strange beavhior after node import
by luca capra 12 Aug '10

Hi all, I've built a simple parser to import downloaded webpages with attchments as drupal (6) node. It's called with hook_cron() and works the most of the times. But, some nodes get correctly saved in db tables node, node_revisions, and other cck tables but if I try to see them in the browser, as example, www.domain.tld/node/1700 I get a 404 error. I know those nodes get error, because there isn't any attachment (and no reference in files nor upload table). To import nodes I do: (ini_set-ted memory_limit and timeout to proper value) 1 save the file attachment with drupal_write_record('files', $file) 2 node_save with a custom populated array, and the file objects from 1 3 drupal_write_record('upload', $fileinfo, 'fid') to update the description that sometimes result empty I've put a lot of watchdog() everywhere, but nothing. If I run from drush or "by hand" It seems to works... Can somebody give me some hint? Thanks in advance. Luca

Re: [development] D6 Content Migration to another D6 Installation

You may also look into exposing your content as RSS or ATOM and using one of the RSS modules such as the aggregation, feedAPI or feeds modules to import it into nodes. The aggregation module in particular allows you to import from custom XML formats files with some minor coding work.

What I did for a site was write a simple program to create a CSV file, but then the migration was from d5 to d6 with the content types massively changed. For the images it was just a matter of a really big FTP transfer, which I did from a putty session to get the best bandwidth possible. hth, Marty

D6 Content Migration to another D6 Installation
by Phil Glanville 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi all. We are struggling here with Drupal migration. We have two installations and would like to migrate *all* content (nodes and uploaded images) from one to the other. Just content not settings. Both installs have the same Modules present. We've looked in to "Migrate" which seems overkill (in terms of customisation and setup) and have researched "Node Export" and "Node Import" (neither or which seem to be a complete solution). "Transformations" sounds good but again seems to be more code based rather than GUI. Is there an easier / more logical way? For instance, would it (in theory) be possible to copy just 'node' or content specific db tables without causing serious problems? Thanks for any help, Phil. Printing this email?

modifying the output of blocks
by Ashraf Amayreh 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hello all, Is there a way I can alter the output of other modules' blocks from my own module? This would be similar to the nodeapi hook on $op = "view" If this doesn't work, then I would like to at least detect weather a block has been rendered on the current page to decide weather to emit javascript related to that block. Otherwise I would have to add the javascript on all pages needlessly.

"Sudo" Module
by James Benstead 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I'm very interested in UI design, and mapping the design of Drupal admin interfaces to pre-existing, long-standing frameworks. I'm currently looking for a module that allows a "site manager" to quickly switch to and from the root user of a D6 site - in my mind's eye this module displays a block with a password field and a submit button; entering the root password and hitting the button is broadly equivalent to "sudo su" in Unix. Once the user has root privileges, a click on the "step down" button in the same block returns them to their saved regular session. My question: does a module exists that does this, or gets close to this? Or is it possible to cobble together this functionality by using existing functionality in already-existing D6 modules? Thanks, --Jim -- My IM and Skype details are at http://state68.com/contact

Referencing imagecache
by Jeff Greenberg 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I need to include an imagecache preset of an image in a form that is being created in a module.The image is a cck imagefield. There are two array elements in the cck information in the node containing name information. 'filename' is incorrect, because it lacks the _0 suffix that was appended to the physical file. 'filepath' contains the correct file name, but would require me manipulating the path to insert the imagecache path. I can do that, but wonder if I'm missing a more streamlined method.

Showing SWF file in content
by Aldo Martinez Selleras 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I'm working on a draft of postcards sent between users of the site and notices to each party for each shipment or read receipt, but now they ask me when viewing the content,, do not load the image, but an SWF file . I've added with FielField the form to load the SWF at the time of the creation of content to send, but do not know how to make it appear when viewing this, because CCK generate it as an image. I can give some suggestion about it? thanks in advance

[Fwd: Polls redirecting to view page instead of node page]
by Lee Rowlands 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi Idan You need an implementation of hook_form_alter for the poll form's form_id that adds a #redirect property. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.htm… You may need to compete with views on this property (especially if the view has an exposed form) so your module might need a lower system weight than views Lee -------- Forwarded Message -------- > From: Idan Arbel <idan(a)arbel-designs.com> > Reply-to: development(a)drupal.org > To: development(a)drupal.org > Subject: [development] Polls redirecting to view page instead of node > page > Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2010 01:53:58 +0300 > > > Hello, > > > > I have a view with a bunch of poles being displayed (using the poll > module). > > The problem is that after submiting a poll (via the views page) the > page refreshes and stays on the view page.

Drupal 7 API Change notification: Search/fields/CSS&JS Aggregation
by Randy Fay 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

*We try to notify this list when API changes are made in Drupal 7, so contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken. * 1. *Search API Changes: *in (issue <http://drupal.org/node/567100>) a number of search changes were made. The signatures of the *search_data*() and *search_view*() functions were changed. 2. *hook_fields_extra_fields() changed*: (issue<http://drupal.org/node/870292>) If your module implements hook_field_extra_fields() and the return values can vary depending on external conditions (module settings, whatever), you need to call field_info_cache_clear() whenever the conditions changes. 3. *JS and CSS preprocess changed to FALSE*: (issue<http://drupal.org/node/769226>): Where Drupal 7 modules have been using drupal_add_css() or drupal_add_js(), the default was previously to aggregate/preprocess the added file. This has been changed to *not* aggregate by default. -Randy -- > Randy Fay > Drupal Module and Site Development > randy(a)randyfay.com > +1 970.462.7450 > > -- Randy Fay Drupal Module and Site Development randy(a)randyfay.com +1 970.462.7450
