South Africa groups.drupal.org

I propose here at drupal za that we all get involved in creating an afrikaans translation for drupal 6x and 7x.

This is the current project page http://drupal.org/project/af. The last commit on the page was 3 years ago, I think the project has lost interest completely. I reckon it is up to us as South African drupalers to get this off the ground. The current translation is for drupal 4.7x.

If you are keen check out the [[http://drupal.org/translators]translation process]
I have contacted the only maintainer killes@www.drop.org for a request to transfer the translation in order to properly set up a CVS application.

I am however a soetie and am not that good with the afrikaans language, so I do need help - Just very keen to keep this unique langauge alive in cyberspace. Anyone is interested in doing this part-time let me know.

Hi Everyone!

In a custom template I have the following code that 'if the user is a certain membership, in this case Platinum' cck fields appear of that specific member.

<?php
$account = user_load(array('uid' => $node->uid));
if (in_array('Platinum Member', $account->roles)) :
?>
content (cck fields)
<?php
endif;
?>

which works fabulously :)

I would like to add another role (Premium Member) to this code as follows:

<?php
$account = user_load(array('uid' => $node->uid));
if (in_array('Platinum Member', 'Premium Member', $account->roles)) :
?>

But unfortunately when I add the second role, it does not work ..

Please would you be so kind to show me the correct code to make that work?

Look most forward to any reply, and thank you.

Hi,

Sorry if this is off topic, but I've noticed many Drupalers at our meetings with notebooks. I'm looking to buy a notebook to travel with, basically just to check email, add content to the site, etc.

1 or 2 USB ports would be great as well.

Do you perhaps have any suggestions? There seems to be such a large choice available.

Look forward to any reply, and thanx!
