All images disappeared. image_resize_filter problem?
by Jarry 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi, now this is strange: today I checked my website just to find out nearly all images are missing! Everything in: /sites/default/files/resize/resize/ /sites/default/files/resize/users/ was gone. Only empty directories remained. Other images saved somewhere else remained. How the hell could this happen?

Enabling Clean URLs in 6.19
by Rich Shepard 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

As the installation finished I was instructed to log in as the administrator, go to the administer >> site configuration >> clean urls section of the administrative interface, and look for the paragraph that reads as follows: <some text>. There is nothing on the page other than a radio box, a notice that my current configuration does not support clean URLs, and no paragraph or option to run the clean URL test. I must have missed something but I don't know what. Thanks, Rich

including profile edit form on a page...
by Kevin Davison 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

The following PHP is what I have in a page.tpl.php, and it worked before I upgraded Drupal 6.14 to 6.19 and enabled clean URLs (with Pathauto). Now when I submit a profile edit, the page just reloads quickly, but nothing is written to the database. Anyone know why? Need more info? Thanks! <?php global $user; // if the user is logged in if ($user->uid > 0) { module_load_include('inc', 'user', 'user.pages'); profile_load_profile($user); print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'Personal Information')); } else { // do something else } ?> OLD CODE... <?php /* global $user; $uid = $user->uid; if ($uid > 0) { include_once drupal_get_path('module', 'user') . '/user.pages.inc'; // print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user)); profile_load_profile($user); // var_dump($user); print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'Personal Information')); } */ ?>

Unserializing Data for Use in a View
by Shai Gluskin 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I'm creating a view of ubercart order products. I got the necessary data to be accessible to Views using Table Wizard (http://drupal.org/project/tw) The product attribute info is stored serialized in the "data" field on the uc_order_products table. Here is an example of the raw serialized data: a:5:{s:6:"kit_id";s:3:"570";s:6:"module";s:14:"uc_product_kit";s:10:"attributes";a:2:{s:9:"Attending";a:1:{i:0;s:26:"Jane > Doe, John Doe";}s:4:"Note";a:1:{i:0;s:45:"We are friends of Eric Smith and > Sandy > Smith";}}s:9:"shippable";s:1:"0";s:9:"unique_id";s:23:"4c7d632a8090c7.95333579";} I have no problem printing it out like above. Unserialized it looks like this: Array ( [kit_id] => 570 [module] => uc_product_kit [attributes] => Array ( [Attending] => Array ( [0] => Jane Doe, John Doe ) [Note] => Array ( [0] => We are friends of Eric Smith and Sandy Smith ) ) [shippable] => 0 [unique_id] => 4c7d632a8090c7.95333579 ) I want to print out: Jane Doe, John Doe Here is what views-view-field.tpl.php has to say: // $Id: views-view-field.tpl.php,v 1.1 2008/05/16 22:22:32 merlinofchaos Exp $ /** * This template is used to print a single field in a view. It is not * actually used in default Views, as this is registered as a theme * function which has better performance. For single overrides, the * template is perfectly okay. * * Variables available: * - $view: The view object * - $field: The field handler object that can process the input * - $row: The raw SQL result that can be used * - $output: The processed output that will normally be used. * * When fetching output from the $row, this construct should be used: * $data = $row->{$field->field_alias} * * The above will guarantee that you'll always get the correct data, * regardless of any changes in the aliasing that might happen if * the view is modified. */ This is what I'm putting in views-view-field.tpl.php: $data = unserialize($output); print $data['Attending'][0]; Nothing gets returned. What am I doing wrong? thanks, Shai

Problem with hook_block on Drupal 6.x
by Tim Gustafson 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, I've created a module whose sole purpose is to add a few banners to the left region of our sites. Here's the code I'm using: function banners_block($op) { if ($op == "list") { return array( "banners" => array( "info" => "Banners", "cache" => BLOCK_NO_CACHE, "weight" => 50, "status" => 1, "region" => "left", "visibility" => 0, "pages" => "", ), ); } else if ($op == "view") { return array( "subject" => "<none>", "content" => "<p>" . time() . "</p>\n", ); } } However, when I activate this module, it does not appear in the blocks configuration page and no content is added to the "left" region. I've emptied the cache, logged out and back in again, run cron, and nothing appears. If I put a little debug line like: echo "."; right after the 'if ($op == "list") {' line, it does display a period at the top of each page, so I'm sure that the module is being loaded and executed. It's just not displaying the block anywhere. If I put a similar debug line after the '$op == "view"' line, no dot gets displayed on any page. Am I doing something wrong?

Youtube video playing twice
by Lior Chefetz 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

wow... check this wierd bug. YouTube Video will autoplay, then two seconds later I can hear the audio start again in the background. Pausing the player only stops one instance of the video/audio. It's only on Internet Explorer. No probelms with Firefox. Here it is: http://www.dorchadashla.org/bina/talk/stalking-caring The way the video is implemented: I have a cck field with Embedded Media Field (emfield). the editor paste a youTube URL. The page is themed as node-content_type_name.tpl.php, where I print the code with:  <?php if ($node->field_bina_speaker_video[0]['view']): ?> <div id="bina-event-youtube"> <?php print $node->field_bina_speaker_video[0]['view']?> </div> <?php endif; ?> Someone had it happen to him, but there are no comments. http://drupal.org/node/835182 help! thank you!

Gmaps help
by Anisa 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi, all! Thank you for your support on my previous email. I'm trying to understand how to use the Gmaps module. I really don't understand anything, so it wouldn't be effective for me to waste everyone's time on the list. What I would really appreciate is if you could point out some good current HOW TO guides. I have been looking around, but everything seems rather old. (drupal 5, often!) This is what I want to do: I have a list of places I have been and places I want to go to. I have their addresses and names. Places I have been I have multiple pictures of. Places I haven't, I have varying degrees of information. I'd like one big map that shows markers for all places. There should be one color for places I have been, one color for places I haven't. You should be able to go from the marker to a page for that place. That place specific page should show a close up map, all the pictures, and any other information I have. I would prefer for that page to be one node, though I have seen things done with views. It would be great that if I created a new node of that type, a new marker showed up on the big map. Thank you for your help!

anonomous users and $_Get variables
by Mark Canney 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hello, We are having some trouble with using $_Get variables in Drupal with anonymous users. We have several pages using PHP input that take a variable from the query string. For example: echo $_GET['myvar']; For anonymous users, the GET variables sent in the query string are ignored, so the above code would not print anything. The strange thing is that this works fine for an authenticated user, i.e. if you are logged in the above code will print the value of myvar= sent in the query string. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to allow GET variables to work for anonymous users? Thanks in advance, -- Mark Canney Senior Systems Specialist Library & Technology Services Lehigh University 610-758-1432 mark.canney(a)lehigh.edu

Advice on availability-type module(s)
by Peter Horn 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi all, I'm looking at a "volunteer then chosen" situation. It would work something like this: 1. Member signs up, indicating name/location/qualifications, etc. [easy - core] 2. An "availability calendar" is set up for a period. 3. Each member can indicate, up to say a month ahead, his availability on a day-by-day basis (maybe two types of availability - single day or multi-day block). 3.5 Member can edit his availability. 4. When the occasion arises, the "customer" can view the whole calendar and accept some members' offers (mark them "used"). 5. some statistical views would be nice (e.g. customer can see who has been used for how many days this period.) [also easy] Mapping this to the real world, member <=> volunteer firefighter (specialist roles) customer <=> fire service management occasion <=> fire requiring specialist resources period <=> fire season (6-8 months) I'm sure there are one or more modules that either do all this out-of-the-box, or could be easily massaged into doing so. I just need steering towards it/them. Any suggestions gratefully received. [I've poked around a bit, and the availability and reservation modules I've seen aren't suitable.] TIA, Peter
