Override Form API Theme Functions
by Fred Jones 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

In a Drupal 6 site, I want to override theme_select but my mymodule_select is never called. I tried instead making mymodule_form_element because theme_select anyway calls that for its output, but that custom function is also never called. The reason, BTW, that I want to do this is to be able to apply a class to some <option> tags. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Re: [support] Displaying drop down based on value selected in another drop down in drupal 6

Hi Shai,, THANKS I had tried by changing the info file but I found not working. Can u send me the working one in patch order Thanks.. Regards Ram --- On Mon, 6/4/09, Shai Gluskin <shai(a)content2zero.com> wrote: From: Shai Gluskin <shai(a)content2zero.com> Subject: Re: [support] Displaying drop down based on value selected in another drop down in drupal 6 To: support(a)drupal.org Date: Monday, 6 April, 2009, 6:00 PM Bharani... What is the error? There are several modules... and I think hierarchical select might be one... in which the module developer forgot to put in, core = 6.x into the .info file of the module. Simply adding that one line of code into the .info files fixes everything. (That's true, obviously, only if that is indeed the problem :> ). I can tell you that I do have the hierarchical select module running fine on at least one Drupal 6 site.

And it was Pavan who first answered, I just picked up from him. FYI -- For anonymous users, if you have caching turned on... I'm pretty sure this approach will not work like you expect it to. The query runs, it picks a random choice... but then then the whole page is cached and presented to non-authenticated users the same way every time (refreshing page makes no difference) until you change something on the page which causes the cache to be overwritten or until you clear the cache. For logged-in authenticated users I'm pretty sure it will work as you are expecting it to.

Rather... it is its own field to sort or on. Click on the drop-down for adding another field to sort on... go through the list slowly and you'll see "Random" as a choice. You might, if I remember correctly, even be able to set ascending/descending as an attribute after you have added Random as a new sort field. That, of course, makes no sense and it makes no difference what that attribute is set to.

Multiple site update and maintenance D6
by Nik Derewianka 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, After being spoilt by magento with it's './pear update all' mechanism to upgrade an entire site and its modules, I am trying to find a way to manage the updating of multiple drupal installs in as painless a manner as possible. My server is running plesk and each client will have their own install of Drupal. The suggestions of domain aliases for each site as per http://drupal.org/node/201322 is not applicable as it loses all the benefits of plesk (bandwidth monitoring, seperate client accounts, etc). Trying to script it all with something like drush would probably be great, but so far i have been unable to get the drush_extras (in particular pm) to work at all - i keep getting command not found even though i have the commands in a command folder in the drush doler as well as having it in a .drush folder in my home folder. I think this may be more due to the fact that drush for D6 is downloadable only as a HEAD snapshot rather than an actual release that has been tested ??? Another alternative is to look at symlinking the httpdocs folder for each account to a single drupal install and use drupal in a multi-site setup. There are still some drawbacks to this with regards to permissions and any non drupal files that a client may wish to put in their account (at say the root level). Right now, the only clear method seems to be maintaining a bunch of shell scripts that have to be tweaked every second day to keep up with the releases for modules. Even having a http://drupal.org/project/ <name>/latest url scheme would greatly improve this approach. But overall this is far from ideal. But, I guess at the end of the day, how are people managing 10's/100's of drupal sites and keeping them regularly updated and maintained when the drupal multi-site functionality does not suit them ??? Thanks, Nik

Role unable to post a content type
by Lluís 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I have a drupal5 site with taxonomy access installed. I have created some custom content types and a couple of administrative roles (one to manage content and another to manage content, taxonomy, blocks, etc...). Now a user of "role1" is able to post contenttype1 but unable to post contenttype2 If I add user to "role2" he is able to post contenttype1 and contenttype2 I tried checking all permissions in "Access Control" for role1 with no result, and also doing the same in all taxonomy access control for role2 with no results. How can I guess which module is blocking create permission to role1? Thanks. -- *La vida és com una taronja, que esperes a exprimir-la? *Si creus que l'educació és cara, prova la ignorància. *La vida és com una moneda, la pots gastar en el que vulguis però només una vegada. *Abans d'imprimir aquest missatge, pensa en el medi ambient.
