Having an interesting problem, which I'm thinking is related to some internal security feature regarding the invoking of admin pages. A site I'm working on can have two different incoming URL's. If one, a certain banner should be used, if another, then another. The initial problem was that there's a cart, and certain pages are SSL, and the securepages module can't handle two possible SSL URL's. There's a SSL certificate for both. But when switching to https:, the correct one needs to be requested, otherwise the browser reports a problem with the certificate. So, the way I handled it was to hook_init before securepages becomes involved, and check the requested URL, and if it's the second, I simply overwrite securepage's variable entry with a variable_set with the new url. Works like a charm. Except... admin. I have securepages set to work with admin as well, but when I request an admin page, the logic in hook_init that should variable_set the url back to the normal domain doesn't seem to fire, because I'll have put http://mydomain.com/admin and it will invoke https://mydomain.com/admin but the variable setting will still be https://myotherdomain.com, so I get the certificate message.

Never mind. It turned out to be a dual problem with two ssl certificates not being allowed on one IP (so they turned one off without mentioning it), and a bug in securepages.

D7: Fieldable Entities
by Josh Miller 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Did anyone know that blocks are not *yet* fieldable? http://drupal.org/node/430886 Catch said this should be a release blocker because of the dashboard. I think it would be a crime to ALMOST have a filefield work on a block just to find out it won't. I mean, come on, taxonomy terms are fieldable.

Color.module -- How do I find the CSS id's and classes used to dipslay the preview.png?
by Holly Ferree 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Please email answers/suggestions to hferree(a)gmail.com since I don't know the time required for the mailing list email to activate. Thanks, Holly ------------------------------------------------------ Hello all, I sent this to the themes group and didn't get any repsonses, so I'm sending it here hoping that someone might know the answer since it is more of a coding question. :) Does anyone know where I can find a list of the id's and classes used in preview.css to display the preview.png as an exact small replica? I need to find the classes for the top header and the bottom header. I have not found any documentation specifying the id's and classes that can be used when styling areas in the preview.png, and am out of possible names they could be. I've even looked at other themes that use the color module and have not had success. I've read the color.module and it's css file and no luck. The book page on drupal is helpful for creating the color.inc and the base.png but misses the preview.png information. If a solution does exist I plan on adding a comment to the page with the solution. My theme colorizes perfectly so the what I thought as the hard part works. Background: I decided to learn more and create my own theme that integrates the color.module. I have everything working and the colors switch to mercury, ash, etc. without any trouble. :o) (very happy that it works) But I am having difficulty with the preview.png showing correctly. It wants to combine the top header color and the bottom header color in a gradient, that is not used in my theme. And I figure that since the colors display properly when a different theme color set is chosen, it would be nice for the preview.png to show the user an exact preview before they select their new color set. My theme uses the top header (with brown) and the bottom header (with blue). There is no gradient used, so I want it to reflect that in the preview.png. Issue: Need the know the css tag for displaying the top header and the bottom header colors. I have it semi working for the top 16px -- it shows the base color if I use the css pasted below (but I want the top header color, since that is the actual color it will be). The bottom header area that is 48px high wants to display the gradient (top header and bottom header...all I want is the bottom header color). Does anyone know the correct css to insert so that it doesn't use the gradient but uses the bottom header color? Thanks in advance, Holly Ferree ---------------------- Preview.css: (the top:17px allows the top header color to display perfectly :D. However the height: 48px displays the gradient which I would like it to display the bottom header color but I don't know the correct css tag. I've tried changing #gradient to #bottom, #header, #headerbottom, and #header-bottom, but no luck for either) #preview #gradient { <-- what should I put here? #preview #_______? position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0; top: 17px; <-- this space gives the top header the base color height: 48px; <-- since the name is #gradient, this puts a gradient below the top header z-index: 2; } ******************************* Color.inc: fill' => array( 'base' => array(0, 74, 900, 426), 'top' => array(0, 0, 900, 17), 'bottom' => array(0, 17, 900, 48), ), Example of the preview.png layout using Belgian Chocolate theme: ------------------------------------------ Top header, dark brown, #6c420e, height: 17px ------------------------------------------ Bottom Header, red, #971702, height: 48px; ------------------------------------------ THIS AREA IS DISPLAYING PERFECTLY Content Area base color, tan #d5b048 height: auto; Link color: dark brown #6c420e Text color: dark red, #494949 ------------------------------------------

GPL 2 violation by integrationservic.es
by Alex Barth 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

This may have come up before, but http://integrationservic.es/ drupal.php launched on Nov 12 and appears to be violating drupal's GPL2 by charging 33 $ for a module download: http://drupal.org/node/229996#comment-2210628 http://integrationservic.es/drupal.php http://twitter.com/cc_php/status/5654452582 Is this a) A violation of of drupal's GPL 2? (In my understanding very clearly so) b) What are the proper steps to be taken to get this code taken down or published? Alex Barth http://www.developmentseed.org/blog tel (202) 250-3633

Drupal Folder Structure
by Josh Miller 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Is there anyone else worried that the Drupal folder structure encourages users to drop modules or themes into the wrong place? Wouldn't you like to have a folder structure that separates core from the rest of the customizable sites folder? As this issue could blow up in the issue que (http://drupal.org/node/22336) perhaps a short discourse on the mailing list is in order. It's weird that we all care so much about coding standards and yet we let our folder structure look so thrown together. Perhaps I'm wrong. I have feeling the real reason we are putting up with such a confusing structure is that moving files can introduce a big wtf and some might think we should leave it well enough alone. On the other hand, I believe it's broken and not at all grokable for 100% of the newbies. For fun, here is D7's folder structure as it stands from drupal.org project packager (not cvs) five minutes ago: includes/ misc/ modules/ profiles/ scripts/ sites/ themes/ .htaccess CHANGELOG.txt COPYRIGHT.txt INSTALL.mysql.txt INSTALL.pgsql.txt INSTALL.txt LICENSE.txt MAINTAINERS.txt UPGRADE.txt authorize.php cron.php index.php install.php robots.txt update.php xmlrpc.php Thoughts and comments are very much appreciated and encouraged.

Content Specific Modules for Small Constituencies, Are they Kosher?
by Shai Gluskin 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

I'm thinking of creating a very simple module. All it would do is install a particular vocabulary on your site which has about 50 terms (I'll give the specific example further below). So I went to the modules directory and looked through the taxonomy category... looked at all 228 modules, and didn't find one which installed terms from a specific knowledge realm. I expected there to be some taxonomies from the realms of biology or other sciences; nothing. Thinking outside of "taxonomy" I remembered the weather module, which has 500K of data listing standard weather stations worldwide. And then the location module which has about 2mb of specific data on places. Now to my example... Jews study portions of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) on a set calendar. The Torah is broken into 54 set portions; each of those portions has a name. It's traditional for clergy and lay leaders to give sermons or teachings related to the current portion of the week. For sites that post material relevant to the Torah portion, being able to easily install such a vocabulary populated with all the terms would be a nice convenience for them. My rough estimate is that there are about 50 synagogues currently using Drupal and probably another 150 Jewish organizations. The number is growing quickly, yet this is still a small number. So my question is... does the Drupal modules repository welcome such a targeted module with a small potential user-group with content that is specific and contains no generalizable functionality? My assumption had "yes." But seeing that others haven't created similar modules for specific vocabularies... makes me wonder. What say you? > > Shai
