select items from ajax
by Ámon Tamás 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello, How can I fill a select field from ajax in drupal 6? When I try to fill it I get the error: An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator. Is it only possible with #ahah? Ámon Tamás Sitefejlesztő és programozó -- 5NET Informatikai Kft. 1062 Budapest, Aradi utca 38.

Taxonomy Access
by Daniel Carrera 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello, My Taxonomy Access permissions are not working right. The problem is somewhat like this: Imagine I have user roles Teacher and Student. I have a category (taxonomy module) called "Edit" with terms Teacher and Student. The permissions say that if Edit=Teacher then a Student cannot edit that page. The problem is that even when a page is set to Edit=Teacher a Student can edit. Note however that an anonymous user cannot edit the page. I reality the roles in question are different, but it's easier to explain if I call them Teacher and Student. Anyways, the permissions broke in the move to Drupal 5. I just checked the old Drupal 4.7 site and on *that* site the permissions work. I checked the permissions on Drupal 5 and they look fine: 1) I go to admin/user/taxonomy_access 2) I select "edit" on the "Student" role. 3) I go to the "Edit" category (taxonomy). 4) On the row "Teacher" (this is the category term) under "Update" it is set to "Deny". That should be everything, right? I don't understand why it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be welcome. Daniel.

Is Rebuilding Permissions Safe?
by Daniel Carrera 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello, I just upgraded to Drupal 5 and I have some minor problems with taxonomy_access permissions. It occurred to me that I might try "rebuild permissions" before I spent too much time chasing the problem, but when I go to "rebuild permissions" I get a warning: "Are you sure you want to rebuild node permissions on the site? This will wipe all current node permissions and rebuild them based on current settings. Rebuilding the permissions may take a while so please be patient. This action cannot be undone." Is it safe to run "rebuild permissions"? I have permissions so that certain pages can only be edited by certain roles (taxonomy_access). Will those permissions be wiped out? There are a lot of pages on my site including hundreds of blog pages from users with certain default permissions. Is it safe to run rebuild-permissions? This is a test site, and in the worst case I can build it again, but I really really don't want to lose several days' work for no good reason. Thanks. Daniel.

marquee element module: scrolltext or other
by Luke 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello I am looking for a way to place a marquee element in a block, and have some mechanism of controlling its contents through a form. I had a non-drupal site where I had written a crude control mechanism in PHP, and I can do that again here, but I thought I would try to find a module first, that would maybe work with some modifications. I found "ScrollText" (http://drupal.org/project/scrolltext), but its information is fleeting, and it doesn't quite seem that it will do what I want (it takes its content from "titles of nodes", which seems strange). Has anyone used this module, altered this module; or does anyone know of another module which handles a marquee element? Thanks Luke

User Uploads
by Daniel Carrera 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello, In Drupal 5.9 what happens if two users upload files with the same name? I'm concerned that the second upload might overwrite the first. In my site there is a pretty good chance of this sort of thing happening. In my ideal world the file upload module would use sub-directories for each user, but it doesn't. If anyone can recommend a good module for file uploads, please let me know. Thanks. Daniel.

Upgrading Modules
by Daniel Carrera 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello, Thanks to all who helped me move my Drupal 4.7 site to 5.9. Now that the base site is upgraded (this is a test site btw) I need to think about modules: 1) I had taxonomy_access in the old site. How do I upgrade a module? I have the new taxonomy_access (the one for 5.9) uploaded but I haven't activated it in case that is the wrong thing to do. 2) How do I get rid of old modules that I don't want to use anymore? Like the eCommerce module. Can I just drop all ec_* tables? Ditto for eJournal and OrganicGroups. These are all modules which I *thought* would help me but didn't and I don't want to keep them. Lastly, do you think it's alright if I stay with Drupal 5.9 until next year? The taxonomy_access module is not stable for Drupal 6, so I'm not sure if I should upgrade or not. Thanks.

Drupal permissions
by Daniel Carrera 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello, I tried to make a copy of my Drupal site for testing, but I can't get the test site to work. This is what I've done: 1) I made a copy of the database (let's call it test_db). 2) I made a copy of the Drupal directory and changed settings.php to point to test_db. I can navigate to the new Drupal site, but all the nodes give me "access denied". I can login, I can create new pages, and the new pages I create work fine (no "access denied") but the old pages just won't work. I tried following the instructions here: http://www.tech4him.com/content/drupal-access-denied-permission-are-correct No luck. If I change settings.php in the test site to point to the old database, the site works fine. So the problem seems to be something in the new database, but I can't imagine what. Does anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Daniel.

Security issue with comment form
by Shyamala Rajaram 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

We are facing currently comment spamming from a particular IP. As a security step we enabled Captcha and banned the IP. But the problem still persits, and the user is accessing the comment from a new IP every time. Though the comments do not get generated, it's still clogging the database. We need help to resolve this security issue. Shyamala

User permissions - limiting node or page access
by Luke 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello I would like to have user X be able to edit content of a particular node, or page, or other entity. There is talk of this here: http://drupal.org/node/5229 however, as noted in the last comment there (June, 2008), this issue has received no apparent action since 2004. Now, it could be that this has been handled in some other way, but this level of permission granularity does not seem available in 5.7. This is not a one-off: I have several "department heads", who need to be able to control their own pages, and only their own page(s). Are there any current solutions for this for either 5.X or 6.X? Thanks Luke
