PHP: block visibility by term
by crozilla 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

All, I kinda know what I'm doing in Drupal, but this trick has baffled me. This is what I want to have happen: When the page has the term 221, block/24 is visible, when the page doesn't have the term, the block is disabled. Sounds simple, right? Here is code I found on Drupal that seemed to do what I wanted, but didn't work for some reason. I don't really know PHP that well, and was hoping someone could point out the problem. ------------------ | <?php //code snippet for causing block to show based on a node's taxonomy term. $make_block_visible = FALSE; $term_id_to_trigger_show_block = 221; if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) { $terms = taxonomy_node_get_terms(arg(1)); foreach($terms as $term) { if ($term->tid == $term_id_to_trigger_show_block) { $make_block_visible = TRUE; } } } ?> ------------ |Also, is this possible using a CCK text field, instead of a category term? That would be ideal. Thanks, Peter

Upgrading Drupal
by Daniel Carrera 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello, I'm going to be upgrading Drupal in the coming weeks. I have a few starter questions: - I have version 4.7. Should I upgrade to Drupal 5 or 6? - I have two other minor sites that also use Drupal. They are small and have few or zero plugins. Would it be a smart idea to use the multi-site feature and put all three sites in one place or should I have them separate? In other words, would multi-site make upgrades more complicated in the future? I'll have to fix many issues with plugins as I upgrade. * In the current site I put all the plugins in the global plugins directory because I didn't know better. In the new site I'll put them in the site-specific directory. * I have a lot of plugins. Several don't work well and I would like to get rid of them if it's at all possible. I wonder if getting rid of plugins and their associated data may turn out to be a problem. Especially if the plugins in question are not available in future versions. What is the best course of action regarding plugins that may not be available in the recent Drupal versions? Thank you for your help. Daniel.

Mass Changing UID
by Shai Gluskin 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Drupal Mavens, On a site with about 600 nodes I need to change the node author on about 300 of them. It's very straightforward in that everything that is written by uid="2" needs to change to uid="4". I was about to write a simple sql query to implement in phpMyAdmin but thought I'd come here first (*and* back up the db). I'm seeing uid in two tables: node and node_revisions. Does UID exist anywhere else? Also, would I be fine with just changing it in the node_revisions table? Thanks, Shai

Search Problem in d5
by Fred Jones 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

We imported a large set of files via the import_html module and made them all book nodes. What we actually did was import them into a local install, and then we ran a PHP script to massage the imported data (to make some adjustments and corrections, some of which we did on the body field of the records in node_revisions). Then I uploaded that DB to the web server, and clicked "Re-index site" and now 100% has been indexed. When I run a search for "Hull" however, I get 7 results, which is very nice, but node 21206 has that word--twice in fact, yet it doesn't appear in the results list. Node 10037 and 23089 do show up in the results, so nodes both before and after the 'missing' one are working. I am using the standard search facility. I didn't adjust the default settings of 3 for "Minimum word length to index:" and "Simple CJK handling" is checked. Any ideas how I can debug this? Thanks!

Using same view as page and in panel
by Steve Edwards 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

I have CCK type called Announcement, and I have assigned a taxonomy category with three terms to it. I then created a view that displays the Announcements and pass it an argument of Term ID so I only display items in a certain category. This works great for the page. I would also like to display certain Announcements of one term in a front page panel pane, so I added a checkbox CCK field to indicate that the particular announcement should be displayed in the panel. What I would like to do is use the same view so that when it is the page, it doesn't care about the checkbox, but when it's in the panel, it does, and only displays those items with the checkbox checked. I"m guessing I need to do something along the lines of an optional argument in the view for the checkbox, and then somehow pass the argument for the checkbox in the panel. Can I do this, or do I need to create a separate view to use in the panel? Thanks. Steve

Bad URL goes out to 100 people - Best Practice in the Wake
by Shai Gluskin 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Support Peoples, I sent out a URL to 100 people that had a period "." appended. Was: example.com/page. Should have been: example.com/page I sent it 3 hours ago and just discovered it a few minutes ago. I'm dreading going in to my log file to see all the page not founds... The short term answer is to create a path alias "example.com/page." that points to " example.com/page". In the longer run, though, I'm worried about messing up my Google Analytics statistics -- people bookmarking the page which will then reinforce the problem, etc, etc... Is there a more elegant solution to this? Thanks, Shai

getting blank pages randomly
by geniekids 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Drupal is throwing blank pages randomly. Funnily this happens in one browser say firefox, but at the same time doesn't happen in internet explorer. It typically happens when i click on a ADD or an EDIT button (say add a view or add a cck field or has even happened with "edit profile" in one computer in my office - and when at the same time I tried edit profile in my comp - it worked fine (but only in internet explorer) I have done the follwing but to no avail 1. Increased memeory limit in php.ini first to 32M and finally even to 64M 2. Cleared cache database of Drupal using Devel & ran corn (have done this a number of times) 3. Cleared cache of my browsers (both ie and firefox) 4. I had removed most of the modules - save the very important ones like cck and views. 5. Have even completely removed views and then reinstalled it 6. Have checked version of the few modules installed - all match with D5.1 that i am using please help geniekids -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/getting-blank-pages-randomly-tp18683865p18683865.html Sent from the Drupal - Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
