[Fwd: HTML displayed as text]
by Steve Edwards 24 Mar '08

Well, I figured out that what I needed to do was to pass the $html parameter as TRUE to the l() function. The next problem is creating the path for the src parameter in the <img> tag. I want to make it dynamic and use $base_path and $directory, but they don't seem to be available within my mytheme_menu_links() function. Is there a way to make them available within the function? Thanks.

I've overridden the theme_menu_links() function in template.php, and it looks like what I need to do is replace $link['title'] with the <img> tag. To do this, I added this line to the function: $link['title'] = "<img src=\"images/btn_home.jpg\">"; However, the whole tag is displayed as text on the page, and when I view source, this is what I see for the link: <li><a href="/drupal57/" title="Home page" class="active"><img src='images/btn_home.jpg'></a></li> I don't understand this, because in other places in the function, that is how tags are written out in the code. What do I need to change to get the actual quotes and < > symbols written out correctly? Thanks. Steve

by Huisi Wang 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi there, I'm using drupal-5.2, and using cck for the overview of the homepage. I want to set up a blog, nothing of blog would be showed on homepage. I want to configure the number of posts on homepage of blog. I can just find 'number of posts on main page' in 'post setting'. I don't want to change the setting. How can I set the number of blog posts and 'length of trimmed posts'? Thanks, Huisi

CCK fields being created as separate tables in the db
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

I've been pulling my hair out about this for two hours. I have made a nodeprofile content type and am using cck fields to build it. All the fields I created were added as columns to the content_type_nodeprofile table....except the last two which were added to my db as separate tables: content_field_hobbies content_field_age these were the last two I added and, also, I had a few problems with the "group" they sat in, so I ended up changing the name and deleting and recreating the groups at least once...may this have caused the issue? I've tried totally deleting the relevant fields and groups and starting again, but they keep getting created as separate tables. Aagh!! Basically, what is it that makes CCK create a field as a separate table instead of putting it as a column inside the content type table? Neil

multiple issues after downgrading...to export/migrate manualy?
by zeljko blace 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Dear friends, In recent attempts to upgrade a fairly elaborate and content packed Drupal site (hosted at 101sitehosting and managed "mostly" through web interface of installatron) we failed to successfully upgrade from 5.x to 6.0 version of Drupal. As script gives option to downgrade the installation we tries to do so and site is again operational but quite a few content-type related issues appeared (articles, forums, book pages got mixed up). What would be the good way to export existing content+users and import it into new 6.0 setup or maybe even to import it first to new 5.7 setup and then re-try the upgrade? Thanks for any advice given!

File system out of root
by Walter Garcia-Fontes 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

I know that the file system is very hard to move from the root of drupal once your site is mature, but I have tried it anyway (not on my live site, but on a clone of it). I have tried to read also as much as I could about this both in the drupal.org search and doing a general google search. So I'm telling the list what I did and what didn't work, just in case anybody can give me any hints to understand a little bit better how things work with the file system. My site is Drupal 5.7. I have full access to the server, database, you name it (it must be almost impossible to do this without full access). Server is linux with standard tools. My previous setup was file system set to "private" but located in the root of drupal, in a "files" directory. So I created a directory out of the webserver root and put my "files" directory there, with write permissions and owned by apache owner and group. Then I changed the path in admin/settings/file-system to the new path, and erased my old "files" directory at the root. I use fckeditor to upload files and images to nodes, so these get an initial path of "/files/file" and "/files/image". Now these paths have to be moved to "/system/files/file" and "/system/files/image" once the files are out of the root. I changed this searching for all tables which contained these strings with the "search" feature of phpmyadmin, and then substituting the strings with the mysql command line (UPDATE table SET column = REPLACE(filepath,"/files/file", "/system/files/file");) I tried this of course on a sandbox install and database, and will get all the backups if I try to mess around with my actual database. There are not so many tables that contain references to files, so this can be done in about half an hour. In any case, after adjusting a couple more things related to fckeditor seeing the new file system, everything seemed to work until I logged out. The anonymous user was unable to access the files in the new file system. Also strangely some roles could access them but some others could not, and in particular I have two roles which look very similar in terms of permissions but one can access it and the other not. I also tried giving the remaining permissions to the role whith no access, but no result, no matter what I tried. So now I have a lot of questions: 1) is the "private" file system outside of the root always inaccessible for anonymous users? 2) Which is the permission that gives access to this type of private file system? 3) What is the effect of having "private" chosen, but the file system in the root? This seems to give access to everybody to the files and images that are referred in nodes, despite the fact of setting it as "private". 4) And how come I have such a disparate behavior of different roles, what determines which ones can access the outside private file system? Thanks for any hints on this. -- Walter Garcia-Fontes Barcelona

Custom Advanced Search
by Fred Jones 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

I am trying to create a custom search, i.e. one which will only search in certain CCK fields. I believe that hook_search for Drupal 5 is what I need: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_search/5 but when I set this up in my custom module and run a search $op comes through as 'name' but not as 'search'. Yet I am seeing the search results page. Is this expected behavior? If so, can someone explain to me what I am missing because I was expecting $op to be 'search' so I could add my keyword pairs to the search SQL to limit it. Or perhaps this is indeed not the correct approach? Thanks, Fred

Adding Wrapper Div In Zen Theme
by Steve Edwards 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

I'm trying to take a static theme and convert it to Drupal, and I'm having a problem with a background image. You can see what I'm trying to convert from at www.campusfiresafety.org. The problem is the graphic that is the brown border under the navigation bar at the top (under the banner). It is a 174px x 1px image that starts at the top of the page and goes down to just below the buttons. In looking at the Zen theme, what I would like to do is mimic, that, but the header div goes down and stops above the navbar div. My thought was to create a wrapper div that would encompass the header and navbar divs. The problem is that the navbar div is not directly adjacent to the header div: instead, it is after <div id="content">, and inside <div id="main-inner">, which is inside <div id="main">, which is adjacent to <div id="header">. Since the main div includes the page content, I can't wrap header and navbar as I would like. Can anybody give me an option of how to get the background image to go down through the navbar div? I supposed I could try moving the navbar div out of main, but I'm not the CSS guru, so I'd be afraid of messing the whole page up. The other option would be to cut down the div so it fits in the navbar div, I suppose. You can see my attempt at http://dev.campusfiresafety.org. On the same page, I also need to replace the text for each primary links with a button image and mouseover image. I've seen a few options for ways to do that. Does anybody have experience doing this, and suggestions of what way would be the easiest? Thanks. Steve
