Getting A View to "ORDER BY RAND ()"
by Shai Gluskin 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

I have a need for Views to "ORDER BY RAND ()" The use-case is that I want to pull in the teaser of a particular content-type for one node only onto the home page. I want it to randomly select the node it displays. Everything is easy except the random part. The home page is a panel page. I've built a view, filtered on content-type, set the number of nodes to display at "1" -- successfully pulled it into the panel. I thought the way to do this would be to set a sort criteria. But I see only "ascending" and "descending" -- I don't see "random" as a choice. Any ideas? I'm using Drupal 5.8, Views 1.6 and Panels 2 Beta Thanks, Shai

upgrading to 5.8. One question.
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

the upgrade.txt that comes with 5.8 mentions the following: 4. Disable contributed modules and switch to a core theme (Bluemarine or Garland). I seem to recall I had problems way back around 5.3 doing this. I disabled CCK I think it was and tables such as content_type_XYZ in my db were eliminated, together with the content in them. Am I remembering correctly? So this is keeping me from disabling any contributed modules until I'm sure about this as I don't want to lose data. does this ring a bell with anyone? Neil

hi, I'm noob to drupal. I'm trying to upgrade a site. though i have manged to do most of things. but when I copy paste the content of the site from original to drupal. the data does not show in a proper manner. I do have installed TinyMCE. when i paste in body it shows as i want but after submiting the form the formate changes. this means that tinyMCE is not doing his job. How do I paste Data as it is. it looks. (The data is in some Text and some are in table.)

druapl issue?

Hello, I got the following error in my application. warning: file_get_contents(http://abc.mywebsite.com/?prt=test) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /var/www/html/includes/common.inc(1352) : eval()'d code on line 22. here is content in common.inc near the line 1352: function drupal_eval($code) { ob_start(); print eval('?>'. $code); //line 1352 here $output = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $output; } from my web server linux box, wget http://abc.mywebsite.com/?prt=test doesn't work before, connection refused. I later get it works. However, I still keep getting the same error. I tried to replace the line print eval('?>'. $code); with teh following code. /* print eval('?>'. $code); */ $code = str_replace('<'.'?php','<'.'?',$code); eval('?'.'>'.trim($code).'<'.'?'); and then restart apache web server, and even tried to reboot computer. still the same error message generated, though the line 1352 is a comment line now. I wonder if there is cache or precomiled code in drupal causing this problem? Thanks.

cvs diff: list unknown files with question mark
by augustin (beginner) 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello, When developing using Drupal's CVS repository, if we do: cvs diff -up > new.patch at the top of the diff output, there are as many lines (starting with a question mark) as there are files in the local checkout that do not exist in the repository. Often, other patches would be listed: ? 1234.patch ? 98734.patch ? TODO.txt and then comes the diff output proper. I have a local cvs repository for my own development work. However, when I do cvs diff -up against my local repository, the unknown files are not listed as with Drupal's repository. There must be a configuration option somewhere, but I cannot find it. I've looked at the cvs official documentation, I've searched the web... but I cannot find the answer. I hope someone has the answer because it's a very useful feature. thanks, Augustin.

Node Teaser Available to Views List
by Shai Gluskin 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

I'd like to create a view with node: title and node: teaser content in a list view -- not in teaser view. Is it hardwired into Views that Node:teaser content is not available for inserting in list view? Am I missing something? I'm using Views 1.6 on a Drupal 5.7 install. Thanks, Shai
