Troubleshooting URL rewrites
by Amanda B Hickman 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I'm setting up Drupal on a subdirectory of our site and struggling mightily with clean URLs. I think this is an Apache issue, or a fixing my Apache config issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it without breaking the rest of the site. I have full control over the apache configuration, but I inherited a site with a fair amount of tweaking, rewrite rules to accommodate a site restructuring long ago, and more tweaking. Mod_rewrite is definitely enabled, and we're using it extensively in other places. What I'd like to do is add a line or six to the "staging.conf" (and eventually to www.conf) in my apache configs that will give drupal control over URL rewriting in the drupal directory without interfering with anything else. Currently, the "clean url" test just fails. I've looked around in the handbook, and don't see anything that looks like it is going to solve my problem, so I'm wondering if anyone has advice for me. thanks, Amanda -- Amanda B Hickman (p) 917 655 2579 (s) amandabee (a) amandahlinc (w) http://velociraptor.info

I just installed 5.3 but none of the modules are showing up when I try to enable them. Did I miss something? Thanks

Recreating "Buddylist" block on customised userpage
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I would like to recreate the Buddylist block I get on user pages (user/1, user/2, etc) which looks, after a bit of localisation changing, like this: --------------------------------------- Contact List Contacts: a.. Phil b.. John c.. Mike Contact Of: a.. John b.. Mike c.. Caroline (if I go to John's page) Remove John from your Contact List. (if I go to Cherie's page) Add Cherie to your Contact List. --------------------------------------- I checked out http://drupal.org/node/35738 and http://drupal.org/node/36501 but the code seems to be giving me info based on MY buddylist, whichever page I'm viewing. (I think this is because on my customised user_profile.tpl.php file, I call global $user earlier in the code. I did get the following snippet from the drupal forum to get the user page user, not the viewing user: <?php $temp_user = array('uid' => arg(1)); $user_page_user = user_load($temp_user ); ?> So if I put: <p>My name is <?php print $user->name ?></p> <p>My name is <?php print $user_page_user->name ?></p> I get first my name (viewing user) printed and then the name of the person whose page I'm viewing (viewed user). Believe me, I've been tearing my hair out about these "viewing user", "viewed user" differences for 3 days! But I don't seem to be able to incorporate $user_page_user into the buddylist snippet. It always shows me MY buddies, whichever page I'm on. Could someone point me in the right direction? .....and stop a grown man crying. :-(

Panels and theming
by Vasileios Lourdas 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hello, Is it possible to custom theme a panel? I don't mean by using css, but I need to have custom .tpl.php files to display the content of each region in a panel. Is that possible? Right now, I have a couple of blocks displayed in the panel, but they are rendered as in block.tpl.php, but I don't want that (currently, block.tpl.php defines a table and I do not want to display the containing blocks of a panel region inside a table). Thank you. -- # Vasileios Lourdas, # Informatics Engineer, Thessaloniki (Greece) # http://www.lourdas.name

Page Callback
by Fred Jones 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I am looking at this sample module: http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/examples/page_example.module/5 but I am not getting it. The "A simple page callback." seems like it makes http://mysite.com/foo call the function page_example_foo() and so the user will see "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." I tried adding this code to my Drupal 5.2 but it doesn't seem to work. Can you someone show me how I can setup such a thing? That http://mysite.com/foo returns the output which I determine from a function. I don't actually need a menu item--I want the user to select an option in a dropdown and then submit a little form--based on their input I perform a search. What I can't figure out is how to get the search results to the browser. Thanks!

I need to create multiple CCk nodes as an action.
by Rajaram Shyamala 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I am able to query the nodes linked to a specific taxonomy and generate nodes, but in my loop the nodes get over written and in the end I hav eonly the last node. Code: while ($node_tid = db_fetch_object($result)) { global $user; $question->uid = $user->uid; $question->type= 'questions'; $question->title = $node_tid->title; // $question = node_submit($question); $question->taxonomy = $category; $question->og_groups[] = $gid; $new_id= node_submit($question); node_save($new_id); cache_clear_all(); }

URL Alias with Argument
by Fred Jones 21 Oct '07

21 Oct '07

My store 'category page' needs to show a list of subcategories, each with an image and text. I have taxonomy image and I wrote a bit of PHP on a page to create EXACTLY what I need. The only drawback is that the URL is /node/7/x where x is the category id. I would like to use of course /cat/x but I don't see a way to do this. I know that I in theory could have used Views to create the page in the first place, but I didn't see easily how to do this (including the taxonomy image) nor am I an expert in Views. So is there a way to achieve a URL alias with an argument? I don't want to enter each one /cat/1 /cat/2 manually. :( Thanks!
