Hi I am a newbie in drupal module developement, I have my website http://seydinet.com made with Managing News and now I just want create a module who if I run my cron post automaticly a tweet with a message telling for exemple "4news item added in seydinet.com" So I create a module directory name seydi, I add both file seydi.info and seydi.module.

SQL Query - "LIKE" usage
by Austin Einter 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hi All I am using Drupal 6.20. I have constructured below query. str = *SELECT name, id, lft, rgt FROM resubmt_skill_ids AS node WHERE ( node.name LIKE "%sip%") ORDER BY node.lft* Then I call db_query() API. It did not return the expected records. On debugging, looks the query went as *SELECT name, id, lft, rgt FROM resubmt_skill_ids AS node WHERE ( node.nameLIKE "ip%") ORDER BY node.lft * Probably db_query API , considered %s as a string placeholder and removed from query string. Then I changed the query to *SELECT name, id, lft, rgt FROM resubmt_skill_ids AS node WHERE ( node.nameLIKE " %%sip%") ORDER BY node.lft* Above query returns expected records. My question is , when a token starts with "s", we will be facing above issue. What is the best way to resolve it. Can I follow the mechanism, where tokens starting with "s", will be changed to "%s" , so that in query the token will look like "%%s". Or do yo see any issues with this approach. Regards Austin

Rediect from IP address
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 19 May '11

19 May '11

Yesterday I discovered that one of the sites I support didn't have the "www" redirect turned on in .htaccess, so of course the search engines saw it as two different sites. I fixed that. But today, the site owner noticed a Google Alert that had the IP address in it. Does this also cause search engines to see it as a different site? If so, can I add another Rewrite rule for the IP address (we own the IP)? Nancy

HTML in system emails?
by Andre Durudas 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, I am confused about how to send formatted system emails via Actions/Trigger or Rules in Drupal. I just would like to do some basic formatting like <p> or <br>, <strong> and <em>. But when I type those in, they show up in the text without the formatting. And when I just use 'returns' to create some line breaks, only some of them actually show up in the emails. For example, I have the following message set up to be send via Actions (The line breaks are shown exactly as in the message field): [current-user:name] has created [node:content-type]. [node:title] [node:body] When sent, the empty lines between [current-user:name] and [node:title] show up, but the ones between [node:title] and [node:body] do not, the text of the body comes right after the title. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

Themes Newspaper or Magazine like sites
by Jorge Biquez 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello all. I was wondering. What are the themes you condsider the best option for having a solution like a "newspaper", "internal magazine". Lot of content and comments published often , too many of them that would be almost impossible too have them under an index menu? I am still with the project for learning Drupal 7 where the idea is to have a solution for a small school community. Where teachers can post in section only for teacher and alumni can post and read only under alumni sections (I have not solved that yet). I thought to ask about these since the theme I have been uin , "Marinelli", seems like it is not exactly what I need. I know that I have to learn more about the modules need it and I am studying them (reading what they do). I will create another test area and will install new clean installation of D7, new themes and will test modules. I would like to have the enough knowledge for having the user interface correctly working and then study in detail the code and modules to use , or modify. I know this can take some months but I want to learn and I want to continue with the plans of solving step by step. Thank in advance for your help and comments. Have a nice day. Jorge Biquez
