Re: [support] I have a new version of drupal 6.22 on another box which is ready for installation. Can I just point this new version of drupal to this newly restored postgres database and if so how would I do this?

John, You can go through the /sites/default/settings.php file, look for the db_url variable. There should be comments above that line explaining the syntax, it's straightforward. Alternatively if I'm understanding you correctly you've got a new Drupal installation which you'd like to point to a copy of a populated database. You could just go through the initialization screens. Hope this helps and that I'm not misinterpreting something here.

Changing Views Title
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

I found http://drupal.org/node/1176080 which explains how to alter the title of a View, but it doesn't seem to work (especially in Views 7.x-3.x-dev). I have my title specified as "Studies: %1" which works fine except when there is no argument. If the argument is not present, I display all values and want the title to say "Studies: All". Can anyone help me fix this, please? In hook_views_pre_render(), I have tried both of these options: $view->build_info['substitutions'] = array('%1' => t('All')); $view->build_info['title'] = str_replace('%1', t('All'), $view->build_info['title']); Neither worked; I still get "%1" displayed.

Drupal 7 Entities: Display a list of type group
by Buratino 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

I have read the tutorial, and the API, looked through the code examples. But when it came down to implementation it didn't work as i thought it would. Please help. I am trying to avoid using the Views module for now, just for learning purposes. function mymodule_menu() { $items['groups'] = array( 'title' => t('Groups list'), 'page callback' => 'mymodule_groups_overview', 'access callback' => TRUE ); return $items; } function mymodule_groups_overview() { $build = array(); $query = db_select('og', 'og')->extend('PagerDefault'); $query->fields('og', array('gid')); $result = $query ->limit(10) ->orderBy('og.gid') ->execute(); if( $result ) { $gids = $result->fetchCol(); $entities = og_load_multiple($gids); $build = entity_view('group', $entities, 'teaser'); } return $build; } The problem is that entity_view(..) returns nothing, and og_load_multiple(..) returns array of entities but there is no content and no fields. If this worked, i would probably override the controller, with clans_pages_entity_info_alter(..), and added a new view mode 'list'. Can someone please share a working code for displaying a list of entities with a pager? Thanks. P.S. I took the groups for example but i dont mind any other type of entities. -- Современная мобильная почта - для смартфонов и телефонов. Оцените мобильный m.mail.ru с Вашего телефона

Error Retrieving Form From Cache
by Steve Edwards 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

I have been struggling for a few days with an issue with core form caching that is seen in filefield_sources (D6). When I attempt to add an image using the Reference Existing option, I get the error "An unrecoverable error occurred. This form was missing from the server cache. Try reloading the page and submitting again." Other people have had the same error (see http://drupal.org/node/500646 and http://drupal.org/node/795004 for examples.). The main thing I'm not understanding is why the data is not being returned from the cache table. First, here is the code from filefield module (the filefield_js() function) that throws the error: // Build the new form. $form_state = array('submitted' => FALSE); $form_build_id = $_POST['form_build_id']; $form = form_get_cache($form_build_id, $form_state); if (!$form) { // Invalid form_build_id. drupal_set_message(t('An unrecoverable error occurred. This form was missing from the server cache. Try reloading the page and submitting again.'), 'error'); print drupal_to_js(array('data' => theme('status_messages'))); exit; } As quicksketch points out in one of the issues, when the form is initially displayed, it should be cached in cache_form, and this error indicates that the form was not cached, and therefore is not retrieved from cache_form (he also points out this is not a filefield issue, but rather a core caching issue). However, in watching the db, I can see that the form is saved in the cache (and I verified it using the form id displayed in the HTML against the cid value in cache_form), so it is there for to be retrieved by form_get_cache(). The only other option I can see is that $_POST['form_build_id'] is not available for some reason. What makes this more difficult is that I can't duplicate this on my local machine or our dev server. This only happens on the production server at the hosting company. Varnish is being used, but since this functionality is only used for logged in users, that should be an issue as far as I can tell. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks. Steve

jQuery in form not active after ajax
by Marco Lechner - in medias res 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi, I added a slider to form-element using field-suffix including jQuery. <code> ... 'outlinewdidth' => array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Outline width'), '#field_suffix' => " <div style='width: 256px;' id='edit-outlinewidth_slider'></div> <script type='text/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth_slider').slider({range:'min',value: jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth').val(),min:0,max:5,step:0.01,slide:function(event, ui ){jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth').val(ui.value);}});});</script>" ... </code> The part of the form is changed by an ajax-event. The slider is not available after this. The jQuery script is returned by the callback function but doesn't seem to be executed after the form part is changed by ajax. I thought it's because of the jQuery(document).ready(function(){} but even putting my jQuery it into the <div> using <div style='width: 256px;' id='edit-outlinewidth_slider' onload=\"jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth_slider').slider({range:'min',value: jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth').val(),min:0,max:5,step:0.01,slide:function(event, ui ){jQuery('#edit-outlinewidth').val(ui.value);}});\"></div> doesn't work. How to manage this task? Marco

Drupal 7 Update manager
by Roger 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

>From http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/update <quote> This will direct you to the update page where you see a listing of all the missing updates and confirm which ones you want to upgrade. From there, you are prompted for your FTP/SSH password, which then transfers the files into your Drupal installation, overwriting your old files. </quote> How does this apply to a local machine where there is no ftp and ssh? What should I enter into the fields for local machine update? Does it in fact require the username and password of the drupal installation and not root? I tried Update Manager on our remote server tried both the ssh and ftp user and password, it failed. How can I find why the username and password failed and what can I do to get update manager working? And what user and passwords should be entered? It is puzzling why an update system would require username and password sent insecurely. Can someone please explain what to do and how. Most grateful for any assistance Roger

Hello All, For one of our Drupal based existing website, we were trying to hide the blocks if it is visited from mobile browser.

drupal7-bible or the-definitive-guide-to-drupal-7
by Dick Hoogendijk 22 Aug '11

drupal7-bible or the-definitive-guide-to-drupal-7 ? Searching the internet these two books seem to be suitable for me. I'm beginning to learn Drupal7 but am no novice with CMS software. I used TYPO3 for years. I'm not looking for a technical bible but the book has to go in-deep into all aspects of Drupal7 (no older versions). Any recommendations?
