kids' Own Publishing Partnership Web Developer Employment type:  Contract Telecommute:  Allowed

Kids' Own Publishing Partnership are looking for a Drupal web developer to assist with a re-design of Practice.ie; an online space making visible arts practice with children and young people.
http://practice.ie/
Any one interested in working with us will need to have a tax clearance certificate to work in Ireland.

Can you contact us at info@kidsown if you are interested, can you send me on some details about your rate and some examples.
Initially we are looking for an individual to assist in the redesign but we would also need support to maintain the site also.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Hi all,

I have a query about views and node references. I have 2 content types called Class & Resources.
The class content type has a node reference field called AssociatedResources and the Resources content type has a node reference called AssociatedModule

I would like to have a number of users with permission to create Resources and as part of that process associate it with a particular class using the associated class list of nodes

I need to restrict the class content type creation & edit permissions to a smaller group but would also like the associated resources to be listed automatically if and when a new resource is associated with that module and not require the editor to edit each class to update the select widget list.

Is there a way

When I define the class content type to say that the associated resources field should pass class content's own node ID (which I assume is unknown until the node is saved for the 1st time) as the argument to the GetAssociatedResources view?

Would that also automatically list them without needing the editor to edit each class to see if new resources should be displayed?

Hi Drupal Ireland users,

I'm hoping some users based nearer to home will be able to help clear up a problem I am having getting a User Reference field to display the content I want the way I want.

I have a View with a page display that lists all the current users on a table list (Firstname Surname) with the firstname linked to the profile node for editing. The list is supposed to be used in a number of content types so I don't have to translate account name's when selecting users to associate with that content type.

When I change the User Reference to use the View I get a drop down list with way more details than I need
Active: No CreatedDate: DateValue Email: test@test.ie Last Accessed:Date Firstname:Tom Surname:Thumb....

Is there a way for me to modify my view so the drop down list only Displays specific field?
Should I really create a feed display instead of a node display if I want to use the same list in a number of locations?

Any help is welcome

Hi, Am a drupal user in Limerick so am just wondering if anyone is interested in trying to get a Mid-West Drupal group going. Maybe we could meetup once a month to share ideas etc.

The Burren College of Art, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare have kindly offered space to host this summer's DrupalCamp in Ireland. Wi-Fi, a large gallery space, a lecture theatre, a seminar room and cafeteria are available both days. And come evening we can enjoy some great restaurants and bars in the village, which also has several hotels, B&Bs and self catering cottages in which to stay. On top of that, it's set in the unique Burren landscape, looking out over Galway Bay. Doolin, Lahinch and Kinvara are nearby, so if you want to make a proper break of it and come earlier or stay on after the camp, there's lots to see and do.

If you're keen to help out in any way, please don't be shy, do let us know. What we really need now are for people to volunteer to give presentations on any aspect of Drupal for either absolute beginners or seasoned developers.

We're compiling practical information for the website which should also allow for registration when live. But please post a comment below if you have any questions or suggestions. If you already know you want to come, be sure to let us know so that we can start getting an idea of numbers.

Here's the college's website

And you can see the location of the campus on Google Maps.

Hi guys,

We are working on creating an image gallery with Flash and Flex/ActionScript which will be open source and placed on Drupal.org in the modules section, and are currently in the code review phase. We wanted a bit of feedback from the community before posting this on the Drupal site, so we are having a 30 minute e-seminar to present the module and gather some ideas. If you would like to join and help make this better, please register at this address:
http://drupalimagemodule-drplcomm.eventbrite.com

The registration is just for us to estimate the size of the Connect room needed.
Thanks a lot for your help.

This isn't a Drupal site, but, I was blown away by the elegance in the layout and design. A superb example of a simple but very good site.

Apart from the general look n feel, I like the way the iconised navigation is implemented. Superb.

Great music too!

When I get time, I might have a bash at recreating a simple Album previews player for a Drupal artist site using similar ideas. In other words, when someone clicks on "preview album" links, they don't get the standard list of tracks with a button...they are presented with something resembling thesixtyone.com

OK, so maybe I am missing something really basic, but this cropped up today when I was creating a directory index for publications on one of our sites.

I created a view using the default glossary view as a reference. When I first created the view and added my filters for Published and Node Type I noticed that the preview list had no sort order so I added Sort By: Node Title and previewed again... was surprised to see something along the lines of:

Advice Note 1: Charitable Status
9 things you need to know about policy analysis
A Guide to Good Employment

So, got a bit confused and then noticed that there was a hidden index linking to /publications-a-z/page_1/%20 - turns out that one of our editors had accidentally created a node with a space at the start of the title.

Now, I can tell the editors to make sure they don't do things like this, but it would be nice to handle it programmatically by running a trim() on $node->title... problem is that I have never hooked a core function before so I'm not entirely sure where to do that. I just need a pointer to which function to hook into in order to do the trim. I've looked at node_validate and node_save, but I can't see where the title is being validated as not empty (which would be a good place to start).

I also don't particularly want to have a complete copy of the core function code in my module, is there a way of forcing the hook to perform it's changes to the node and then call the core function?

I usually like to work these things out myself but I am a bit stumped and any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The Environment Indicator adds a coloured strip to the side of the site informing you which environment you're currently in (Development, Staging, Production etc). This is incredibly useful if you have multiple environments for each of your sites, and like me, are prone to forgetting which version of the site you are currently looking at!

This module can help you avoid making configuration changes to your live server by mistake, by adding a coloured strip to the side of your site, clearly marking each version of the site.

The Environment Indicator settings page allows you to modify some elements of the indicator's behaviour and appearance. Individual settings, such as the text to display and the colour can be overridden for each of your specific environments in the site's settings.php file. This allows you to customise the indicator for each of your environments without needing to make any changes in the database. This means that the Environment Indicator will always display correctly when moving your site from development to staging to production.
