big question: integrate phpbb + drupal user logins?
by will hall 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

hi all, we have drupal and phpbb running side by side but as distinct creatures with their own databases and logins and usernames. we would like to not use drupal forums but continue to use the phpbb forums. we do need however to have a single username and password for both. so when someone registers for drupal, or registers for phpbb, there is a single username and password that will log them in to drupal and phpbb. we don't necessarily need for them to be logged in to both with one login screen, we just need them to be able to use both with the same username and password. any ideas on how to do this? right now we have 2 usernames and 2 passwords for everyone who is using both the forums and the drupal site. it is confusing, especially to new members, and helping people sort this out now represents the biggest portion of our incoming admin@ mail. viva drupal, -- will

events module: show current day on upcoming block
by will hall 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

hey all, we have the events module installed and it works fine, except that the Upcoming Events block does not display an event on the same day. That is to say, in the Upcoming Events block, if the actual date is April 4 it will display events happening on April 5th, but once April 5th rolls around that event will not be displayed. any way to fix this so the block will display events on the same day?

Upgrade broke users somehow
by Grandmother Spider 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Upgraded from 4.6.x to 4.7.6--yes, a version behind. I like versions when they're nice and stable and boring. Now no one can log in--existing users are not recognized. Users who were already logged in cannot post either blogs or comments. The user tables are still there.

simulating folders with indexing
by Fabio Varesano 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hi everybody, I would like to create a site which contains a list of products. I need to put each product into only one category. I would like to simulate the presence of folders with indexing. Let me show you an example: I need to insert a node called 'Pizza with Cheese'. A category tree is available like this: food > italian food > pizzas When I choose the Pizzas category during the node creation I would like to automatically create the url for the node like: http://example.com/food/italian_food/pizzas/pizza_with_chees Moreover I would like that on the 'Pizza with Cheese' page a breadcrumb shows something like 'Food > italian food > pizzas'. I also would like that each of the urls: http://example.com/food/ http://example.com/food/italian_food/ http://example.com/food/italian_food/pizzas/ could display list of nodes inserted into them. I know there are different modules with similar functions (pathauto, taxonomy_breadcrumbs) however I was not able to configure them to what I explained above. Could someone guide me into deploy something similar to what I described? This should be an often requested deployment for SEO. Thanks, Fabio Varesano

how to add links as content types or nodes?
by will hall 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

is there anyway for users to add links as a small node, like you do in delicious, so that links become content and can be displayed on a 'weblinks' page, tagged, etc. using page nodes is unwieldy. hand coding the html is what we are doing now on a 'weblinks' page but this is impossible for users to contribute to. ideally we'd like to be able to search links, have a teaser for the links, etc. i think plone has a links-as-content feature. thanks for help! - will

Split content
by Reynier Perez Mira 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

It's possible split the content of one var? For example in comments page the var $links (I think) come with this: delete | edit | reply but. Some client ask me for some different icons in this links so I need add some class to this elements for later play with them using CSS. So ... It's possible?

Install script does not appear
by Ron Siven 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Okay, I give up. I just installed Drupal 5.1 on a fresh FC6 install with: MySQL 5.0 PHP 5.1.6 Apache 2.2.3 I followed the instructions : - change httpd.conf: - DocumentIndex index.php index.html - AddType test/html .shtml php - create an empty database, - set browser to the base URL All I get is a blank page. If I go to http://www.mydomain.com/install.php, Firefox tries to download it. If I let it download, it is just an empty file. I think Apache, MySQL and PHP are all installed correctly, but i don't know how to get to the Drupal install script. I would be happy to provide more information at anyone's request. Thanks! Ron
