Re: [support] Creating a View inside each UserNode showing that user's content
by Michelle Cox 09 Apr '07

I got it working, but I only have a couple minutes so I'll do a quick explain and more detail tomorrow if you need it. Make sure the tracker view is enabled. Create a file node-usernode.tpl.php and copy the normal node.tpl.php into it. Then add this bit: <?php $usernodeuser = usernode_get_user($node); $view = views_get_view('tracker'); print views_build_view('embed', $view, array($usernodeuser->uid), false, false); ?> If that doesn't make sense, I'll write up more specifically tomorrow. Gotta take care of my son now.

Creating a View inside each UserNode showing that user's content
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

I am using CCK and UserNode and would like to insert a View showing all blog posts and forum posts by that user. I got Insert View module which allows me to insert views inside CCK fields but it's just passing the default values and I don't know how to show "current user's content" I have also used PathAuto to create UserNodes in the format personal/1, personal/2, personal/3, etc Isn't there a way I can use this uid to alter the View in some way, so that it becomes "Forum and blog posts by [uid]". I suspect Arguments is the way to go, but have had no luck with it so far. Thanks for any help you can offer.

slow site: db problems
by Bruno De Bondt 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Hello, We're running Drupal 4.7.6 with the following contrib modules: captcha, contemplate, event, forward, inline, links, pathauto, tagadelic, taxonomy_theme, urlfilter, cck, flexinode, i18n, panels, print, taxonomy_access, textimage, views. We're having a serious database performance issue. Page loads sometimes take several minutes, so does adding or editing content. The top and iostat commands show a very high iowait. iostat -p also tells us that the load is on mysql. So, a couple of questions: - Could there be an obvious problem with our combination of contrib modules? I'll try disabling them to see what each of them might or might not do, but there may be obvious problems ... - In the node table, the vid row is at the bottom. On a fresh Drupal install, I noticed that the vid row is located second (below nid). How bad is this? What's the best way to put the vid row (and its content) back in place again? - I'm thinking this might also relate to another problem we're having: a few weeks ago, our search indexing stopped working. This happened after upgrading from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6. I tried rebuilding the index, but the problem stays. Is it possible that both issues are connected? If more specific info is needed to give advice or help, please ask. Thanks, -- bruno

clean URLs is greyed out
by Miles Fidelman 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

I'm in the middle of a brand new Drupal 4.7.6 install. When I try to enable clean URLs, I find that the radio box is greyed out. The thing is: mod_rewrite seems to be working, and the clean URL test works, and I enabled the path module and gave myself permissions to do everything. Any suggestions? Thanks much, Miles

multisite +OG +CNAME
by Miles Fidelman 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hi Folks, Question from a newbie getting ready to set up a new Drupal installation. I was wondering if it's possible, and if so, how, vector a domain name to an organic group. E.g., www.foo.org CNAME foo.oursite.org www.oursite.org is a server running multiple drupal sites foo.oursite.org is a virtual site running at the same IP address as www.oursite.org when someone tries to go to www.foo.org, we'd like them to end up in an organic group, within foo.oursite.org --- I assume that I set up a site folder for foo.oursite.org within the www.oursite.org tree. Since the user will be entering URLs of the form www.foo.org/... - do I need to have an alias defined so that the foo.oursite.org folder also has the name www.foo.org? What do I need to do to get users vectored to an organic group defined within foo.oursite.org? Thanks very much, Miles

impact of converting db varchars to integers
by melantias toomaate 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi, . To improve Drupal performance, our client has suggested to change the field types from varchars to integers in some tables. A few tables with varchar fields are as follows: node : type permissions : perm node_access : realm blocks_roles : module (It means we are numbering node types from node/comment/page/story to 1/2/3/4..... like that) I guess i need to change the drupal core code as well - if i change the core tables field types. I would like to know whether this is feasible or not. And what would be the impact, if i change the data types of the core tables. Thanks & Regards, T.Melantias

url alias not working?
by will hall 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

hi i am trying to make this url (which is linked in a lot of places) www.freedom-center.org/radio go to this url on our drupal install www.freedom-center.org/section/radio i tried to do this under set url aliases here: Existing system path: http://freedom-center.org/section/radio Specify the existing path you wish to alias. For example: node/28, forum/1, taxonomy/term/1+2. http://freedom-center.org/radio Specify an alternative path by which this data can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work. but it doesn't seem to work? thanks for help -- will

Database : why the type fields are varchars
by melantias toomaate 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, We are going to build a web site using Drupal. I am new to Drupal CMS. While going through the drupal tables, i found that the 'type' field in 'node_type' table is varchar. I am eager to know - why the type fields are varchars instead of integers. I would like to know this because varchars are slow in table joins and searching. I believe there is a specific reason in making the type fields - varchars. Please let me know. Thank you in advance, Regards, T.Melantias, Programmer Analyst, Olive Technology

Calendar view showing updated date, not event start date
by Jody Cleveland 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, I've got a drupal 5.1 site, and I've created a view to display the calendar. Which it does: http://beta.menashalibrary.org/childrens/events But, it's listing those events by their creation/updated date/time rather than the start and end date/time for the event itself. Any ideas how I can fix this? - jody

I know that wget or curl can do this kind of things, thanks. I haven't gone that way yet for two reasons: 1) I really, really couldn't believe that this case (one drupal install for several sites, each one with its own database) had been ignored or forgotten by the developers. I haven't even seen anywhere any official announcement that such a way to use Drupal would have become deprecated with Drupal 5. Did I miss such an announcement? 2) I am not going to play with several *live* websites, risking to mess them up, to make an untested procedure work. Not until there is the slightest possibility that a tested way to make this upgrade comes up (I can't obtain more databases right now on that server). Is it at least possible to know for *sure*, before trying it, if running that procedure through ONE of the websites currently managed by Drupal 4.7.6 will upgrade all the others?
