User File Space?
by Jiann-Ming Su 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

I'm helping a friend evaluate moving his website off of Windows/ASP to Linux/PHP. One of this functional requirements is as follows: THere is admin functionality that allows me to set up accounts (with passwords) that users can access to upload and download files (users have no access to each others files). files should be well protected (cant download just by knowing the location/name. need some mechanism to deal with duplicate file names (current site gives uploaded files a unique name if duplicate is found ... user only sees the name he typed in though). Can Drupal do this? If so, where can I find the documentation on how to configure Drupal to do this? Thanks for any help. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.

setting.php

My drupal installation is under a subfolder of my domain; therefore, I need to type the subfolder (www.example.com/drupal) on the address bar inorder for drupal to come up. How can I change the setting so I do not need to type the subfolder, like www.example.com instead of www.example.com/drupal? I have tried to change the settings.php $base_url ='http://example.com' instead of $base_url ='http://example.com/drupal', but it still does not work. Any idea? Thanks!

How do I create a news and annoucements page similar to http://drupal.org/news? Do I need to create a custom node type using flexinode?

I forgot the error messages that I was supposed to include in this email, like I said I would. Again, this is on adding a photograph or picture to my account.

taxonomy menu
by bruno＠indymedia.be 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

hello, is it possible (preferably without module hacking) to hide taxonomy menus from anonymous users ? when posting articles on our site, users publish them directly in one category only (using Taxonomy _defaults for this). I tried to use acces_control to solve this problem, but this module leaves the (currently empty) menu boxes on the Add node-pages (see for instance http://www.indymedia.be/en/publish/article). to avoid confusion among site users, it would be good to get rid of those menu boxes.. thanks, -- bruno

civicspace 0.8.3-rc3 upgrade path?
by kevin lyda 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

It's an election year for the states and in order to get going I need to get our site live relatively soon. But to do that I need to use some features that exist in 0.8.3. I'm curious what the upgrade path is from rc3 to the next 0.8.3 release. Is there a script provided or is it a case of diff -r and some quality reading time? If it's the latter will there at least be a db update script? Kevin -- Kevin Lyda <diamond> kevin is my comic idol kevin(a)ie.suberic.net

Issue with multisite url creation for edit forms action parameter...
by Tao Starbow 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

I have been able to solve all the issues with multisite except this last one, which is the url in the action parameter for the edit forms being created incorrectly. This problem only shows up for multisite, and only when I use with apache & the baseURL to make a multisite site look like a single site. For example the main CITRIS site is really located at http://citrissrv2.berkeley.edu/citris. It sits behind an apache server that does a proxy pass from http://www.citris-uc.org <http://www.citris-uc.org> to http://citrissrv2.berkeley.edu/drupal/citris. I have set the site's baseURL to http://www.citris-uc.org <http://www.citris-uc.org/>, and 90% of the time this works fine. However, when Drupal generates a edit forms, it prepends "/citris" to the url. So where it should have action="/node/123/edit", it generates action="/citris/node/123/edit". This does not happen if the baseURL is http://citrissrv2.berkeley.edu/citris and proxy pass is not used. To deal with this issue, I set up a symbolic link so that $durpal_dir/citris just points back to $drupal_dir. This is an easy fix that works most of the time. However, modules such as webform and project have forms that use secondary pages as subforms, and as the pages pass the data back-and-forth, I end up with urls like action="/citris/citris/citris/citris/citris/node/123/edit" and so on, until the url finally gets too long for the browser to handle, the url gets clipped & the user is set to an error page. I suspect I am going to be diving into core to address this one, but I still hope it might just be a configuration error on my part. I am grateful for any tip & leads. Thanks, Tao Starbow Web Architect, CITRIS
