Found this article on Lifehacker and it reminded me of a topic Mary brought up at the last meeting about people googling your name and information.

Hey everyone,

I'm setting up a website for a tattoo shop and am using multisite to handle the multiple domains registered for the site.

so my sites structure looks like:

/sites/crossroadstat2.com/
/sites/xroadstatoo.com/
/sites/bearvalleyhydroponics.com/ (unrelated site, but is the "default" site)

The problem I've run into is that images uploaded to nodes while connected to crossroadstat2.com get uploaded to the crossroadstat2 files folder. When viewing the node from xroadstattoo.com the images don't appear.

example:

LA Drupal meets at least once a month, bringing together professional and upcoming talent from the world of Drupal. This month our meeting will include the following agenda:

• Mobile Drupal Sites - a discussion on Drupal sites going mobile. Tom Boone, an LA Drupal member, will be spearheading this talk and you should bring your mobile-Drupal questions.

• Drush on Windows - the uber-popular command line tool, Drush, runs on any platform. Last month Chris Charlton showed Drush on Mac OS X (Unix), and Nickolas will be showing Windows users this month how to reduce Drupal updates from hours & minutes to seconds!

• Firebug Lite - All web developers & designers are now relying on the Firebug extension for Firefox web browsers to help debug their JavaScript & CSS. For years Firebug has offered a version that works in any other web browser, allowing us to debug CSS reliably in Safari, Opera, or Internet Explorer! Firebug Lite is free, and there's even a Drupal module for it. This lightning talk is by Chris Charlton and will show you how Firebug Lite (module) works cross-browser in just seconds!

• Bad Camp 2009 - some of us locals are going to the "Bay Area" Drupal camp next month. Highlights of the camp can be shown/discussed.

• DrupalCon San Francisco 2010 - that's right, the next official Drupal conference will be in San Francisco, California. Yup, just North of us. If there are details to share with us locals, then we'll hear it. Otherwise, get ready for it come April 2010.

Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.

We are currently looking for an experienced PHP/MySQL developer to start immediately. Knowledge of Drupal or Zend Framework is a plus. Must be available to work at least 20 hours per week.

Qualifications

• Previous experience building a site using PHP and MySQL.
• Excellent analytical and problem solving skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline driven environment.
• A strong sense of ethics and personal responsibility.
• Most Importantly: The desire to be a great web developer, and own your job.

The High Desert Drupal group meets the first Wednesday of every month. This local group is a nice place for people to learn and talk about Drupal, a world popular content management system (CMS). We also talk about web development in general, covering all aspects from planning, design, development, and maintaining a web site. RSVP is not required and attendance is free. Tell all your friends!

What are we going to talk about?

FeedAPI

Argh! I'm having weird display issues. Ok, I've got a bunch of data setup in some nodes.

I created a block in views to display some of that data with fields. Date Created + Title.

For the most part it works perfectly. Except when I have a title like:

John's Hauling
becomes
John& #039;s Hauling (without the space between & and #)

I tried creating a new block and used this code:

Adobe's annual MAX conference is taking place this October 4-7th in Los Angeles, CA. I will be presenting three Drupal related sessions at this conference for Adobe. Most of my sessions show people how to customize Drupal 6 through themes, modules, and its administration. My sessions are 1-1.5hrs, with one session being a lab (BYOL: Bring Your Own Laptop Lab).

Adobe MAX is a paid conference, and has something like over 200 sessions. Early bird discount still available (as of this writing).

http://max.adobe.com

My sessions are:

• Customizing Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Learn how to install Drupal, a robust, full-featured web content management system, and publish your first pages. You'll be guided through common designer workflows using Drupal and learn how to customize Drupal theme templates. When this lab is complete, you'll be able to take your new skills back to work and be more productive.
• Exploring Web Content Management Systems from a Designer's Perspective - skill: Beginner - Watch an expert guide you through a selection of today's popular web content management systems and learn which one is right for you. This session will include detailed demonstrations of WordPress, Drupal, and the Adobe InContext Editing service in action, covering installation and publishing.
• Learn to Rock Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Explore the functionality of Drupal from a designer's perspective while learning about the most common workflows. Learn how to integrate Drupal with Dreamweaver and how to use Creative Suite 4 Web Premium to customize Drupal theme templates.

I have presented at MAX before, and attended twice. This conference is huge. Last year 5,000 attendees ran around chatting Flash, Flex, AIR, Photoshop, After Effects, everything Adobe. One of the new things Adobe has done at MAX is run un-conferences inside the main conference building. Last year there were four un-conferences going on all week inside MAX, adding to the already hundreds of sessions. This year I am involved with the Web CMS theme of the conference, promoting Drupal & PHP. Some of you know my Drupal Dreamweaver extensions and Theme Starter desktop software, so I am glad to be exclusively covering Drupal in my talks this year. One session covers the different approaches in Web CMS software like Wordpress & Drupal. For that session I will be sharing the stage for that session with a Wordpress counterpart. I hope that session turns into a feature flinging match as it'll help me get caught up with Wordpress limitations.

I'd like to promote the MAX conference to the Drupal community, and at the same time ask who is already planning to attend. We can meet up and rep Drupal together.

THIS WIKI PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

In helping with LA Drupal's D7 Code+Test Sprint event, I noticed there's some easy points that help newbies feel progressive. There are many ways to help at a Code+Test sprint, and here are the ways that helped us in Los Angeles.

• Make sure you have a Drupal.org account, with "Contributor links" turned on in your profile. This will expose a sidebar block linking to areas of interest for contributors. For example: "Patches to review (D7)" is what most people click on to find patches needing review.

L.A. Drupal - Los Angeles' Professional Drupal Network & User Group

When? Tuesday, August 25th, 7:30PM-9:30PM

Whats an LA Drupal meetup like? Fun & Interesting!

LA Drupal meetups are free and open to anyone interested in Drupal from beginner to guru, but you have to bring a fun attitude and be willing to share or learn.

We have areas for networking, general topics, and more advanced learning and sharing. Presentations and a big breakout session at the end to chat and network.

We like to highlight and encourage folks with cool local projects to present at upcoming meetings. In the past year we've had presenters from Warner Brothers Records; hosting over a hundred artist sites on Drupal, StandUp2Cancer.org - over a million hits in one day during the airing of the show, and local shops such as www.ThisByThem.com, www.openChimp.com, www.chillco.com, www.exaltations.net, www.IJHANA.com, www.WorkHabit.com, www.AchieveInternet.com, and others. Topics have included How to build your first Drupal Module, Using Views 1 & Views 2, Panels module, Drush module, Theming, and Scaling Drupal & Cloud computing among others.

Have a topic you'd like to see? Add it here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/9220

Book Raffle - come win a Drupal related book!

Topics for the night:

• Group discussion of mobile site development in Drupal. Tom Boone will speak briefly about his own recent experience creating a mobile version of a site and find out what others in the group have done so far in this area, to cover what tools/modules are available, what approaches work best in specific situations, what problems remain to be solved.

• Drush 2.0 for Beginners - Tired of using FTP to update Drupal core and all the modules you use? Time to learn Drush. Chris Charlton will be giving a gentle intro to the community winning software known as Drush (Drupal-shell). Drush literally will save you hours every week managing all your Drupal sites. Drush is not a module, but instead a command-line "Terminal" application, where in one single command can update your Drupal core and ALL modules in under 1 minute! Chris will cover the basics of getting Drush running on a Mac/Unix/Linux environment. You can install Drush locally (great idea!) or on a web server (another great idea!).

• Drupal Camp LA 2009 community recamp - we'll have a chunk of time where camp attendees can voice their favorite moments of the camp. Did you attend? Did you just love a certain session or two? If so, come voice the goods from the largest West coast Drupal event.

Main Presentation Area
Main presentation area holds up to 80 people and is geared towards general interest topics, especially geared towards people who are new to Drupal or the Topic(s) being presented. It is also a forum for sharing, asking questions.

Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.
