How to patch petition module for Drupal 5,x
by Albert Cuesta 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi I need to setup an urgent petition in my Drupal 5.x community site, but I see the petition module is only available for Drupal 4.7 at: http://drupal.org/project/petition I have also noticed there is some kind of 5.x patch at: http://drupal.org/node/127808 However, I'm not familiar with patching modules at all, so I would ask someone knowledgeable to help me with this. I posted a support request some time ago at http://drupal.org/node/181275, but I didn't get any replies. If the above is not possible, can somebody suggest some quick and dirty alternative to petition using other modules? Thanks in advance -------------------------------------------------------------------- Albert Cuesta

This is slightly off-topic from the original post so I'm changing the subject.

That's especially true if you use an account that is granted a role that has all permissions on a site - that account is just as vulnerable to most of the security problems listed on that page. The only thing that the "user 2 with all privileges" setup gets you is a small amount of protection on security holes/actions in the update.php file. But if you have a "user 2 with all privileges" then that person probably has access to php input format and can do a lot of damage to your site (which is worth a reminder: if you don't need it then disable the php input format).

Installation of Drupal 5.5 Complete
by Tom Holmes Jr. 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

In the interest of solving the issue: With the same version of Resin/Drupal and MySQL, the installation on my laptop worked, but the one on the shared server did not. Actually, both installations worked initially .... it was the modules that screwed me up. On my laptop I untarred the files under the user name, so of course when you untar a module, it gets the same user id and group id as it was when it was tarred. On my laptop I moved the resulting directories to /sites/all/modules/module_name and as a result, they got the right name and username and group permissions. On the shared server ... I took a slightly different tact. I moved the tarballs to /sites/all/modules and then untarred them there .... but then failed to change the username and group permissions to the same username and group that belong to all the other files. Ultimately ... yeah, I did go off the "main path" ... but with the new Resin 3.1.4 and Drupal 5.5, and the modules set with the same username and group permissions ... everything is working 100% perfectly. Thanks for all the help!

Making menu items based on categories visible by role
by Steve Edwards 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I have a CCK type the uses Filefield plugin that is used to upload documents to the site. I have created a taxonomy category and assigned it to the Document type. Certain roles can access each category. What I would like to do is have a Documents top level menu, and then one submenu item for each category. Each person that logs in would only have the menu items visible that are allowed for their role. How can I do this? Is it possible to do it with one view with an argument, or do I need to create a separate view for each category and limit access from within the view? Or is there another way to do it? Thanks. Steve

In addition to the original problem description, I've also noticed that for entries made without the box, the breadcrumb only says forums, no categories showing after that at all. I tried to find the time frame for when this happened. It appears to have occurred around the time when, in trying to troubleshoot another problem, I had disabled then re-enabled all modules, including the forum module. I wonder if that could have something to do with this happening? I found a forum message on Drupal.org mentioning something about this, but they had no lists at all for the forums area. Not sure if that's relevant or not. These are cleaned up entries from the modules list and have version info as well as their purpose and dependencies are there also.

How to create "index" pages of content
by Errol Sayre 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi, I'm still very new to Drupal and am trying to figure out how to set things up. I'd like to have "index" pages for my content types. For instance "podcasts/" where it lists all my podcast audio content, and a "gallery/" where it lists all my image gallery items, etc. How do I do this? I've been able to kinda do what I want using a URL alias to a taxonomy term/category but this isn't ideal, because my terms are not necessarily exclusive (i.e. a photo may come from a podcast recording session and be tagged podcast). I'm sure this is really simple but I seem to be missing.
