Taxonomy generated pages sort order
by Kobus Myburgh 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi, I have a basic node type with a field "itemcode", which I want to be used as the default sorting field with ASC order for the taxonomy generated pages. I found a lengthy thead on the Drupal site which indicates that this is a often sought feature, but that it is postponed to post version 4.7, but I am not sure that it can handle a specific field as well as a different sort order. (http://drupal.org/node/10839). If not, is there a way I can specify this by command-line, i.e. "taxonomy/term/3,5&field=itemcode&order=asc" or similar? Thanks in advance, Kobus

Dave, Thanks very much for the info! It seems that it doesn't work correct in IE, only in Opera (didn't test FireFox), which means the code is correct, but IE's bugs prevent it from working. Is there any difference you know about between the ways these two browsers handle these settings? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated... Regards, Kobus >>> MetzlerD(a)evergreen.edu 3/23/2006 5:55:54 PM >>> It's true that auto-password population is controlled by the browser, but its also true, (at least when I downloaded drupal) that the default cookie settings would leave a persistant drupal session cookie after you closed your browser. So when you opened the browser from the same workstation and went to the same drupal site you would still be logged in unless you had explicitly logged out before leaving. The resolution is to add the following to you settings file for each drupal site. #Dont remember logins ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'nocache'); ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0); Is that closer to what you were looking for Kobus?

Automatic user login
by Kobus Myburgh 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hi, Is there a way to disable automatic user login (in other words, user logs in, exits site without logging out, and open site again, and is automatically logged in) and rather /prefill/ the username and password box with the values used to recognize the person logged in? Is this stored in a cookie or something? Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance, Kobus

Okay - so I need that automatically log in process to "disappear", like in previous Drupal versions. Can it be easily done?

So the recommendation is related to your browser settings, but the automatically log in part? There used to be a feature in Drupal that had a checkbox stating "Remember me" which is now not there anymore.

RE: [support] Front page configuration
by Metzler, David 21 Mar '06

I numbered your questions for easier referencing. 1 and 2. Change the defaults assocaited with each content type how you want them. The "administer node" access privilege controlls whether users can chage this. Configure the content types at: administer->content then click on configure tab, then click on content types sub-tab. 3. This is done in administer->themes then click on the configure tab. You can there tell drupal not to include pictures in posts. -----Original Message----- From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Simon Schneebeli Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 1:26 PM To: support(a)drupal.org Subject: [support] Front page configuration Hi all, I just recently switched from Joomla to Drupal, and my first impression is quite good (and I hope this won't change) although I have to admit, that I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the possible modules and code snippets that are available.

E-Comm Module Problems
by Carl Parrish 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

At one point I thought I remember seeing mailing list for modules but now I can't seem to find it. If I'm posting to the wrong list please kindly point me in the right direct. I seem to be having two problems with the e-com module (from 4.6 from CVS) one Emails aren't being sent out when and order is taken, yet I'm pretty sure I have that option set. Two Orders aren't being sent to authorize.net, even though I have the transaction Id and securety Codes correct. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong will be helpful.

Multi-Languages Site
by Salman 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

I have a Drupal site http://www.mishkah.org/blog and I want to make the followings: 1) Be able to post english and arabic blogs/stories/pages. This I can do as Drupal supports UTF-8 2) Be able to make english posts appear from Left-To-Right while arabic posts appear from Right-To-Left. For this I found few options. a) using bidi.theme and bidi.module (which is a filter module) b) using i18n module, which needs patching the core. c) encoding the post in html tags. d) using input module to do that. So far, I found that Htmlarea, Tinymce, FCKeditor and Xinha all do this. I am currently using Tinymce. What I really want to do is this: when a visitor enters the site, I want him to be able to display only the english posts or arabic posts or both -or both, all the posts-. I also want him to be able to change the language of the navigation menu and other blocks if they have an alternative language. These are the options I thought of so far: 1) I can make two site http://www.ar.mishkah.org/blog and http://www.en.mishkah.org/blog or make http://www.mishkah.org/blog/ar and http://www.mishkah.org/blog/en point to different two sites, each with a different menu and posts and blocks. but this means 2 databases or at lease two different tables, I am not sure how it works. 2) maybe I can add a taxonomy verb as language/arabic and language/english. and if there is a way to make that appear changed from a clickable url, then a user can click to show posts in english only or arabic only. but then I still have the problem of the site interface, I am not sure if an anonymous visitor can change that from a clickable url. 3) I am not really sure what the i18n module can help with in this regard. Please advice.
