Forum topic side-wide contact from not emailing the user's email while sending the email has been updated.
by Nabil Malik 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Dear Community, When some one (authenticated user or anonymous user) uses the site wide contact form, I do get the email, however, the email does not include the value entered in the email field (for anonymous user).. It only includes the subject, Name, and the Message. The problem is I cannot contact the anonymous users as I don't get their email address that they entered while submitting the form. Is the a way i can fix it. Thanks, -Nabil.

managing automated cron generated html pages via drupal
by Rahul Nabar 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

I'm a newbiee to Drupal and I just installed one on our server. I was wondering if there was any way to achieve the following via drupal? We have a mysql database storing a bunch of scientific data and I have a cron script querying the database and making html tables of key data. Is there a way how this content (the resulting html pages) can be integrated and managed via drupal? Especially the link structure etc.? -- Rahul

HTTP 400 - BAD REQUEST when moving .htaccess to httpd.conf
by Ryan Chan 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello, I have install latest Drupal, I come across with a problem: If I move the content of .htaccess into httpd.conf, the site is not accessible and error "HTTP 400 - BAD REQUEST" will be give out. If I leave the drupal config as in .htaccess, it is okay. However, I don't want to use .htacess in my production server, so anyone had experience in moving configurations to httpd.conf? (I am using Apache 2.2) Thanks.

I have a single javascript function i want to call when a page has loaded. I haven't used jQuery before but have found the $(document).ready option. Can I use this to run my javascript and if so do where do I put my code. Would rather not put in a module unless it's necessary... Many thanks Gary

image gallery
by GaryL 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

I am using the image and image_gallery modules. Is there an easy way to find out if an image is in a gallery from within node-image.tpl.php or by changing theme_image_teaser() I'd like to change the link so that an image link on my blog goes straight to the gallery page instead of the image page So for example on: http://ramblings.garylawton.com/2009_05_18/Sunny/Avon the link from the image goes to: http://ramblings.garylawton.com/image/tid/63 instead of going to: http://ramblings.garylawton.com/node/1433 Any ideas appreciated, happy to write some sql to pull this from the taxonomy if there isn't a better way.... Cheers Gary

Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 6.13
by Shai Gluskin 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi Gang, I'm bidding on a site upgrade which is currently running on Drupal 4.5.5. The good (actually great) news is that there are no non-core modules running except for the image module. I haven't had direct access to the db and the node content page isn't filterable by content type in 4.5, out of the 1280 nodes, I believe that fewer than 50 are images. I figure I'd upgrade to the last 4.5 release which was 4.5.8, then to 4.6.11, then to 4.7.11, 5.19, 6.13. The db is MySQL. There are 1280 nodes. There is one vocabulary with about 130 terms. No important blocks. It's running a minimally customized version of Bluemarine. But I'm throwing the theme out completely, anyway. Even though it is five upgrades, this looks like it will be simple. Am I deluding myself? Are there any gotchas that I'm not seeing? Any advice, especially about what I may not be thinking of, would be most appreciated. Thanks, Shai
