Looking for Drupal programmer(s) with an interest in further development of a site dedicated to style. Have reached a point where we need local talent that can meet with us to discuss plans for expansion and updating our site, as well as be available for troubleshooting. Once plans made, telecommute is ok. Hourly reimbursement commensurate with experience/expertise. Does not require interest in style, but at least one such programmer would be advantageous. Thanks and hope to hear from you.

CINDUG: Using the menu tree in the theme
I have a site I am working on where I need to change the page banner based on which part of the primary menu tree the page is located in. The company has two divisions, and if the current page is anywhere in the 'division A' menus, I want to use one set of code, and if it's in 'division B' menus, I want to use another set.
I started looking into menu_get_active_trail(), but that doesnt appear to be returning useable data. Maybe I am trying to use it in the wrong context, as part of the page.tpl.php?
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Drupal Developer | Sandusky Newspapers, Inc.
We are a 187-year-old family of newspapers in Northern Ohio that is determined to provide a bleeding-edge selection of news and information sites to its community. We are currently running 5 Drupal sites (up from none two years ago) and will triple that number over the coming year. We are already taking advantage of the multisite features of Drupal to streamline theming and user handling. Over the next year we will push the envelope in multimedia applications, e-commerce applications, content recommendation, community management, and probably some other stuff we haven't thought of yet.

Regular Drupal Group Meeting in Troy on the 2nd Tuesday evening every month?
Since polling everybody's opinion recently, there appears to be at least 10-12 persons who are interested to meet in the Metro Detroit area. Since the Ann Arbor Drupal Group meets on the last Monday of each month, a meeting on Tuesdays during the second week of the month sounds like a terrific complement if there are folks who wish to attend both.
Please RSVP for the first gathering in the Troy area or vicinity on Tuesday July 14, 2009. If 1-2 members are willing to assist, that would be greatly appreciated.
Would you be interested to have a monthly Drupal meeting, social gathering, here in the SE Michigan region?
Any Ubercart users here in Metro Detroit?
