re-arranging mutlivalue fields
by Bruno De Bondt 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi, I have two CCK multivalue fields (a nodereference field and a textfield), both with a set amount of maximum values. My goal is to build a form that lists these fields as 'nodereference + textfield' groups, in order to simplify user input. This doesn't seem to be so easy to do with form_alter(), since a multivalue field is an array of its own, so re-ordering the fields seems tricky. Does anyone have ideas on how to approach this? thanks, - bruno

Force admin login
by Tomáš Fülöpp (vacilando.org) 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi, Is there a backdoor way to force admin login if everything fails? Something like the way $update_free_access is changed to TRUE to allow running update.php....? A client got locked out of D6.15 completely, including admin. Login seems to work (I see admin only links on logon), cookies are set, but only on the initial page.... any subsequent click is treated as done by an anonymous user (checked the watchdog this way). I've cleared all browser caches, Drupal caches via the db, also the Drupal sessions table, checked the cookie domain, the admin user record exists in the user table, etc. in settings.php, deleted and re-uploaded D6.15. Nothing in the php logs. Nothing unusual in watchdog - just access denied by anonymous... Spent an equivalent of a day on this but I know there is a ton of things I can still try - e.g. rebuild access rights. But I do need to log in first, only by myself. So... is there a way to force admin login? Cannot find this info anywhere. Thanks! Tomáš

Re: [development] mod rewrite rules question

Afraid not, adding an [L] didn't do any good. I'm still getting an internal server error that I'm presuming is caused by applying the rule indefinitely to the rewritten result. Is this the normal behavior of .htaccess files? I'm pasting the full content of the .htaccess file on the site root: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*).example.com RewriteRule (.*) ${tryme:%1}/$1 [L] I'm very sure the application is working properly because I can run it standalone and it works fine (returns either NULL or key followed by newline). -- Best Regards, Ashraf Amayreh CEO | O-Minds Cell. 962 78 8099997 Tel. 962 6 5655150 Fax. 962 6 5675150 o-minds.com web development | web design user experience | branding design

Node_loads can fail if the user doesn't exist in the users table. Node_load does a INNER JOIN users ON u.uid = n.uid. That will fail if the users.uid doesn't exist anymore (i.e. user is deleted by hand). Don't know if that is the case for you but something along those lines maybe. The node access rebuild can be a little sensitive: http://drupal.org/node/478946 > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 11:22:53 +0100 > From: Llu?s <enboig(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [development] ghost nodes > To: Drupal Development <development(a)drupal.org> > Message-ID: > <45a29f451003030222j13023250ta2284b2a16a8eed2(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > I am developing an access module and when rebuilding my node_access > table some nodes don't get rebuild.

ghost nodes
by Lluís 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I am developing an access module and when rebuilding my node_access table some nodes don't get rebuild. I don't know the cause but when trying to analyse them with devel access node module I have discovered that some of them are valid and some other show me the "page not found" message. So all of this have raised me 2 questions: - ghost nodes: why nodes which are in {node} and {node_revisions} show me a "page not found" message; is there any other table? how can I track this? - Why some nodes which get correct $grants when displaying them; don't get them saved when rebuilding permission table? Any hint is welcome. I ask both things together because I think they may be related as I am working with custom nodes hardcoded by myself. -- *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.

Custom user data tab not displayed with hook_user
by Steve Edwards 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I took over a site that has custom user data stored in a separate table, and I would like to display those fields in a separate tab in the user profile. I figured I could just write a page and form function, but I'd like to integrate it with user data. I have the following hook_user implementation: function hsi_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) { switch ($op) { case 'categories': $data[] = array( 'name' => 'hsi_demo', 'title' => 'Demographics', 'weight' => 3, 'access callback' => TRUE, ); return $data; case 'form': $data = db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT bday, gender, nation, religion, heard FROM hsi_demo WHERE uid = %d", $account->uid)); $countries = _hsi_countries(); $fields['hsi_demo']['bday'] = array( '#type' => 'date', '#title' => 'Birth Date', '#default_value' => isset($edit[$field->name]) ? $edit[$field->name] : '', '#required' => TRUE, ); $fields['hsi_demo']['gender'] = array( '#type' => 'select', '#title' => 'Gender', '#options' => array('m' => 'Male', 'f' => 'Female'), '#default_value' => $data->gender, ); $fields['hsi_demo']['nation'] = array( '#type' => 'select', '#title' => 'Country', '#options' => $countries, '#default_value' => $data->nation, ); $fields['hsi_demo']['denomination'] = array( '#type' => 'select', '#title' => 'Denomination', '#options' => $countries, '#default_value' => $data->denomination, '#options' => $denominations, ); return $fields; } } The problem is, I don't get my Demographics tab displayed. Do I also need a hook_menu entry for this path (i.e. user/%user/edit/hsi_demo)? What else am I missing? Thanks. Steve

mod rewrite rules question
by Ashraf Amayreh 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello all, If this is not the right place for this question I appreciate if someone points me to some resources or mailing lists where I can ask. I have a couple of rewrite rules that simply refuse to work. Without too much noise, I'll post them here: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^apps.example.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*).example.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${res:%1}/$1 [QSA] The logic here is: 1. make sure the URL does not start with apps 2. isolate the first part of the URL and send it to an external app: The external app either returns "members/<subdomain>" or nothing. The alternative return values in the app are: print "\n"; OR print "members/{$subdomain}\n"; 3. That's it. The idea is that if I provide a subdomain such as: - abc.example.com, I want it to pass through unchanged - def.example.com should be rewritten to def.example.com/members/def Am I doing something wrong here? Debugging rewrite rules seems to be something next to impossible so I'm left without many alternatives than to ask someone more knowledgeable than me. -- Best Regards, Ashraf Amayreh CEO | O-Minds Cell. 962 78 8099997 Tel. 962 6 5655150 Fax. 962 6 5675150 o-minds.com web development | web design user experience | branding design

Custom directory Image Cache
by Dayton Perkins 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Just wondering if any of you can point me to a solution: I would like to create per user upload directories perhaps name them by uid, and use image cache to create name spaces as usual. I have poked around Google some, but was wondering if any of you have experience with this. Thanks so much. -- /Kindest regards,/ *Dayton Perkins* Good News Design Intelligent Web Programming for Business 3611 Butternut Drive, Suite 40 Holland MI 49424 616-399-5617 http://goodnewsdesign.com Signature <http://goodnewsdesign.com>

Drupal splash module
by Gastón Pablo Pérez 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi list: I've installed the module splash in a Drupal 6 site to show a page as presentation in this site, in according to the module configuration I've indicated the section "WATH" a page with the absolute URL like http://www.mysite.com/splash.html and I've selected the option "display entered text/HTML full screen" option, but when I activate the splash I try the page and I only view the link in the browser, if i press this link then it retrieves the splash page, I mean i can't see the splash screen when I call the site directly. Other thing is that if I deactivate the splash in the module configuration, in firefox it still working but not in internet explorer. somebody knows some about this? thanks in advance Gastón Pablo Perez Email: gpperez(a)gmail.com Web: http://cv.gpperez.com.ar
