Another d5 Module Coding Question
by Fred Jones 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

I have a form which is generated--the user enters his data and submits the form. I run a search based on that, and what I want to do is to show him the same form again (so he can rerun it) with the search results below it. Whether I use drupal_get_form as the callback or whether I use a custom function that calls drupal_get_form, it seems that me that my form function is called before my validation function, yet its only in the validation function that I see that I have access to $form_values. I can run the search there, but I don't yet see how to add those search results to the page. I do see that the user module uses $_POST. Is that the recommended method? In my custom function, I can just access the search fields inputted via $_POST, run the search, and then add those results to the form which I generate via drupal_get_form. I can do it this way, it just seems a bit low-tech for Drupal, heh heh. Thanks

php and drupal. how to start learning?
by Simone Dal Maso 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi, I'm quite tired to ask questions and questions, only because I don't know php and the main structure of drupal. So, I'd like to study. Do you know if exist a manual or a tutorial that explain drupal's structure and the fundamental of php? or, could you just tell me what to start reading? thank you.

Content Type Dele problem
by bharani kumar 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi The steps to generate the bug are: 1. Create a Content type (eg: Content type 1) 2. Create a content(eg: content-1) of the same content type (Content type 1). 3. Delete the Content type (i.e., Content type 1). 4. Try to edit the content (content-1). The browser will show warning, and you wont be able to edit the contents. 5. Now create a content-type with the same name, which you have deleted (i.e., Content type 1), and you will be able to edit or delete your content (i.e., content-1). ???Any solution thanks

Simple Module Coding Question
by Fred Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I have a menu item whose callback is drupal_get_form, but in the form function, I would like to know what arguments follow my path. What I mean is that my menu path is: custommod and the actual URL I am calling is custommod/3 and in the form I want to be able to see that 3. Is this available in the API? I tried making my callback a custom function and then using drupal_render to render my form at the end of that function, and while then I see the 3, the form came out all messed up--it was out of order it seems. Is this the right way to do it? Or is there something I am missing? Thanks!

Throttles
by Steve Hays 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Friends, Thanks to much help from this board, my site (www.ohiodialogues.org) is up and functioning. Occasionally it goes very slow. I have enabled caching in Performance. I suspect there are other things that you who've managed sites have learned that you might be willing to share? In particular, I'm wondering about enabling Throttle in the Modules section. I started to enable it for all modules. Then I wondered whether it might cause some troubles for some of them--Views, for instance. So, any advice on Throttles--or any other performance suggestions? May thanks, Steve Hays Classics and World Religions Ohio University

tutorial on dynamically generating menu in D5
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

I've to dynamically generate the menu and I've the feeling that just adding items in menu_hook and trial&error won't take me far reasonably efficiently. eg. I'm interested in obtaining effects similar to "Login" turning into "My account" even for menu created from the admin interface. I'm reading drupal source but I'd hope there is a faster way to get the rough picture and some examples. thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Re: [support] strange problem with direct link to a file

you wrote: > Sounds like maybe a timeout issue based on destination but maybe a > browser cache issue as well. The "private mode" adds a lot of overhead > that you really don't want. I recommend that you reverse that option noooooooooo. you have reason, I read about it and it's true. The only problem, a little problem, is that I have only 2 gb of files, all in the "files" folder that is my system path for drupal. Since I'm using the disknode module,because it allows to select files from server and attach them to more nodes, and it works only in private mode, I should: 1. download all files into my pc. 2. create a subdirectory of files called "private" and then, render it "private", it is possible, I saw some instructions about it. 3. upload all these files again, one node at the time... in that different subdirectory ok, I will think about it, it seems terrible, but it was a great mistake I have done when drupal for me was only a game. thank you again.

strange problem with direct link to a file
by Simone Dal Maso 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hi, I have d5 and upload set to private mode. I uploaded a file and its path is: www.spazioausili.net/system/files/pcciechi_2008-14.zip the strange thing is that about 80% of users have no problem download it. but, other users, receive an error message that say that the website is temporary unavailable, or download start and crash after 1 second. This is not random, it happens always to same users. instead, if I give the link of the node and then users click to the attachment, the problem doesn't exist and all can download. do you know if drupal has some difficulties when a user wants access directly to a file when private mode is enabled? Can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
