Refunding and Store Layout and Themes (Ubercart)
by Ayath ULLAH 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hi All, I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. I will be using ubercart to create a store for a service based e-commerce system. I'll be using the userpoints module as a paymnet system. I was wondering if there was any way to refund customers userpoints if the order gets cancelled or rejected by the admin. Also does anyone know of any modules which will help me get all my services (products) onto one node. I don't need any images just a simple dropdown list of all my products and then depending on the users selections more fields are shown to fill out. Is there any way to assignt different sellers to different products- so only that seller will be able to process that order. One more thing... I really like the default garland theme but I just needed a few enhancements such as the buttons to be more stylish and the navigation to be a bit more slick. I don't want to change the layout but just the looks and colours. Any tweaks to suggest would be helpful. Are there any themes already which is based on garland but a bit customised. That's all. Many thanks in advance for all your suggestions. Kind regards, Ayath ULLAH

View problem
by Roger 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

We have a members content entry form which has a title field number of drop down selections for choice of books and other literature, a date selection, From, To and Repeat for events. Set up a view to display the entries, works when logged as admin, all good. However when logged in as a member, the view does not display in a page, menu item or block. Roles are "Authenticated User" and "Authenticated member", there are 4 types of Authenticated member. Permissions are set for viewing all of the fields but not for edit. The page, block and menu display when 'Authenticated member' is deactivated but this means that everyone can view the result. It's got me stymied, can't figure out what's wrong. Can someone help please Thank you Roger

I don't actually have any question, but wanted to get my feet wet and at least say hello. I'll be working on a Drupal site for a none profit organization and figure at some point I might have a question or at the very least might want to read what others are asking. I've got a local drupal test environment set up on my windows laptop using xammp. the organization I work for has a linux site where I have second semi production drupal site (both are 6.x site right now) I've been debating on going with 7.x ... but figured I hold off for a bit on that. I'm pretty much in the learning stage now, working thru the Pro-Drupal book that uses version 6.x so that is why I'm going to stick with that for the moment. My first proof of concept will be a survey form. I've installed the webform module and it seems pretty easy to use. The results page is not too exciting, so I plan on doing something else to display parts of the results in a more graphic form (pie chart, bar graphs etc) Will need to research more on the options available to me in that area.

I would do something with the User Points module. Here is User Points for Ubercart http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_ubercart - but it only has a Drupal 5 branch. Here is a list of other User Point extension module http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_contrib to help you get the test of the way.

Unlock Server
by Ayath ULLAH 23 Dec '10

Hi All, I am having some difficulty creating an ecommerce shop using drupal. However it is not the normal ecommerce shops that we are used to seeing on the web. It is essentially a web portal to unlock people's phone's based on the models they select and the phone information they provide. Here's a list of what features I would like to have on the site: It shouldn't look like a traditional web-shop but more like a web portal or server. Ability to select products from a dropdown list.After selecting the customer should be required to enter some more information (IMEI numbers etc.)when the customer does finally chekout credits are deducted from their account based on how many codes they've purcahsed and what each product costs.Of course they will have to purchase a certain number of credits beforehand using paypal/google checkout etc.When the customer does submit the information/complete the transaction- the data should be stored in a backend database for the administrator (me) to see and submit back unlock codes. Then perhaps I was thinking of customizing it so customers could see summary stats of what they've bought and what its cost them/lists of pending orders. With similiar features being available for the admin user as well.Once i get the core feature running then I might think about customising it. I am having great difficulty doing this-does anyone have any tips or custom modules that can get me going. Kind regards, Ayath ULLAH

Re: [support] overriding a theme's css

Yeah I was afraid of that. Wish there was something like overriding the tpl.php files but nooo. And alas I didn't write the site to begin with so too late for doing things right to start with.

whats the best way to have tabbed panes in drupal 6.x and 7.x
by Kamal Palei 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi All I have very limited knowledge on Drupal. I have installed Drupal 6.x, I have made the front page. Once user logs in, it lands in my login destination panel page (configured usning login destination module). I want in my login destination page, I should have around 3 tabbed panes. I downloaded quicktabs module, using quicktabs module created a block (having 3 tabs). Added the block to login destination panel page. I am able to see the tabbed panes as expected. Now please clarify --------------------------------------------- 1. Is this the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 6.x ? Here I face a minor problem. I am using CTI-Flex theme (a zen sub-theme), I have configured different colors for header, footer, background etc (I have installed color picker module). The login destination page (that has tabs), looks bit odd, it does not have the configured colors for header, footer and background. So my front page headr/footer/background color, login destination page headr/footer/background color are entirely different. Any idea what needs to be done. 2. What is the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 7.x, as my plan is there to upgrade to Drupal 7.x 3. Will quicktabs work with Drupal 7.x Regards Kamal On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 9:51 AM, Marty Landman <mlandman(a)face2interface.com>wrote: > Yeah I was afraid of that.

Re: [support] d6 conversion problem
by Marty Landman 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Well I cleared up the blank screen by running update.php, but after getting into the D5 -> D6 conversion a bit realized that with several content types and views and thousands of nodes this was a much bigger job than I'd bid for so spoke to the client and we're settling on an update to the latest D5 version instead... for the time being.
