Employment type:

Hello Pittsburgh Drupal wranglers:

Our company, a network supporting service members and military families, is looking for someone to repair/redo a Drupal website that we have in progress. Our tech person is not up to speed on all the neat gadgets Drupal offers and suggested we farm out some projects.

Our wish list is to work with someone in the Pittsburgh area on a personal level - "We would want to meet you and are very interested in your ideas."

We would like to complete this project ASAP so that we can get our new site up and running.

Allow visitors to a site to make custom collections of photos...

What modules would I use to build a website that ...

  1. has 100s of photos that can only be added and modified by an admin [i.e. not the majority of users]
  2. allows users to find and group photos into their own custom made collections
  3. leave and come back to view their own collections as well as collections made my others
  4. edit their own collections
  5. then share their collections with others

Thanks,

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

Rubric and Assignment Studio Modules Released!

I've been rambling / showing off aspects of these two modules for almost 1 and a 1/2 years now and FINALLY they have been completely rewritten in an open way. They are two separate modules though I'd recommend using them together as that's how they've been tested fully. They are currently being used during our active semester in 4 courses and so far results have been very positive. If you're looking to do online assessment with Drupal, this is a big component and I hope that I can integrate my solution with other projects discussed in this group.

Lot of sites to manage? Maybe this can help (or you can help with it)

UPDATE Network Manager has been released for 5 6 and 7.
I'm releasing a new module soon and wanted to get some feedback on a screencast that I did. It's a project called the Network Manager (http://drupal.org/project/network_manager) and it helps you manage / maintain your sites all from within one site (given permissions set correctly for mysql user).

Here are links to the screencast (Jing forces it to be in 5 minute segments) --

Part 2 - http://bit.ly/yR6Zy
Part 3 - http://bit.ly/BLWrU

Presenting at the August Meetin?

Is anyone other than Thad interested in presenting at the August 19th meetup? I'm planning to present, so I'm thinking we could fit 2-3 more people. It's a bit far out now so you don't have to commit 100% yet, but it would be nice to have an idea of people's intentions ahead of time.

Narrowing down future meeting days/times

I've volunteered to try to find the best predictable schedule for our monthly Drupal meetings and am hoping for some input! It might be easier to get some higher and more consistent attendance if the meetings are set further in advance and are on some sort of a schedule. I was thinking along the lines of "every third thursday at 7" or "the first tuesday of the month at 7:30". So throw your suggestions at me and then when there are some choices that are emerging, I'll do a poll and we'll go from there. Thanks!
