Re: [support] Is it possible to change the date to something easier to read?

Hmmm Since you're happy with the Long Date format, I'm *guessing* there's no need for you to add a Custom Format on the date-time configure page. Just chose which Long Date format makes the most sense. But, thats just a guess. I had to do this recently for the first time myself - creating a custom date/time for a View. I guess I'll just tell you what I did for my View; I needed it to show an hour , in a format that would make sense to US based users (e.g. 5:52a). Here's what I did Under "Add format type" on the date/time configure page I typed: ------- Name: Hour Stamp Type: hour_stamp ------ I just chose "names" that made sense to me and my audience. (Again, I'm not sure you need to create a custom format..) for the "Format string" I looked at the php manual (Drupal shows a link to it) and found what I needed to just show the hour in a familiar US format. Next I went over to my View, and under "Fields" I chose "Content: Date (field_date) - From date" Next I chose: "Link this field to its node" (personal preference) And for "Format" I chose: "Hour Stamp" (see if you can choose "Long" here). Thats what I needed to do for my situation. I dont know if that will help or not, but hopefully it points you in the right direction! ------ brendan, fresh-off.com Creative Direction & Consultation: Web | Print | Brand http://fresh-off.com hello(a)fresh-off.com 206.328.1067 From: Tine Müller [mailto:tinem@email.dk] Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 10:18 PM To: brendan, fresh-off.com Subject: Re: [support] Is it possible to change the date to something easier to read?

Re: [support] PHP 5.3 upgrade problems
by andy baxter 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

The majority of the errors I am getting are of the form: 'Parameter n to function_name() /expected to be a reference, value given/ in //path/to/file/ on line m//.' This error is a known issue with PHP 5.3 and drupal from what I have read so far. I have seen a few reported issues where people are recommending finding the relevant function and changing the parameter definition from '&$variable' to just '$variable'. But I'm worried that this is just a quick fix which might throw up problems elsewhere - I don't really know either PHP or the drupal codebase well enough to know for sure what is the right way to fix these problems. andy Daniel Horning wrote: > could you be a tiny bit more specific as to the errors you are getting > > also - you might want to check your error display settings in both PHP.ini's > and see if they are the same > it could just be that the errors were occurring on your test server and you > might not have been seeing them. > > -- > Dan Horning > > American Digital Services - Where you are only limited by imagination. > dan.horning(a)planetnoc.com :: http://www.americandigitalservices.com > 1-518-444-0213 x502 . toll free 1-800-863-3854 . fax 1-888-474-6133 > 15 Third Street, PO Box 746, Troy, NY 12180 (by appointment only) > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On >> Behalf Of andy baxter >> Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 12:30 PM >> To: support(a)drupal.org >> Subject: [support] PHP 5.3 upgrade problems >> >> Hi all, >> >> I have recently moved a site from my test server (which is running php >> 5.2) to the live server (which is running php 5.3). >> >> Since doing this, a lot of pages are throwing error messages about a >> function expecting a reference argument. >> >> I have done enough research to get some idea of what the basic problem >> is, but still don't feel that I understand it well enough to dive in to >> trying to patch the code.

Permission problem
by A-NO-NE Music 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Drupl 6.14 I just created a new role for my assistant to post 'page' content type but not other content type, then I realized Publishing Option is disengaged so she can't post to the front page nor sticking it to the top. To my surprise, there is no permission setting for Publishing Option. I realized the publishing option comes online if I give Administer Nodes permission, but this causes to allow, not only Page but also any content type to be created even though they are not engaged for this role. I am hoping to solve this problem before morning. Any help would be appreciated. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

Expanded part of the menu
by Emma Badger 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

This is an example of part of my menu. <li class="expanded last active-trail"> <a class="active" title="" href="/workflow">Workflow</a> <ul class="menu"> <li class="collapsed first"><a title="Workflow Terminology" href="/ workflow-terminology">Terminology</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="" href="/setting-workflow">Setting up a Workflow</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="" href="/ frmGeneric.ADMWFPROCESS">Processes</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="Workflow Actions" href="/ frmGeneric.ADMWFACTIONS">Actions</a></li> <li class="leaf last"><a title="Workflow Workbench" href="/ FRMEADM021">Workbench</a></li> </ul> </li> I'd like to replicate this <ul class="menu"> <li class="collapsed first"><a title="Workflow Terminology" href="/ workflow-terminology">Terminology</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="" href="/setting-workflow">Setting up a Workflow</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="" href="/ frmGeneric.ADMWFPROCESS">Processes</a></li> <li class="collapsed"><a title="Workflow Actions" href="/ frmGeneric.ADMWFACTIONS">Actions</a></li> <li class="leaf last"><a title="Workflow Workbench" href="/ FRMEADM021">Workbench</a></li> </ul> i.e. the pages below the current page, and put it underneath the node content. I'm thinking that I can do this in my template but I'm not sure where to find the menu code to see how the menu is being generated. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks very much. Emma

Looking for tutorials on converting Photoshop PSD files into Drupal 6 themes
by Kelly Tanguay 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

First of all, I'd like to mention how helpful this support list has been. I don't know how I could have gotten started with Drupal without it! I'm just getting started with creating my own themes. I feel like I understand the structure of creating a Drupal 6 theme using CSS and template files, and I am also pretty familiar with Photoshop though I haven't worked much cutting up PSDs to use on a website. I was wondering if there were any good tutorials, resources, or books that show how to convert a PSD file into a Drupal 6 theme from beginning to end. Any help at all would be appreciated! -Kelly

File dimension: wrong size but only for a user
by Michel Morelli 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi all. I have a problem with a D6 site. I have an user that can upload image via cck filefield image item. And it works. Now I have "activated" the upload module to permit the upload of "attached file". But the same user can not upload nothing with this error: The selected file /1211449416.png/ could not be uploaded. The file is /84.63 KB/ which would exceed your disk quota of /1 MB/. Ehh ???? 84.63KB is bigger than 1MB ??? I have no quota on my server. And the administrator haven't this problem. Where is the error ? Tnx.

PHP 5.3 upgrade problems
by andy baxter 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi all, I have recently moved a site from my test server (which is running php 5.2) to the live server (which is running php 5.3). Since doing this, a lot of pages are throwing error messages about a function expecting a reference argument. I have done enough research to get some idea of what the basic problem is, but still don't feel that I understand it well enough to dive in to trying to patch the code. So far all I have done is add something to the template to suppress warnings for non-admin users. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it - the site is going public in two days and I still have some other things I need to sort out before then. Does anyone know of any well written explanations on-line of how this issue has come about and how it affects drupal? Or if someone on the list could take the time to explain to me what the issue is, that would be good as well. cheers, andy

Create Content and Permissions
by Pete Gervais 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Gents, I'm new to the list and would appreciate help from anyone who has seen these problems before. 1) I cannot get rid of the Create Content menu entry as part of my secondary menu. 2) I seemed to have lost access to all permissions. Therefore User Management -> Permissions issues the following : This webpage is not available. The webpage at http://www.oasfc.com/index.php/?q=admin/user/permissions might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. You can see this at www.oasfc.com/index.php I have searched the archives and cant find anything that relates to this . I'm using Drupal 6.13. Regards, Peter J.
