Menu positioning
by John Fletcher 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Jonathan, Thanks a lot for the below tip. It's a month old now but finally I got around to doing it - and it worked! The only trick was that I had to store $_GET['q'] in a variable before changing the active item else it wouldn't change back correctly. I now wrote a bit of complicated code to get all the right secondary links menus appearing at the right time. The only further thing that would be great is to be able to set the desired menu items as "active" in primary and secondary links. I've seen a few people talking about how to do this on drupal.org but it inevitably involves regexp string matching... yuk... and there are different techniques anyway. Does anyone know the "best way" to do this in D6? By the way Jonathan, you appear to cryptographically sign your messages and I find that with MS lookOut (in digest mode - all messages come as attachments to one message) I can't read your messages. I had to go to the online list archive to read your response. Not sure if this is just an Outlook issue but anyway thought you should know.

That's in violation of the HTTP spec as well as a security hole. :-) However, you could have a link that links to a confirmation page with a button, and the button triggers a change. That sounds like what you're doing already. It *may* be possible (I've not tried) to do some fanciness with the theming of a given "field" to render a single-button form, and that will be your join "link". (Style the button to look not like a button.) See the existing code for edit and delete links for a model and try to extrapolate from there. I'm not sure if this will work, but it may. -- Larry Garfield larry(a)garfieldtech.com

secondary local task menu
by Matt Connolly 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

I'm having difficulties with secondary menus. Basically, I'd like to show some secondary local menus that don't relate to a primary local menu. I assume they can't. In which case, I'd be happy for the primary local menu to be shown *only* when the secondary menu is there, even if it is redundant. Let me explain in more detail: here are the pages I want: groups - lists groups on the site groups/add - add a new group to the site groups/list - default local task, alias for "groups" groups/view/% - view details for a specific group groups/view/%/list -default secondary local task, alias for "groups/ view/%" groups/view/%/edit - form for editing group groups/view/%/delete - form for deleting a group So, when I'm viewing a group (in any group/view/%[/%] page, I'd like to see the secondary local task menu. The only way I can achieve the secondary menu to appear is to make "groups/view/%" a primary local task, which doesn't make any since the "%" doesn't match anything in the path "groups", yet it still appears as a local task to that page. Another problem is that I get "groups/view/%" twice, in the primary local menu and in the secondary local menu thanks to the alias "groups/ view/%/list", which is needed to be the default task in the secondary local menu. Any ideas? -Matt

Views 2 field question
by Edward Peters 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Is there any way to define a field in a table view which triggers a change to a value in the row of that table? For example, the Organic Groups list view has a 'join link' field which when clicked subscribes the user to that group. At present, if I want to change a value, I can have an 'edit' link which goes to the form, and then back to the view after saving the change. It would be neater to have a one-step action. Thanks Edward Peters Oxford, UK www.iofc.org

file_create_url() breaks some sites
by Pierre Rineau 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Hi I have some problèmes with the CCK image field module. This is not because of the module, but because of the core file_create_url() function. I explain: <?php function file_create_url($path) { // Strip file_directory_path from $path. We only include relative paths in urls. if (strpos($path, file_directory_path() . '/') === 0) { $path = trim(substr($path, strlen(file_directory_path())), '\\/'); } switch (variable_get('file_downloads', FILE_DOWNLOADS_PUBLIC)) { case FILE_DOWNLOADS_PUBLIC: return $GLOBALS['base_url'] .'/'. file_directory_path() .'/'. str_replace('\\', '/', $path); case FILE_DOWNLOADS_PRIVATE: return url('system/files/'. $path, NULL, NULL, TRUE); } } ?> This give me an asbolute URL because of the use of $GLOBALS['url']. If we look at the url() function, we have a boolean parameter $absolute, which is default setted to FALSE. If false is selected, , the method use base_path() as base for the url, else it uses the global $base_url. Is this normal that drupal devs made the choice of always put absolute URL for files ? Is this a bug ? If not, why ? The problem for me is that I use drupals behind proxies (they are in a company LAN, using internal DNS which are not accessible from outside). When giving absolute pathes, the site give me, through the proxy an internal DNS which does not work.

Different in IE7, FireFox, Logged In, Logged Out?
by Gregg Marshall 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

I'm running Drupal 5.7 with a modified Zen Basic theme. I got the problem solved of the logo and title on different lines by playing with the code, but now I'm getting a strange result. IE7 more/less works except the logo is low and the title is over-sized: FireFox 3 displays everything the way I expect when logged out: But when I log in, I get a shift I can't figure out: Any suggestions what I've done wrong???

Trivial Question

I know the answer is sitting in front of me, but I can't see it. I put a logo back on my site and now the title is showing up on a separate line. http://www.vendor-tech.com <http://www.vendor-tech.com/> So what did I do wrong? Gregg

automatically create related content type
by marolijo - Pol Maresma 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hello, I'm going to create a Drupal site based on an very, very old ASP web site. It's a radio station website, with programs, and news ans links related to this programs. Each program have a user and can create news/links (that content has a table relation to the program table automatically). How can I create this kind of relation on Drupal? Different content types and node relation? But how to relate automatically a user link/new to the program? Maybe I should use taxonomy? I was thinking on do this: attach 2 views on program content type templatre, to show related news and links. Thank's for all. Pol
