Documentation on Image module
by Bruce Whealton 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Hi all, I was wondering where I could find some documentation on using the Image, and Image_assist modules. Selecting read documentation for drupal.org/project/modules/image pulls up a page with a brief snippet, but not any documentation of how to use the Image module features. Does anyone have or know of any documentation on this module? Or similar ones, i.e. Gallery, which has no documentation either, so far as I could tell looking at the project/modules pages? Can anyone send some examples of how you used Images, photo albums in a site? Like a link to such a site that might display a photoalbum with captions using modules for Drupal, along with a description of how you did it, what modules were used and in what way?

Problems with image module
by Gabriele Caniglia 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Hello list, I'm having odd problems with drupal 4.6.4 and the image module. I have created my first image gallery, but when I load the page, not every thumbnail shows up, only few display, and others don't (missing images?). If you reload the page, you have a random effect: it could happen that thumbnails that were missing in the previous screen display correctly this time, and images that displayed correctly now are missing! Try yourself: <http://musimac.it/image/tid/47> Tried with Firefox 1.5 Mac/win, Safari, IE 6 Win. Using the page info option within Firefox, I see that missing thumbnails are served as text/html (reloading the page, images that were previously served as image/jpeg could be served as text/html and vice versa!!!) Hope you can help me, thanks in advance for any support you will offer! -- Gabriele

Re: [support] teaser trimming sometimes not working

I'm running 4.6.5 and found some users were copying and pasting from Word into blogs via tinymce. Probably when making the MS-HTML saner, it appears that entire articles or at least many para's were wrapped in a single <p> pair. line 197 of node.module should split a long para. at the end of the first sentence, but for some reason it was failing. I edited the blog entry, manually reformatted the paras, and presto! the teaser was applied just fine. Should really report this as a bug, i suppose.

RE: [support] How-to allow other users to edit content created byothers

People with Administer Nodes permission can change the owner, modify any content, as well as override comment/publishing defaults.

When I did a quick test yesterday, I just got rid of && ($user->uid == $node->uid) and what happened was the people that weren't the author couldn't delete even though is was under the if 'delete' || 'update'. Not sure why, but that was the behaviour. I found it interesting as well, that the author immediately changed to the new editor, which was a little unwanted/unexpected. I guess there is a hook somewhere to allow users with the 'edit all stories' permission to edit the author information as well... currently I think only user 0 can do that.

How-to allow other users to edit content created by others
by David Grant 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

How do I allow other users to edit content others have created? For example, user1 creates a story. user1 can edit the story. How can I give user2 rights to edit the story as well? There is a permission for "edit own content" under stories but there is no "edit all content" under stories. This seems like a severe limitation to me. Thanks, David

Re: [support] Help with Email This Page module

Hi, > Anyway, I'm getting this problem with the Email This Page module. When I go > to email a page the link that is sent is > node/view/nodeid# > Of course, there is no page at node/view/nodeid# > there is at node/nodeid# which works when I trim the view off the email > link. It even says that the link that will be sent will be of that form, a > link that doesn't exist. So, how can I fix this or otherwise have a link to > email a page to someon e, please? The solution for your problem is that, In the emailpage.module file there is a line of code: ---> $nodelink=$base_url.'/'.url('node/view/'.$_GET['nid']."#comment and ---> $nodelink=$base_url.'/'.url('node/view/'.$_GET['nid']); just what you should do delete 'view/' from both the lines...and save it. Then your module works fine... Regards and cheers! Abhishek Nigam Enabling Dimensions (I) Pvt Ltd. M:9810986314

Re: [support] massive blog hosting
by Larry Garfield 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Please keep replies on-list so that everyone can see them. Beyond setting up Drupal itself, there's not much configuration needed. 1) Install Drupal. 2) Enable the "blog" module and "comment" module. (admin/modules) 3) Give "edit own blog" permission to whichever class of users you want (admin/access). 4) Configure comments to your preference (admin/comments). All users with that permission now have a blog/uid path that is their personal blog. RSS feed is created automagically. Comments can be moderated or not, require logging in or not, threaded or not, etc. On Thursday 02 February 2006 19:15, luis medrano wrote: > Do you know where can find documentation about install and configure > drupal as massive blog hosting? > > Thanks, > Luis > > On 2/2/06, Larry Garfield <larry(a)garfieldtech.com> wrote: > > The included blog module gives a personal blog to every user with the > > appropriate permissions.

Profiles Modules
by dominick dreiser 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hi, this may seem very nooblish but I cant seem to find any fields in the database where the members addition information is stored. We created extra fields for a MMMOPRG guild site, fields such as "main charactor" "2nd charactor" and such. Yet when I run a query of fields for this information under "profile_fields" or "profile_value" none of the additional information is shown. Can someone point me to the right table. Thank you.

Hi. I have created a new node call "zbnews" that derive from story node. I can insert, see, and update my node. Now I want to create a way to redirect the user to an external page if he clicks onto my link zbnews/goto/{node->nid} I have this code: function zbnews_menu($may_cache) { $items = array(); if ($may_cache) { $items[] = array('path' => 'node/add/zbnews', 'title' => t('Aggiungi una notizia'), 'access' => user_access('create zbnews')); $items[] = array( 'path' => 'zbnews/goto', 'title' => t('Page redirect'), 'callback' => 'zbnews_goto', 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, 'callback arguments' => arg(2), 'access' => user_access('access zbnews')); } return $items; } function zbnews_goto($lid = NULL, $url = NULL) { header("Location: http://www.mysite.com"); } But when I click,eg, <a href="?q=zbnews/goto/5">Link nr.5</a>, Drupal return me page not found.
