Planning a DrupalCamp and Code Sprint

Introductory Blurb

Modeled on BarCamp unconferences, a DrupalCamp is learning sessions, discussion, workshops, and code sprints for the free software content management system Drupal. Anyone can present and everyone is welcome. The schedule of sessions is decided in the morning on each day, but we do encourage people to post what they would like to say or hear to gauge interest and encourage coordination.

This first general camp, DrupalCampBoston1, will feature a practical , immediately benefiting Open Media Boston and Boston Indymedia.

Presentation on Presenting

Emma Jane Hogbin's pre-Conference session, "Presenting You!"
http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/presenting-you-workshop

[paraphrased, I know it better as "...and tell them what you told them"]
Tell people what you are going to teach them.
Teach them.
Tell people what you taught them.

For a 45 minute presentation, can break your presentation into 15 minute chunks:

Panels2 and Organic Groups

So you want to use drupal's Organic Groups module and Panels2 because you've heard through the grapevine that really slick and useful things can be done with the combo..

Resolution

Well, here's what one of the experts has to say about it --> http://www.tejasa.com/node/160

highly recommended and very useful...

Helping Agaric debug site availability or network issues for a site

Debugging site availability issues to a MS Windows computer.

Click on Start, Run, and then type cmd and enter.

On the command prompt opened:

  • type ping www.example.com (press enter)
  • type tracert www.example.com (press enter)
  • type telnet www.example.com 80 (press enter)

For all three, you can copy the output and e-mail it.

User could not connect to database in making a site with a there-then-missing installation profile

OK, you're not likely to run into this problem.

However, if you do things the Agaric way, and point a domain at a server, and Apache sends it to a valid Drupal installation with a custom installation profile option, and you select that installation profile, and then realize you really want Apache pointing your domain to a different, 5.2 installation.

You may get an error about the user being rejected for the database table. And you can keep trying this page with reset passwords and anything and keep getting the same error. It's weird, but that's what happened to us.

Taxonomy image with Category.module (Drupal 4.7)

Using taxonomy_image with category module (Drupal 4.7)

This works, but you need to know the direct path to the taxonomy image administration page (not its settings page).

The taxonomy help page - admin/help/taxonomy_image - says to do configuration at 'administer >> categories >> images'

If the Category module is installed, taking over the core taxonomy module's functions, there will be no link to image or images anything in the menu or as a tab.

Instead, you can navigate directly to the taxonomy_image admin page here:

/admin/taxonomy/image

Ask Agaric: Page not publishing

I just added a member but it says that it is not public:
http://example.com/member-organization/council-canadians

please make it public and give me back authorization to publish.

I'll be providing way more detail than necessary in an educational, about Drupal manner...

For this problem simply, when editing the page or creating it in the first place, click on publishing options (right above the Preview/Submit buttons) and select Published, and submit.

Ask Agaric: Unable to edit a page

I also can't edit this page:
http://example.com/but-i-can-see-revisions

three users all created 11 weeks 11 hours ago had the role of "submin" -- here they are and their last access.

Not-Agaric Member 3 weeks 4 days ago
Alsonot Agaric 6 weeks 3 days ago

We probably weren't clear enough at all, but submin (borrowing from the modesty, falsely or not, of Subcomandante Marcos) is the user we grant all powers to-- just blindly checking off every box, because that makes it easier for us.
