MiniPanels
by Néstor 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I have a site www.example.com/nestor/site1 and I create site www.example.com/nestor/site2 I do a mysqldump of site1 into site1.sql and edit this file and change all the 'site1' strings to 'site2' and save it as site2.sql After this I create a site2 database and read in the site2.sql file contents into the site2 database. When I look at my new site www.example.com/nestor/site2 everything shows up except fo the minipanels that I had created on my site1. On my new site all the minipanels are there but the code that they should have is empty, that is the reason why the minipanels blocks do not show on site2. What do I need to do to dump the information for my minipanels? thanks, Nestor :-)

fresh D6 intall; endless permissions loop
by brendan, fresh-off.com 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hello, I'm having permissions problems. I'm following the warnings from Druapl, making the fixes - but the warnings and fixes just seem to go in a loop. I had a new install of D6 and was installing a few modules. After hitting "save" it brought me to the Drupal D6 install page (which was confusing). I clicked on "install" and I received the warning message about making the file "./sites/default/settings.php" from "./sites/default/default.settings.php". This was more confusing as I'd already created that file. I messed about with it for a while, and things seem to change based on the directory permissions. Anyhow, it was a new enough install that I figured I'd just delete the DB, create a new DB and reinstall D6, but I seem to still be getting similar permissions problems. If I have the permissions set to "777" for the following directories and files ./sites/default/ .sites/default/files/settings.php then I can proceed with the setup, but get this warning: "All necessary changes to ./sites/default and ./sites/default/settings.php have been made, so you should remove write permissions to them now in order to avoid security risks." If I follow those directions and set the file and directory to "444" and refresh, I get this warning: "- The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process. 1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php. 2. Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. - The directory sites/default/files does not exist. An automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the directory and modify its permissions manually, or ensure that the installer has the permissions to create it automatically." At this point, I find that have to set the permissions of the "default" directory and "settings.php" to "777" make the above warning go away. (no other RWE combo seems to work.. only "777") Anyhow, after changing the permissions to "777" , I get the previous warning again: "All necessary changes to ./sites/default and ./sites/default/settings.php have been made, so you should remove write permissions to them now in order to avoid security risks." It just seems to be going in an endless loop. I've installed D6 several times, but never had this happen. Any idea what is going on? ----- brendan, fresh-off.com Creative Direction & Consultation: Web | Print | Brand <http://fresh-off.com> http://fresh-off.com <mailto:hello@fresh-off.com> hello(a)fresh-off.com 206.328.1067 seattle.usa

Drupal with Paypal
by chocba 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, I've a page type content in my site. This page has a html form. On submitting the form, I invoke a url which is mapped to a callback function. In this call back function, I need to perform validation. If validation succeeds, I need to forward request to paypal for the user to make payment. I downloaded and enabled paypal module, but not sure how to achieve this functionality. In other words, how do I programmatically forward the user request to paypal site. Please let me know. Appreciate your help. If there is a better alternative also, please let me know. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Drupal-with-Paypal-tp26802404p26802404.html Sent from the Drupal - Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Drupal terminal instead shell access...to get Drush functionality?
by željko blaće 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi! >From the description of Drupal Terminal project I could not tell if it could be used (and how) instead of shell access. Guessing all commands would not be accessible, but page does not go into informing what is needed to have this. I would love to use Drush and I see some work being done in that direction http://drupal.org/node/497320 but it is not explicit where at is it now and what is needed for this to function? maybe one time shell access to install Drush or something more? Best wishes - Zeljko

I need to filter nodes created in the current quarter, where starting and ending dates of each quarter are customly configured (but always the same within a year.) Do I need to make a custom query or can it be done with arguments or with some other more or less automated way? Thank you Mihaela
