Node Reference Functionality to Create New Node When Referenced Node Doesn't Exist
by Shai Gluskin 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Before I submit a feature request on the overworked Views issue queue -- please tell me there is a helper module that already does this OR some kind of solution for this problem: Drupal setup: D6 with latest versions of cck and views. Content type 1: Books Content type 2: Authors "Books" has a "node reference" field to "Authors" *Problem*: in order to successfully complete the form: node/add/books the author of the book you are adding most already have a record previously entered at node/add/authors. *Desired functionality*: When you type in the name of the author to the autocomplete field and then click submit, instead of getting an error, "Author: found no valid post with that title", Drupal would go ahead and create that new node with John Steinbeck as its title. Obviously, the the Authors content-type couldn't have any required fields other than title. Drupal could assign the author to be the logged in user. I'm hoping someone is going to tell me that there is a module for this or that Views2 can even do it already and that I just missed the settings. Can triggers and actions do this, maybe? It's a huge UI problem to tell the user to create two nodes in a particular order when they just want to do one thing. Thanks, Shai

Problem with javascript and views
by Michel Morelli 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi. I have a view with some filter exported. I have add a to the filter exported's form so that when the user click on this my JS function is called. This is the code: function mymodule_form_alter(&$form,&$fs,$form_id) { if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') { $form['export'] = array( '#type' => 'item', '#prefix' => '', '#suffix' => '', '#value' => t('Export') ); drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module','mymodule')."/js/myjsfile1.js"); } } This is the JS code: $(document).ready(function() { $('#edit-export').click(function () { var nItem = $('#edit-language')[0].selectedIndex; var lang = $('#edit-language')[0].options[nItem].value; var regione = $('#edit-field-statename-value').attr('value'); var provincia = $('#edit-field-county-value').attr('value'); alert(lang + ' -- ' + regione + ' -- ' + provincia); return false; }); }); Now the problem: If I load the page and press on the element my JS function is called and it works. If I change 1 of the exposed filter and exec the view (click on the submit button) my javascript file doesn't work anymore. Where is my problem ?

Class modules
by Warren Vail 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

I've been looking for modules for setting up e-learning environments using Drupal. I ran across lot's of "class" modules on the Drupal site, only to discover there was no way to download them, but with pointers to an organization called Teachers without Boarders, which didn't seem to offer the modules either, despite promises of access to members of TWB. Has someone hijacked these open source modules? What is going on here? Warren Vail Vail Systems Technology <mailto:warren@vailtech.net> warren(a)vailtech.net (510) 444-5380

hook_block Headache
by Fred Jones 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

I am failing to get hook_block to work in D6 so I tried reducing my code to the very simplest and it still fails. I copied code from http://www.packtpub.com/article/creating-our-first-module-using-drupal6-par… and now have nothing more than this in my module file: <?php /** * Implementation of hook_block(). */ function mymod_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) { switch ($op) { case 'list': $blocks[0]['info'] = t('Goodreads Bookshelf'); return $blocks; case 'view': $blocks['subject'] = t('On the Bookshelf'); $blocks['content'] = t('Temporary content'); return $blocks; } } When this module is enabled, no blocks appear on my site whatsover. If I disabled it OR just remove that code, then the blocks appear. This is bizarre, no?

Background images stopped appearing in some pages
by Idan Arbel 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Hello, I have a very strange problem that I have no idea what the solution is. Suddenly I site that was working great has a problem where the background images called using a css file stopped showing up on all pages that had some sort of url alias: This page doesn't show the background images: http://www.eshhar.co.il/our-commitment This page does: http://www.eshhar.co.il/node/19 Also the front page doesn't show the images either : http://www.eshhar.co.il/ I tried changing all the background image paths to absolute but still the same issue. When I turn off clean-urls all pages don't display the background images. What could be the cause of this, this happened without any change on my part. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is a live site so pretty urgent. Thanks Idan

House Keeping Question
by A-NO-NE Music 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

One of the Drupal sites I maintain, my main web site, was my first Drupal site. Trials and errors made it kinda messy. I am still a Drupal noob but later sites I created are much cleaner, much fewer problems. I want to clean this site up without rebuilding it from the scratch, if possible. A few questions. Drupal 5.18 MySQL 5.0.37 phpMyAdmin 2.10.0.2 PHP 5.2.1 - My local MySQL has more tables than my live one. When I backup live database, I choose Add/Drop Table option, and select Replace instead of "Insert". How can I make the Export so the number of table matches? - There are so many orphaned content types, nodes, views, and images. Is there any module that will tell me what isn't being used so I can delete them all? I am sure if I move over to Drupal 6 from this mess, it will be a nightmare. I already have Image Gallery problem which isn't showing on my newer sites. Thanks in advance. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

D5: ImageCache Nightmare
by A-NO-NE Music 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

I posted this to ImageCache support but received no response yet, hoping someone here could help since I am kinda desperate. Under Drupal 5.18, I tried to update ImageCache from 5.x-1.7 to 5.x-2.4, which resulted in White Page of Death. I don't think it is a memory issue since phpinfo.php still tells me memory_limit is 128MB. I then went back to the backup which contains 5.x-1.7 and flushed the each preset cache. Now I am getting tons of images missing. It is very inconsistent. Some thumbnails are fine but not the main size page. Some are missing on all the presets, thumbnail, main image, and original, while some others are just fine in all presets. I can't see the pattern which ones are OK. It seems so random. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

hello. this must be something very simple, yet i can't find out. in the following page I am trying to implement same page links to skip to main content, and accessibility links. the first link works fine, yet the "skip to accessibility links" doesn't. the page is: www.nattiq.com/en no need to provide code, since that can be easily checked out from the page source. we're talking simple old html here. thanks for any help anyone can offer. -- All The Best, Mohammed Al-shar'

is it possible to import d5 content into a new d6 site?
by Neil Coghlan 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

I've had enormous problems trying to upgrade a D5 site to D6 and that's without ever getting even the initial db upgrade done (continual white screen of death), not to mention the c.40 contributed modules (some of which aren't available for D6) I have. I have a shiny new D6 installation running elsewhere on my server and I have to say I'm tempted to try and just import D5 content into it. Is that doable? If I could just import the nodes, the rest of the work would be a couple of days, mainly on Views and Blocks. I realise I can't just copy all the node_X tables over to their D6 equivalents as I imagine most of the tables have changed. Is there a way of doing it? regards Neil
