'm sure there's room for debate on some of these things, and I think it might be good to discuss some of these issues here. So feel free to add a link to another discussion page for any topic.

Video from last night's Drupal Meet-Up
Here's a link to the video of last night's Meet-Up. My apologies for my fat head being in the way the entire time. :)
The audio should be loud enough to pick up what's going on though. This was the group's first time trying to record the meet-up and post it up for everyone to see so we're learning!

Ideas for next meeting
Hey,
I was thinking of some ideas for the next meeting and some topics that would be helpful to me would be discussing addons and layouts for different types of general sites anyone might have.
e.g. News Website, E-Commerce, Blog Site, Article Based, etc.. And different ways you could use Drupal to approach a general site idea.
