Drupal Menu Hiding
by Nitesh Bhatia 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hi I am new to drupal7 and unaccustomed to the User Interface elements so I am finding it a bit difficult to search about the problem I am facing. I've created a new custom content type by going to Structure>Content Types. Its basically a form along with image upload fields. Whatever user inputs I wanted it to automatically appear in the form of menu item. I installed auto_menutitle module in order to automatically copy content title as link title. Now in the bottom of this form a rectangular division comes with "Menu settings" written i left and some settings division in right ( http://twitpic.com/59924o) I want to hide this division from user without removing the access permissions. In order to hide if I am removing the access permissions of user then this menu is not appearing but its also disabling automatic menu item entry. I would like to know if its possible to simply hide this part on user side? Thanks and Regards Nitesh -- Nitesh Bhatia "Life is never perfect.

Is there any way that drupal can 'know' that a given request has come from a mobile phone so that my module can return a page using a different theme template? -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------

Has anyone come across a good way to convert an HTML unordered list into an $items array that would then be suitable for passing to theme_item_list()? -- ~Jerad Bitner Lead Developer and Drupal Trainer at Lullabot www.lullabot.com lbt.me/sirkitree

Saving to database
by Tolga 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi, I have the below code, and it doesn't quite do what I want. function tcmb_settings_form_submit($form, $form_state) { variable_set('tcmb_currency', $form_state['values']['tcmb_currency']); $sql = "INSERT INTO {tcmb} (currency) VALUES('".$form_state['values']['tcmb_currency']."')"; return db_query($sql); } According to a Lullabot video I watched, the variable_set function should set the posted value to variables table, and the field should stay with the correct value in it, but it automatically goes back to the first value. Also, stupid question but how do you save to database. The above code always saves a 0. I'm specifying my field like below: function tcmb_settings_form() { $form = array(); $form['tcmb_currency'] = array( '#title' => t('Input the currency code for the rates'), '#value' => 'currency', '#type' => 'select', '#options' => array('0' => 'USD', '1' => 'CAD', '2' => 'XDR', '3' => 'DKK', '4' => 'SEK', '5' => 'CHF', '6' => 'NOK', '7' => 'JPY', '8' => 'SAR', '9' => 'KWD', '10' => 'AUD', '11' => 'EUR', '12' => 'GBP', '13' => 'RUB', '14' => 'RON', '15' => 'IRR', '16' => 'BGN', '17' => 'DEM', '18' => 'BEF', '19' => 'LUF', '20' => 'ESP', '21' => 'FRF', '22' => 'IEP', '23' => 'ITL', '24' => 'NLG', '25' => 'ATS', '26' => 'PTE', '27' => 'FIM', '28' => 'GRD'), ); $form['submit'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Submit'), ); if (empty($form_state['storage']['new_tcmb_currency'])) { $form['tcmb_new_tcmb_currency'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Add another currency'), '#validate' => array('tcmb_settings_form_validate'), ); } return $form; } If you could help me with the above, I'd appreciate a lot. Thanks, Tolga

User registration email
by Jeff Hartman 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

A client I am working for asked to have a special landing page set up for user registration for an event. The registration form uses user_register to create a Drupal account (using Drupal 6). Form works great, creates account and logs people in upon account creation. How do I go about creating and sending a custom email that includes the new account username and auto-generated password? Do I need to create my own user_register_submit function to override the current (seems redundant) or is there a simpler way? Jeff

Demystifying $view->exposed_data
by Dipen 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi, I am badly stuck at this one, I am trying to convert a cron function to batched drush execution to overcome memory limits etc. I could have gone for queued cron execution but in my initial assessment I found batched drush execution simpler. Anyways, I am using views_savedsearches to allow my users to keep a tab on their exposed filters, since the data keeps coming in for their criteria I am also using notifications_views_savedsearches (which comes in the same package) to notify them if they have subscribed to their saved searches. So All is good except the amount of content is huge for hook_cron of notifications_views_savedsearches to process without memory errors which prompted me to convert it into batched drush execution. So I got to a good start and quickly deconstructed (almost) the notifications_views_savedsearches_cron implementation into batch process to be run by drush. Everything is fine, except that $view->execute() doesn't return any result for my implementation but does yield results in the original implementation. This is the place I am stuck, few things to note here: 1> $view Object just before calling $view->execute() is exactly same for both implementations ( old cron and new batch worker process ), I ran a diff couple of times. Please note that both functions have practically same code except that I had to write couple of extra function to make batch work. 2> On further investigation found out that query and count query are same too but args are different. Am I wrong to assume that calling execute() on two identical view objects can lead to different results? Atleast thats what I am experiencing? (There is no additional processing on the view object, they are exactly same before execute() is called on them) On further investigation found out that the view object of my batch worker process has $this->exposed_data empty and thats the reason for args to be malformed and for query to returning empty result. I haven't been able to find out much on why is exposed_data set in one view and not in other when they were identical before calling execute() on them, looking at call stack, I found out much of the query building and pre processing is done in $this->build and $this->_build($key) and thats where $this->exposed_data is bailing out on me. Some of the debugged Arrays: $args for the cron function (the one thats working) - Array ( [0] => drealty_property [1] => 0 [2] => 100000000 [3] => 0 [4] => 0 [5] => 39 ) $this->exposed_data returns a healthy array One thats not working ( my batched execution $args) : Array ( [0] => drealty_property [1] => [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => [6] => ) $this->exposed_data doesn't return anything. Code of both functions is almost same and the $view object just prior to $view->execute() is exactly identical. Has anyone faced anything similar? Could it be due to the batch API? I am using drush_backend_batch_process() to process my batch. Everything else is working except that my batch process doesn't have anything in $view->result. I haven't been able to find where does $this->exposed_data get set. Crux of code for both function is: $vs = views_savedsearches_load($subscription['sid']); // Retrieving exposed filter setting for the subscriber using helper function of views_savedsearches $view_name = db_result(db_query("SELECT name FROM {views_view} WHERE vid = %d", $vs->vid)); $view = views_get_view($view_name); if (is_object($view) && is_object($vs)) { if ($view instanceof view) { // Apply $vs->filters $view->set_exposed_input($vs->filters); // The original code limits this value to 10 which is not much useful as new data at any point of time is anytime more than 10 $view->pager['items_per_page'] = 0; // Run the query // $view at this point in both functions is exactly same ( did a diff ) $view->execute('default'); $view->result is empty for my batch process but has values for the old cron function. I am pretty sure(?), that I am not making a silly variable in scope mistake.

Regarding emails you may have received from me earlier today
by Samuel Rose 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Dear friend, You may have received an email from me that stated I was in London and needed help. This email was in fact from a person that temporarily gained access to my email account and sent out these messages, attempting to impersonate me. Please know that I am not in trouble, and am in Michigan with my wife waiting for our son to be born. And know that I would never solicit you with requests for help like this, as I have family and friends that I can contact if I were really in trouble. I have resolved this compromise on my email this evening, and have fully regained control of my email and other resources. Thank you to those people who tried to alert me to this problem. -- -- Sam Rose Hollymead Capital Partners, LLC Cel: +1-(517)-974-6451 email: samuel.rose(a)gmail.com "The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." - Carl Sagan
