How to create input from a view
by Roger 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi all I have a small seminar registration system which produces a view of what payments were made on which date. Tables are: Name, Contact details, Registration and payment, Donations. I have a view which outputs payments received for date, event and donation. If the banking person takes the payments for the week to the bank he needs a view of what payments were received between the previous bank date and the current date so that he can balance the books. I reckon I can do this ok but I also need a way to check off/delineate which payments he has banked so that he can view those not banked. If the payments are displayed in a view, how can he input a check mark against payments already made into the bank? I'm thinking that a table with name, nid, date and amount may suffice but have no idea how to display an input table with an associated view for each selected payment detail on the same page. Don't know if I've explained it well enough! Thanks for any help Roger

Viewfield on teaser pages
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

In some ways I almost feel like I'm learning Drupal all over again... I created a content type that includes a Viewfield. I hijacked the Body field to be a "text before" field and then added a "text after" field as well. When I produce a a taxonomy/term/% page, the node with the Viewfield is empty (as is the "text before"). How can I get the View to display in this teaser form?

Mail Chimp

Dear All, Don't know if this is the right list for this question but has anyone used the Mail Chimp module? What are the advantages of having it integrated with Drupal as opposed to running it 'externally'? Thanks Tony

Node in menu more than one, strange branch redirect
by Przemysław Staniszewski 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Welcome My problem is that if a node appears in the menu tree more than once, after the user choose node he is redirected to the first branch, in which the node appears. I want the user to remain in the branch, which pointed to the node. Did I need more then one main menu to accomplish that? Best Regards -- Przemysław Staniszewski mail: przemyslaw.staniszewski(a)sipp.pl

View at taxonomy/term/% to display descendant taxonomy terms as well as nodes tagged
by Anthony Malkoun 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi, My requirement is that given a hierarchy like: Furniture Chairs Desk Chairs Dining Chairs Tables etc. If I go to taxonomy/term/74 (where 74 is term ID for Chairs) then I want to see a list of nodes tagged with Chairs and show links to "Desk Chairs" and "Dining Chairs", preferably with their taxonomy image and their description. The first bit of this is easily solved in views using either the default taxonomy replacement view or by creating a clone of it, but not sure of the most "Drupalish" way to do the second. I thought I might be able to do it with an attachment in the view and grouping on term but I don't think this will work for me. Other ideas are either change the template manually, so at least the nodes are handled by views (what I'm leaning towards atm) or to have another totally different view that is a term view, rather than a node view, as a block and setting the block up to get the arguments from the URL. Does anyone have a better idea or is this the way to go? Ta, Malks.

"File downloads" section missing fieldname hyperlink what table(s) need to be populated so that this column is populated?
by John Mitchell 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

One of our Drupal servers lost connection to where our ubercart files are located File download settings<https://mapsindeed.com/admin/store/settings/products/edit/features#> Files path: The absolute path (or relative to Drupal root) where files used for file downloads are located. For security reasons, it is recommended to choose a path outside the web root. and after this connection was re-established then within all of our users "File downloads" section (https://domanname/user/21/purchased-files) it lost all of their listing of purchased files. We then restored from backup both the uc_file_users and uc_file_products tables that were empty. Now the "File downloads" section (see below) had all the purchased files but the filename column was empty which has the hyperlink so that the user can download the file. What other table(s) need to be restored from backup so that the Filename hyperlink will be populated within the "File downloads" section? Thanks, John File downloads Purchased[image: sort icon]<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Purchased&pag…> Filename<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Filename&page…> Description<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Description&p…> Downloads<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Downloads&pag…> Addresses Purchased[image: sort icon]<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Purchased&pag…> Filename<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Filename&page…> Description<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Description&p…> Downloads<https://mapsindeed.com/user/21/purchased-files?sort=asc&order=Downloads&pag…> Addresses 02/18/2011 1/Unlimited1/Unlimited 02/18/2011 1/Unlimited1/Unlimited 02/18/2011 0/Unlimited1/Unlimited 02/17/2011 0/Unlimited1/Unlimited

Really need help with Aegir
by Roger 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi all I have a hd with ubuntu 11.04 server installed. I followed the instructions to install Aegir on the server but it gives errors at the end of the install. Google tells of others experiencing the same errors but gives no resolution. I installed firefox on the server but think it won't work unless there is a windows manager of some sort. What is the smallest windows manager required to run firefox on a server and what else should be installed. Can someone please point me to an Aegir tutorial or script that actually does install properly I would like to be able to access the ubuntu server hard drive from my ubuntu 11 desktop hard drive but have no idea how to do so. How can I work on the server hard drive from my desktop without having to boot into the server hd Help would be much appreciated, thank you Roger
