Join us at 6:30pm at The Jibe Multimedia, Inc. for our VanDUG Meeting.
An Introduction to Drupal render() & Content Output in Drupal 7
There's a new technique for creating, changing, and outputting HTML in Drupal 7! New are the render() function, hook_page_build, and hook_page_alter. If you're a module programmer or themer join Dale McGladdery of Agentic on Thursday April 28, 2011 at 6:30 to find out how these functions can make small HTML tweaks and major page changes much easier. Dale will take you for a short walk up the learning curve showing you the basics of these new functions. After the presentation there will be an opportunity for audience members to share their experiences.
Dale McGladderyis web developer with Agentic. He's beening working with Drupal since V4.7 and sometimes wishes there was a hook_life_alter as easy to use as hook_page_alter.
Lightning Talks
Attendees are invited to share their experience by giving a 2 to 4 minute presentation on any topic of interest to the Drupal community. If you want to use a laptop to show a website or control panel please be sure you have the necessary cable to connect to an overhead projector.
