Passing multiple values into a single Views argument
by Neil Coghlan 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

I have a view where I have selected User:uid as an argument and I am using a sql query in the "Provide Default Argument" part. The problem is, usually, the sql query is passing muliple UIDs back. How would I pass all of them into the argument to be used by the view. At the moment, the view is only taking the first one. so, here is a simplified version of my php code: global $user; $result = db_query("SELECT node.uid FROM {node} WHERE node.type = 'profile'"); $member = db_fetch_object($result); return "$member->uid"; on my current db, this returns 3 UIDs...the view only takes the first one. Thanks Neil

Reviews automatically in category, how ?
by Taymour A. El Erian 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

I am trying to do a product review site with Drupal, I managed to work with views, fivestars but am confused. I want to have logged on users to be able to post reviews to already existing products or create a review for a new one. To do this I want my user to go let's say to electronics page and click post a review and in doing this he gets to write the review, choose category under electronics (let's say TV) and choose LCD under that. What I was able to do is put is put vocabulary (Electronics) under taxonomy and add terms (TV, LCD, etc ..). The problem is that this way I will have several vocabularies and the user has to choose from a long list which seems counter intuitive. I just want the categories under whatever section to show only things related to that section. I hope I explained it well and that you can help me guys with this. I have managed to create a menu on top with nice menus and in order to link it to nodes for categories (taxonomy), I used the /taxonomy/123 to point to each category page and in this page I want to be able see a link to add review under this category directly and not see the whole list of categories. I also created new content type called review and add taxonomy vocabulary to it using hierarchical taxonomy module. -- *Taymour*

Re: [support] Help with payment solution development(Post back url)
by Mutuku Ndeti 27 Nov '10

Thanks steve for the response. I asked the question the wrong way. After I post payment information to the providers url, the provider requires a url on my side where they can post back the results. From here I can get the results from the information posted by the provider and continue with processing the purchase. How do I do this in drupal?

School Archiving
by Ayath ULLAH 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hi, I've been looking through my school's archives and have found records dating back to well over a hundred years. It seems that nothing is in order and there is a lot to sort out. I would like to publish the documents onto a website and make it accessible to he public. I'd like to know if you know of Drupal applications which can be used to catalogue the data and make it searchable on a website. If there aren't any can you please suggest how I may be able toc reate my own. As I'm quite new to this concept let me know what should actually be in the database/catalogue (obviously things sucha s title,description and date have to be in there) I have alot of scanning to do- so I can publish everything. I was thinking of maybe doing it with an OPAC or Documnet Mangement System on Drupal - but I can't find any that will do the job. I'd like people to view the documnets on the webpage or on a lightbox but I don't want anyne to downlaod the files. Please let me know if you have any ideas, suggestions, comments. Many Thanks, ayathullah

Understanding how a theme 'works'
by Roger 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

I don't know if anyone can help me but I am in a big problem understanding how a theme works in Drupal6.19 I'm using Marinelli - Giordani to create a site www.drupal.eckankar.org.au. It's roughly ok but has problems I do not understand. The member's login is way off the bottom of the content wrapper. I found the <div class that handles it but cannot successfully reposition the components. I need the quote slide show to appear top right corner of the page, nit in the content, but if I use the blocks to relocate it it disappears. Also the designers have put a wide variety of .contentblocks to be all things to all people however it prohibits me from relocating some of the menu components which are in the .rsidebar and .lsidebar Basically I need all the output to appear in the .wrapper. if you go to the site and click on an underlined date in the calendar you can see what I mean. Another nagging issue is that in on Apple Mac the whole page is wrecked, it does not zoom. The logo goes up and left. It is position:relative to #page which does not alter in position or dimension. I do not know if I'm even explaining the problem right, it's very confusing as there seems to be overrides from the system and the Marinelli theme systems that I cannot find using Firebug. thanks in advance Roger

I thought about the problem after rereading your messages and decided to use the straight marinelli theme, not a sub theme, then just add the ek-logo with a large negative z-index which for some reason seems to work. The marinelli theme seems to have fixed the problems I was unknowingly building in. Roger
