Blog Sort Order by Date
by Tom Holmes Jr. 08 May '08

08 May '08

I'm creating a new site in Drupal 5.7 hosted at SiteGround. I'm collecting data (news) from two older sites, and I will move them into this new site. So ... I was thinking of creating a blog .... that way every new news item goes to the top of the list and the old news items get pushed down. The problem is that since I am collecting data from other sites, I would like to sort these things myself. For example as I create these entries, I will include a date that the news item happened, I would like it sorted in that Chronological order with the most recent first. If I just create a blog and I add items out of data order, I am afraid they will appear in the blog out of order. So, since I haven't looked at the blog, can I edit the create date and put it in the order I want? If so that's great, then I can create my entries and they will be sorted on the date I entered, not on the actual date I created the node. If that solution won't work, what is an alternative solution? Thanks for the help! Tom

Access Denied to User #1
by Fred Jones 08 May '08

08 May '08

On a Drupal 5.7 site when I visit /node/291 and am logged in as user #1, I see: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /node/291 on this server. but it's completely unstyled, just black text on a white page. The page /admin/content/node of course works fine for this user, as do MOST pages. The page /node/add however is the same "Forbidden" page. That's in FF. In IE if I am NOT logged in at all and I visit /node/291 I see: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden Internet Explorer but if I visit /home then I see the fully styled page from Drupal with the text "You are not authorized to access this page" which is correct, b/c the site is now not open to anonymous visitors. When logged in as user #1 the URL /node/291/edit actually works just fine. This is quite bizarre, no? Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Show/hide block on selected pages
by Marolijo - Pol maresma 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hello I need to show/hide a block on selected pages, I know about php code to control block visibility, and I know the Block Assign module, but: I need to show block A on selected pages and views. I need to show block B on selected pages and views. I need to show block C on the rest. I'm not shure what is the best approach to do that without a very big IF/THEN/ELSE on php. Thank's for all!

Dear All, Is there a way in Drupal, that I can have a message at the bottom of my pages, saying something like 'This site last updated on XXX date'? Then, every time I make a change to the site or add content the 'last updated' would automatically update? If so how can this be done? Regards, Stuart.

Panels/Views Promote to Front Page Problem
by Shai Gluskin 06 May '08

06 May '08

Is it possible to retain the meaning of "promote to front page" when using a panel for a home page? Here is the problem... I use a Panel for the home page and it has several views. Right now I have the views set to filter on "promoted to front page" as a requirement for selecting nodes. The problem is that those views meaningfully exist on their own URLs. On those URL's I want all the nodes to show up based on the other criteria, but not filter on "promoted to home page." When the web editor unchecks "promote to front page" for a particular node, those nodes now disappears from the View as well. The simple answer is to clone the view, make one filter on promote to front page and the other not. That would turn my four home page views into 8, ughh. *My idea:* Create an argument in the View. But when I click on argument in the Views UI I *don't see* what I want to see in the drop down: node:promoted to front page. I'm running Drupal 5.7 and Views 1.6. I'm using Panels 1 dev version from 9/07 (will now update that to Panels 1.2 now that I noticed I'm behind on that one). Any help on the argument idea or other ways to do what I want to do would be much appreciated. Thanks, Shai
