user view & form $op
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

It seems there are a lot of chances to avoid code duplication feeding view with the form you provide in form in hook_user. The array provided to the renderer of view is so similar and still different enough and I think it is a pretty common problem to have a form and a static presentation of what was inserted. I'd like to avoid to reinvent the wheel so before I think to write some code that can turn a form into an array similar to the one passed to hook_user for the view $op... I'd like to hear if anyone has a pre-cooked solution, some example, some snippet of code, opinions... Meanwhile I may ask if this could be an area of improvement for future Drupal releases. This could even be part of the future FAPI. After submit: * redirect to form * redirect somewhere else * present a static "themable" summary of the submitted data -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Scheduler Module | Safe Edits to Y-m-d H:i:s ?
by Brian Knoblock 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hello I have searched the archives and have not answered the question, so here goes. I am wondering if anyone knows how to do this safely. I need for the Scheduler module just to ask for the year month and date., not time and seconds Now I can edit the module easy enough <code>('Y-m-d H:i:s',</code> Change to <code>('Y-m-d ',</code> But I am sure there must be some guidelines somewhere I can follow to make sure I dont break something and my postings will drop off when needed, and where do I need to do the edits in the module. Or should I think of another way? Thanks for any help Brian Knoblock BK

Views 2 -- Embedding outpuut in a page
by Hugo Mills 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I'm a rank newcomer to Drupal, so please excuse me if I'm being stupid... I've created a view in my site (Drupal 6.2, Views 2.0-alpha4 at the moment), and I can successfully get the view to show a preview of the content I was expecting on the view definition page. However, I can't seem to embed that view into a page. I've tried any number of variations on the following code in the page (filched from [1]), but I simply get no output at all where the code is. <?php $view = views_get_view('releases'); $view->init(); $view->set_display(); $view->set_arguments(array('5')); $view->is_cacheable = FALSE; $view->render(); ?> I've tried $view->execute_display() as the last line as well as $view->render(), and tried printing the result of each of those, too, all to no avail. I've tried looking at the doxygen docs, too, but there's not much in there to give me a high-level view of how things fit together. Yours, confused, Hugo.

Cron Unable to Access Database
by Shai Gluskin 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Fellow Drupallers, Cron isn't working. This is the job I have set up: 17 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/<account_name>/public_html/cron.php (account_name is replaced with the actual account name.) I'm using cpanel x3 advanced pane set-up. At 17 minutes after every hour I get the automated e-mail cron report telling me that the script was unable to access the database. When I go to: /admin/logs/status, not surprisingly, cron has not been run. When I navigate via a browser to: example.com/cron.php cron runs normally and is reported as such in /admin/logs/status. Other cron jobs in different accounts (also Drupal installations) on the same server are working fine. I'm running Drupal 5.7. Thanks for the help. Shai content2zero <http://content2zero.com>

Is there a CCK field that allows cumilative addition of data?
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

I want to enable a "School" section to my nodeprofiles. Users would see on the submit page something like this: Country: State: School Name: When they submit and go to edit the page the next time: Country:___________ State: ___________ School Name: ____________ Current Schools: Wilson High School, California, USA [remove] Ultimately, a user may have 5 or 6 schools listed and can add and remove them at will. I seem to recall seeing a module a year ago for 5.x that allowed you to remove or add from a select list into a box on the right hand side, similar to what you get for configuring Windows toolbars, etc. That's almost what I need, though it would be for free text, not select list. It seems such a basic requirement. It's a sort of "favorites" functionality where a list of data can be expanded or reduced. Does anything similar exist to anyone's knowledge? Thanks Neil

Having two versions ("last published" and "next release draft") of same content
by Daniel Caillibaud 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hi all, With drupal 6 (I can use 5.7 if easier), what is the best way to have two versions ("last published" and "next release draft") of the same content ? It's content of my own type (build with cck, each content have many fields and several files attached). I would like to have all the published versions on the public website, and the draft of each content accessible for authentificated user. In brief, it's a bit like implementing for contents mechanisms usually used for sowftware development (with the "still in development" branch and the "stable" branch). I guess I have to code a way to duplicate content from the "workspace" to public website (to always keep the current working version in the "workspace"), but I'm starting with drupal so it's perhaps a crzy idea... Every good advice will be apreciated. Thanks Daniel PS: Next steps are to have a collaborative way to publish (more than X% agree without veto), and have different variants of each content, with relations between variants ;-)

Persistent random form value
by Larry Garfield 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Hello, support@. I have a form in a Drupal 6 site where I want to have a random value in it. That random value should be really-random between different users. However, it should be the same value for displaying the form, processing the form, and submitting the form. However, the form's constructor function gets called multiple times throughout the lifetime of a form. Currently I am doing the following: $new_password = user_password(); $form['admin_account']['account']['pass'] = array( '#type' => 'value', '#value' => $new_password, ); $form['admin_account']['info'] = array( '#type' => 'item', '#title' => $t('Your new administrator password is'), '#value' => $new_password, '#description' => $t('Remember to write this down!'), ); (Yes, this is in an install profile's form alter.) That's great, but when the constructor and alters are called on submit, it will get a new password from user_password() that is not the same as the one the user was just given a moment ago. It should still validate, I think, but what's saved won't be what the user was just given as a password. Does anyone know how to make the above work as intended? --Larry Garfield

Create a view for taxonomy
by Gorosito Gonzalo 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Hi guys: I'm trying to solve my problem, and I think I've got something: I hace some content created and asignated for terms in a taxonomy I have created. Now I'm trying to create a view of these terms, to click in one term and see all contents created for this term. The problem is when I create more than one content for a term, in my view, the term appears more than one time. Is there something stupid I'm missing or my contept is wrong? Thanks a lot Gonzalo -- ####################################### # Gonzalo Gorosito # Web Programmer / Sys Admin # http://www.ggorosito.com.ar #######################################
