placement of help text for field and theming
by Benjamin Jacob 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Hi All, Is there a way to place help text for a given CCK field just below the label, instead of the usual help text below the actual field? This because when I have a multi-valued field (say references), the help text appears way below the last value entry. A user might typically miss out on the help instructions. Also, anyway to theme the text as well (instead of the usual allowed tags), say, setting a background for specific field's help text only? Thanks in advance. - Ben.

Suggest file uploader/manager module
by prothero 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Could someone suggest a file manager for uploading images? I installed webFM, but it doesn't seem to be maintained. Is there one where the authors are updating it to D7? What do you suggest? I like webFM, as it can resize and create thumbnails, etc. But, no maintenance or upgrade is not good. Thanks, Bill William A. Prothero http://earthednet.org/

Javascript and CCK fields
by Joel Willers 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I’m looking to do calculations between CCK fields. I’ve found some cool ways to add Javascript to a page, but before I get too far into this, I figured I’d ask for some quick advice to see if there was a better way. Basically, I’m looking to do math on an ‘onchange’ event. If Field A is set (base) and Field B is changed, Field C and D automatically update. Similarly, if C changes, B and D update, and same for D changing B and C. I’m planning to use the technique described at: http://switchbackcms.com/blog/right-way-include-javascript-your-drupal-form, but at http://drupal.org/node/322290 (#7) there is talk of adding a theme function, which I’m guessing I could do using a nice tpl.php file. Any suggestions are welcome, especially if there is an already existing module for field relationships. Joel

Re: [support] Drupal 7 Multi-site question

The problem is the value in the filename field of the system table for the relevant modules and themes. If you can't edit the table via phpMyAdmin or something, then perhaps disabling them, removing them from their old locations but leaving them in the new location, and navigating to the modules list and themes listing will pull in the new values.

I've always used IMCE and have had no problems with it, and it has both D6 and D7 versions. It integrates well with several of the WYSIWYG editors, too. http://drupal.org/project/IMCE Of course I am always looking for a better way, so I'm going to check out the Imagefield/Insert method too.

Drupal 7 Multi-site question
by Ryan LeTulle 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Is it straightforward to convert a working Drupal 7 site to a Drupal 7 multisite configuration? I need to convert a site that is working with everything in the typical sites/all/themes,sites/all/modules,sites/default/settings.php,sites/default/files configuration into a sites/sub.example.com... configuration. I have tried moving the themes,modules folders into sites/sub.example.com/ but the theme and modules are not being found. The content etc is there but the theme and modules aren't. Thanks in advance for any help. * Ryan LeTulle,* Web Developer personal: bayousoft.com <http://www.bayousoft.com> twitter: @bayousoft <http://twitter.com/bayousoft>

need help patching a module with custom field formatter and tokens
by andy baxter 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

hi, I am writing a patch for the NAT (node auto term) module. (See http://drupal.org/node/1075432 for more information about what I'm trying to do.) The thing I'm having a problem with is using token_replace() inside a hook_field_formatter_view() hook function to generate a link path from a formatter setting string. One of the tokens I've created works fine - it uses the $term object for a taxonomy term, which is returned as part of the existing module code. When I set the setting to 'nat-bad-link/[term:tid]', it is correctly transformed into e.g. 'nat-bad-link/65'. However I can't get my code to work with the other 3 objects I want to expose, which are all passed as function parameters: $field, $entity, and $entity_type. E.g. if I use the token '[field:id]', the token isn't replaced in the final path. I am explicitly casting these to (object) because they are passed in as nested arrays. I've tried printing out $term and (object) $field using dpr(), and the results look identical in structure, so I can't see why it isn't working. The code I have written looks like this (partly from the original nat code, with some additions): /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_view(). */ function nat_field_formatter_view($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $lan gcode, $items, $display) { $element = array(); $settings = $display['settings']; foreach ($items as $delta => $item) { if ($item['tid'] == 'autocreate') { $element[$delta] = array('#markup' => check_plain($item['name'])); } else { $term = $item['taxonomy_term']; $nids = array_keys(nat_get_nids(array($term->tid), FALSE)); if ($nids && $nids[0]) { $element[$delta] = array( '#type' => 'link', '#title' => $term->name, '#href' => "node/" . $nids[0] ); } else { // it's a bad link, so mark it as such and redirect to a handling page. if ($settings['missing_link_handler_path'] != '') { // first substitute the arguments. //dpr($term); //dpr((object)$entity_type); // ******************************* This is the bit that won't work ************************ $href=token_replace($settings['missing_link_handler_path'],array( 'term' => $term, 'field' => (object) $field, 'entity_type' => (object) $entity_type, 'entity' => (object) $entity, ) ); $element[$delta] = array( '#type' => 'link', '#title' => $term->name, '#href' => check_plain($href), // TODO - check whether check_url is needed. '#prefix' => '<span class="nat-missing-link">', '#suffix' => '</span>' ); } else { $element[$delta] = array('#markup' => check_plain($term->name)); } } } } return $element; } Any help appreciated as I was stuck for hours on this last night! :-) thanks, andy baxter
