Calendar Month view narrow columns
by nan wich 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

When I first display the monthly calendar (example.com/calendar) the columns are narrow but if I go forward a month, then back, the calendar looks like it should. You can see pictures at http://drupal.org/node/659934. Additionally, I have set up the content type with an optional To time. If the To time is not given, neither time shows up, but if a To time is specified, then both do. I selected "Display From date only" yet the ending time is still showing up. Nancy E.

views date filter of one day
by Hans Langouche 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi all, I have a view that filters on a cck date field and is set as <= now. The problem is that the view also returns nodes with dates that are one day later then now. I've seen some posts that mention the timezone settings could cause this, but couldn't find any solutions. The timezone is set to Europe/Brussels but the cck date field doesn't have hour granularity (in which case timezone conversion is not possible on cck field lvl). Weird thing is that when I use the views preview button in the views ui and copy the query (or copy the query from the dev ouput) into phpmyadmin and run it there, I do get the correct results. Any ideas ? HnLn

dissable "drupal_set_message()"
by Lluís 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

I have a node-type with lot of sub-nodes. When a node is deleted all of its sub-nodes are also deleted; but I don't want the user to receive 50 or so "node XXX has benn deleted"; I want the user to see just one message. Is there a way to do this? something like: <?php drupal_disable_messages(); while () { node_delete($i); } drupal_enable_messages(); ?> thanks -- *Les normes hi són perquè hi pensis abans de saltar-te-les *La vida és com una taronja, què esperes a exprimir-la? *Si creus que l'educació és cara, prova la ignorància. *La vida és com una moneda, la pots gastar en el que vulguis però només una vegada. *Abans d'imprimir aquest missatge, pensa en el medi ambient.

Re: [development] textfield from autocomplete to show value not key
by Dave Reid 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

This is how the auto-completion works. If you want to keep the $name in the textfield for the user, you should convert it to $id during form validation, much like if a user enters an aliased path, we would want to convert it using drupal_get_normal_path(). On display, you can re-covert it back to $name, much like we would use drupal_get_path_alias().

textfield from autocomplete to show value not key
by Joop Sint Jago 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

I have an autocomplete field picking-up text suggestion from an array($id => $name). When I start typing in the text-field the list of suggestions is properly showing the values (names) of the array. When I select a name however the key ($id) is shown in the textfield. The only way to show the name in the textfield is to populate the array as ($name => $name). But then $name is returned on submission while I need the key. Am I missing something? Thanx

Two module ideas
by Nancy Wichmann 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Okay, in keeping with recent sentiments expressed on this list, here are two module ideas: 1. Longer site slogan - My current customer wanted a slogan longer than 128 characters (yes, there is a good reason). Rather than doing a simple core hack, I wrote a simple little module that uses hook_form_alter() to change it. I actually already have this done; it's just so simple that I can't see contributing it as a separate module. Since I am a maintainer on both Helpers and Util, I thought about them, but it really doesn't fit either very well. I'm sure there is at least one other Drupaller who will need this some time or another, so I'd like to find a better place 2. This customer wants drop down menu tabs and the theme's Suckerfish menus work fine for this. However, they would prefer that the menu tab not point to the first page in the menu tree. In searching DO, I didn't like any solution to the "menu no-link" problem. What I would prefer, and am prepared to start writing, is a little module that provides a page (not a block) that shows the tree structure of that menu item (title and description). Before I spend too much time, does anyone do this already or know of a module I didn't find? Nancy E.

development with scalability in mind
by Ashraf Amayreh 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello All, Following the thread on the CDN, and knowing that soon I'll be working on a site with nearly 7 million users per month and a database nearly 20 GBs in size. I'd like to ask the gurus out there for technologies/modules within Drupal or in the LAMP architecture aimed at huge load sites, I want to try to avoid the problem of "early implementation" which may make some of these technologies unfeasible or hard to implement in the future if not thought out before. I know about memcache (which I haven't tried yet) and CDN. I know about load balancing (in theory as I haven't needed it yet), and I know that you can also make your server more powerful with more hardware. I personally have tuned servers to squeeze every last bit of performance, but that falls short of what happens when you reach a certain level when squeezing a server just doesn't cut it. What else can you pitch in? Comments? Recommendation? Thoughts? Regards, AA

Wierd menu problem
by Nancy Wichmann 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Can someone explain why the first menu item does not work, but the second one does? function simple_menu_menu() { $items = array(); $items['simple_menu'] = array( 'page callback' => '_simple_menu_view', 'access callback' => TRUE, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, ); $items['_menu_view'] = array( 'page callback' => '_simple_menu_view', 'access callback' => TRUE, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, ); return $items; } Nancy E.

Re: [development] Weird Javascript behavior after form_set_error on Drupal forms
by Scott Reynolds 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

This is because on form error the form comes out of the cache table and skips fetching the form and all its _alter's. The 'best' practice I have found is to use a #pre_render function to drupal_add_js(). pre_render's are called always. <?php function my_form_alter() { // add my elements $form['#pre_render'][] = 'my_load_js'; } ?> <?php function my_load_js($form) { drupal_add_js(); return $form; } ?> -- Scott Reynolds
