Calling a field in a node template - need PHP help
by andrea burton 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hi, I am stuck on this problem. I have a News content type with a File field called field_file. I am trying to figure out how to write the code in the node- news.tpl.php to show the field but only if a file has been uploaded and thus filled that field. Right now, I have this code to pull in the body and the file_field: print $body; print l(t('Download Article'), file_create_url($node->field_file[0] ['filepath'])); but "Download Article" shows up in the nodes that do not have a file uploaded into that node. Im thinking all i need is an if-else statement that says: If field_file exists, then print l(t('Download Article'), file_create_url($node->field_file[0]['filepath'])); else just print $body but nothing i have tried works. Can anyone help me? thanks! andrea

mailing list manager questions
by eduard aylon 04 Jun '09

Hi there, I'm just starting with drupal and this is my first post to the list, so bare with me. I am trying to find a module that will allow me to have subscribers to a newsletter, however subscribers will not be (drupal) registered users. I believe the solution to this problem is either use mailman or phplist, however I don't have root access to the server which disables the option to install mailman. So I decided to try out phplist. After installing phplist, and pointing my browser to /lists/admin I had a message saying: "Error: Database has not been initialised ,go to initialise database to continue" I'm a bit a concerned about initialising the database, as I don't want to lose any of the data contained in it. This is, because phplist and drupal share the same database (don't have rights on the server to create a new database, that's why). In the config.php from phplist I set a different table prefix, so maybe initialising the database will just create a new table for phplist, but I am unsure. Could anyone tell me whether is safe to initialise the database or not? I also have another installation on my home computer where I have drupal-6.9 (previous one is drupal-6.12). I use this installation for testing things out. So I installed phplist in this one, and configure it. Set permissions in drupal so I can access and administer phplist module. However when I go to drupal>site_configuration>phplist I get sent back to the site_configuration page whithout being able to configure the module at all. So can't tell phplist module what table prefix or database should be pointing to. Any help is much appreciated, eduard

I am justing getting started with drupal (6.10). I added a couple themes to my sites/all/themes folder. When I switch to them, the formatting comes through, just not the images. The images however are in the folders for the themes and the themes are for the 6.x build. Is there and extra step in there? Thanks, -Jen

2 submit button in profile form (D5)
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 03 Jun '09

I need 2 submit buttons in profile form but I can't see anything I could use in the $edit array. I could add a checkbox as an alternative to 2 buttons but it will make the usability a bit awkward. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

issue with video_upload module
by Ole Kerpel 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi all, I haven't been able to make video_upload working. I installed the module, the dependencies like CCK and file_field and everything else needed as far as I know. After enabling the module and some configuration I saw there was a working authentication with Youtube, but the files get uploaded to my own site under /files/. Of course I want to upload the files to youtube instead. The youtube account is working: I uploaded a movie through youtube. Here is some additional info: PHP 5.2.6 Drupal 6.12 module: http://drupal.org/project/video_upload Any help is wonderful. Thanks in advance for the trouble taken.

Display latest article with lead Images and Teaser using view
by bharani kumar 01 Jun '09

Hi All , How to display the latest article with lead image and teaser using views, For example , Am posting article Around 500 lines , the article contains around 4 images , Now i want to display only first image and Teaser , using view , Image must aligned in left , *Lorem Title * * IMAGE AREA Lorem Ipsum* is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
