Strange behaviour with same page in two different dir
by Davide Michel 'ZioBudda' Morelli 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi all. I have this file located in / (root of my website) : <? require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); global $user; print_r($user); $page = "io sono la pagina"; echo theme('page',$page); ?> And this page works like without problem (the output is my "user" data). Now I have this page located in /subdir1 (of my website): <? chdir(".."); require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); global $user; print_r($user); $page = "io sono la pagina"; echo theme('page',$page); ?> But this page does not work like I expect it: the user is anonymous and not my "user logged in". Why this ? Note the the only different is "chdir('..');" Tnx. -- Michel 'ZioBudda' Morelli michel(a)ziobudda.net Consulenza sistemistica in ambito OpenSource.

Translating table view headers
by Idan Arbel 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hello, I'm trying to translate the headers a table created from a table view. I've added this code into my template.php file: function enhunchbaque_views_view_table_shows($view, $nodes, $type) { $header = array(); foreach ($view->field as $field) { $temp = $field['label']; $cell['data']=t("$temp"); $cell['class']=$field['header']; drupal_set_message("<pre>" . print_r($temp,true) . "</pre>"); $header[] = $cell; } $fields = _views_get_fields(); foreach ($nodes as $node) { $row = array(); foreach ($view->field as $field) { $cell['data'] = views_theme_field('views_handle_field', $field['queryname'], $fields, $field, $node, $view); $cell['class']='view-field-'.$field['queryname']; $row[] = $cell; } $rows[] = $row; } return theme('table', $header, $rows, array('class' => 'show-table')); } The code seems to run fine. The thing that I changed is this part $temp = $field['label']; $cell['data']=t("$temp"); I'm trying to get the headers translated using translate strings, but they don't appear when I search. Am I doing something wrong? Idan

Making links out of all the fields in a view
by Idan Arbel 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hello, I'm trying to take a list view and have all the fields act as links to the main node. For the title field I can choose it from the views ui, but for date, and text fields I can't. Anyone know how I can manage to turn all the fields into links?

Comments Heading Displayed When No Comments Entered
by killshot91＠comcast.net 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I created a custom content type that is the basic node type with one additional text field, and comments are enabled. When the node is displayed, the "Comments" heading is shown, even when there are no comments. Call me crazy, but isn't that header not supposed to display if there are no comments entered yet? Thanks. Steve

Create api for interface with an application
by Davide Michel 'ZioBudda' Morelli 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi all. I need to create a simil-gateway from Drupal to application X and from application X to Drupal. In other words I have an application (an ecommerce) and I want to interact in double-way (Drupal to ecomm and ecomm to Drupal) with it. For example: ecommerce's users are the drupal'user so I need to write an api (called from ecommerce) that get the user information, make login, make logout, etc etc. I have tried to create and call (via browser, after a login in Drupal) a file like this: <?php include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); print_r($user); ?> but the result is that the "uid" is 0. Why ? Does anyone can give me some type of RTFM ?

Blocks & Views help
by Tony Yarusso 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I've been trying various things for a few days now, and while I'm making a little bit of progress, it's not going nearly as well as I'd hoped, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. We're trying to make a site that has user blogs (already done, of course), where each of the individual blogs will display some extra information in the sidebar like you would find in blog-oriented things like Blogger or WordPress (what I'm having trouble with). I've figured out block visibility, but now I'm having trouble getting the logic to pull the right user info. On 'blog/username', the sidebar should be able to display the following items: * Fields from username's profile (provided by the Profile module) * The picture (avatar) for username * A list of the five most recent posts by username of type blog. * Either a visual calendar (such as is provided site-wide by the Archive module) or list of months (as provided sitewide by http://drupal.org/node/52037) showing when posts where made (and how many in each time period), BUT only dealing with posts by username, again of type blog (not all posts). * A "blogroll" of links if desired by the user. This is taking a bit longer than I can really afford to invest right now, so if you could help me out with whatever will be an efficient way of accomplishing that it would be much appreciated. (Note: I have started reading about modules, blocks, and views, but have only a scant understanding so far.) -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/

That would be great if ImageCache was working, but it seems to be having problems lately (http://drupal.org/node/208670) I've used it myself in the past and have liked it, but for some reason it isn't working for a number of people.

HTML Help Won't Go Away After Toggling it Off
by Shai Gluskin 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Dupral Supporters! HTML help won't go for Filtered HTML Input Format even after I have unchecked the box at: /admin/settings/filters/1/configure [Interesting that none of the other imput formats that I have installed seem to have a toggle like that to turn off the display of the formatting instructions.] The use-case is one in which the the user must use TinyMCE (I like to torture our users -- heh -heh) to input content in the body field. HTML Help not only clutters the page, but could mislead someone to actually type in some of the approved html into the editing box. Note that if a user inputs "<strong>" TinyMCE will output this to to the Drupal db as: "<strong&gt". Argh. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Shai

capitalization bug in menus
by Roy Smith 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

I made a menu item whose title was "Members only (login required)". It comes out in the menu as "Members Only (login Required)" [note capitalization]. It looks like what's happening is its trying to make each word into initial caps, where word is defined as being delimited by whitespace. The third word is "(login", and it's trying to upper-case the "(" instead of the "l". Once I realized what was going on, it was easy to change the menu title to have the "correct" capitalization, but this looks like a minor bug which should get corrected. -- roy(a)panix.com
