Ok I solved the problem. I had to rearrange the fields.

Field content: nid must be before field content: video !

Hello, I’m Hugo from Spain and I need your help. I want to do the same video gallery in my Web page. I followed your instructions until I struck with this:

“In the content:Video field, I set up a link which referenced the content:NID value in the link option”

I go to Content:video – rewrite results – output this field as a link –

Link Path: ¿?¿?¿?

Please help me, Thank you very much

Hi Steve,

Thanks for running it, although I did get sidetracked by trying to get my head around drush make during it. (It might be an answer to an issue I’ve been having on a project.)

Having had a meeting with a non-technical team today, I can appreciate it more but using the time allowed me to discover the real need and urgent requirements before beginning to discover a set of solutions, rather than dive in. Even starting from raw PHP, Perl etc without frameworks it is too easy to dive in and miss something. Although 37Signals appear to claim build first, I suspect that with their considerable talent it makes it easier to dive in rather than spend a huge amount of time planning and if they can do it that way and deliver fine products, well who is to criticise?

Cool re: Brighton and will try to make at least one day. Must check the diary in the next few days.

All best,

Iain

Hiya

Thanks for coming to my session on flip charts and features!

Interesting what you say about being opposite to 37signals build first with minimal planning – I thought that’s what I was saying! My main goal was to get people to think a little first – many in Drupal come from non-IT background such as design and marketing, so trying to pass on a few tips.

Drupal has all the code there already I guess it is a little different as you start with a lot more than with just PHP, Ruby, etc.

Had a great weekend too and I look forward to Oxford – just confirmed DrupalCamp Brighton for 28/29 April, hope you can make it!

Hi Rich,
My current plans are that it is integrated into another project. I posted it as something that might be of interest but I will probably develop it in some way in the next few months.

I would be interested to see where you take this project in the near future and what your ultimate plans for it are.

Comment on Thinking about texts and communities at Textcamp by iain_emsley

It has been a while since I’ve read the Byron (about 15 years give or take) so memory is a bit hazy. Hmmm, that could be interesting re: the visualisation. Perhaps one for a little later in the day but gets into how we can make text mining more interesting.

Great piece Iain. If anyone is reading this, and wants to join the discussions of those who participated at Text Camp, you can do so by visiting: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/tcamp11

Also, must point this out, Byron expressly rhymes “Juan” with several different words in the poem in order to bemuse his reader. Very Byronic, but also the occasion for a quick visualisation of all the rhymes of Juan perhaps?
