importing large db
I recently had to reformat my hard drive and start over, and now I've done most of my re-installing. (Also now have an imaging program to prevent this in the future!) I want to get my localhost set up again, but I'm having a memory limit problem when trying to import. I did a dump from the host, and tried to import, but got the size error. I increased the upload_max_filsize, memory_limit, and post_max_size in php.ini, since I found that could be a possible solution. That did not work. I tried bigdump - errored out on that as well.

Pulling data from a Lotus Notes Database into a Content Type
I am curious if anyone knows of an easy way to pull data from a Lotus Notes database into a Drupal Content Type?
We have access to LEI (Lotus Enterprise Integrator) and I am hoping that LEI can either push the data directly into Drupal's db or that LEI can export it in a way that Drupal can import.
.. or, hopefully, there is a db access module somewhere?
I have no idea how to do any of that, but if some one has done so I would greatly appreciate some input.
Thanks,
Read moreView access to field in a referenced node
I am new to Drupal, but I do have a programming background, and have Drupal admin experience.
I have been able to put together some basic views so far.
I am working on a Room Reservation type site in D7 for our intranet and I want to put together a view that shows the
reservation event title, date/time, room#, building
The only problem I am have is getting access to the building. The building is referenced on the Room content type.
Room Res -> Room -> Building
Is it possible to gain access to a field on a referenced node?
Thanks all

Forming a Drupal in Higher Edu Consortium
I've been having a conversation via email with a bunch of higher EDU drupal developers which I'm sick of just talking about so let's make it happen: A Drupal in Higher Education Consortium. The goal of this isn't some kind of bloated, formal relationship but instead a series of lightweight tools across different websites (this one included) in order to help each other through problems we face.
