Alumni

Hi Drupal Boston, Alumni & Genealogy groups. I was pretty active in these groups about 10 years ago. Been out of it for a while, but jumping back in now as I prepare to build & launch a site that's been my dream for 20 years!

Hey there!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the seemingly slow transition into summer weather here in New England.

I wanted to let everyone know that we'll be holding our Drupal 7 Layout and Theming workshop later this month at our Waltham, MA headquarters on June 26 and 27.

This two day workshop will provide you with the following skills by the time you leave:

i am working with emfield module but its not working good
once a time it is ok but when i updated the version then here is an problem.
and problem is that when we create a new node or edit existing node it say url or embeded code is not correct.
when i solved that issue then a new issue is come it is that
when i create or edit the node there is not any url or embeded code mean it is removed automatically.

I recently launched the Rice University Class of 2009 Online Community as a venue at which members of my graduating class can keep in touch with each other. Specifically it aims to help those who wouldn't otherwise go out of their way to keep in touch with our class (especially with those members with whom they weren't the closest). The community is closed, but I'd be happy to answer any questions about it, especially if you're considering doing something similar. Thus far roughly 2/7 of my class are registered.

George and I talked for 30 minutes this morning trying to wrap our heads around site config, coordination and version control, and modules and other general alumni happenings. We concluded that we think it is realistic that we get a 'brochure' site polished and running before Paolo's 90th gathering at Arco in mid June.

We are working on an alumni site and we would like to extend the drupal profile to our specs. We want to populate the profile with very basic information; name, and email address, and then notify the alum of their account being created. We then want them to be able to log in and add information at their discretion, and ideally also expose it to certain user roles at their discretion.

I did some writing about my ideas on social media and it's role in society formation and organization. Just wanted to share it here. Features a picture I took of Paolo Soleri in 2006 while we were working at Cosanti on a nice new earth casting they were adding onto the existing ceramics area.

OK, so it's been a while, but we are back working on the arcosanti alumni site at www.arcosantialumninetwork.org. It has been a long drought, but the timing is better this time as all of the key D6 modules are in official release and we as a team are more ready to work on it now.

I've finally got a 1.0 release of the Alumni site up and running on a dev environment. We decided to migrate the site from D5 to D6 now since we were basically at the ground floor. This was a tricky decision because there are definitely lots of modules that are still in development that are pretty critical for any drupal site. However, Views and CCK are getting very close and a few others will follow close behind them once they are ready.

We are getting together to talk about our alumni network and how we can use Drupal to re-launch the website. I'm sure we will be talking about Arcology and Arcosanti in general, and how social media might empower our alumni to organize and act on ideas for furthering the Arcology concept.
If you are interested in Arcology, or even ecological design in architecture and urban development, we'd love to hear from you. We'll be meeting at Mission City coffee in Santa Clara.

Cheers

Other groups that members of this group might be interested in are:

• Alumni
• Community
• Bay Area(for Stan)
• D.C.(for George)

Just wondering, I'm thinking of converting an alumni site to be Drupal based, but I noticed one of the example sites, crateralumni.com is heavily spammed. This would be one of my main concerns about switching. Is this common, and what possible solutions are available?

Thanks,
Brian

I've been recently hired by a Public High School in downtown Boston and after displaying some level of technical proficiency, the school has decided to make me their official Drupal person with the first project being to overhaul the existing Alumni Website. I have never worked with a CMS and have made it clear to them that this is something I will have to learn...

How can we get yahoo groups sort of functionality with drupal? - mainly when a user posts something using his mail id it shld get posted onto the site moderation queue .... how can we achieve this functionality? once approved by the moderator it shld be sent to the goup members ... ny clues???

The past few months I set out to build my first major Drupal project, and this is the result. It's a site that will be used for alumni and current students of Simon Kenton High School in Independence, Kentucky. We expect possibly over 3000 users as last forum site used had about 2500.

The one thing that really makes me happy is how much the users appreciate what has been done. I'm still working to improve some parts of it, as I my skills have improved since I started the site (over 4 months ago) and there are some parts I did back then.

Site can be seen here: http://www.simonkenton.org

We are using Drupal 4.7.0 for our Alumni website www.stanislites.org. We also use civicrm for contributions and member management. Of course our Registration page is ugly with Organic Groups and Civicrm groups..till we find a better way to get og and civicrm to speak with each other

Hi there! I just launched the University Student Organizations group. The groups seem related and I thought there might be some overlapping interest. I'll probably have a good deal of interest in running alumni websites when I graduate from college in two years!
