Hide hit counter from teaser?
by A-NO-NE Music 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

I'd like to hide the hit counter from teaser because it is taking space up. I thought there was a config place to control this but I can't find it. Is this something I need to override? Thanks for any advice. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com>

class and globals in functions (maybe PHP)
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I've to access an external DB (MS SQL so it is too complicated to rewrite the DB layer... bla bla) So I plugged in my class to be seen inside hooks... //catalog_base.inc $param="salve"; class Catalog_DB { function __construct($DBParam) { //... } public function test() { print(""); } } $DBGorilla=new Catalog_DB($param); //catalog.module $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'catalog'); require_once($path . '/catalog_base.inc'); //... hooks etc... //test1 $DBGorilla->test(); function catalog_asearch() { global $DBGorilla; //test2 $DBGorilla->test(); $query=$DBGorilla->test(); return ""; } test1 succeed test2 fail with Call to a member function test() on a non-object in ... using $GLOBALS makes no difference... but drupal code is plenty of global $user; in functions what's wrong? thx -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

How techy must one be to use CCK?
by Krister Ekstrom 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi there. Ok, the subject line may sound a little ... overdoing, or what one should say, but let me explain: As i understand it, CCK is a very powerful and flexible module/set of modules. As i understand it, you can create your own content types with your own fields and/or use the provided field modules of which there seem to be a whole lot. What i want to know is if it's possible for a non-programmer like me to use CCK with any success. Another reason why i ask this question is that i'm helping a friend to set up a web site and it's possible she will also want to use CCK and she, just like me is a non-programmer. As always, thankful for any answers. /Krister

page titles for views?
by sander-martijn 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Does anyone know a way to customize the page title (in the title tag) for a view? I asked about this for pages earlier and Bill suggested the page title module which works great - but there are two top level pages that are views that I need to customize the titles for and the page title module doesn't work with views. Since it's only two pages and the title isn't likely to change or at least not often I'm even willing to hard code it into template.php. what i tried so far is to add the following function to _phptemplate_variables: if($vars['node']->nid == '12'){ $vars['head_title'] = "TEST"; } I verified (through print statements) that the statement gets triggered on the proper page and that $vars['head_title'] is printing the current title. Furthermore a similar function is how the page title module does it. Yet when I print out the variable immediately after the function it still stays what it was. Full with print statements and output: print($vars['head_title']); // prints: Photo Gallery | Timberpeg if($vars['node']->nid == '12'){ print(" changing to test "); // prints: changing to test - indicates it gets triggered $vars['head_title'] = "TEST"; } print($vars['head_title']); // prints: Photo Gallery | Timberpeg thanks .sander

timesheet/employee module?
by John Callahan 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I have seen references to possible projects but no definitive answers. Does anyone know of a module where users can submit timesheets? Maybe there's something currently in development? Something simple where users can logon daily/weekly/biweekly and fill out a form with their hours, and maybe some info/ids of the projects they worked on. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. - John

Re: [support] How do I identify Node IDs?

I guess I was assuming if you needed the node id that you weren't just an average viewing only user. If the OP wants that displayed to everyone, s/he could always add <?php print $node->nid ?> somewhere in node.tpl.php. Michelle

I just hover over the edit tab and look at the URL in the status bar. Michelle On 9/28/2007 12:36:44 PM, Agon S.

Development Best Practices
by Andrew Hankinson 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi folks, I'm in the process of developing a new Drupal site that will be fairly active when it gets up and running. As such, I'm wanting to have a development site ("HEAD") and a production site ("RELEASE"), but I'm at a bit of a loss for how to keep the databases in sync, preserving the changes I make on the development side, but not overwriting any of the content that may have been added on the production side. I'm sure others have run into this same problem, and so I'm wondering - are there any "best practices" documents out there to show how others have done it? I'll keep looking, but thought I'd appeal to the collective wisdom in case I miss anything. Cheers, Andrew
