How to link to "my account" in the main menu ?
by Xavier Bestel 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi (newbie question ahead), I'm using Drupal 5. I tried to add an element to the main menu to link to "my account", so I made it link to "user". But when I do that, the element doesn't appear in the menu (whereas it works for all other pages). I have to put the full URL and then the element appears. I looks like the menu system filters some elements based on some mysterious criteria - for example the "admin" element is showed only for administrators (that's handy). But why isn't "user" showing properly ? Thanks, Xav

Best practices for >1 environment
by Bruce Gordon 16 Oct '07

Suppose I support my production environment by staging thing through a QA environment first. I now have 2 Drupal environments. At a crude level the changes take 2 forms: 1-files system changes and 2-DBMS changes. The DBMS changes can be further divided into A-changes done on my behalf by modules and B-Changes made by an administrator (/admin changes). How can I make changes to my QA environment in a controlled way, approve them and then migrate them to my production environment. I really want 100%, or close to it coverage. I don't want a solution that only manages the files. Thanks, -Bruce

Hello, I have a Drupal 4.7 website (I think it's 4.7) and some of my users are experiencing login problems. "Alice" will log in and end up inside "Bob"'s account. Alice can see Bob's account details, edit his blog, etc. Alice is 100% logged in as Bob. Alice and Bob are in the same building, probably behind a firewall. Does anyone know what could cause this problem? My first guess is that they are using a shared computer and Bob forgot to log out, but I'm not sure that this is true (btw, this is a school, Alice is a student and Bob a teacher, and Bob is not happy that his students can use his account). How does Drupal store login information? Does it use a cookie? Or does it use the IP address? I have every reason to believe that Alice and Bob would show up as the same IP, so I hope that's not what Drupal uses. If Drupal only uses cookies, then that means that Bob didn't log out, right? Or is there another possibility? Thanks for the help. Cheers, Daniel.

SLOW LOADING

This is the #1 complaint I get from users of my site and no matter what I do, I can't figure how to make my pages load faster. I would like to know what suggestions you have. I really don't think this is an issue with what's on the pages. I think this is something to do with the DB and how it calls in blocks. I am running D4.7 / liza Liza Sabater, Publisher www.culturekitchen.com www.dailygotham.com MOB - 646.552.7365 AIM - cultkitdiva

RTF Import
by Fred Jones 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I have now a set of around 10K RTF files which I want to import into Drupal as nodes. Roughly 600 of them have external images, linked using a structured file naming system. The RTF data is structured in volumes, each one to a directory, and then each page (more or less) is an RTF file. We have defined the teaser as the first 150 words of each article, where articles are defined as beginning on certain pages in another file. We plan to make the teasers available publicly and the full text only to paying members. I have poked around Google and drupal.com and I haven't really found any good solution for this type of import. The RTF files are not technically simple--some have tables and sideways text and other non-trivial RTF constructs. Any ideas as how to begin with this job? Perhaps convert RTF to HTML or XML first? Thanks, Fred

Brilliant-Gallery
by Joe Masters 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Hi! New to Drupal and fairly new to CMS in general. I have just installed Drupal 5.2 on Debian sid with Postgres 8.2 and PHP5. I cannot seem to get Brilliant-Gallery module to display images properly. All I get is a black bar. I have Lightbox and JQuery modules installed and everything is in the recommended place. It is obviously trying to display something so do I need any other modules? See www.joeshome.me.uk for the problem. The front page is just one line of text and [bg|chartwell], chartwell being the directory under files/albums/ Hope this is the correct place to post this query. I have searched the forums but drawn a blank -- Regards, Joe

easy way for users to upload images ?
by Xavier Bestel 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi, since I have made our community site in drupal 5, I have constant requests from our users to "make it simple" because it's apparently far too complex. One big sore point seems to be uploading of images (in stories or as albums). I'm using the image module and derivatives. Now, it reached the point where they want me to switch to another framework, like joomla. So, does anyone have a way to make images uploading intuitive ? Thanks, Xav

Re: [support] OG - Allowing non-members to see non-public posts
by Zohar Stolar 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Here is how I did finally: I used a custom module to add a new permission, called 'view non-public og posts', and gave it to the right role. Then I added two access hooks, as follows: function mymodule_node_grants($account, $op) { if ($op == 'view' && user_access('view non-public og posts')) { $grants['mymodule_realm'][] = 4; } return $grants ? $grants : array(); } function mymodule_node_access_records( $node) { $grants[] = array( 'realm' => 'mymodule_realm', 'gid' => 4, 'grant_view' => 1, ); return $grants; } This does two things: * Allows users with the right permission to see all posts (including private og posts). Note that this function should be altered if you still need to limit the users access to other node types. * Still, it accomplishes the need to have a group of users with non-admin permissions, that can still bypass the OG access limits.

feed disappeared
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

Recently I noticed that... a site of mine is missing the feed_icons link. feeds are there, even the site feed is there, but the feed_icons is missing. I changed theme... still missing... I made a diff with a site on the same server that has the icon and I noticed that jstools activeedit panels view have different versions. But all of them are disabled. Feeds appear just in the category/ group of urls. Could be something related with url alias? thx -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
