Ubercart: Define attribute option for specific product when creating a product kit
by Ryan Thomson 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hey all! Any Ubercart ninjas in da house? When editing a product kit there is a list of all included products which include quantity, ordering and discount. This should also include the product attribute options. example: we sell online content for schools. An ebook can be purchases individually, per classroom or per school. These are all attribute options of the ebook product. We want to create product kits which would include an ebook with a classroom license, but as product kits work now you can't set the attribute option on the edit page - instead the customer picks which attribute option they want which, in this case, won't work. Our workaround is to create copies of existing products with only one attribute option, but this is obviously entirely inefficient and messy... does anyone know of a method to achieve this? Thanks!

image gallery
by John Callahan 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I know there are plenty of options for creating image galleries in drupal. I've used many of them. Like most people, I'm interested in simple, and like an increasing number of people, I'm not interested in using the image module. CCK, Views, Imagecache, etc.., is the preferred way to go. In the interest of simplicity, I do not want to give my users FTP access to my file system, and I'd rather not require them to create a new node for every image. So, does anyone have suggestions for the following: 1) users can create the image gallery on one page/node, such as through CCK Image Field or file uploads as attachments 2) the display of the gallery can be through Lightbox or something similar. Modules like Galleria and Gallerix have potential. They may work with a decent amount of CSS work and maybe some changes to the module code. I love the method described here (http://raincitystudios.com/blogs-and-pods/hubert/a-simple-ajax-image-galler…) using CCK/Views but I can't get Lightbox to navigate through the images. Not sure if it's possible here. - John ************************************************** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: john.callahan(a)udel.edu http://www.dgs.udel.edu **************************************************

by Christopher M. Jones 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I'd like to use panels to do things like add text to the top of the /forum page, but I don't see how to add this as content into the panel. I'm guessing it can't be done, or can't be done easily. Can someone a. Tell me how to do it b. Suggest another strategy.

Drupal - White Screen of death
by Néstor 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I got a white screen of death when I removed some modules from my drupal 6.9 installation and I was not able to recover. I had to re-install Drupal and start all over again. This happened to me also 6 month ago when I when ahead and removed some modules and I was using drupal64. Am i the only person to get a white screen after removing modules? How do you fix the problem without having to re-install drupal? Thanks, Nestor :-)

Linking to an external page on the same server
by Gar Nelson 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I've got an apache/drupal problem that I'm coming up empty on for how to fix. My OS is RHEL 4, Apache is httpd-2.0.52-41.ent.2 Drupal is drupal5-5.15-1.el4.rf Drupal is working fine with Apache. My problem is that I want to run VCDDB, (http://vcddb.konni.com/) which is an external web based movie database application. I've installed it in /var/www/html/movies, and the installation process completed successfully. Drupal is installed in /var/www/html My problem is that when I go to http://my.host/movies or http://my.host/movies/ all I get is a blank screen. If I try to go to http://my.host/movies/index.php, I get a popup trying to download "index.php" rather than display "index.php". I have also installed WebCalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php) and that does work correctly when I go to http://my.host/calendar I suspect this is a Drupal issue, since VCDDB was running fine when I was using a manually coded html web site (rather than Drupal),but I'm not sure. If could be an Apache thing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Gar

Encrypting CCK Data
by Steve Kessler 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I am trying to make a site that will hold some sensitive information that I would like to have at least minimal encryption on some of my CCK fields. Is there an easy way to encrypt CCK text fields? I would need to display the un-encrypted values when the nodes were viewed by users with the correct permissions.

Misities for events (Weddings)
by marolijo 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, I need to create a site where the admin should be able to create "minisites" for events (weddings) and create a user that can edit their content. The minisite should be created with a default contents (nodes) and placed inside a subdirectori (ok and alias not really a subdir...) Any idea of what to use to do that? Thank's a lot!

permission to create unpublished pages?
by John Callahan 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I have authenticated users being able to create the "Page" content type on my site. That's the only content type they can create. They are allowed to edit/delete their own Pages. The problem is when they create a page, they do not have "Authoring information" or "Publishing options" available on the node create/edit page. I want them to be able to create unpublished pages (when the page is eventually ready, they'll mark it as published.) To give them that ability, it seems I have to grant them the "administer nodes" permission. However, that gives them the ability to create any content type, which I do not want. Am I missing something? Is this expected behavior or is my site screwed up in some way? It seems like a simple enough task. Thanks. - John ************************************************** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: john.callahan(a)udel.edu http://www.dgs.udel.edu **************************************************

HTML forms not Drupal's Forms API -- Badness Explanation Needed
by Shai Gluskin 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Gang, I've red-flagged for a potential client (abandoned by former Drupal developer) an event registration page on their site that uses an html form to deliver some variables to a Paypal page. Looks like the code came from a Paypal help page. I'm proposing using a combination of the signup and signup_pay modules to handle this functionality. I'd like to give the client a little more detail on why it is bad to use regular html forms in addition to "It's more stable," or "it's the Drupal way." On the "It's more stable" argument, I need some more detail on why and what are some bad things that can. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Shai
