special ecommerce application
by Christian Vetter 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi folks, My client is a service provider and wants to offer his clients to view their bills on his web site. So the his clients would only be able to view the bills, but they could not set up orders in the sense of a web shop. I looked around a bit and found only few possible options, one of them being the ecommerce module for drupal. I installed Drupal and the module and set it up as far I could so far. Now it seems to me that this billing system is hardly feasible with ecommerce. Am I right here, or do I just need to delve more into the module configuration? Best regards, Christian

Acidfree problem
by Simon Schneebeli 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi all, I've just added filemanager and acidfree to my site. I encounter a problem when trying to upload a picture. I get repeatedly the following error messages: warning: fopen(private/filemanager.lck): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/simon/public_html/modules/filemanager.module on line 654. warning: flock(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/simon/public_html/modules/filemanager.module on line 655. warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for private/working (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/simon/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 533. I assume it's a problem of setting the right permission. So to which files do I have to change permissions? Thanks for help. Simon

Hi, I can't answer the questions in your first paragraph, but I can answer the second one: whether style.css is loaded last is not the only concern. You can have one style overwriting another style in the same file, like I had last night :-) But in general, if you edit style.css correctly, you should be okay. Regards, Kobus >>> brucewhealton(a)yahoo.com 4/4/2006 3:13:16 PM >>> I don't know if this can be done as is, or with some css editing. I think bluemarine is a good one to use for customization, as stated below. But, I want to try to get the site to open on the image galleries. But, instead of opening with one image across and one row per image gallery, can I have the content area display images like they appear when you select an image gallery itself? In this case, the images go across, more than one column across? What style sheet would cover things like that? Also, if one wants to change the background and font colors on a particular page, would it be best to just do view source when displaying that page to get an idea which styles are being used? And if a change is needed, by editing style.css I can be sure that I'll be overriding any styles that might be defined elsewhere, because style.css is loaded last?

Thanks, > Bruce > I looked in the styles.css for blumarine and experiminted with it first. I actually already had a clue on what to look for, since I've been creating a new theme for a new site. Mostly, I have a test site with a few common themes installed, and additional themes that appear to do what I want, as I need them, then I experiment until I find what I want. The three I use most are bluemarine, box_grey and argeebee, in that order. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/ -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Word Salad Poetry Magazine - join us online at: http://wordsalad.net/ and also -> Check out the Buffy the Vampire Slayer writing Street Exposure - Street Newspaper http://wordsalad.net/StreetExposure/ Bruce Whealton - Webmaster/Designer/publisher/Writer http://trianglewebservices.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Re: [development] subscriptions
by VJ Rao 06 Apr '06

Hi Dan, I have tried that option. Problem with changing it to 'true' or '1' is that the checkbox functionality gets messed up. If an user unchecks autosubscribe in his user settings and 'saves'..the next time he clicks on edit profile it shows as checked . this is bound to confuse users. The functionality Im looking for is , when a new user account is created ..auto subscribe is checked by default. But ofcourse, since we are giving him an option to uncheck it..it should remain unchecked once he unchecks it. This is why I wanted to know which database table column stores this information. I am also confused what $user->subscriptions_auto offers since there is no subscriptions_auto column anywhere .

RE: [support] Free Drupal theme with black background

-----Original Message----- From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org]On Behalf Of Bruce >They want to see a black background directly around the image/photograph, to bring out the > picture in terms of how they like it. All drupal themes use CSS. It is trival to change the colors. Just look at the different CSS files for a theme. Less trivial to make a nice colorscheme let alone to come up with a nice theme. Buts just changing the background color would be a no brainer.

Bruce, Simply remove the block in block administration, and add a link to user/login in the menu administration. As for the second question, go to your theme settings and change this in the "global settings".

Once Again...Inserting Image Links
by Lists 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I use Drupal 4.6. (Please don't beg me to try out 4.7.x.z.beta.gamma.123 or anything.) I've read many agonizing 'threads' at Drupal.org, where I should find actual documentation, but instead find people debating various kind-of-works-kind-of-broken things. I've read a few ramblings titled "filemanager+attach versus filestore2" and the like. Unfortunately, the problem with "anybody can edit" manuals and documentation is that, well, "anybody can edit". (Public forums are not replacements for software manuals. That's a problem with the OS and CMS-craze, I think.) Can someone who actually knows something point me in the right direction? Goal: * Insert an image and its <img src=...> tag while editing content. Need: * That I could choose to upload an image, sure. * But also that I could choose to locate an image already on the server. [Why are files already on the server somehow off-limits to DB-driven CMS tools? I would think that a basic 'file browser' to point to a file, and insert a link -- img or a -- would be pretty common. pMachine has such, for example, which is quite sufficient.] * That users (and authors/admins) can upload files to a script/app repository. (Ideally, namespace collisions would be able to be avoided, so that users might be able to upload new versions without replacing the old, and so that users uploading an AppleScript application wouldn't have to worry about a same-named uploaded FileMaker file.) Hope: That I could use the same tool to upload a file, a non-image, for subsequent download by others. I've tried out "filemanager + attach" combo, but I never get any 'attach' form buttons, on either my local test server [MacOSX + Apache + PHP4] or my remote server [Linux + Apache + PHP4]. I don't mind to keep working on this combo, if I believe it will achieve the desired result. I've tried out "filestore2 + fscache" but this is too much overhead for such a simple task. But, I like the file management idea, because I want people to be able to upload files attached to their posts. I don't mind using this combo, but I'd like to find ways to keep the cache size down, and clean out old cache files regularly. I've tried out img_assist, which I liked, but which causes permissions changes on some files, so that they are no longer owned by me, which then causes problems with automated backups and site maintenance. This is great for image insertion, but I still thought it would provide a 'browser' like interface where I could reference an image I already uploaded last week. I never experienced this option. In short, folks, could anyone shed some light on the dizzying array of combinations that are supposed to achieve these goals? Thanks in advance, -- Gary
