Let me explain the structure I want. I have the content type PRODUCT which has cck fields ProductCode and ProductName. I have 2nd content type ORDERS with feilds Quantity. When I create nodes of type ORDERS, i want the product code to be present in the ORDERS node and when I click on to it, it has to show me the node created with that product code of type PRODUCT. Eg: PRODUCT node 1stNode is created with product code P001 and productname AMLA I create ORDERS node 1stOrder,with quantity. This node should have P001 displayed which will link to the node 1stNode when clicked

Help For Project Access Project
by Steve Edwards 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Last year, I was requested by scor and dww to finish a project (project_access) I had started on a few years ago (and later merged with a project started by Ken Rickard) that would grant user level permissions to Project nodes, with the goal that the module would be used on s.d.o. I made a lot of progress last spring and summer, but since then have been unable to make any more progress due to time constraints. greggles and dww et al would really like to have this finished very soon so it can be utilized, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like I will have the time to devote to finish this module that I had anticipated I would have. Therefore, I am looking for someone else who is familiar with the node access functionality that can help finish this project. The module is at http://drupal.org/project/project_access, and the issue at http://drupal.org/node/785546 outlines what I've done and what still needs to be completed. If you're interested, reply via email and I'll give you more details and answer any questions. Thanks. Steve

Scheduled downtime for Druplicon IRC bot tonight
by Morbus Iff 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

As an FYI, Druplicon will be taking a little nap tonight: I’ll be attempting to move him to a new Linode server with his own Drupal 7 install (!; yes, bot.module has been initially ported to D7 and this’ll test it out further). This’ll involve some decently heavy database migrations (4 million log lines, etc., etc.). I don’t really foresee any problems, but there’s always the unknown (i.e., I’ve tested D7 bot.module already, but not with an install as big as Druplicon’s, I’ve never deployed on Linode before and this is a new server as of today, etc., etc.). -- Morbus Iff ( take your rosaries off my ovaries ) http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.disobey.com/wiki/ twitter: @morbusiff / skype: morbusiff / irc.freenode.net, Morbus An O'Reilly author and blogger: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779

The age-old modues admin question
by nan wich 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

"Executed 908 queries in 276.55 milliseconds. Queries taking longer than 5 ms and queries executed more than once, are highlighted. Page execution time was 86939.86 ms." While the query count is enormous, Devel is kind of pointing the finger at PHP. This is not the fastest laptop available (but it was supplied by the company). Is there anything that can be done to speed this up? If I update anything on the page, we're talking a three minute round-trip here; my memory is not that long.

Views tests
by Karen Stevenson 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

I have been trying to add more tests to the Date module and one thing that is really needed are tests that the Views integration is working. I see that the D7 version of Views has lots of tests but can't see any way I can use that to test my custom default views and my views plugins and handlers. I don't want to re-invent all the stuff that is already done but I don't know if there is any way to re-use any of it. I don't have time to figure this all out right now, but would love to know if there is a way to do this. I would also love it if someone who *does* know how to do it would like to create some tests (which could then also be examples for other modules that want to add test coverage for their Views handlers and plugins).

whats the best way to have tabbed panes in drupal 6.x and 7.x
by Kamal Palei 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi All I have very limited knowledge on Drupal. I have installed Drupal 6.x, I have made the front page. Once user logs in, it lands in my login destination panel page (configured usning login destination module). I want in my login destination page, I should have around 3 tabbed panes. I downloaded quicktabs module, using quicktabs module created a block (having 3 tabs). Added the block to login destination panel page. I am able to see the tabbed panes as expected. Now please clarify --------------------------------------------- 1. Is this the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 6.x ? Here I face a minor problem. I am using CTI-Flex theme (a zen sub-theme), I have configured different colors for header, footer, background etc (I have installed color picker module). The login destination page (that has tabs), looks bit odd, it does not have the configured colors for header, footer and background. So my front page headr/footer/background color, login destination page headr/footer/background color are entirely different. Any idea what needs to be done. 2. What is the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 7.x, as my plan is there to upgrade to Drupal 7.x 3. Will quicktabs work with Drupal 7.x Regards Kamal On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 9:51 AM, Marty Landman <mlandman(a)face2interface.com>wrote: > Yeah I was afraid of that.
