Ical feed from Google Calendar really wonky
by Bob Salsburg 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Nothing fancy. One Google calendar. Copied feed URL from Google & entered the feed URL in appropriate field. Result: 1) Not all events appear; actually less than half. Some recurring, some not. Some in a recurring sequence appear while others don't. No rhyme or reason. 2) Most, but not all (?) events are 5 hours ahead. 3) most, but not all, events are displayed in 24 hour time. I prefer AM/PM. History: The original Google Calendar was populated with an ICS file created from Macintosh iCal. I guess my question is: Is there more to this than described above? Drupal is 5.12, PHP is 5.0.97 Community. SQL, I am not sure, but it is recent if not latest and greatest. Hosted solution. Necessary modules were downloaded from the links on http://drupal.org/node/133341. Bob

Turning off automatic line breaking
by Roy Smith 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Is there any way to turn off the line-breaking part of the "Lines and paragraphs break automatically" feature? I often copy-and-paste text from sources which into drupal edit boxes and having it turn all the returns into br tags is a pain. Most of the time, what I'd like to see is all single returns turned into a single space and all multiple returns (i.e. blank lines) turned into paragraph breaks. ---------------- Roy Smith roy(a)panix.com

Domain Access uninstalling OG
by Christopher M. Jones 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I'm having some difficulty with Domain Access after removing OG. Before I installed OG, I had content displaying on only the selected subdomains. I applied the multiple node access patch, and then I enabled OG. As soon as og was enabled, content was getting displayed on -all- subdomains. Try as I might, I could not correct this. So, deciding that I did not need OG after all, I decided to uninstall it and put everything back. Problem is, I can't seem get it back the way it was. I tried: Clearing page cache Removing all OG tables Rebuilding node access permissions in post settings. I'm using D5. I'd appreciate some help troubleshooting this. Am I missing any steps?

can't reorder blocks after upgrade from 5 to 6
by Jody Cleveland 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I recently upgraded from Drupal 5.12 to 6.6 and now I'm unable to rearrange block order. I click and drag blocks to where I want them, and as soon as I save it reverts back to the way it was. I tried a new site within drupal 6, and that works fine so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the upgrade. Any ideas what may be wrong? - jody

Drupal sudo
by Christopher M. Jones 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Is there a module that enables me to switch user and / or role without logging out and back in? The one aspect of D development that bugs me most is logging in and out to test permissions settings and whatnot. I looked on drupal.org and didn't see anything. Maybe I missed it.

Limit a sidebar menu to appearing on certain pages
by Emma Badger 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I've created a custom content (business directory) that utilises the taxonomy menu and I've created a page called Business Directory which is in the primary menu. I'd like the business directory taxonomy menu only to appear on the new business directory page and of course the pages that display the business directory entries. http://lechladeonline.co.uk/ Can someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks.

Drupal 6 admin menus not saving
by Emma Badger 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I have a copy of Drupal on the web and a local copy which is a copy of the code and the database. The local copy seems ok, but the web copy won't save changes to menus. There are no error messages, nothing in the log, the menu just reloads as it was, without the changes. This is the first time I've made changes to the menu, so I don't know if it every worked. I'm new to Drupal so I don't even know where to start looking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

unable to install views properly
by jo 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

hello again, next problem, next chance :-) i had now a dozen tries to install and deinstall the views-module in drupal 6.6 with many different ways - just deleting the folder (maybe not that good..), deactivating it and deleting the folder, removing it in the databse, installing it again and deinstall it with the deinstalltion-routine in the modules-area - but everytime i end up with these problems: - activating the views-module hangs indefinitly at "import of the surface-translation" <--(which is a direct translation from german to english, i don't know how this is called in the original english-surface) refreshing the site brings me back to the homepage and i have to log-in again. the views-module is now activated, but it is impossible to activate views_UI: trying it with /admin/build/modules says "site not reachable" and doesn't activate it, and when i activate it with phpmyadmin, i am no longer possible to reach /admin/build/modules.. any ideas? :-jo

Re: [support] Getting to the Base URL

Hi Derek, I posted the code block in. Upon restart of httpd, it returns: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/html/drupal] does not exist Once I have done this, I can no longer see test.html, test.php. It returns a 403/forbidden. Also, /drupal/index.php gives a 403/Forbidden as well. I know that /var/www/html/drupal does exist because I can go there in the terminal window.
