local install fedora 14
by Pau 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hello, I have seen the guide on http://drupal.org/node/157602 about a local server setup. I think this is an excellent idea and I want to give it a try. I want to build a site and have it ready before I start paying a monthly fee to a host provider. However, my OS is fedora 14 If anybody happened to have a step-by-step guide to the local server installation and setup for it, I would be very thankful. Cheers, Pau

by Pau 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi, I think that says it all. I am the user of a system configured with AFS. I have a web page which is growing older and older and I would like to move to drupal, because every time I add a new item to the navegation bar, I have to edit every single html file etc. How do I install drupal on an AFS as a normal user? I have googled for it, no results. Thanks, Pau

Payment module
by Roger 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Is there a small use payment module not so comprehensive and complex as Ubercart. We need something that allows people to book and pay for events a couple of times a year and pay for books ordered through the year and at the events. But we need to audit every thing to Australian accounting standards so we will need to create print out for the accountant or hopefully save the data into a spreadsheet format that they can use. Can someone point me in the right direction thanks Roger

Paint a theme
by Roger 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

It is all done with the css code. There are instructions on creating your own css file and that is used to override the zen css code. You call your css file in the .info file in zen sub theme by making it last in the list. Someone please correct me if I'm not right. If you have a look in your zen subtheme folder you will see the zen.info or similar name. You enter your css file name in there. When you create your css file and save it in the sub theme folder use the same #names and .class names as in the zen theme folder and enter your own font, borders, backgrounds, widths, heights, positioning and so on. Mustardseed video, [Bob] did a video on css theming, it's a good one to watch, also Got Drupal has a couple of videos worth watching they are both excellent resources and tutorials.

Building website with POI (Points of Interests)
by Afan Pasalic 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi, I'm building a website about Route 66, for my own needs. Probably will not go public. I made page (as in content type) for each State (8) Route 66 going through. These pages will probably not have any content. More for Menu purpose only. Similar, I plan to make a page (content type) for each city. Menu links of these pages are actually sub-primary menu links: Primary menu: * Illinois > Chicago > Cicero > Joliet > ... * Missouri > St. Louis > Springfield > ... City pages will probably not have any content either. Now comes the pain: I have to start building POI (Points Of Interests). POI has to have Name, Address, City, State, Description. Geo Coordinates (Longitude & Latitude) - if known. I was thinking to create a content type for each city and that way "group" POIs, but something's tellig me it's not good idea. I know it's possible to create web form (I know there is module for webform) to enter POI but never used it and I'm not quite sure how can I group these entries by city? Also, I have to be able create something like Photo album about each POI to add any picture I found interesting about this POI (download fro Internet and upload to my Drupal site) and comment the picture. I need ability to "update" POI with new information (text) but it could be as a Comment on POI. I'm new in Drupal and I need help what directions I have to take? Which modules I need to use here... Any help appreciated. Thanks, Afan

php-code in block is not executed...
by Jarry 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi, I'm doing some stupid mistake here but I can not help myself: I created very simple block, using full-html format, with this block body : <?php include("ts3/ts3v.php"); ?> But when I configure it to be displayed on some page, it does not get executed, instead of that the very same text is shown. What am I doing wrong? Yet when I open my.site.tld/ts3/ts3v.php directly in browser it is correctly displayed with output as expected. So where is the problem? BTW, one more question: how could I get the above described block refreshed every 15 seconds?

Supporting Wysiwyg and geshi filter at the same time
by Alan Chandler 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

My personal web site has been built on Drupal 6 for some time now, although to be honest I haven't done much with it. I am now starting to consider migrating to drupal 7 and using it a bit more to write a blog. I am beginning to realise that I have some issues with using a Wysiwyg editor in combination with the geshi filter (gives pretty syntax highlighting to code segments). When I originally set the site up, I installed both the CKEditor module and the Wysiwyg module side by side as I thought the former needed the latter. Yesterday, after updating all the modules to the latest versions (in the 6.x series) I discovered for the first time that they don't seem to be playing nice together. In particular the CKEditor module required the CKEditor plugin in one place, and the Wysiwyg module required CKEditor plugin in sites/all/libraries. Anyway, I resolved that by removing the CKEditor module, and now just have the wysiwyg module loaded. However, I wanted to write an article with embedded code (bash script as it turns out), and wanted to insert a preformatted section with <code> surrounding the script. The idea being that a geshi filter is configured as an input filter and the <code> tag triggers it to add syntax highlighting to the code segment. However:- a) You set up wysiwyg to use the CKeditor on the appropriate input format (in my case filtered HTML) and then try and assign buttons for it to use. There doesn't appear to be a button to insert a <code> tag. So my first question, is there a way of configuring the editor/wysiwyg module so that this functionality can be provided? b) The editor seems to reformat code which I want to remain preformatted. In particular it seems to always remove the new lines. Is there any way to tell the editor not to reformat a certain section of the code? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk

Theme Queries
by Austin Einter 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi All I used CTI-Flex zen based theme last time with Drupal6. It was simple, I liked it very much. Howeever CTI-Flex is not ported for Drupal7, so I wanted to make a similar theme. I took Zen theme, and made a subtheme (using STARTERKIT) and it is working just as a plain zen sub-theme. Now the next step for me is how do I paint the header and footer region. How do I control the width of footer and header region. How do I set blocks background color, block header's background color. Best Regards Austin
