Subsection links
by Tony Yarusso 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi, I'm looking for a way to split up the navigation portion of a site in Drupal, to match the current static site. However, I don't know enough about the inner workings of the menu system to know the best way to approach it. The way it is statically, there is a high-level menu with links to 6 sections of the site. Below that whole chunk, listed completely separately, are the links to the different pages within the current section. You can see what I mean at http://www.stmichaelselca.org/edu_senior_high.html, on the left. How would I go about accessing those two separate pieces, for putting them into a theme? I'm not really familiar with all of the page variables available yet, but I don't think I've seen anything yet that quite addresses this case. (While we're at it, I need to know how to assign a class to both the current section and the current page within the section, as they are styled differently.) -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/

I spotted this on another list and thought it might be of interest here. Please spread as seems appropriate. For further information, do not respond to me, or to this list, but rather, consult the relevant URL in this announcement: "ALA is planning to move its current Online Communities service to a Drupal environment during the next few months, so we've posted an RFP for the project at http://blogs.ala.org/ittsupdate.php . Please help us publicize this to relevant groups so that we get as many responses as possible.

Assigning project issues
by Tony Yarusso 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

I installed the Project and Project Issue modules yesterday, but it seems I can only assign an issue to myself or nobody. What do I need to do to be able to assign an issue to any user? -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/

translation views using localizer
by Idan Arbel 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hello, I'm having trouble translating views using localizer, how do I translate the headers and other texts? Also I've noticed that when viewing view pages using ie and firefox, I get different results. Ie seems to only show nodes in the appropriate language, while firefox shows everything. Idan

Re: [support] Drupal CAS Configuration
by Scott Matthews 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Yes. We're making a customized version based on the cas module. We basically do not want the user to have to forward to the login page. So David, I tried your suggestion and what I'm seeing is: I go to to the admin page not being authenticated and attempt to login as my admin when I submit, the resulting page is not the admin page with the options available to me but rather my site's home page with the url as ' http://[domain_name]/?destination=admin ' any Ideas?

Drupal CAS Configuration
by Scott Matthews 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Has anyone had much experience with the Drupal CAS module? I'm attempting to use it for an SSO implementation by integrating it into a site that I am developing where there is a central CAS server that will manage the users for all other sites we have. This Central CAS server will have access to a central repository of user login informaiton. The issue that I'm seeing is that there are a few specific users that I have that will be maintained by Drupal and when I attempt to Login as those users, it does not seem to authenticate me. Is this possible to have it set up this way? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Planet module w/avatars
by Tony Yarusso 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

The description for the planet module (http://drupal.org/project/planet) claims "This provides the benefit of showing avatars with content", but after installing it I can't find an option to turn that on. What I would like to do is resize user pictures to a particular size, and display them next to their posts in the aggregation page, similar to http://planet.ubuntu.com/ and http://planet.debian.org/. Does anyone know what I would need to do for that? -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/

FAPI and "returned" page
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

_submit and _validate get the form in a ordinate way... but they don't output anything on screen. Suppose I want to do something as stupid as multiplying 2 fields and return the output on screen without having to save the 2 fields somewhere... as if _submit was not going to return a path but just use $form_values in spite of $_POST and output something... I gave a look at how search works and at a quick glance it looks not suited. Up to my understanding it parse keys and then _submit append it to a url. thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Calendar view seems to be working in GMT
by Roy Smith 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

I've got the calendar view module working on my site (http://hyc- test.org/calendar/), but there's one strange thing I can't figure out. It acts as if it were running on GMT. Right now, it's 8:53 PM EST on Feb 3rd, but my calendar view is showing Feb 4th as the current day (which it is, in GMT). Obviously, I've got something messed up with timezones, but I can't figure out what. Any clues where I should be looking? -- roy(a)panix.com
