Need help configuring Drupal site within static site
by Zembower, Kevin 20 May '08

20 May '08

I'm trying to create a series of Drupal sites inside an intranet site for my organization which uses mainly static pages. I have this section in my apache2 config file: #Created 19-May-2008 by EKZ for the Drupal 6.2 Communities of Practices sites (except KM) Alias /cops /var/www/drupal-6.2 <Directory /var/www/drupal-6.2> Options +Includes +Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all </Directory> This works fine for the site at http://example.com/cops; I've visited this site and built the databases. It seems to work normally. Now, however, I'd like to create sites like http://example.com/cops/test2. I have this directory structure: centernet:/var/www/centernet/logs# cd /var/www/drupal-6.2/sites/ centernet:/var/www/drupal-6.2/sites# find . -type d . ./all ./default ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops/files ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test1 ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test1/themes ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test1/modules ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2 ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2/modules ./centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2/themes centernet:/var/www/drupal-6.2/sites# ls -l centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2/settings.php -rw-r--r-- 1 kevinz webadmin 8945 May 19 12:26 centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2/settings.php centernet:/var/www/drupal-6.2/sites# diff centernet.jhuccp.org.cops.test2/settings.php default/default.settings.php centernet:/var/www/drupal-6.2/sites# However, when I try to visit http://example.com/cops/test2, I get the test from the static main web page of http://example.com, and broken links to all the images. In addition, I get these errors in the error log: [Tue May 20 09:31:24 2008] [error] [client 10.253.200.146] File does not exist: /var/www/drupal-6.2/test2 [Tue May 20 09:31:24 2008] [error] [client 10.253.200.146] File does not exist: /var/www/drupal-6.2/images, referer: http://centerne t.jhuccp.org/cops/test2 Can anyone help me understand what I've done wrong, and what to do to fix it? Thanks very much for your help and advice. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139

OG Home Page
by Bob Morse 20 May '08

20 May '08

Thanks so much for all the tips on forum/mailing list integration. I am still exploring the options with the client. Now I have another puzzle. I am using Organic Groups for a teaching situation. Makes sense. People who have paid for the class will get access to the class manage by OG. But I would like to create a unique home page for the class and not just a list of recent posts to the group. I've read lots of threads on drupal.org, but haven't found a good solution. Ideally, what should happen would be that when a registered student logs in they are directed to this landing page which serves as a portal for the group/class.

3 domains, 3 themes, 1 instance. Any clue?
by Denis Lafont-Trevisan 19 May '08

19 May '08

Dear all, I have 3 separated domains: domain1.com , domain2.com and domain3.com. All three are on the same hosting. I want to share the same content, the same modules, but I need to have different views and blocks per domains. I was thinking the easiest way was to have 1 theme per domain. But how to do that? Another way? The domain access would be great but work only for subdomains, not 3 differents domains. Any clue? Thanks, Denis

Adding Form In Block With hook_block()
by Steve Edwards 19 May '08

19 May '08

I would like to add a simple area calculator form (length x width x depth = area) to a sidebar block, and I'm having problems figuring how to get the form to show up in the block using hook_block(). I've gotten the block to show up in the blocks list and have enabled it, but I can't get it to show up. I've been using the blocks chapter in the PDD book as a guideline, but I must be missing something. Here's what I have so far. <?php function calculate_square_form() { $form['length'] = array( '#title' => t('Length'), '#type' => 'textfield', ); $form['width'] = array( '#title' => t('Width'), '#type' => 'textfield', ); $form['depth'] = array( '#title' => t('Depth'), '#type' => 'textfield', ); $form['length'] = array( '#type' => 'button', '#value' => t('Calculate area') ); } function shbark_calculate_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) { switch ($op) { case 'list': $blocks[0]['info'] = t('Square area calculator'); return $blocks; case 'view': $block['subject'] = t('Area calcultor'); drupal_get_form('calculate_square_form'); break; } } How do I get my block content to be displayed? Do I have to pass the form to a theme function? Do I assign the form data to $block['content'] somehow? Or do I have to put the form array in the 'view' case for $op instead of a separate form function? Thanks. Steve

oops, locked myself out
by pault 19 May '08

19 May '08

hi all have just started working for the first time in a serious kind of way, and i think i've made a stupid mistake. the site i'm trying to build is initially not for the general public, but only for the workers of the organization i'm working for while they get used to adding content, using forums etc. so i was playing with blocks, making them accessible only to authorized not anonymous users. so the stupid thing i've done is done this for the login block, logged out and now i can't get back in getting an "Access denied You are not authorized to access this page", even when i go to: http://mysite/?=user any clues? pault -- pault [at] burngreave [dot] net

Mail to forum?
by Bob Morse 19 May '08

19 May '08

I am trying replicate the functionality of yahoo or google groups. That is, the ability to allow people to have discussions via email that are also stored on the web as threaded discussions and are searchable. I've tried some combinations of modules but haven't come up with anything that does quite what I want. I'd like this to work withing Organic Groups. I did activate Forum, and installs OG Forum and Subscription and Subscription OG so that group members should be able to receive email notice of posts to the Group's forum, but to reply they will have to return to the site. I'm running 5.7 on this site. Thanks for any help offered.

If Drupal doesn't know a page at the >request path, then it will return a 404. Thanks for the reply, but I wasn't asking about Apache rewrites. I think the question is more in the realm of what are the best practices for placing existing html static files within a Drupal hierarchy? If I have an existing site of several thousand static html files (which we do), should they all be placed under /home/drupal/public_html/sites/mysite.com/files ? Or is there a better way to do this? If I do that then the URL becomes ugly and unwieldy, i.e., http://mysite.com/sites/mysite.com/files/contentfile.html >So if you put static html throughout your Drupal directory, yes it >will work, and the files will be served. > >One heads up before you start this, is that by default directory >listing is disabled in .htaccess, and the only index handler enabled >is index.php. If you want to send your users to example.com/some/ >static/directory/content/here/ and have the index.html, or index.htm >file served automatically, then you will need to add that to the index >handler section of your .htaccess. Thanks for that tip. I should not that when I first started tinkering with Drupal (4.7), I too an existing site and just overlaid Drupal on top of it. Most of the existing site stayed where it was directly under public_html and only newer stuff got put in the files directory. Yes, Drupal's home page took (index.php) took over from index.html, but that was OK and intended. I then used the Drupal home page menus to direct to existing pages of the old site. that worked fine and it gave us a new Drupal install going forward while allowing us to convert the old files to Drupal over time. But that was with only one Drupal site. Once we got into ver. 5 and now ver. 6, newer sites are starting out with Drupal and we converted to the multi-site hierarchy, which is great. So I'm really looking for a way -- with an existing large site -- to fold in Drupal into the multi-site hierarchy. Again, I hope I'm making this clear and thank you for your responses.
