note

Also, quiet enough that i don't auto-join-- but good places to go for specific discussions on the given topics:

drupal-examples - discussion related to http://drupal.org/project/examples

drupal-commune - discussion related to http://agaric.com/blogs/drupal-work-collectives

drupal-bayarea - OK this isn't little-known but it's San Francisco, Oakland, etc.

Apache will also log errors to:

syslog

Stefan notes: in case of panic you can try to grep -R in /var/log for PHP Fatal error

Benjamin Doherty says this is covered in the DGD7 environment chapter.

A Drupal mask over thumbnails...
http://drupal.org/node/587562

"A strange bug with the last version, ie a span tag wich appears over thumbnails"

It's a slightly scary Druplicon.

AlexUA: "This is a feature, and you can disable it on the main Emfield configuration page."

By the way... the Problem this Update Fixed, and the Drupal Problem-solving Approach

Go to the page of the module that has the problem.

This is incorrect

Just update to the latest version. See http://data.agaric.com/raw/druplicon-feature-embedded-media-field-overlay-post for the fun story behind it.

Emfield module must be configured to have a custom directory to store its thumbnails in, otherwise the thumbnails are put in sites/default/files as temporary files (status zero), and are cleared out when cron runs.

If not installed yet:
sudo apt-get install nmap

$ nmap sojourner.mayfirst.org

Title of session: When There's Not a Module for That: Building a Drupal 7 Module
Track: Code
Experience: Intermediate

The Difficulty of Identifying All Hook Implementations

explained by Matej Midriak (wapnik):

Sorry i don't have time now to examine the code to find all those
patterns (if that's even possible without reading the entire drupal
sources), but here is one example.
In drupal_mail() function:

I think the best way is probably AJAX.

Using curl which takes a timeout argument is also possible.

http://php.net/curl

In Drupal 7, better to use drupal_http_request().

i asked about Opera:

Jeff Robbins:
Opera is the browser on alternate devices

they're very compatible

nowadays when they talk about Symbian - Nokia's OS

currently, in the marketplace, most people have android or iphone, and it's the same browser.

Ron:
[shops i consider role models]
i don't have them listed or ranked

most people were in the last presentation

in my opinion most [Drupal shops] are about the same size, under 40.
