Hello, I have a form: function contactlistcreate() { $form = array(); $form['listname'] = array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t('Create new list'), '#tree' => TRUE, ); $form['listname']['list_name'] = array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('List name'), '#size' => 30, '#maxlength' => 64, '#description' => t('Enter the list name'), '#default_value' => 'dddodododod', ); $form['listname']['description'] = array( '#type' => 'textarea', '#title' => t('Describe it'), '#cols' => 60, '#rows' => 5, '#description' => t('List description.'), ); $form['listname']['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Save')); return $form; } and submit function: function contactlistcreate_submit($form_id, $form_values) { db_query( "INSERT INTO {contactsliststable} (contacts_list_name, contacts_list_description) VALUES ('%s', '%s')", $form_values['list_name'], $form_values['description']); drupal_set_message(t('Your list has been saved.')); } But it inserts only empty values to database table and throw no errors..

Hi there. An issue was created about supporting [indent] tags in the bbcode module. Since I was also requiring it, I've created patches for it. All those needing this may patch their bbcode installation or wait till it is ported to the next release.

Re: [development] Multiple search blocks doing different searches.
by Anth 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Well I want to use the indexed search that is already available, but have several variations of the search (8 to be exact, one for every Australian state and one "National" one which would be the base unmodified search). For this reason I don't think it's views that I want as, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the views exposed filters work only on the column that the filter is defined for? I get the feeling that I'm going to have to write 8 separate forms and call the current search functions in each one, modifying the SQL each time. Which is fine, just thought there might be a smarter way to do it.

howto views filter null timestamps
by Lluís 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

I have coded a content-type and I want to filter it using views. I have to check if a timestamp field is 0 or NULL (I can change de coding). Is there any way of doing so? My field views definition is: $data['node_mynodetype']['first_read'] = array( 'real field' => 'first_read', 'title' => 'First time the node was read', 'help' => '.', 'field' => array( 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_date', 'allow empty' => TRUE, 'click sortable' => TRUE, ), 'sort' => array( 'handler' => 'views_handler_sort_date', ), 'filter' => array( 'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_date', ), ); 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.

Form with 3 payment options
by Holly Ferree 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hello all, I have an event registration form to set up. I like using webforms (have drupal 6 site). I need to know how to add payment type. Each registration is either $40 for individuals or $50 for family (so I have two different amounts). And the three payment options the client wants is: 1) I will bring Check or Cash to registration 2) online via Paypal 3) I will mail a check ----- Also in the form, I need the name and age of a child (for the daycare for the event) and would like to put that on the same line so it would be: Child's name:________________ Age:____ I figure having one child's info per line is easier to understand than: 1st Child's name: 1st Child's age: 2nd Child's name: Etc. To put it on one line, should I create a form_name.tpl.php with the appropriate field info to insert stuff where I want it or is there a better way to do it? Or should I do Child 1 in a fieldset with the 2 fields and then child 2 in another fieldset, etc. (that seems to be the easiest way for drupal and just as easy to understand as the same line option) Just wondering what is the best practices/way to go about the above. ----- I sent this to the consulting feed and the response was to do this with Ubercart and install content type/product and add attributes for the children. Just wondering if that's the right way to go. Thanks, Holly Ferree, Graphic Designer, BFA 813.786.0852 hferree(a)gmail.com http://www.designbyholly.com/ PS BTW the issue last week was solved by drupal_add_js (and I added jquery_update module as well). So thank you for all those that gave advice :) It worked and I'm very happy not to be limited anymore:)

Re: [development] multisite installation
by Ashraf Amayreh 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hey Jennifer, My apologies for the confusion, I am actually doing that. Let me try to re-explain. Under the sites folder I have: a.example.com b.example.com a.abc.com -> a.example.com b.abc.com -> b.example.com c.abc.-com -> a.example.com etc... With this configuration there's really no problem, when I visit the module listing section of a.abc.com I see the modules,themes listed under sites/ a.abc.com/modules, sites/a.abc.com/themes which is what I want. This is the correct behavior, except I need to create a symbolic link for every *.abc.com and these may number if the thousands. Alternatively, I could create one abc.com symbolic link to catch *.abc.com, inside it I can do a database lookup to know weather this should be pointing to a.example.com or b.example.com (all of these folders are inside sites of course) and conditionally change the connections string, filepath... but the problem is with the modules/themes. Drupal will look inside sites/ abc.com/modules and sites/abc.com/themes when I would actually want it to look inside sites/a.example.com/modules,themes when visiting a.abc.com and sites/b.example.com/modules,themes when visiting b.abc.com I hope this is clear enough this time. -- AA

Re: [development] multisite installation
by Ashraf Amayreh 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Ok, let me try to simplify it. Is there any way I can make Drupal list the modules/themes inside another location rather than the matched multisite folder? If I access abc.com (which matches abc.com in sites), can I make Drupal list the modules and themes inside some other location by specifying it in the settings.php for abc.com? -- AA

Theme subscription's links from notifications
by Salvatore De Paolis 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hi, i'd like to theme the links created by the notifications module, like subscribe to content, type, author, ecc. For doing that i'm try to hook the link_alter and overwrite the link in the way: global $user; $options = notifications_ui_subscribe_options($user, 'node', $user); $i = 0; foreach ($options as $index => $option) { $notify = 'notifications_' . $i; if ($option['type'] == 'thread') { $links[$notify]['title'] = "New title"; $links[$notify]['attributes']['title'] = "New attribute title"; } if ($option['type'] == 'nodetype') { $links[$notify]['title'] = "New title"; $links[$notify]['attributes']['title'] = "New attribute title"; } ... $i++; } I have two issues with this code. First, the notifications_ class is also used with the taxonomy module, and this means when i do this change the Tags is affected too. Second, $option['type'] == 'nodetype' would match all types (profile, group, ecc) and I can't really switch from that. Anyone know a better way or some more info to make this code to work? Thanks in advance Sal

Security Question about session handling
by Ernst Plüss 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hi drupal friends I've written a patch for the ip_login module. It extends the module with the possiblity to have a "login as an other user" link. Basically it does the following things: 1. Logs out the current user. 2. Makes sure ip_login does not straight login again. 3. Shows the user login screen. My code works, but I'm not 100% sure whether it's save to code it like that. Could someone have an I on it? /** * Logs the current user out and start new session. * * Most of the code taken from user_logout() and _drupal_bootstrap(). */ function ip_login_as_different_user() { *global* *$*user; watchdog('user', 'Session closed for %name.', *array*('%name' *=**>* *$* user*->*name)); // Destroy the current session: session_destroy(); // Only variables can be passed by reference workaround. *$*null *=* *NULL*; user_module_invoke('logout', *$*null, *$*user); // Load the anonymous user *$*user *=* drupal_anonymous_user(); require_once variable_get('session_inc', './includes/session.inc'); session_set_save_handler('sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read', ' sess_write', 'sess_destroy_sid', 'sess_gc'); session_start(); *$*_SESSION[LOGIN_AS_DIFFERENT_USER] *=* TRUE; // show the login page drupal_goto('user'); } Thanks for taking your time!
