Hi - I'm looking for U.S.-based Drupal devs who have good general coding/db knowledge in addition to solid Drupal-specific coding knowledge. I periodically do Drupal sites that need dev work... from a little sweetening, to custom code being a major component of the project. I need Drupal devs who can partner up and help with these projects. What I really would like to find is folks who are running their own small business (1-3 people) and have a real level of professionalism - being good with deadlines and communication, responsiveness, etc.

I have emfield set up with YouTube support, and have added a couple of videos to my node. With a vanilla node.tpl that does print $content, the videos show up. But I want to do custom layout and place the videos in precise spots, and I can;t figure out how to do it. Using devel, I have picked through the $node obj, and it looks like the embed code i not in there, but is likely pieced together by the module on page build. How the heck can I print the video in the right spot in my layout?

Rob Feature (or anyone else who might know):

I spoke with MF on IRC, and he said he saw you demo an IMCE/filefield integration. I had just found "filefield sources" (http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources) but he said that wasn't it (it's not ready for primetime, anyway). Can you point me to the (a?) other solution?

I have been learning and working with Drupal for about 2 years - since v5. My primary focus is on design, marketing communications, user experience and light to medium site builds.

What I am looking for is individuals or small shops who are experienced in Drupal build-outs (with an emphasis on being abreast of best practices) as well as a good knowledge of the Drupal API and custom module creation. As I have been pitching Drupal more, situations come up where the technical requirements exceed my comfort level, and I'd like to have some people I can partner with.

A couple of episodes back, Matt mentioned the idea of skipping the blog module and just creating a custom 'blog' content type. The idea was that you could let anyone post to any blog, and use a 'pulldown' to choose which blog the post goes to. I am assuming what he was referring to was having a taxonomy vocab whose terms are the different blogs on the site. Doing views based on these terms would split the blogs up nicely. My question is - how can I do a setup like this, but make it so that each user can only post to certain blogs? I want to keep everything separated.
