sending real time messages to users
by Christopher M. Jones 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi, all. I'm looking for a way to send users real time messages about system and module events. I want to: 1. Set up rules to send messages based on, e.g., nodequeue updates, etc. 2. Allow users to select their receipt method 3. Allow users to select which types of message go where: e.g., messages from other users to to one place while queue update messages go to another 4. Provide a real-time notifications block where messages are posted immediately, without a page reload. The points I'm stuck on are the multiple methods depending on message type, or message source. I don't see that the notifications / messaging modules allow multiple send methods at once. Nor do they allow me to distinguish among different types of message to configure per type sending. I'm thinking that what I want for real-time notifications is some sort of xmpp setup, but I'm not finding the XMPP Framework to have exactly what I need, nor do I really understand the implementation. Also, I'm running in shared hosting, so I don't think I'm able to set up my own xmpp server. So what I'm asking is this: 1. What's the best way to send system messages to users real-time? 2. Where can I find a nice summary of messaging technology in Drupal, to help put all the modules in context? 3. Is there a module I should consider, beyond the usual suspects?

Downloadable API documentation
by Maykel Moya 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

I'm looking for API documentation for offline reading. Google haven't been of much help. Besides it has been impossible to me download the site with wget because of the pattern functions/foo/6 instead of something like 6/functions/foo. I'm not interested in getting older versions documentation. So, please, any help with this? Saludos maykel

form_alter and form_form_id_alter. The form are not the same.
by Michel Morelli 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi. I have a cck's node. I need to change the value of some fields when the "add" form is created. I know that I need to use hook_fom_alter() or hook_form_form_id_alter(). But now the question: why the output of a print_r($form) executed in the hook_form_form_id_alter() function is not the same that I receive if I exec the print_r() in the hook_form_alter() function. The first does not contain the cck fields. Is only a my installation problem or is normal ? M. -- Michel 'ZioBudda' Morelli michel(a)ziobuddalabs.net Consulenza sistemistica in ambito OpenSource.

Online help/Wiki??
by Emma Badger 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I did look at Drupal a year ago and I was very impressed. I'm considering using Drupal to store online help and video tutorials. I've Googled it and it seems feasible, I just wanted a little more info. For example a category of Portal, with a sub category of Web Parts and then maybe a page for each Webpart. I imaging the default Drupal would easily handle that. I expect I could just embed the flash tutorial into the page? Access to the tutorials would be on a registered user type basis - i.e. only certain users would be able to access them. I think Drupal could handle that? I'd like to read a bit more on the Wiki type cross referencing - where a term links to the relevant page - and how it works. Does anyone know the technical term for it? Do you think Drupal is a good fit, or do you know of anything more suitable? Does anyone have a view on using Wordpress instead? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

White screen of death
by Tony Bazeley 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi all, Attempting to access my drupal site shows a completely blank page - no timeout - just a blank page. I did a much overdue upgrade to Drupal 6.13, On completion was able to log in OK, change themes (back to 4 seasons), get out of maintenance mode, and test that a couple of pages worked OK. I then upgraded to the latest rootcandy theme (the theme was disabled and the system option was selected as the administrative theme) This is where the trouble started Initially all output was unthemed. I logged in as administrator and went to the themes page - when I did this WSOD commenced on all page requests. I can now access nothing I have checked the WSOD page http://drupal.org/node/158043 I can't see anything in the apache error log files. http://www.example.com/admin/reports/dblog yields a blank screen I have also edited index.php to enable errors as suggested on the WSOD page - no change Removed the rootcandy theme from /sites/all/themes - but still no change Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tony
