Clean URLs.
by Matthew Ridge 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Ok here is my issue: 1. Clean URLs are not working correctly at all. a. I use Netfirms as my host, they only allow: AuthType ErrorDocument RewriteEngine Redirect Options IndexOptions IndexIgnore * b. I have the site set up so if you type http://www.cyberpawz.com/ myblog you can go to it, I also have it set up so you can type in blog.cyberpawz.com When I click on Run the Clean URL Test, It works on http://www.cyberpawz.com/myblog, but it doesn't when I click on blog.cyberpawz.com. c. When I click on the Run the Clean URL test using http:// www.cyberpawz.com/myblog the Clean URL's Radio buttons are still dimmed, I can neither Enable or Disable. d. When I click on the Run the Clean URL test using blog.cyberpawz.com I get a page that says The requested URL /myblog/ index.php was not found on this server. Now my questions are this. Why doesn't the enable or disable buttons work after getting the clean URL to be checked? Why doesn't the page show up correctly using blog.cyberpawz.com at all, although the main page and everything else will work that way without issue? Am I missing something in my htaccess file?

Pages show up blank
by Jody Cleveland 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hello, I have a site that I've done in drupal 5.1, and when I'm logged in, everything looks fine. If I'm not, all the pages are blank. Sometimes, if I refresh the screen, it'll show up. But, if I click on the links, they're blank again. I checked the access rules, and anonymous users can access content. I checked the log files, and there aren't any areas. I'm stumped. Any ideas what may be wrong? - jody

If you've installed any access control modules (TAC/Forum access) - these make changes to the node_access table. It's worth checking that it's got one line with something like realm/all, view/1 - otherwise you might need to rebuild it.

TinyMCE editor very small
by Jody Cleveland 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hello, I've got Drupal 5.1, with tinymce, the latest version. Every time I create new content, the editable area for the content is a quarter inch. So, I have to manually expand the editor area every time I create or edit content. Is there a way to set a default height for that? - jody

Re: [support] File Attachment Maintenace [Solved]
by Chris McKeever 14 Mar '07

Think I figured it out once I understood things a bit more. A file is attached to a revision of a node, not to the node 'delete' pretty much says 'remove this from the next revision' so the file still exists in the db and the filesystem, so if you revert revs, it will be there. to 'delete' the file from drupal and the filesystem, you need to remove any node revision that it is attached to ... makes sense in the revisioning mindset - not very clear when you think of file management -- but it could only be one or the other I suppose - Thanks On 3/14/07, Chris McKeever <cgmckeever(a)gmail.com> wrote: > a litle more info after some testing... > > The 'magic' connector between files and nodes is through the > file_revisions table. > So I can figure out why some files get listed and some do not. > > The next issue now is, why when I delete a file from the admin > interface, the revision history gets deleted from the table, but the > 'file' table entry does not get deleted, nor does the file within in > filesystem ? > > I am running this as the admin account, the permissions of the > filesystem allow the creation as the apache user, but it isnt > deleting. > > Thanks > > > On 3/14/07, Chris McKeever <cgmckeever(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > I deleted a file from the node that it was uploaded to, however, it > > still exists in the /files directory. > > > > Looking at the SQL schema, it appears that the file sitll has an entry > > in the 'files' table, however it doesnt appear to be listed on the > > node. > > > > I haven't found the magic trick which tells drupal that a file has > > been removed from a node... > > > > So -- > > > > A) are files supposed to be purged once they are deleted from the node? > > B) how does the node know which file to list - is there a bit field somewhere? > > > > Thanks > > >

File Attachment Maintenace
by Chris McKeever 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

I deleted a file from the node that it was uploaded to, however, it still exists in the /files directory. Looking at the SQL schema, it appears that the file sitll has an entry in the 'files' table, however it doesnt appear to be listed on the node. I haven't found the magic trick which tells drupal that a file has been removed from a node... So -- A) are files supposed to be purged once they are deleted from the node? B) how does the node know which file to list - is there a bit field somewhere? Thanks

Odd behaviour with sub-menus and replication of left sidebar items
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

I am using Garland in 5.1 I have my Primary links up in the top right turned on. I created a new parent item called "MySite" which had the same url (user/me) as the default "My Account" menu item. It appeared in the top right but then I'm unable to add any child items to it at all. Another oddity. When I created it with the URL user/1, the My Account link disappeared from the left on its own accord. Then when I added Edit Profile as a child item with the URL user/1/edit, it did get added as a child and I did go to the edit profile page BUT there were TWO Edit Profile tabs there (next to the usual Track and Contact tabs), each with identical URLs. In short, is there any documentation concerning sub-menus on drupal.org, specifically menu items that replicate what's already in the main "navigation" sidebar? Is this a Garland problem or does creating Primary Links with default system URLs (user/me, user/me/edit, etc) cause some type of conflict in drupal? I wanted to turn of the default My Account item on the left sidebar but found it was "locked" so not even that's possible. Thanks for reading all of this! :-) Neil

Themed frontpage without $sidebar_right
by Mattias Hällkvist 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

I'm trying to set different front page for anonymous and authenticated users using the front page module <http://drupal.org/project/front>. I'd like the frontpage to have the header but not the right sidebar. In page.tpl.php the right sidebar is defined as $sidebar_right. So I thought that I could add code to check if the url is domain.com/front_page and then not print $sidebar_right. Or some other solution that doesn't print the right sidebar on the front_page. I'm a php novice but I'm learning.. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks! /Mattias

views (menu-items for views) available on certain conditions
by Bèr Kessels 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hello I have a view (table listing certain nodes) wich appears on /node/123/applications its path is /node/$arg/applications if $node 123 is of type Foo, the page /node/123/applications makes sense, for all other types it does not. I would like to know if I can make that view 'active' or accessible, or appear as a tab, for only the node types where $node->type of 132 is 'Foo'. An alternative could be to not show the menu-item if the view is empty. Note, that I am not looking at filters or arguments. Filters and arguments only define what nodes appear in the table on the /node/123/applications, they don't dictate wether the view is available. Its for Drupal 4.7.

High values for Sort_scan and Select_full_join
by Adam Gaffin 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

What might cause these and what, if anything, should I try to do about them? I ask because the log page they're on says they should both be zero. Thanks! -- Adam Gaffin
