small grant for expertfinder project!
by paola.dimaio＠gmail.com 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I have been awarded approx 5.000 usd research grant towards developing a 'person' interface (foaf like) for an expertfinder type application http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/~aleman/efw2007/items/maio.php I am thinking of creating a foaf compatible, extensible and adaptable 'expert person' like schema that can be plugged into 'any' open source cms, say drupal the prototype implementation that I have in mind to use this exension/module is here www.p2paid.org I know that 5 grands is not that much, but here in south east Asia, is can be significant amount of money I hope to use the money to produce something FOSS that can be installed and run as needed by any compatible , as well as spend the money to train someone locally (Chiang Rai/Chiang Mai) area to write xml, foaf, people schema etcetera. I obviously need some help and advice to make sure I dont waste this opportunity to do something useful, so anyone interested in helping out with good advice, guidelines, expertise, ideas - or if you simply know an excellent programmer in Asia who would be interested to develop the schema and get paid basic research rates by the hour, please let me know! How is the expertfinder spec coming along? do we have something to work with? Is someone from expertfinder team going to be at Busan Thanks a lot Paola Di Maio -- Paola Di Maio School of IT www.mfu.ac.th *********************************************

Good events calendar?
by Ari Davidow 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi, I am getting ready to move my events calendar from another application. Looking over discussions on google.org, it looks like my best bet would be to use the separate WebCalendar application, and then integrate that, rather than start from the "events" or "calendar" modules? What I am looking for is a way to let multiple users post events, globally, and to enable both export and import to as many formats as possible. In an ideal world, someone could subscribe to events in Boston, MA, and/or to events in category "workshop". I have a simple calendar of events now ( http://www.klezmershack.com/calendar/), but even if one ignores the template formatting which I haven't done, this particular system requires that =I= manually add all events, and becomes useless when I am not available. It seems especially critical to ensure that events can be exported to local PDAs, but also to appear in other calendar applications. The goal isn't necessarily to have people find out about an event at my website, but rather, to find out about the events that interest them where they look for events, and to be able to post information about their own relevant events (in this case, Jewish music and related Balkan, Middle Eastern, and other music). Thanks, ari

localization of currency, numbers etc...
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I've to localise numbers, currency and dates accordingly to the chosen language. At this moment chosen language is just the one a user define in the profile. Later it will be the one provided by the localisation (i18l or localizer [1]) module. If I had complete control I'd add a function that read the current user settings and format numbers, date and currency accordingly... I didn't see anything like that in the api docs. Do I really have to write such a beast? what would be the best place to put it so that is accessible from all over the site/modules/blocks? thx [1] What is the state of the art for localisation modules for 5.2? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Re: [support] easy way for users to upload images ?
by Marco Bauli 09 Oct '07

Also worth to mention the Node Images module ( http://drupal.org/ project/node_images ) It's dead easy to install (no scary configurations like Imagecache +Imagefield), and it shows an extra tab on the node page that allows users to attach images. Basically, any node gets it's own gallery, and it shows pictures thumbnails above or below node content out of the box (of course it's themable further on). Marco

drupal_render() problem
by Matt Funk 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, i am somewhat new to drupal and so this is probably a trivial problem. I am playing around with theming (i.e. trying to learn how to). Anyway, on my site i have the loggintoboggan module enabled and i would like to change the appearance of the login block. Currently the block simply displays the login/register link. I did not want to touch the module so i thought i'd override the function. This is what i did: - i looked at loggintoboggan.module and found the 'user_login_block' case - in my template.php i added: function phptemplate_user_login_block($form) { return _phptemplate_callback('user_login_block', array('form' => $form)); } - i created user_login_block.tpl.php which contains: <h1> SOMETHING </h1> <?php print "<pre>"; print_r(array_values($form)); print"</pre>"; print_r(drupal_render($form)); ?> The 'SOMETHING' is displayed properly as well as the printing of the array_values. However, the call to drupal_render(...) does not seem to do ANYTHING. What am i doing wrong? I am using drupal 5.0. thanks mat

Simplenews/Cron problem
by Edward Peters 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Can anyone kindly help me? On one of my sites, when I send a newsletter using the Simplenews module, the newsletter list shows 'Currently sending by cron' next to it, and I can't seem to get it to send even by running Cron manually. However, some subscribers seem to have received it anyway! Any suggestions why this might be? It does not happen on my other sites which sit on the same server and seem configured the same way.

Menu navigation block
by Fernando Silva 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, Assuming I have a menu "Primary Links" with the following items: -- Page 1 ---- Page 1.1 ---- Page 1.2 -- Page 2 ---- Page 2.1 ---- Page 2.2 It is easy to put the "Page 1" and "Page 2" at top of the page. But now, when I click in "Page 1" I want to have a left column block, showing only the child menus. This is similar to what the book module does, but instead of using a "book structure" it should use the "menu structure". Anything done to accomplish this? Regards, Fernando Silva

Installing og_forum through profile
by divya d 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I am trying to install the og_forum module through the installation profile. However when I add og_forum in drupal_my_profile_modules, it throws up an error at installation. The error is: Fatal error: Call to undefined function _forum_get_vid() in /var/www/drupal/modules/og_forum/og_forum.install on line 19 All I am doing right now is just adding og_forum in the module list. I have: * enabled forum, organic groups *have not yet made any configuration additions to the profile. Can someone help me out on what I need to do or what I am doing wrong?

Re: [support] easy way for users to upload images ?
by Edward Peters 09 Oct '07

I have found that TinyMCE and IMCE work rather well to provide an intuitive solution. When installed properly, the Image icon in TinyMCE pops up a small window, and by clicking the Browse link next to the image path/name field another larger window opens listing the images you have got in your images folder (presuming you set up everything properly). You can look at the images, select the one you want, and it is inserted into the path/name field of the smaller window, and then you can optionally specify alignment, padding around the image, etc, and insert it inline into the body of your node. The second window mentioned above also has a facility to upload a new image to your images folder. This all works well for reasonably small numbers of photos (<1-200?) but would not work so well for large image galleries.

Inline module is probably the simplest, if you don't bother with the tags and configure it to display images automatically. http://drupal.org/project/inline Neil

Combine Project & Organic Groups
by Broun Uganda 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I have installed Groups and Project Modules but am having trouble combining them to support my purpose. I want to create a user, allocate them to a project/group, work on that project and maintain their data private to them. Folders, files created at the server should be accessible to the group/user of that project. Could anyone give me an idea how i could achieve this. Am terribly new to Drupal and CMS in general.Broun Uganda _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
