Multiple Upload Path With Content And Permission Restrictions
by Lev Lafayette 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hello Drupalites, I understand that there are a number of modules that allow for different upload paths. Can these be tied to content types? e.g., /files [path for default content types, page, story etc] /files/special [path for special content type] Further would it be at all possible, given the special content type to add restrictions specific to upload and view according to roles. e.g., Special Content Upload File Viewer, Special Content Upload Adder Which module can do you recommend for this functionality? Thanks in advance, -- Lev Lafayette, Systems Administrator, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing, lev(a)vpac.org "If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context.

new modules don't install properly
by Marty Landman 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I recently had the experience of installing the webform module on a D6.19 site. It showed up on admin/build/modules as enabled and was installed on sites/all/modules, but the config menu never showed up even after clearing the cache and couldn't be reached by typing in the url either. Now the same thing has happened with the user_import module ie. it enables but the modules menu doesn't become available. The site status report seems fine with no major errors showing up, and the the access log doesn't show any errors. So it's looking like new modules don't work on this site and I'm at a loss as to what the problem might be. Any ideas? Marty

Good way to create CCK-based tabs for node view
by Andy Fowlston 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm working on an estate agent-esque website in D6. Each property page has a number of tabs (Overview, Design features, Floor plans, etc.). Most of the fields only show up under one tab, but there are some repetitions (eg. 'sale price' is shown on Pricing and Who can apply). I'm not sure how to implement the tabs, and would love to hear any feedback on the following ideas (or a better idea entirely is also good:). I'd like to end up with a solution that allows non-coders to be able to do simple field changes (eg. now this field is shown under the Design tab). I've not used the modules below, so any warnings/recommendations would also be well received :) 1. Use CCK Fieldgroup Tabs[1], add some AJAX handling, and do something nasty for the occasional field that comes under two tabs (any ideas here? All I can think of is using computed_field to create a duplicate, which is icky). 2. Use display suite[2] to create a custom build mode for each tab. This seems to be a nice way to add/remove fields from the tabs: can anyone see an issue with this? Would there be performance implications that you know of? 3. Create a simple module that just presents you with a matrix of fields and tabs, lets you select which should be shown where, and ensures it all displays ok. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Andy [1] http://drupal.org/project/cck_fieldgroup_tabs [2] http://drupal.org/project/ds . . . . . . .

superfish / parent menu item with no link?
by adept techlists - kazar 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi everyone -- I am crash-coursing on Drupal 7 using the Danland theme, which incorporates Superfish. One of my Main Menu items (a.k.a Primary LInks in Drupal6-ese) is "About". Submenus under About are "Our Mission", "Our Team" etc. I have the submenus working fine, but I'm having a problem in that in the Menus setup I can't make an About menu item on the top level that links to NO page because the Path is a required field. I only want the submenus to have links. I have tried making About point to the same node as Our Mission. But then the problem is that in Firefox 4 a hover over the top-level menus does not drop the sub-menus. A click on the top-level menu is required. This has the effect of putting the user on the Our Mission page instead (after the submenu items briefly show & then disappear again). Then they have to click on About again to drop the submenus but after some sort of js (or something) processing the submenus close up after a split second. So. Is there either any way to make Superfish submenus work in FF4 (by "work" I mean drop upon hover) OR is there a way to have a parent item (i.e., in the top-level Main Menu) with no path entered? thanks, kazar

How can I restrict certain strings in login names during registration (6.x)?
by Jarry 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

Hi, I'm looking for a possibility to restrict login names during registration, i.e. I want to forbid using strings "abc" or "ABC" on whatever position in the login names they pick. How could I do that? But I do not want to block those strings in login-name generally, just only during registration...

Kind of OFF Topic but even related.
by Jorge Biquez 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

Hello all. First to all thanks for the members participant in the list. I learn something every day. My apologize in advance if this email is kind of off topic. I do not want to cause troubles in the list so maybe for those of you who would be so kind to answer me it could be better to do it off line, directly to my email address. I continue learning Drupal V7. I could not solve the thing of having several ones in my VPS server with CPanel but that is fine for now. Before moving with other provider I would like to hear, if possible, your comments on the following comments/questions. I guess that a personal project I have had from years can be done finally with the help of Drupal and the combination of some other development tools. The framewok is great and my idea is to use as all the external structure, security, basic forums, articles, polls, etc and then include some other things I would like to have. Here is where the comments arrive, I am sorry if those sound crazy. 1) My project includes people that does not have access to the internet always. And while they do not have access they even would have to be able to create include information. Yes, I know I can install D7 in a local machine and copy the information exporting and importing. But I would like to have an application , desktop one, that let them capture the information, according to their age, role, etc. I would like to have it as a desktop one. Why? several reasons (security, encryption, etc) and besides as a training for me to be able to solve and be able to get a job or a better one if I can do those things. Anyway, desktop application running on the machine. IN teh last weeks I have been evaluating and deciding what path (tools) to use for that. I am a good programmer with some years of experience so the learning curve implied could be accepted without problems. I have been playing with the trial version of http://www.runrev.com/ Very Very impressive and I guess it can do it without problems. ONly things is that it is kind of expensive to have all the tools need it for now. Mainly advantage is that you can create multi platform developments I was also considering returning to the Microsoft tools (Visual Studio 2010). It is expensive also but it is very commercial (thinking in jobs). My other alternative I am considering is Python. Open source, multi platform also, cheap. I know some of you work developing systems also. What would be your advice.? What tools are you using now ? Remember the idea is that the desktop application run and can independently and can connect and send information and retrieve information from the database of Drupal. ON the other side. I need to develop the web part. I know Drupal is done with PHP and it will be easier to do what I need in PHP also. If you are using PHP. Can you share what are you using as your tools? I am planning to use Eclipse but since I do not know much yet I do not know what API framework to use, some say Zend would the best for a framework for PHP. If you are in list like this for PHP, can you share them also. I am planning to devote time also to Python and I guess at the end do all mainly in Python. Any comments or advice? My project is personal, it is for poor communities in the mountains that have no access to internet and not resources. It is a complex project that I expect to be doing it in the next 2 years. Of course I am interested in learning what I need since I need to get a job and if I can do both things it would be excellent. Thanks in advance for all your help. Jorge Biquez www.biquez.com
