RE: [support] Image/Photo Galleries - recommendations of modules
by Metzler, David 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

I don't think these modules will facilitate batch uploading. Properly configured image assist should display an icon below each text area to facilitate the adding of an image that has already been uploaded using the "create image" menu. (i.e. creating a node of content type image). The icon looks a bit like the plus sign and an image. A demo can be found with by clicking on the submit a poem link on my drupal demo site: http://www2.evergreen.edu/dave Dave ________________________________ From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Whealton Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2006 9:51 AM To: support(a)drupal.org Subject: [support] Image/Photo Galleries - recommendations of modules Hi, I'm wanting to use Drupal for a site where a company will want to display it's projects. What we'd have would be photographs, image files that would contain a few photographs and some captions to explain things to the visitor obviously. I also want a tool for including image files in a posting. I've mentioned this on topics that were related but different, so I thought I'd write with a focus on using images. First is choosing the tools to use, the modules. Do I use just one? For example, I see a module for Gallery, one for Image and Image_assist, image import, and image_filter. Some of these seem like they would work not all alone but in conjunction with others. Some features that I'd like and which module seems to address it, are as follows: 1) allow batch uploading by the customer, on their site, of a zip or other compre ssed file, that will be unzipped by the system. 2) Allow captioning for each image 3) Add images to story/page/other nodes Qquestion 1>So, #1 and #2 seem like they would be met by either Gallery, Image or Image Import. #3 maybe is what I would need for the inline images. But should I use Image or Gallery or Image Import but not both or all three? Is there another module worth considering? I'm just trying to get an idea how to not duplicate and confuse others by having two or more modules that do the same thing. Question 2> referring to #3 above, I have image_assist installed but I'm not seeing where on the add/page or add/story forms I would see the place to include a photograph into the posting. Not to sound ignorant, but how does "Image Assist" assist a person adding a node with one or more photographs? I do see atta ch file but that's there without Image Assist. Please clear this up for me or help Sorry I'm so verbose... Q3> Should I consider other modules for working with or using images?

New Install Problem: Access Denied
by Kory Hamzeh 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

I'm a newbie when it comes to drupal and MySQL, but I've been developing software under unix/linux for 20 years. I'm running Fedora Core 4.0, MySQL 4.1.11, and installed drupal 4.6.5. I followed all of the steps to setup the initial user's list in MySQL, and the steps to create a drupal mysql user and database. I have set $db_url in sites/default/setting.php to: Mysql://drupalusername:drupalpassword@fullhostname/drupaldatabasename I've set: $base_url="http://fullhostname"; Of course these values are changed for the e-mail, but they are the correct values as the names imply. The problem I have is when I point my browser to the drupal directory, I get the following error in the browser window: Access denied for user 'drupaluser'@'fullhostname' (using password: YES) I can view a test index.html in the web root directory, so I know apache is up and running. I get do a "mysqladmin version --password=rootpassword" to talk to the mysqldemon and that is running. The basic mysql test show the databases are there. Considering I did not get any errors while configuring everything, I must have misunderstood something. I realize there are probably hundreds of things that I could have done wrong, but can I get some pointers or things to try? I've double checked everything several times. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Kory

Few quick questions/problems
by Bruce Whealton 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

I am having a problems with editing content on my site. I select administer/content then I selected edit for the content page that I wanted to edit. I then tried to preview a changed version of that page/story and I get a message that 1a) "Cannot edit this page it was created by another user. " That's strange because I created the page and am logged in as me. Any idea what could cause this or what I can do? Would you need more information or to get into the account to figure this out? {{{Note: 1b was achieved by deleting the original posting or book page and recreating it. However, upon trying to edit it, I got the same error relating to "Cannot edit thsi page it was created by another user."}}} 1b) I had deleted the old version of the page and created a new version of that entry, then came back and saw the old page/old version that I deleted, was there and not the new page/revision (not really a new revision because the old was removed/deleted) 2) Ok, then I try to move that story into the book that I started. So, I selected Outline and then selected the top level entry for the appropriate book. Then I hit Submit and this is the message I got> user error: Duplicate entry '14' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO book (nid, parent, weight) VALUES (14, 10, 0) in /home/brucew/public_html/StreetExposure/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66. warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/brucew/public_html/StreetExposure/includes/common.inc:384) in /home/brucew/public_html/StreetExposure/includes/common.inc on line 192. [I have this as an attachment also, in rtf format.] 3) I thought I had a link to each page in a book, like this> drupal_install/path That takes me to the first page of the book and all later entries cannot have the same path, obviously. So, how can I create a link to all pages in a particular book? To put the book pages into one particular book, you just select the same parent for each page, right? 4) Can the above problems be specific to books on my site and how they are handled?

Re: Re: [support] Problems upload Powerpoint files

Thanks to Jason Flatt, He recommended the following thread to solve the problem with uploading large files: http://drupal.org/node/19326#comment-33910 I tried the changes to settings.php with no luck, but after adding to .htaccess the two suggested lines: php_value upload_max_filesize 15000000 php_value post_max_size 15000000 with values in bytes, it worked! -Matthew O'Malley Grand Junction Design __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Problems upload Powerpoint files
by Grand Junction 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hi - I'm trying to upload PowerPoint files using "Attach Files" at the bottom of a page on my site. However, when I try to attach the files, the page reloads with no error messages but does not have the file attached. In the upload settings I have "ppt" files allowed, and the files are nowhere near the max file size per upload limit (one is 2 MB, the other is 4 MB - max size is 10 MB), nor am I anywhere near the Maximum total file size for the site or the Total file size per user. Any suggestions? Thanks, Matthew O'Malley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: [support] User Roles

Hi Abhishek, 1. Once you're logged in to the administration pages, as an administrator, go here: www.yourdomain.com/?q=admin/access/roles => Over here you create the roles you want to define for your site, such as "webmaster" or "editor", and so on. 2. With the roles defined, you now go here: www.yourdomain.com/?q=admin/access => This is where you decide which user has which access on your site. You choose the accesses per module, per role. 3. Now that you have the roles defined and the appropriate access given to each role, you now go here: www.yourdomain.com/?q=admin/user => Here you click "edit" on each user account you want to assign the role to, for example, if you have a user "pete", click on the "edit" link of "pete" right next to the "last access" column. In the new window that opens, you can choose the roles which user "pete" must have. I hope this helps!
