manually disable custom block
by Jason White 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

OK ... I've managed to implement a custom block that hoses my login block (amazing what happens when you forget to close your form tag! ... <smacks self over head>. I need to disable it from the back end. I'm looking at the blocks table, but don't see a way. Any one have an idea on this one? And of course I'm supposed to orient a few people to putting content into the system in a little bit .. .ugggh! TIA, Jason

menu module permissions
by Emre 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hello everybody, I've created a role called editor. Editors can create content, edit content and are able to add new content to the menu whereever they want. They can also change the place of a content in the menu. But the problem is, they shouldn't be able to administer the actual menus. I mean they shouldn't be able to add a menu, a menu item, or change the expanded state of a menu, etc... In order to do this, I gave the administration rights for the menu module to the editor, because they have to place their new content on the menu. But this permission also gives them the ability to do things that I dont want them to have access to, as I mentioned above. Could anyone give me some advice on what I should? Thanks...

how to handle internal links
by Ray Zimmerman 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

I'm building a site that is currently in a sub-directory of my web server document root, but when it is finally deployed it will be in the document root. So currently node 99 is at, e.g. http://example.com/dev/node/99 ... but when I deploy the site it will be at ... http://example.com/node/99 My question is, what is the best way to link to node/99 from the body of another node, and have it work on my dev server as well as the production server? Is there an input filter that converts a URL that is relative to drupal's root into an absolute URL? Ray

FW: Directory permissions list
by Chris W. Parker 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

I didn't finish my membership signup before I sent this email. Whoops. Hopefully the list isn't receiving this a second time. -----Original Message----- From: Chris W. Parker Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 12:05 PM To: 'support(a)drupal.org' Subject: Directory permissions list Hello, This is really close to a verbatim copy of a post I made on the support forum last Friday. I'm hoping that some of you mailing list people didn't see my request. I've searched on the Drupal site multiple times as well as Google. I also went to the PHP page defining is_dir(). So far I haven't found the answer. I suspect ==== I've had to jump over a few permissions hurdles as I installed Drupal 4.7, and now I've come to one that I'm stuck on. I'm trying to evaluate the e-commerce module but I get the following error on the Modules page: warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for sites/default/modules/ecommerce (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /var/www/html/drupal-4.7.2/includes/file.inc on line 641. Originally there was no 'modules' directory in ./drupal-4.7.2/sites/default/ so I created my own and then moved the 'ecommerce' folder there. I've tried setting 'chmod 777' on both the 'modules' directory and the 'ecommerce' directory, but I still get the same error. Surely 'chmod 777' should work? I've also done 'chown root.apache ...' where ... is the modules directory and the ecommerce directory. What I'd really like to see is a document that details the permissions that are required for Drupal 4.7. The setup/installation was REALLY easy but at the same time I'm perplexed by the lack of information on required directory permissions. ==== Thanks everyone! Chris.

digg and drupal blogapi
by David Grant 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

I can't get digg blog this feature to work with drupal 4.7. I've tried all combinations of settings but it won't work. Anyone have any luck with this? The only advice out there that I have seen is to use the wordpress option. I tried that, no luck. -- David Grant

Re: [support] Dynamic Menus That Work OK Without Javascript

On 7/21/06, Randal <digitas(a)panix.com> wrote: > On the face of it, this does seem to do what I need, but I will have to look at it. It seems to me that my desired menu wouldn't even require AJAX, but just having the module write a CSS to make a navigation section visible rather than invisible when you are in that section. This would make the navigation usable without any sort of scripting, and javascript viewers would be able to directly access any section, subsection or subsubsection of the menu through dhtml. > I'm kind of torn on whether the AJAX stuff is a good or a bad thing...on the one hand, it means I'm not building or sending ALL of the menu on each page load. On the other hand, my guess is that doing even a partial bootstrap for the ability to get that next section of menu is probably pretty inefficient on its own. The machine is sitting idle on its own dedicated hardware at the moment...perhaps I'll do some tests....

Just closing the loop on this. Randal - I assume you didn't ever solve (or maybe you did solve it, but didn't share your solution). On 6/16/06, Randal <digitas(a)panix.com> wrote: > I will look at Nice Menus to see how easily it can be hacked to do this. Obviously what I need is a CSS statement written to the page (not in javascript) that opens a specific menu section vertically when you are in the section that that menu item represents. > Anyway, I just noticed the activemenu module which is a part of the jstools module and activemenu does exactly what you want (I think). http://drupal.org/node/57285 "Activemenus makes the standard Drupal navigation menu expandable. Clickable, highlighted regions are added to the menu. When a collapsed menu item is expanded, the child menu items are loaded dynamically through AJAX." The only problem I have with it is that it uses AJAX to pull down the expanded menu information. On a busy site that can result in a jagged movement and require the user to pause unnecessarily. Anyway, in my quick tests it worked -- with and without javascript -- in IE6 and Firefox1.5.

Mailing List System
by Rob 18 Jul '06

Does anyone know of a mailing list system that would work well with Drupal? I am trying to find something similar to constantcontact.com but which is free or priced cheaply. Rob -- Powered by NewOrleansEmail.Com http://neworleansemail.com
