[drupal-support] Disable Filter Options?
by Kobus Myburgh 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hello, I have looked all over the settings in the admin interface, and I can't find what I am looking for. I want to disable the filter options. It seems I would have to delete the filters if I would want to disable them. I am not sure that is what I want to do. I want the users not to have this functionality, but me myself need it for administration purposes. Is there a known way to accomplish this? One that I might've missed in my searches? Regards and TIA, Kobus

[drupal-support] Workflow in 4.6.x?
by Todd Grimason 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi all- I don't see workflow.module in the main module list, and the specific project page only shows a 4.5.x release. I see in CVS one recent change was made, but I'm not sure if this is related to 4.6.x compat or what. So basically my question is, how would/do I find out the status of this? Just install the CVS version and see if it works? I searched the site and didn't get any clear answers on current status (and the site's getting hammered or something, it's real slow)... am I missing something obvious or has workflow quietly slipped away to plan for bigger and later versions? Would pulling the 4.5.x version and following the 'upgrading your moduless' steps at http://drupal.org/node/12347 be sensible? I'm surprised the basic ability for posts to have draft/published status isn't a huge issue for many people - even Movable Type has had this for years! That's all I'm needing at this point; fancy triggers and actions would be nice someday, but the basics would suffice. thanks for any help... -- ________________________________ toddgrimason*todd[ at ]slack.net

[drupal-support] Problems with ImageGallery and Postgres
by Torsten Flammiger 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Hello once more, i get an error (warning) from Drupal after adding the 1. gallery. In my postgres logfile it shows like this: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "" And Drupal reports: warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "" in /var/www/content/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 45. and on 2nd and 3rd line it says: user error: query: SELECT n.*, u.uid, u.name, u.picture, u.data FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON u.uid = n.uid WHERE n.nid = '' in /var/www/content/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 62. If i add more galleries the 2 errors are raised for each gallery i add. I use Drupal 4.6.3 and Postgres 7.4.1 on Debian Sarge the Gallery-modul has version 4.6.0 Oh, and by the way: Is there the ability to split up the galleries into submenues?: ---------- Images |_ Bike |_2004 |_2005 |_ Family |_... ---------- At this time it is only possible to arrange all under the main gallery: ( i dont like this) ---------------- |_ Images |_ Bike 2004 |_ Bike 2005 |_ Family |_ etc... ---------------- TIA Torsten

[drupal-support] Small OG hack
by Bill Fitzgerald 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Hello, Working with Organic Groups for a web site for a local youth agency. On the site, users can post into a few different forums -- each forum is defined as a term under the vocabulary of "Forums". Users can also see blog posts, and blog posts can be in one of three different terms. Currently in OG, when a user views the home page of their group, the columns that are shown are: Title, Author, Replies, Last reply. I would like to show: Title, Author, Term, Replies, Last Reply. I am not a programmer, but I have checked out the code of the OG module, and I have figured out the lines of code that need to be changed to add this feature. The lines that output the group home page are (I think) 1630-1645; the two lines that would require any change are 1633 and 1639. Line 1633 determines the top row of the table, and line 1639 prints out the posts specific to each group. If (and this is a big if) I have read things correctly, the info printed in line 1639 is supplied by the function |og_get_home_nodes_sql|, which is on lines 619-629. The key part of this function is the query on line 628: |return "SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.uid, u.name, n.created, l.comment_count, l.last_comment_timestamp FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {node_access} og_na ON n.nid = og_na.nid INNER JOIN {node_comment_statistics} l ON n.nid = l.nid INNER JOIN {users} u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE og_na.gid = %d AND og_na.realm = 'og_group' AND n.status=1 AND $where ORDER BY n.sticky DESC, l.last_comment_timestamp DESC";| Using the nid at the beginning of the query, I would like to query the term_node table to get any applicable terms for the node, and then query the term_data table to get the name of the term. In short, I have a pretty good idea of the mechanics of how to get this done, but I don't know *how* to do it. If I am way off base here, please tell me and I'll leave off. If this is in the ballpark, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Re: [drupal-support] CentOS 3 Enterprise Linux or Fedora Linux Core 3?

FC4 is definitely a better choice than FC3 >if you are going to >be working with the SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) extensions enabled >(generally a good idea for a server) I attempted the same transition and had to jump back down to FC3 (Fedra Core 3). Turns out that the gcc compiler on FC4 won't compile most things (it is much stricter), which is not good for a production machine. Also, while Drupal may function on PHP5, things like popular shopping carts, web chat systems, web-mail and web forums do *not* run on PHP5 yet (which is bundled in FC4). Even if you back-rev PHP and gcc, fixing all the library dependancies to try and support both FC4 and back-rev'd FC3 apps is a nightmare. Before you jump over to FC4, be sure to set up a test server and test *everything* you plan run. Other than that, FC4 is quite good, and I'm looking forward to apps getting updated! --Katin

So it'll have the newest, and CentOS will probably be more stable because of it.

Re: [drupal-support] can drupal do yahoo groups?
by Skip Taylor 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Stan, I had about 6 Yahoo Groups before I met Drupal. I moved all of them to the Drupal based forums on my site. A few users wanted a mailing list so I gave them that functionality with Mailman. Oddly enough most of the users who were complaining that they needed a mailing list now prefer the Drupal forums and the users that went to the mailing list are wondering where everyone went! However, there are some of my people that cannot (due to disabilities) navigate the forums well. Most use Speech Recognition and still have problems. So I'm working with these modules in Drupal to make a bi-directional communication between a forum and a Mailman mailing list: 1) Listhandler 2) Mail Alias 3) Mailhandler I'm still testing but it's working so far using those 3 modules on my sandbox system. It seems that it should work with any mailing list software to and from a Drupal forum though. The problem I have with PhpBB is even though it is good software and very popular, it's too popular with the "let's spread mayhem" crowd. I just spent the last weekend helping clear a set of trojan's from a PHPBB's Forum index page. I guess I'm just too serious about my site for those games. I'm unaware of any tie-in software between PhpBB and Drupal however. There is another problem I've found with mailing list servers. The majority of them require root access to install or get them to work after the install. If you're using a shared server it's not possible for you to put most of them on your system. You may have to get the host company to do it if they will and you might still have problems. One other factor I had in mind was that I wanted all relevant material in one place and searchable as many people use my lists/site as reference material. Hope that's of help.
