XML Sitemap
by A-NO-NE Music 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi all, Durupal5.1 It has been a few month since I made my site public with XML Sitemap module. Google and other search engines still don't make a hit even though I see these under Log : Site map successfully submitted to <google etc>. and Site map index downloaded by Google. I see them periodically for quite sometime. It must be something wrong how I configured? I have my bio page set to XML Override to 1, and I think it is correct. I want to remove my old site but I can't do it until I get all the search engine hits my new site. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com>

Creating a static archive of drupal site ("base" directive gets in the way)
by Cheryl Chase 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I would like to create a static html archive of my drupal site (on a regular basis, for corporate compliance reasons related to documenting previous states of the publicly published information). I have referred to the drupal manual page at http://drupal.org/node/ 27882. But I have two problems (because I am simply archiving a snapshot of the site, not retiring it, so I don't want to interfere with the normal, drupal-based, dynamic operation). 1. When I use any of the download tools (wget, sitesucker, I've not yet tried httrack) to download the site, the function drupal_get_html_head in file includes/common.inc outputs a directive ". This causes the downloaded pages to contain links which try to open the original site on the Internet, rather than the local file copy. 2. I would like to be logged in as a special user, named "archive", which is configured specially for archive purposes. For instance, it has no permission to search; it displays a custom block that tells that this is an archived version of the website, and states the date on which it was archived, etc. This works for me when I manually login as user "archive". How to get a downloading tool to login as a drupal user (they are good at http authentication, but have no understanding of drupal authentication). Thanks, Cheryl

What I do is I have a catch all forwarder on my domain and then I can make up any email and it forwards to my main email.

swf tools, flv on other domain
by Richard Bennett 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, I setup the swftools module and all works fine. Now I would like to host the flv files on a faster server, I have tried adding : $conf = array( 'swftools_media_url' => 'http://flvsite.com' ); to my settings.php file, but the movies won't load. I figured that flash might be restricted to loading flvs from the same domain, so I put the whole flash_media_player directory on the other host, and set the Default flash player path to : http://flvsite.com/flash_media_player and I tried http://flvsite.com but the File handling page alsays shows Flash Media Player - Jeroen Wijering - Missing Does anyone know the best procedure for hosting flvs on a remote server? Or should i try one of the many other media modules? Thanks.

Menu Shennanigans - Hide parents & their siblings (yep, I'm confused too)
by Rob Wilmshurst 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

** Apologies if this has been sent twice; my mail has been up and down all day ** Howdy-ho, I've got some subsidiary pages that all belong to a 'Subsidiary Links' menu. Something like: SUBSIDIARY LINKS --About Us --Contact Us --Environmental Responsibility ----What we do ----How can you help ----Al Gore ------Al Gore! Al Gore! --Drive More SUVs --Nuke The Whales --Just Kidding Anyway, you get the idea. Rather than show this entire menu on every subsidiary page (there will eventually be a *lot* of these pages, I'd like to just show the current branch and its parent (going down as many levels as required), hiding the parent's siblings: Environmental Responsibility --What we do <<-- CURRENT PAGE --[snip] Erm, how is this done? I've looked through the API and it's pretty incomprehensible (to me at least) how to do this programatically. I've also tried the menu_trim module, which goes one step too far and loses the parent link (the only way to get 'back' to another section). I tried fiddling with the menu_trim module (specifically, altering its trimming to start at the parent, not the current item), but that unleashed hell and brought out the parent of the Subsidiary Links menu. Argh! Thanks for the help, Rob -- Rob Wilmshurst drupal(a)fifteenoclock.com

multiple users with same email address
by Jean Gazis 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

I usually create more than one user account when developing a site so I can test different user roles and so on. However, there are a finite number of email addresses I have and can easily check, and one has to be the site's from address. Is there a way to let multiple user id's share an email address? If not, what's the best way to manage this? -- Jean Gazis www.jeangazis.com www.boxofrain.us "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." - André Gide

5 minutes of your time - Test a short script on unusual server setups.
by Heine Deelstra 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Hello, I'm looking for people with certain server configurations to supply some information for me. The work, which consist of running a short script twice and emailing the results, could be done in under 5 minutes. I need test results of - Apache + PHP as cgi (not fastcgi) - IIS + PHP as cgi - Xitami + PHP in whatever configuration supported I believe anyone with Windows XP Pro has a copy of IIS. Feel free to participate if you have other 'esotheric' server setups that still run Drupal. Please contact me directly at hdeelstra(a)gmail.com if you have one of the above server configurations and are willing to lend me a hand improving Drupal. Regards, Heine Deelstra
