installing a test server on a machine running Windows 7 - 64 bits OS

Hello Support: The steps listed on the help page for setting up a test site mention XAMPP, as the easiest way to install drupal for the purposes of running a test site. It also indicates that the steps listed there are relevant for the installation of a test server on a machine running Windows Vista or Windows XP. The machine which I intend to use to run my test site runs Windows 7 64-bits OS; are the steps listed on http://drupal.org/node/307956 "Simple install of Drupal on XAMPP" equally applicable, or is there something I need to look out for before proceeding with the installation? In a comment page, somebody suggested using Microsoft's WPI instead of XAMPP (but the comment was recorded in June) does anybody have suggestions/thoughts on this point? Thanks for your help, Elena

custom notification system
by Aldo Martinez Selleras 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

I'm working on a system developed in drupal. In this system create trophies to be assigned to users according to the behavior of these in different ways. Trophies will have categories related to aspects. I need each time you create one of these categories will send a notification to the user webmaster and this will give permission to be believed or not the proposed category. The problem I see is that all these modules I created without using precisely the nodes in drupal, I mean, use separate tables, and I think that the application of the actions and triggers will not adequate as i need, using the hook_nodeapi. Someone can give me any suggestions on how we could create a notifications system that meets my expectations?

Mark, Thanks -- I think I figured out what the problem is. I have the content type set so only authenticated users can submit it. But it was still visible to non-authenticated users (my mistake), so if you fill out the form anonymously, it didn't create a node accessible through Drupal content management, but did enter values in the database, which the view was picking up. Not totally sure what is happening here because I have a filter set to display "published content" only in the view. But I do believe that's the issue.

MySQL Tables / CCK Nodes / Views

I have created a View that displays a list of a links to nodes. The nodes displayed are a CCK content type that I created. If I delete one of these content items, it still shows in the View, although if you click on the link, it goes to a 404. I have to go into the MySQL table and delete it manually to get it out of the View. I know that this has to be something basic that I'm doing wrong, but I can't see it. Any ideas are welcome!

content/node translation question
by Vishwanath T. K. 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi all, I have create a simple website containing 6 static web pages using drupal. Around 4 pages created are forms containing various form fields. Now, i have to convert the same into a multilingual website. I do not want to create a separate page for the forms as i need only the form field lable(s) to be translated into multiple languages and not the field data (which will be in english only). For example, the form contains fields like: Name Middle Name Surname Qualification My question: Can i simply create a .po file containing translations for the above mentioned strings ? This will help me customize the form later, for example, like re-arrange the position of fields. Can someone please guide me on this. Regards, Vishy

Using another database table
by Roger 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I have downloaded our documents database which contains 600 pdf and doc files. It is mysql but not drupal. How can I bulk transfer those pdf's to drupal database - document content type? Views doesn't seem to permit file handling. I need to be able to set up a way of selecting documents, deleting or rejecting the unsuitable pdf and doc files once in drupal. thanks in advance Roger

Error messages in Drupal 7 upgrade
by prothero 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi. I'm getting the following error messages when I Edit content on a Drupal page, version 7. Notice: Undefined index: description in field_multiple_value_form() (line 146 of/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/es/modules/field/field.form.inc). Notice: Undefined index: required in field_multiple_value_form() (line 164 of/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/es/modules/field/field.form.inc). Notice: Undefined index: required in field_multiple_value_form() (line 193 of/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/es/modules/field/field.form.inc). I just upgraded a small test Drupal 6 site to Drupal 7. I'm using the Bartik 7.0-beta2 theme. I can't get the dropdown menus in the Main Menu tabs, Primary Links to drop down. I only get the link to the page specified for the parent link. This worked fine in Drupal 6. Suggestions would be very welcome. Regards, Bill Also, the menus in the Main William A. Prothero http://earthednet.org/

Re: [support] Upload pdf, xls and doc files
by Roger 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi Maurice Yes Drupal 6 is right. Have filefield installed. I don't want to give contributors access to /sites/default but to a communal repository somewhere on the server which can be reviewed by a responsible person with accept or reject permission. I would prefer that files are uploaded then reviewed, then the responsible person places them in /sites/default/ some_directory. Begs a question. Is it secure to let files be uploaded to /sites/default, am I being overly pedantic? Roger > Hi Roger, > > I assume you are using Drupal 6. Are you using core file module or > filefield.
