Hi all, I've to move users from a legacy system to D5. In the legacy system the user name for login was the email. Users will produce some public content. In many places drupal uses the user.name to refer to users but I can't of course use users' emails to refer to users. I can't even force the users to change the way they login. So they have to continue to be able to login with email, password. One way would be to automatically fill name with something auto-generated during import and change the login process (looking for some clean idea that won't involve changing core, form_alter?). Any other suggestion? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

OT: color swatches for drupal
by Luke 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello This is probably OT, unless there is a Drupal way to do this. For a client, I am designing a Drupal and UC based site. Some of the products require the buyer to choose a color from a specific range (think carpets and such). On their previous hand-coded site, they had a little tool into which they could enter a hex RGB value, and the site would show the color (one for each color option). I was thinking that a better way might be to provide a gif or jpg image for each color, using the UC option images module. However, how to generate those images, which would essentially be little blocks of solid color, is the question which is plaguing me. Surely this is not a unique problem. I found closed source Windows based programs (ColorImpact, for example) which claim some such capability, but not only does that seem like overkill, it seems as if there should be some simple way to go about this using an open source option. Ideas? Thanks Luke

Access denied/permissions
by Emma Badger 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I have a problem accessing content with the anonymous user. An example of the original URL for the content is /drupal/recruitment- overview and the anonymous user can see this page. The content is actually being accessed via a View (unrestricted access) from the URL /drupal/taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/58/26 where 26 is the node ID. The admin user can see the content of /drupal/taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/ 58/26 but the anonymous user gets You are not authorized to access this page. The anonymous user has 'access content' and 'access all views permissions'. If I give the anonymous user 'administer content types' permissions I can see the content of /drupal/taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/ 58/26 without logging in, but this means that anyone can create content, which is not what I want. I don't think this is related to Views as if I rename the View the the administrator gets a blank page (I'm using taxonomy_treemenu where the View name is hard coded) where as the anonymous user continues to get You are not authorized to access this page. The You are not authorized to access this page message is coming from index.php. Does this mean that the system doesn't recognise the URL /drupal/ taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/58/26 when I'm not logged in as admin as is in essence telling me that the page is not found? Are permissions associated to URLs in this way? I've tried using the Devel module to clear the cache and rebuild the treemenus. Using the Devel module to Collect query info and Display query log doesn't give me anything on /drupal/taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/58/26 (although it seems to work elsewhere on the site) so I thought that maybe there was a redirect to this page so I switched on Display redirection page which still doesn't give anything. Looking at /drupal/recruitment-overview logged on as admin I get the Devel Access permissions by user box which shows Guest as view - yes update - no, delete - no, which is what I want. Looking at /drupal/ taxmenu/menu-ol-hlp/node/58/26 I don't get the Access permissions by user box. Any help would really be appreciated, thanks.

Ubercart and DHTML menu
by Damian Soriano 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi! I am using Ubercart and DHTML Menu on Drupal 6. For the DHTML Menu I have the options "Animated sliding effect" and "Keep only one menu open at a time" selected. I create the following menu: A |--B | |--C | |--D |--E which is shown in a block and starts like A when first entering the web page (A is not expanded). If the items C, D and E points to a content or a view It works fine: When clicking A the item is expanded showing B and E; when clicking B, it shows C and D; and finally, when clicking C it goes to the correct link and the menu tree is still expanded (with the A and B items expanded). However, if the items C points to an Ubercart catalogue (ex: path catalog/12), when expanding the hole tree and clicking C, while it goes to the correct page, the menu tree is collapsed and only the A item is shown. I am not using a menu generated by Taxonomy Menu, nor the Ubercart product auto-generated menu, but a menu I created myself. Anyone has found the same problem, or know how can I make to have the tree structure preserved when entering a catalogue via a menu item? Thanks! Damián

Taxonomy and the database
by Néstor 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi Drupalers, I am playing with taxonomy and I am looking at the database and I not able to tell how does the node table ties in with the vocabulary table. There is no field in the node table that tells me that the node is part of a category. How can I tell what type of vocabulary/term/category a node belongs to? Thanks, Nestor :-)

Organic Groups problem in 6.x - no admin access

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone. I filed this support request with OG a few months ago: http://drupal.org/node/473464 This is what I said in the support request: > If I try to manage members of a group for any group I manage > ([site]/og/users/[id_number]/faces, I get the 'Access denied' page. > This has been happening for a few months, across several releases of > drupal 6 core and OG 6.x-x.

A setting in the database? > Please help soon, this has been a truly annoying problem I just > haven't had time to look at and hoped some new release would resolve. I have emailed at least one OG module admin. I have sent chats over IRC about the problem. I have had zero response. This problem is a growing problem because I have months worth of requests to join groups that I can't do anything about. If I can't have a basic user group system running, I really must move on to a different CMS, but I really don't want to do that. I love so many other things about Drupal. Can anyone help me?

taxonomy_treemenu module/views/Cannot use string offset as an array
by Emma Badger 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

I'm using the most recent versions of Drupal, Views and Taxonomy Treemenu. The taxonomy treemenus are generating successfully, using the default view (taxonomy_router_term). I'm having problems accessing the content when I'm NOT logged in as admin. I'm using the default view (taxonomy_router_node) and access is set to unrestricted. The 'authenticated user' (which I understand is everyone that is not logged in?) gets Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /sites/all/ modules/taxonomy_treemenu/taxonomy_treemenu.module on line 2367 whereas the admin user gets to see the content. If I give the authenticated user 'Administer Nodes' permissions I do not get the error and I do see the content, however that means that anyone can create content, which is not what I want. Interestingly applying all create, delete, edit permissions (but NOT administer nodes) brings back the error. This is the code. case "taxmenu/%/node/%/%": //Treemenus have no node links. To control exansion, we target the //parent tid link. $item['href'] = 'category/' . $item['page_arguments'][0] ['vid'] . $item['page_arguments'][1]['parent_path']; break; Specifically, line 2367 is $item['href'] = 'category/' . $item['page_arguments'][0] ['vid'] . $item['page_arguments'][1]['parent_path']; Logged in as admin $item['page_arguments'] returns: Array ( [0] => Array ( [menu_name] => menu-ol-hlp [title] => Online Help [description] => Jane Systems online help [vid] => 13 [tid] => 0 [options] => a:3:{s:6:"filter";a:0:{}s:6:"fields";a:0:{}s: 4:"sort";a:1:{s:3:"nid";a:1:{s:5:"order";s:3:"ASC";}}} ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [tid] => 55 [title] => System Setup ) [1] => Array ( [tid] => 68 [title] => Authorisation Centre ) [parent_path] => /55/68 ) [2] => 25 ) But when I'm not logged in I get a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:3;i:2;i:4;} I can see that $item['page_arguments'] isn't being turned into an array, but I can't see why. I've been trying to trace back $router_items to see how it gets generated, but I can't seem to find it. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks
