Connecting CCK Fields
by Steve Kessler 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Hey Drupal Community! I am trying to come up with a way to link three CCK fields together so that when you add multiple values to the same node you have three connected CCK fields in this case. The use is when someone works on a case tracker case they should have the date, the hours worked, as well as their user name. We don't want to have to make a new node each time for this. Another use case is users upload pictures and the admin needs an excepted check box for each uploaded image on the same node. I hope I am making sense. If anyone has an idea of how to make this work I would appreciate it. Thanks, Steve Steve Kessler Denver DataMan 303-587-4428 <http://www.denverdataman.com/content/enewsletter-signup> Sign up for the Denver DataMan Free eNewsletter

How to embed video in a story?
by AM Concepcion 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi, I have a Drupal 6.1 web site; mainly a blog, that recently went live with the help of a developer. I'm still learning my way around it. (I'm much more familiar w/WordPress.) How do I embed a video in a story? I tried ... made sure input method was set to Full HTML ... but when I paste in my embed code, it doesn't work. -- If I paste it into the HTML (source) window, when I click Update, the code disappears from the edit story window. (If I open the HTML window again, the code is gone). -- I paste it directly into the TinyMCE window, it appears as text in the published story Do I need a module? Does it make a diff. that I'm not using CCK/Views, but using Taxonomy (site was originally developed for v4). Everything else works great on the site. Here's the embed code if it makes a diff: <object width="425" height="256"><param name="movie" value="http://images.tv.adobe.com//swf/player.swf"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="fileID=2204&context=146&embeded=true&environment=production"></param><embed src="http://images.tv.adobe.com//swf/player.swf" flashvars="fileID=2204&context=146&embeded=true&environment=production" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="256"></embed></object> thanks! AM

Adding a field to my View deletes all fields in the view.
by Steven Scotten 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Sorry to say, but the subject line sort of sums it up. I'm using Views 6.x-2.6 and also have Bonus: Views Export 6.x-1.0- beta4. Drupal 6.14. I'm creating a feed view with a lot of fields in the view, and one filter. The magic number seems to be 79. I can add 78 fields with no problem, but when I add the 79th and save the view, I get the messages: • The view has been saved. • View hook called. Just like I normally would. This time, though, under "Fields" and "Filters" I have "None defined." It is repeatable as is, but I have not created a separate installation to test it in a vacuum. I know I'll have to do that, but for obvious reasons this is going to be a heinous job to reproduce, so I'm hoping someone can beat me to the punch with a commonly known limit or bug or anything. Is this familiar? Steve PS I have of course searched the Views issue queue, and I can't find any instance of this happening to anyone else.

Search Lucene API vs Faceted Search
by Roberto Gorjão 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello! I would like to add faceted searching functionality to my site. I am considering these two modules: - Faceted Search (http://drupal.org/project/faceted_search) - Search Lucene API (http://drupal.org/project/luceneapi) I have no experience implementing this kind of search or with any of these modules. I would appreciate to get any opinions or feelings about this issue, specially from anyone who has tried both as my main issue right now is to choose between them. Many thanks for any help. Roberto

node reference as text field
by sivaji j.g 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

I would like to have node reference to work like text field sometimes. I am developing a social networking site. One of the content type in my site is "Event" it has two autocomplete node reference field to content type "venue" and "band" respectively. (Registered users are allowed to create nodes of any content type). The thing i would like to achieve here is the "band" and "venue" field in "Event" content type should turn into normal text field when the node being referred is not in the auto-complete list. Is there any module or API function to do this ? I found nr_autocomplete [1] module in google search which does something similar to what i need but it is available only for drupal 5. Please share your thoughts on this. [1] http://drupal.org/project/nr_autocomplete -- Thanks Sivaji

users profiles and views
by andy baxter 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi, I am working on a site where we have users with cck profiles (using content-profile). I want to have a list of users in a grid view, with just the profile image and title displayed in the grid, with links to the user's home page. The problem I'm having is that user views only allow you to display the view as fields, not as nodes, so I can't see an easy way of doing this. I tried a solution where the view lists the users' profile nodes instead of their user pages, which works reasonably well, but isn't quite right, because (e.g.) if the user has a blog, the profile page doesn't show their blog. I can probably find a way of making it work, but it seems like a situation where there are lots of things pulling and pushing in different directions, so I thought I would ask for help on what's the simplest way of doing this. See: http://base.tikvanet.org:8001/experiment/ for a demo of the site. cheers, andy baxter lancaster uk.

Creating a node and taxonomy term in one action
by Clarke Robin 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I would be grateful if someone can let me know of a way to solve a problem I am facing. I manage a local sporting team's website. The site has what most team/club sites would have: - A list of up coming events (e.g. "Regional Finals 2009", "End of season party", etc). - Image gallery - News section The list of upcoming events is a simple view of a custom Content Type ("event"). (Fields are name, date, description.) The image gallery is a view of another CCK type, with imagefield. The news section is a view of another CCK type ("news"). So far nothing very complicated. I would like to be able to assign taxonomy to images and news so that items can be tagged to the event that the photo was taken at (or news story was written about). This is easy to do - just create a vocabulary and add new terms to it every time there is a new event. But the problem I face is that when a new event is scheduled, the user who adds the event to the site, will have to do two things: - Create the event node. - Add a new term to the event vocabulary. And the problem is that my users will forget to this second step. So uploaded images will never be taged to the event. Is there a way that I can create a new node *and* add the new taxonomy term in one process flow? And can the two be managed (so that if the event title is corrected, the term should be corrected as well.)

CVS Update Throws Error
by Shai Gluskin 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Just getting around to updating my sites to 6.14 and on the first one I got this error: cvs [update aborted]: cannot open .new.default.s: Permission denied > This was the command I was using: cvs update -r DRUPAL-6-14 -dP It looks like it was in the middle of working on the the sites/default directory at the time. I ran update.php without errors and the site seems fine. Did CVS finish the update? How can I tell? If it didn't, what is the problem and how do I fix it. Thanks, Shai
