Problem creating lamp-vm.cfg
by Christopher Gray 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hi: I'm a complete beginner and novice with Drupal. The system I will use is going to work on Ubuntu 9.04. I started by doing an apt-get install for the version Ubuntu has available. I then consulted the handbook on installation at drupal.com and began setting up a virtual machine. I've gotten stuck at the command: vmbuilder vmserver ubuntu -c lamp-vm.cfg The command gives an error: "the path to the configuration file is not valid: lamp-v.mcfg. I hunted around and found lots of lamp files but nothing that looks like this. I apologize if this is a common question but got a 404 not found message when attempting to view archives of this list. Thanks for any help.

Hi, How do I display specific blocks in frontpage and blog page and to do it in reverse also.

" but it doesn't work. Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much. Regards, Richard R. Cahilig

Preprocessing CCK
by Brian Choc 25 Apr '10

25 Apr '10

Greetings, Theming video information (using embedded media & video fields) at the level of the Node template has been pretty reasonable, despite different video formats, because CCK puts handy #view variables in $node. However, I'm trying to use a Page preprocessor to pull some CCK video information at the page level using node_load, and it appears these #view variables have not been created at that point. This has lead me to start writing code to identify and interpret different video types, which (after just one video service type) has lead me to believe there must be a better way. Is there a good way to access or create the #view variables within Page preprocessing, or am I simply off-base in this approach? Thanks, Brian

by Mutuku Ndeti 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hellos, I am using drupal 6 and fckeditor for textarea. When users submit applications, they paste directly from word. This pastes with tag like "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"> <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ENSP4_3\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\04\clip_filelist.xml" /><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PersonName" downloadurl="http://www.microsoft.com"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>" I want to configure fck editor to allow direct pasting from word without using "paste from word" window I have also enabled "full html" for all input formats, but everytime I write somethin on the fckeditor, I get <p> and <br> tags at the end It is a multiligual site.

Facebook and OpenSocial
by Chew, Henry 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi drupalists, I have been trying to fetch profile information from other social sites like facebook, google, myspace etc into drupal accounts/profile and come across several modules as below. The main objective is to import profile information from Facebook, but if there're other alternatives that supports a bunch of social sites (including Facebook) like OpenSocial, I am open to it too. BTW does openSocial supports facebook at all? * OpenSocial Shindig-Integrator * Giyya Socialize (Paid solution?) * Facebook connect * Google Connect Any recommendations? Thank you so much.

Drupal 6.16 not working

Funny thing is I had 6.15 working for months but even after a fresh install of Drupal 6.16 it won't read Drupal in /var/www/html/mydir or in /var/www/html. If I change httpd.conf DocumentRoot to"/var/www/html/mydir when drupal is installed in "mydir" drupal starts. I've checked for overlaps or faults in/between httpd.conf and .htaccess, nothing apparent in either. If I set DocumentRoot back to /var/www/html then a separate drupal 6.15 installation for a trial web system starts in its own directory. Thanks Roger

multiple sites on one domain
by Roger 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

I have a single user system and need to work on 2 quite different sites on my home pc before transferring them to the isp . Where can I find instructions on how to set up and work on 2 quite separate web pages. I guess they will use the same database so how would I separate each site so the components and database info can be transferred to a live ISP site. At present I have separate drupal installations. I believe there is a way to have one theme-set as the shop front - main page that everyone sees and another theme-set of pages for members. Where can I get instructions for beginners about this please. Off subject-- Is it worth going over to Drupal 7 now instead of having to upgrade down the track. TIA Roger

A standard technique for module confirmation dialogues?
by Doug 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

I'm writing a Drupal6 module that does read/write/updates to my own tables in the database using the forms API. There are a few instances where I would like to present a confirmation dialogue before updating the database, but I'm not sure what is the standard way to implement that? For example if I have a menu item that calls a function mymodule_foo() like this: function mymodule_foo() { return drupal_get_form('mymodule_foo_form') ; } function mymodule_foo_form(&$context) { $form[] = array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t('Review table Foo'), ); // .... whatever form data $form['#validate'][] = 'mymodule_validate_foo_form'; $form['#submit'][] = 'mymodule_submit_foo_form'; return $form; } function mymodule_validate_foo_form(&$form, &$form_state) { } function mymodule_submit_foo_form(&$form, &$form_state) { // update {mymodule_foo} table in database drupal_write_record('mymodule_foo',$record,$foo_id); } I guess I'm just wondering if there is some standard approach to generating an intermediate confirmation page before actually making the drupal_write_record() call(s)? thanks Doug
