Form Doubt
by Austin Einter 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi All As per form quickstart guide, forms can have #type as 'values'. Example: <?php $form['foo'] = array('#type' => 'value', '#value' => 'bar') ?> Later point of time, we can retreive the value as $form_state['values']['foo'], and value retreived should be 'bar'. In my module hook_form api, I have added $form['companies'] = array( '#type' => 'value', '#value' => '1', ); In hook_form_alter, I want to get the value of $form_state['values']['companies'] and increment $form_state['values']['companies'] by 1. Is this allowed or Drupal has any restriction. When I access the value of $form_state['values']['companies'], it just gives me empty value (''). What could be problem here? Regards Austin

Why SubTheme?
by Fred Jones 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Here http://drupal.org/node/225125 one can find a few ideas why one might want to use a subtheme. But if I have a site that needs only one theme, it's just one site, and there's no real interest in playing with ideas of different looks, is there any reason to use a subtheme of Zen or Blueprint as opposed to how I always do it and just make a fresh, 'regular' theme? Thanks.

Re: [support] Special characters in menus

You can use keyboard shortcuts to accomplish this. Type them directly into the text box in Drupal. I've done this many times. For Mac: option key + r = ® http://www.nouilles.info/keyboard_shortcuts.html Cheers, Gary Broyhill Web Developer Office of Marketing & Communications Lenoir-Rhyne University LR.edu (828)328-7379 @lenoirrhyne ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:27:19 -0600 From: Ryan LeTulle <bayousoft(a)gmail.com<mailto:bayousoft@gmail.com>> Subject: [support] Special characters in menus To: support(a)drupal.org<mailto:support@drupal.org> No Google luck on this one.

Referal system on purchase
by Mutuku Ndeti 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, I am looking for a way to implement a referal system on drupal- -x refers y to purchase a product on site x -y purchases product P. when purchasing, they enter the details of the referer(x), and x gets a point in their account - when x logs into his account, he can see the details of the people people he refered. Is this possible with drupal modules? -- Tel:254722490994 www.agile.co.ke | www.zetu.co.ke

Creating duplicate content (on purpose)
by DTH 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

There's a some pages on a site where the content (and title etc) of the node are identical, although the url (and it's place in the menu system) are different. So for example Ideally I don't want to have to copy and paste everytime the content is updated. The main issue is having it in a second place on the menu tree: creating an alias so that foo/item is an alias of bar/item, for example, means that the bar menu is triggered at foo/item One way I can think of doing it is creating a "master" node, along with 'blank' secondary nodes, and using hook_nodeapi to use the content from the master node when a secondary node is called. This seems slightly hacky. Is there a module that already does this? Alternatively, rather than creating the secondary nodes, can I use hook_menu_alter or something to add a second menu item that references the original?

Magical CSS from nowhere!
by James Bensley 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Anyone else have the rotor module installed (http://drupal.org/project/rotor)? In rotor-view-rotor.tpl.php is this line of code: <div class="rotor-content"><?php print $row; ?></div> On an actual page this generates this html: <div class="rotor-content" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; opacity: 1; display: block; z-index: 10; "> <div class="rotor-content-detail"><p><img src="http://site.com/picture.jpg"></p></div> </div> Where does that damn style entry come from, I need to change it and it just seems to come from nowhere! Anyone got any ideas before I completely explode? :) -- James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

D7 image edit problem
by Marty Landman 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Just talked to client and tested again - this seems to be an IE8 problem. Works fine on FF. Marty ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've got a Drupal 7 site set up with an editor role with permission to do anything with nodes short of administering them. And a content type with an image field. The admin can freely add and remove and re-add an image. The editor though is only being allowed to create the node and add an image. Editor isn't being allowed to remove the image, even one they've created. Nothing shows up on the error log or the screen, the ajax widget runs briefly when remove is clicked, and so I don't know where to look next.

Saving and Retreiving Form Data
by Austin Einter 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi All I have a requirement, where I need to have a form and expected fields are - Name Contact number Email ID Resume (File upload) I hope we can create this form either by using CCK or by Webform. Once user enters the data, I want to save these data to a table in database. Later point of time I will retreive the data from database for showing in same form. Now my questions are - 1. How do I save the data (from above fields such as name, contact number, email id, resume file) to database. 2. How do I retreive the data from database at a later point of time. Given the number of database related operations needs to be performed, I am looking forward the execution speed should be faster. From this point perspective, which module you will suggest the CCK for Webform. Best Regards, Austin
