How to make Require_once refreshable
by Nancy Wichmann 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

I was trying to track down an issue I am having with the node module's content_types.inc so I stuck in some messages. Unfortunately, the menu system uses require_once to load these files, so my changes are not working. I really don't want to have to reboot every time I do something. Is there any quicker way to get PHP to reload these files? Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

How to pass an email address vom cck to a webform
by Ernst Plüss 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi On our web site we have a big number of cck nodes which do describes different classes. The students should get a chance to subscribe to a class by filling in a webform. There are a few different cck node types and a big number of cck nodes. But we'd like to use only one webform (which is a node). My question is: The CCK nodes do contain an email address. The webform should somehow get the email address of the node which linked to it (via node reference?) and send the email to this address. How can we do this. I spend several hours in searching the web and drupal.org without finding a usefull answer. I would be very happy to get some usefull information on this topic. Thanks a lot. Ernst

Needs a Postgresql user to do a quick test
by Nancy Wichmann 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

I have developed an add-on to the configdoc module for gathering module debugging information. Because it gets stuff from "information_schema" I would like to find a Postgresql user who can do a quick test (5 minutes) for me before I submit it. If you can help, please reply privately -- not to the whole list. Thanks. Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Xpath query for class matching
by nitin gupta 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi all, For the module I am maintaining at drupal, I need to select the element which has a specific class. I am using the following query for it: for eg <div class="foo"></div> is selected by the following query. $class = "foo"; $xpath->query("//*[@class = '".$class."']"); But, this fails in case of multiple classes, i.e. does not select this : <div class="foo bar"> </div> I don't have much experience in writing regex, can someone please help me out with this. One more question: is this url valid : http://xyz.com/path with space.html Looking forward. -- Regards, Nitin Kumar Gupta http://publicmind.in/blog/

Apache restriction for admin interface...
by Philip Mather 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Afternoon, I'm the paranoid type and so after installing and setting up my lovely new drupal site I decided that, with all due respect, I'd feel much more comfortable restricting access to the /admin section with an apache password prompt. I'm sure you've done a very good job and adhered to best practices and got it all implemented right but unfortunately my day job involves on-line casinos and lots of other peoples money and hence I am a fully signed-up, card-carrying member of the tin-foil hat wearing security brigade ;^) Anyway, I looked about and couldn't find anyone who'd implemented this, not on google or this list so I thought I'd share it with you so that I could get some more eyes over it and in case you wanted to add it to you apache config somewhere.. " RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=admin [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=admin_request:1] <Files *> Order Deny,Allow Deny from env=admin_request AuthName "Drupal Admin" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /somepath/somewhere/apache.htdigest.user Require user philip.mather Satisfy any </Files> " ...it's not the most trivial of things to implement unless you've used mod_rewrite a fair bit, you'll also need mod_env as well, and perhaps others about to request such a feature will find this before posting. Appologies if this is a repeat or considered off-topic. It should and does (from my testing anyway) catch both the elegant and full URL forms. If anyone spots any problems with it let me know and feel free to re-use it but obviously there's no warranty what-so-ever, you could probably adapt the same to restrict other pages as well I guess. -- Regards, Phil

taxonomy terms as view field
by Jeff Greenberg 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

I'm having a devil of a time. I need to replace the Ubercart catalog page with my own. They don't use a template, so I've created a view and will just change my menu links to suit (cat instead of catalog). The title of the page needs to be the taxonomy term of the product. There's no setting for that in view. So I will have the taxonomy term as a field that isn't displayed, and grab it in the template and use it for the title. The first problem is that Taxonomy Term as a field choice does not all specifying a vocabulary ID. The product's brand is a vocabulary, and so is the catalog, so I can't specify that the field be taxonomy term, because what I get back is unpredictable. So I made it All Taxonomy Terms, which -does- let me specify the vocabulary. The trouble there, is that with a hierarchical vocabulary, even though there is only one term selected when creating the node, all parent terms are returned in the term field. Ok, so I'll just use the final term in the template for the title. What happens is that in the live preview for the page, the taxonomy terms are listed. But when I dump $row in the template (views-view-fields--viewname--page.tpl.php) the row contains the other fields, but not the taxonomy terms field?!

how to create channel based template callback
by wang zifeng 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hey Guys, first I am new to drupal development and try to learn everything about drupal by scratch. My questions might be easy to you but still hard for me, so any reply is welcomed and appreciated. Recently, I am going to create a customize module that to show all the blog members with their avatars triggering by hook_menu ‘?q=blog’ path. I write the code as what the drupal module development guide taught, first to use hook_menu to route the path as well as the callback function, then use hook_theme to state the template, and then use theme() function in the customize function to call template, last is use template_preprocess function to create the variables before it pass to template file. But I found, all the variables that passed to the template file was packed into ‘contents’ region finally and placed into the template file. In other words, I can’t change the variable into other region, so that let me create a fully customize template for a specific path. For a clearer understanding of my problem: For example, like the difference between page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php, the second one could be fully customized with regions. If I want to call page-blogmember.tpl.php trigger by ‘?q=blogmember ‘ to show all the blog avatars but with a fully customized region template, how can I do. Like creating customized channel by ?q=video or ?q=game. Thanks Frank
