Customizing Fields?
by Ian Elwood 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I would like to create a new link field that has a text field and a URL field. This exists in Drupal, it is now called, "Link" in the Create new field list. I would like to make the URL field non-required, so that if users enter text, it will show up, but if they don't put in a URL, they can still enter the text--it just wont show up as a link. Does this functionality require coding? If so, how would I go about changing the PHP to do it? Thanks! --ian--

Event & subscription management
by Anthony Yarusso 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm brand-new to Drupal, and wondering if someone could advise me as to how to go about doing the following: I would like to have an event management section of my web site, which will have a calendar view of various events, each of which is assigned a category. I (the superuser) should be able to add these of course, but it would be helpful if project leads for each category could post their own to it. In addition to the web view, users should be able to subscribe to it through a simple form asking for their e-mail address and a set of checkboxes allowing them to indicate which categories interest them. They should be able to choose to get notifications of when a new event is published, reminders of events n amount of time before it, or both. These things should also be available as RSS/Atom feeds. It would be ideal if the subscription checkbox system were extended to the entire site, allowing a user to subscribe for instance to events of categories "parties" and "meetings", blog posts by users 4 and 17, and all nodes tagged as "news". It would be best if the subscriptions could be done both within the context of Drupal user accounts as well as for the "anonymous" user, requiring only that they put a valid e-mail address in the form, for minimal confusion for more basic users. Can someone point me in the right direction? - - Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFHCeWFKlAIzV4ebxoRAi/7AJ96nmU7PDpL5EJA3OiKm21e20YotACTBvsL 01xFqpuZFOx3pnlxHJfOvw== =/ta5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Taxonomy access control and access node restriction
by Vasileios Lourdas 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hello, I want to restrict access to anonymous users and specific user roles for a content section of the site. I used this methodology: Tag the restricted node with a term. Using the taxonomy access control module, I deny all permissions for the anonymous user and for content tagged with the specific term. However, the anonymous user can still see the node. The node is tagged with this term only. Shouldn't this procedure normally work and restrict access to anonymous users? Thanks. -- # Vasileios Lourdas, # Informatics Engineer, Thessaloniki (Greece) # http://www.lourdas.name

How to add a form inside a node?
by Chocomix 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi All, I have a nice form which I created on an html editor. I did a copy&paste on a node content, but the form does not show up properly. I guess the problem is that drupal puts already a <form> tag enclosing the entire node html. Which is the solution to create a node with one (or two) form inside the content? Thanks for your help, Giorgio

I'm desperate!!! this is the forum btw: http://ammenet.dk/forum it's in Danish. If you wanna try something out you can log in as user: test password: star3k thanks Morten

http/s issues (still)
by sander-martijn 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi guys, I'm still having an http to https and back issue with drupal, but I've narrowed it down to a single L and wondering if anyone has any suggestions now. The L stands for "Last Rule" - if it's there it behaves half correctly and if it's not there it behaves half correctly - in the opposite way. # REWRITE TO SSL if contact/requestBook # WORKS AS EXPECTED ON IT'S OWN RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^(contact/requestBook)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L] # REWRITE TO NON-SSL if not contact/requestBook # also ignore if a supporting file or else the page will display a broken lock # IF [R=301,L] then any other page on https redirects to non-ssl fine but contact/requestBook redirects to non-ssl non-pretty url # http://s24863.gridserver.com/index.php?q=contact/requestBook # IF you remove the L so it's [R=301] then contact/requestBook redirects fine but other pages stay on https and report Page not found RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(contact/requestBook) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*css) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*js) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*jpg) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*gif) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*ico) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*png) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301] # Alternate: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L] # DRUPAL REWRITE RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] Thanks, sander

Best practices for mobile sites in Drupal
by Albert Cuesta 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi everyone After a bit of research, I have concluded that there are two main approaches to creating mobile-enabled versions of existing Drupal sites: * Using the mobile theme <http://drupal.org/project/mobile> and setting up some theme switcher / URL alias to redirect requests to 'clean' pages * Using the .mobi loader module <http://drupal.org/project/mobi_loader> + .mobi theme <http://drupal.org/project/mobi> combo, so all requests for the site.mobi domain are intercepted and get the 'clean' theme. However, I have found it quite buggy, so many requests for the mobile site are still getting the default theme, as reported here <http://drupal.org/node/163541> Besides, none of these two themes pass the compatibility tests at http://mtld.mobi How are you managing the mobile versions of your sites? Has anyone combined the above two approaches? Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Albert Cuesta http://www.canalpda.com
