Updating custom Views plugins for D8
by Christoph Burschka 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hey everyone, seeing as Views for D8 is now well on its way and appears to be mostly (or even fully) updated to the new core plugin system, it should theoretically be possible to update plugins written for Views 7.x-3.x to run on Views 8.x-3.x. The only problem is that I can find zero documentation on how to do that. This (http://blog.erdfisch.de/2012/09/hands-introduction-drupal-8-plugin-system) comes closest, but it only explains how to create an empty style plugin, not how to make it do the same stuff an existing D7 plugin does. Anything? Or am I way too early with this? Best regards, -Chris

Hello Everyone, I want to disable drupal core module 'comment' for my web portal. However, when I disable this module, the menu items (admin/content) gets removed from drupal backend. The 'admin/content' path of website becomes un-accessible. I have administrator rights and I tried to manipuate permissions (rebuild permissions etc). Any one has some idea if I am doing something wrong in this case? Best Regards, Rajat Arora

Small Job
by Lynn 14 May '13

14 May '13

I have a small job I need help with. If you can help, please provide an estimate. I need two rules set up in Drupal Commerce. One to calculate a discount based on a user purchasing 2 or more of the same item. The Discount will be a fixed $ amount for ever item greater than 1. The item involved has multiple SKUs that qualify for the discount. I need another rule to calculate another discount based the the purchase of two specific items together. The discount needs to be applied to every 'set' of two items. I also need these discounts to appear on the invoice sent to the user. The checkout process is anonymous only, and the checkout does not go through a payment gateway. Payment is collected after the order is placed. Let me know. Thanks, Lynn

Consultancy required for Drupa7 - SOLR search optimization
by Kamal Palei 02 May '13

02 May '13

Dear All My environment details are as below. OS - Cent OS 6.3 Drupal - 7.15 Apache SOLR - 3.6.2 It is a job site, and users keep adding their resumes and day by day the resume counts keep incrementing. I have around 3000 users now in my site. When users upload the resume, I create a node and add the resume as attachment. With this in next cron run, the node is indexed as well as document. I am able to search the document. So far so good. What I have observed recently, my search time is more. If I am searching with 4 or 5 key words, it is taking around 7 seconds to show the search result (I have only 3000 odd nodes in system with word document attachment). SOLR taking 7 seconds to search 3000 documents , does not sound good. I strongly believe I am doing something wrong. I need somebody help/assistance in this regard. I am ready to pay the consulting fee as well. Can somebody help me to reduce the search time. Best Regards Kamal Bangalore, India

Advice on module writing
by John Summerfield 01 May '13

01 May '13

I've had a look at the domain modules and organic groups and neither seems to do what I want. What I want is to create a domain/site structure like this: widgiemootha.example.org, wiluna.example.org, witchcliffe.example.org wagin.example.org wyalkatchem.example.org www.example.org birdiya.example.com Membership between all sites will be shared, but individuals might not actually be members of any particular site. Drupal's multisite allows sharing tables and so membership. As far as it goes, that is fine. Content associated with a site will only be visible at that site. A site's content at some paths, such as /About will override all others at that path. A site with nothing at /About _might_ inherit from birdiya, the boss site. On the other hand, /News might merge news from friends. Content shared with other sites will be visible at other sites. Aggegator is similar in content, but sharing will be explicit. One idea I have is to extend the node to have two more fields: owning site-id, and sharing attributes. I tried the domain modules, but when I was associated with two sites I got two /About menu items, and the implementation shared users behaved a little oddly: I want to switch back and forth between sites, maybe by choosing them from a list of links, and not to have any problems with sessions management or with access. The first question is, is it in order to modify the node table? I've googled and googled and not found an answer to that question.
