problems dispatching mail to group forum
by Stefan Seefeld 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello, I'm trying to configure my drupal site to allow users to mail to (organic group) forums directly, so I have added a mailbox, and set the 'default commands' to be: type: forum og_group: [1] tid: 4 However, when testing it, the incoming mail will result in a new page, not a forum post. Any idea what I'm doing wrong ? (Strangely, originally the mail triggered a warning / error in the log about the given mail address not being allowed to create forum topics, which looked as if the commands would actually work.) Any help would be highly appreciated, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

How do I stop Drupal from running my callback twice? | drupal.org
by Eric McKenna 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I posted this on the module developers forum but no one had an answer so I'm trying again here: Here's my problem. Basically, I have form, on submission the form calls it's _submit function (mytest_form_submit), basic Forms API stuff. The _submit function returns a contructed URL to another callback in the system. I'm using a block with a form on it, and just putting the block in one of the columns. Now, Using the form from any page except the forms' results page works fine. After submission you are redirected with the return value from mytest_form_submit, to a results page. You can view the original post here, http://drupal.org/node/162054, it has my sample code which makes the issue easier to understand (i hope anyway :) Eric.

Custom module uninstall() hook
by Vasileios Lourdas 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello, I've been developing a module for a Drupal 5.2 site of mine. The module creates two additional database tables, during the installation procedure. My question is: In case I want to disable the module and then uninstall it, I would like to ask the user if he would like the tables dropped or not. Can something like this be done in the uninstall() hook? What I would like is to prompt the user with an option "Do you want the tables dropped?" and according to his input, the corresponding action would be performed. Regards, -- # Vasileios Lourdas, # Informatics Engineer, Thessaloniki (Greece) # http://www.lourdas.name

hierarchy constraint
by paola.dimaio＠gmail.com 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

We are implementing categories/taxonomy Have created a few parent cats with relevant children and subchildren Still working with the content architecture, and experimenting a little on how to best balance a simple site structure and the free tagging etc. I have noticed that we can now post stories directly to the child category, without any association being made to the parent category. assume INTERNET -----------CONTENT MANAGEMENT -------------------------------------OPEN SOURCE CMS --------------------------------------------------------------DRUPAL I can post a story directly to the 'drupal category' but it will not appear (made visible, displayed, associated with) the parent categories. I think this is wrong. I would like to suggest an (optional) feature to provide a constraint to 'enforce the hiearchy' - in the categories/taxonomy module, so that selecting a child category will automatically result in all the parents to inherit the item by default While an experienced 'editor' may be trained to carry out this manualy as a routine opration wen posting (tick also the parents), it would be desireable to be able to automat that Before I make this a feature request, I'd like to know what people think thanks PDM

greets and HELP
by paola.dimaio＠gmail.com 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Greeting to all, respectable Drupal community we finally made it - well almost It has been a couple of years of me pinging various people, from Julian, to Moshe, to Fabio and others - can you help me migrate content-wire for me? It kind of never happened But now, thanks to Mike, its almost done - and some issues with it We still have a few things that need doing/improving, optmimizing and making better but were about to go live (dreamhost seemed very slow, so we are now changing to another host and the files should be up by tomorrow) when horror happened. I was updating the blocks to organize them by weight, just before we switched DNS and shift some of the stuff from the left to the right, when all of the blocks disappeared, inlcuding my own login, navigation etc see now content-wire.paoladimaio.com The result is that now I am stuck out of my site ! But I did not do anything, promise! We also need help in making sure that we are doing things properly, as I have no way of telling (I am not a programmer) and Mike may not be entirely familiar with all the modules etc - we need the experience from this forum to help us do a smooth migration (today>) Also, a few things I have heard contrasting opinions on, so I guess some issues can be addressed in more than one way, and I would like to hear the arguments Finally, I am in no position to contribute code, but if anything that I do as a customization is useful to others, I ll be happy to have it released. I ll post the hierarchy constraint feature separately. So, to start with, what happened to the blocks, why did everything disappear? how can we fix it, and how can we prevent it from happening again? Mike says he can work at this again in the next couple of days, but I cant wait thanks a lot.... PDM *********************************************

expandable menu
by Morten Holmstrup 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi, I need to make a horisontal main menu that is expandable on click. Kinda like the one they use on flickr for example - you know: a list of menu items with a little arrow, and when you click it, the item reveals the sublinks. Sounds very simple, but I've been trying for a few days now to incorporate all kinds of scripts into drupal, but without luck. Could some kind soul pleeeease help me with a few pointers? thanks for listening! cheers Morten

trying to use php to create multi-lingual CCK select lists
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

I want a drop down "Hobbies" list in my node profile that I'm using CCK to create. Unfortunately, I discovered that "Manage Strings" in Localization can't help me to translate that select list, so now I'm looking at using PHP in the Allowed Values section. So far I have this: global $user; $HobbiesEnglish = array (1 => One, 2 => Two, 3 => Three, 4 => Four); $HobbiesItaliano = array (1 => Uno, 2 => Due, 3 => Tre, 4 => Quattro); if ($Language->language == "it") { return $HobbiesItaliano; } else { return $HobbiesEnglish; } Just trying to get the English and Italian numbers showing up before going the whole hog! The language conditional statement is working fine on another part of the site, but I can only get the English numbers appearing for now. thanks in advance Neil

Rendering views filters as checkboxes and radio buttons, instead of select boxes and drop down menus
by Zohar Stolar 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi, <a href="http://drupal.org/node/138374#comment-276845">This patch</a> to the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/formtweaker">Formtweaker</a> module, modifies views filters, so they render as checkboxes and radio buttons, instead of select boxes and drop down menus. This is quite important, from th usability point of view (many people don't know how to properly use select boxes). Currently there is no way for a user to choose between rendering an exposed filter as checkboxes/radio buttons, or as the default select boxes. How is it done? How do I add this condition (as a checkbox in the exposed filter section I guess) to the views ui? Thanks, Zohar (ps: I posted this question on groups.drupal.org, but had no reply)
