CCK Field Not Showing Up on Admin Pages
by Shai Gluskin 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

A CCK field isn't showing up at: /admin/content/types/resource/fields (where "resource" is the name of the content type where I've put the field). The field does show up properly at: /node/add/resource It also displays properly when a node is viewed. The problem field is a text field which uses a select list. I discovered the problem because I want to add some choices to the select list. Weird. Ideas? Shai

HTML Import
by Fred Jones 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I have a project in which I am being given ~ 10K RTF files, each representing one page in a dead-tree book which was scanned and then manually edited. I want to make these nodes in Drupal. I have a converter that converts them into HTML. The resultant is very close to valid HTML and is not too bad in fact. So the task now is to import these files into Drupal. They are hierarchically stored in VolumeX/PageY.html where VolumeX is a folder and PageY.html is the HTML for that page. I have found two options for this import: wgHTML: http://drupal.org/project/wgHTML Import HTML: http://drupal.org/project/import_html The first doesn't actually import apparently, it just runs a real-time search for each page request. Seems non-ideal to me at first glance. The second seems reasonable, but a bit complex to configure and run. My inclination is to try to work with the second module and see if I can get it to work and do the import once on my local Windows PHP5 machine. Any thoughts or advice on this topic? :) Thanks!

Re: [support] Turning off multibyte support?
by Mark Mcdonald 12 Nov '07

php.ini is a global setting you probably don't have access to however you should be able to edit the .htaccess file in your drupal directory. To add a php.ini setting into the .htaccess file add a line like this: php_flag setting value For example in the php.ini file you might have a line like "register_globals = off" which in a .htaccess file would look like "php_flag register_globals off". What you probably want to add is this: php_flag mbstring.http_input auto I'm not sure what the error you're getting means so you might need to look up the correct value from somewhere else. Good luck!

Creating a problem determination guide with drupal
by Wayne Johnson 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Our support organization is trying to create a problem determination guide for our product. What I mean is a "scripted" flow chart that they run through to try and isolate (or even fix) a customer's problem. The biggest issue I see with this is that as a product changes over it's lifetime, the contents of this guide will change. In addition, we'll want this to be developed by the support personal as they gain experience with the product, finding new diagnostic procedures and tools. This is likely something built on a hierarchical database with a bunch of questions like, does this work? Does that error occure? Is there this message in a log? Anyone seen this in Drupal? I know it could probably be built with the book module, just looking for something a bit more fault analysis based. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.

Taxonomy help

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (I seem to have run into trouble with my juggling of multiple e-mail accounts; I apologize if somehow this ends up on the list twice, but I don't think it went through before.) All right, so I'm just starting out with Drupal, so I don't quite know how things work yet, and would appreciate some pointers about how to structure my site. (Excuse the mis-use of terminology that will surely follow.) I'd like to have a small number of pre-defined broad categories (say, Land, Water, and Air), and then parallel to that a hierarchical setup of terms like this: Animals{Vertebrates[Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles], Invertebrates[Worms<Earthworms, Tapeworms>, Sponges, Snails]} Plants{Bushes, Trees[Oak, Pine<Red Pine, White Pine>, Cedar], Green Algae, Sea grasses} Fungi{Mushrooms[Portabello, Shiitake], Yeasts, Eurotium herbariorum} Anyway, you get the idea. There will be a variety of categories here, and each of them can have a number of children, which in turn can have children, etc. This set of terms should be able to be created on the fly by the site's users, since clearly I'm not going to be able to pre-create something like that. They should be able to either create just one low-level tag (like Earthworms in the example), or it and all of the parents necessary to properly categorize it. (Additionally, they may need to create parents and move tags under it, in case another user creates Earthworms standalone before its parents exist and don't bother to make them.) However, the first set will be pre-defined. Only administrators will add to the list of Land, Water, and Air. As you may have noticed, lowest-level items in the hierarchical set will usually fall within only one of the broad groups (ie, Cedar would only be within Land), and this will often also be true of their parents, but it should be possible when necessary to put items or parents in multiple groups for the few occasions when this makes sense. Once this is all done, people should be able to view content by any arrangement of these (ie, a page that lists all Water organisms, a page that lists all Trees, and a page that lists all Vertebrates that life in Water), and "drill down" through the hierarchical parts or go to the parent of the current list, either retaining a group limiter or removing it to view all habitat types. Hopefully someone was able to follow that - any ideas on what I would need to do/use to accomplish that? - Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHM3tqKlAIzV4ebxoRArfLAKCF3EMwXjo8QtLWEZQNTql7TTtVsgCglwBv Z+MIssNPoF8dH+vCjlvBq/A= =j/OK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Simplenews: additional fields
by Edward Peters 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I have researched for hours without finding a solution, and wonder if anyone could help? I need to offer site visitors a chance to subscribe to my e-newsletter, but (a) without signing up to become users, and (b) WITH a few additional fields such as firstname and lastname. The Simplenews module is great, but I do not see how to achieve (b) with it. I have looked at masses of other options but none quite works. Could anyone offer a suggestion? Many thanks, Edward

Views and Exposed Filters?
by Antoine Spadoni 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hello, I am building a search page with *Views* offering users to search either for 1 specific content type or within all content types available for a search. Because I only want the search to be performed on 3 specific content types (and not on other content types such as UserProfile/Story/Page), I defined a *Filter* (on Node Type) for my view and *Exposed* it. Unfortunately when the search is done with the <all> option in the select box, it *does not limit the results* to the 3 content-types defined within the view. The exposed filter bypasses the filter previously defined on node type. Did I forget to code/define anything? What should I do in order to get the * <all>* option in the searchpage to be performed only on the content types defined in my view? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Antoine
