COPPA module not working as expected
by Rob Koberg 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I am using drupal-6.17 and the COPPA module coppa-6.x-2.0-beta1 and relatively new to PHP and Drupal. I have seen other emails about bugs/unexpected behavior which resolved through the latest version. Perhaps I am not understanding how to use it. I have added the profile_dob (date type) and parent_email (single-line textfield) through the Profiles admin interface. The parent_email is hidden onload so would be present if JS was disabled. I think this is how the module should be integrated. What I see in the user registration is a normal registration along with the date selects. I have setup the pparent_email to show onchange of the selects to a birthdate that would make the user under 13. I enter a date that triggers the parent_email, give it a value and submit the form. Now the user exists in the system and the profile_dob and parent_email are stored. The next form presented is the same registration form, now with a new parent_email field above the birthdate selects along with my hidden parent_email. This new registration form does not show the age selects with the correct values, but the new parent_email has the correct value, my custom one has no value. (Prior to this I had just tried with the profile_dob (no custom parent_email), and the same thing happens without showing my custom parent_email and of course no value in the new parent_email field.) I re-enter the form info using the same username, email, parent_email and birthdate. I get errors returned saying the username is taken and the email has already been used. Am I setting it up incorrectly? How is it supposed to work? thanks, -Rob

Contact form for node
by Nikhil Kala 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hello All, I have created a small business directory in Drupal 6. In that I have created a content type called business, Now I want to add a contact form or link of contact form for every node created using content type business. Once the user has submitted the form then a email should go to the specified email address of that business owner. Is there any module available for this OR any alternative way do achieve this?

Hi, on my Drupal site http://www.mothsoftware.de or .com I have a question regarding the htaccess file. The basic url works okay, but when navigating to a link the urls shown have an additional foldername it them, which is the folder the site lives in. How can I get rid of this foldername in the path? Current: http://www.mothsoftware.com/drupalmoth/content/download Wanted: http://www.mothsoftware.com/content/download I've tried to read up on htaccess, but right now it seems like greek to me. The existing htaccess is > RewriteEngine on > Options +FollowSymlinks > > RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} (/server-interface/|/webcontrol-scripts/|/webcontrol/|/webstats/|/webmail/|/webmail2/) > RewriteRule .* - [L,NS] > > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?beatrixwillius\.de$ > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/beatrixwillius/ > RewriteRule .* /home/mothsoftwarede/public_html/beatrixwillius%{REQUEST_URI} > > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mothsoftware\.com$ > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/drupalmoth/ > RewriteRule .* /home/mothsoftwarede/public_html/drupalmoth%{REQUEST_URI} > > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mothsoftware\.de$ > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/drupalmoth/ > RewriteRule .* /home/mothsoftwarede/public_html/drupalmoth%{REQUEST_URI} > > # WC DIRINDEX START > Options -Indexes > # WC DIRINDEX END Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards Trixi Willius http://www.mothsoftware.com Mail Archiver X: archive, clean and search email http://www.beatrixwillius.de Fractals, 3d landscapes etc.

Change Layout of attached files to nodes
by Matthias Fechner 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, I just learning drupal and some items are not clear for me. To get different types of file attachable to nodes I create with CCK several new filefield fields (field_file_docu - to hold documentation attachments, field_file_firmware - to hold firmwares for this node, field_file_other - to hold other files). I selected in CCK to number of values to unlimited, so I can add more then one file in each catagory. I added a group to group all downloads. If I create now a new content with the fields added I can upload files and they are displayed together with the node, very nice. But I do not like the way the attachments are displayed, I prefer a table view and I want to have more fields like download count, license and more fields displayed. For license I have no idea how I can add such a meta information to a attached file. I think I have to do this with views, but I played a little with it and was not successfully. Could please anyone explain or point me to a documentation that explains how I can change the layout for all attached files (filefield) in all nodes (globally). Thanks, Matthias -- "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Domain access module on shared hosting.
by Mutuku Ndeti 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Hellos, I have been trying to crack domain access module. I use shared hosting. My webhost seems not to support wildcard dns properly. when I setup wild card dns...I get the error "Accessing content by IP address is not allowed"(webhost error(not drupal error)).when I configure a dns A record...let's say test.mydomain.com to point to the wehost IP address, I get the same error. Same error occurs if I try configuring a dns CNAME record. Is there a work around for this? I also don't have access to httpd.conf for virtual host configuration Any work around? Thanks
