Jeff Miller's Big Idea Creativity seeking form

Which do you prefer and why? Rootcandy, Admin Menu, or Admin module?

I started with Admin Menu. Loved it.

Then I discovered Root Candy, even better.

Now I am seeing Admin module (where it uses a left column for admin menu functions).

I am trying to figure out which one is best and why. So, I turn to you for input!

For anyone that is using or wants to use sermonaudio.com, I have put together a module that integrates into their SOAP API. The main feature that I needed was mass importing of sermons into sermonaudio.com. This is accomplished through views, cck, and vbo. I am still in the process of writing the help files to go along with the module, but just wanted to check out here if there is any interest in it and maybe get some ideas about features that would be nice to have in the module as well.

A lot of times our clients want to link a menu item directly to a file for download. Typically they have something like a pdf brochure that they want to be downloadable from a primary menu link or linked to from within another node.

In the past we would ftp the file to the server and just set the path to link directly to that file. Now we use a module called 'Downloadable File' that allows the content managers to create these downloadable files without requiring FTP access.

You can get the 'Downloadable File' module here http://features.centogram.com/node/4 .

Apologies in advance for this crossposting to 11 groups. I recently started an issue to help us get to know each other better: Add field for "Memberships in Associations, Societies, and Other Professional Organizations" to User Profile. The initial response was, "Don't see why not, but let's hear more support before we do." So this is an appeal to read the issue and consider giving it your support.

This is especially important in some of the more specialized groups — do I answer this question as if I'm talking to an SEO expert, or does this person need to know the background that they skipped over? To a great extent, being able to see their professional affiliations will answer that for me.

Another way it could help is to identify specific Drupalists to target for a BOF at any upcoming event. As a hypothetical example, maybe someone is not in the Design and Information Architecture group, but is in the IxDA. Shouldn't we be sure they know about any Design BOF that is being planned?

This new field would appear under "Work" and would be at least a text field so you could enter any membership you have that you feel is significant to your online activities in general or your activities with Drupal in particular. Ideally, the field would accept html, as does "Companies worked for," so you could link to the website of each group or association you list.

As with any other fields in the profile, no one would be compelled to complete this one. It would simply be available to anyone who felt that it was useful to share this information with others in the Drupal community.

Please take a few seconds to give your support to Add field for "Memberships in Associations, Societies, and Other Professional Organizations" to User Profile.

In the past few days I've upgraded from 6.16 to 6.17 and installed CiviCRM.

Since I didn't use the search function during that span, nor in a while, I don't know why or when it broke.

So, it's a church website, I searched my name, "church", "foc", "bible", all came back with: You must include at least one positive keyword with 3 characters or more.

I did some Googling but didn't find anything helpful. I turn to you!

(p.s. permissions allow search to everyone, even anon; entire site is indexed, cleared cache, ran cron, )

1410hrs update: ran update, reindexed site, checked permissions, still no clue as to problem

I've asked for help on drupal.org, none received. So, reaching out to my North Cack peeps.

I have a site (church site). A member (pastor) has a blog. I want to feature the blog.

Attempt 1: Using core module Aggregator, publish box that has blog title and recent posts. This works, kinda. I get the titles of individual entries, but the url is the same for each one.
Article 1 (links to Article 3)
Article 2 (links to article 3)
Article 3 (links to Article 3)

Attempt 2: Using Feeds module, import blog as Feed Items. Formatting is off because import has user / role of Anonymous. There is a place to set the user for the import and I did, but it isn't taking, it's still importing as Anonymous. So there is no formatting because I use a 'simple text' input filter for anon users.

So, neither one really works for me. Have any of you had success with either of these modules for importing blogs?

So, here is what is special about a church directory, families. In a business directory you just have one entity and their listing. In a church directory you may have 5 or 6 people, each with their own unique account, needing to be displayed as one entry.

What you really need is a block with a family photo, then names of each person, then contact info. What to do...
