strange problem any suggestions

Hi, I have several drupal sites and they all work just fine I use views to create a download link under drupal 7 and the link is correct, but my browser goes to a blank page. The link looks fine, and I can't figure this out, writing to support they say it works fine for them. Why would just one site just act up like this. I'm about ready go give up on drupal 7 and go back to drupal 6. I've cleared cach in ie 8 and firefox v5, cleared the cach in drupal under performance and still nothing. Would anyone have any ideas how I can track this down? I'm not seeing nothing in the error logs either.

question about content type and search results under drupal 7
by Jim Ruby 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi, I have created a content type that I do not want to display author and date. So I unchecked the box. And it works, now when I do a search in the search results I see the author and date, how can I have the search results not display this information on the results page? Thanks.

Updating Themes and modules in Drupal 7x
by Roger 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

When I try Drupal 7 to update a theme of module it wants the username and password of my FTP. Why? Lately if I use drush up for modules Drupal 7 breaks and has to be reinstalled. How do I tell it the FTP of my home pc when I am using home pc? What FTP details does it need to update themes and modules on a remote server? Mine or the secure ones for the server of some login detail for Drupal.org I see no reason to use username and passwords when it clearly states that it is a breach of security? Anyway, is the any way to securely use the update process in Drupal 7? I haven't found a tutorial that discusses this in detail and gives precise methods to use the update tool. Can someone help please thanks Roger

theme question
by tony maciejowski 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Dear All, I am using a subtheme of genesis. I want all pages to have padding in the content area EXCEPT the view I constructed. So 1 page from ten should have no padding in the content area. How to do? Tony PS I know it must be very, embarrassingly simple but then how does one learn except to ask the so-called 'stupid questions'. -- *tony maciejowski** | analyst/programmer | websites | tony(a)tony-mac.com<t_maciejowski(a)hotmail.com> * *Twitter: anntosh* | *Cell: 323.899.6206* | *Linked-In:* *Anthony Maciejowski*

New Question with Multisite
by EPA WC 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Thanks all for your help. I was able to get site1.dev and site2.dev going locally with my single drupal installation. But I have a new question. Let's say I want to share my new site1.dev and site2.dev in progress with someone on the Internet, how can this person get access to them with my server's ip address? Is this possible? If not, how can I do it? Again, I don't have actual domain names set up yet. Thanks in advance!

Can Drupal be customised to create a student-group hub (social-network)?
by Alec Taylor 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Good Morning, I'd like to utilise a social-network site for student-groups using only Free and Open-Source tools. Mockup of the student-group homepage (dashboard): http://i.stack.imgur.com/ggEDC.png I am looking at various solutions both Drupal based (Drupal Commons, OpenAtrium &etc) and not (Diaspora, Insoshi, Yogurt Social Network, BuddyPress, Elgg, Mahara, CommunityEngine, Lovd by Less &etc). Is Drupal the best platform for this site, or should I use something else? — If Drupal, please tell me which modules (or distribution of modules, or project) to use. Thanks for all suggestions & information, Alec Taylor

fieldsets are not rendered collapsible if #title is '0' or 0 because of missing fieldset-legend in html source.
by Marco Lechner - in medias res 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi, if a fieldset shall be collapsible and has '#title' => 0 or '#title' => '0' in form_function the resulting html is missing "fieldset-legend" and therefore the fieldset is not copllapsible. The Legend of the fieldset ("0") is not rendered either, of course. If collapsed => TRUE is set in addition this part of the form is not accesible! Can anybody reproduce this? I guess this is a major bug, isn't it? Marco example: |<?php //fieldsets are missing fieldset-legend (and therefore are not collapsible) if title is 0 or '0'. function test_menu() { $items = array(); $items['test'] = array( 'title' => 'test', 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('test_form'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); return $items; } function test_form($form, &$form_state) { $form['nuller'] = array( '0' => array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t(1), '#collapsible' => TRUE, '#collapsed' => FALSE, '#tree' => FALSE, 'symbol' => array( 'symboltitle' => array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Title'), ), ), ), '1' => array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t('0'), '#collapsible' => TRUE, '#collapsed' => FALSE, '#tree' => FALSE, 'symbol' => array( 'symboltitle' => array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Title'), ), ), ), '2' => array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t(0), '#collapsible' => TRUE, '#collapsed' => FALSE, '#tree' => FALSE, 'symbol' => array( 'symboltitle' => array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Title'), ), ), ), ); return $form; }| Resulting Html: |... <form accept-charset="UTF-8" id="test-form" method="post" action="/test"> <div> <fieldset id="edit-0" class="collapsible form-wrapper collapse-processed"> <legend> <span class="fieldset-legend"> <a href="#" class="fieldset-title"><span class="fieldset-legend-prefix element-invisible">Hide</span> 1</a> <span class="summary"></span> </span> </legend> <div class="fieldset-wrapper" style="display: block;"> <div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-title"> <label for="edit-title">Title </label> <input type="text" class="form-text" maxlength="128" size="60" value="" name="title" id="edit-title"> </div> </div> </fieldset> <fieldset id="edit-1" class="collapsible form-wrapper collapse-processed"> <div class="fieldset-wrapper"> <div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-title"> <label for="edit-title--2">Title </label> <input type="text" class="form-text" maxlength="128" size="60" value="" name="title" id="edit-title--2"> </div> </div> </fieldset> <fieldset id="edit-2" class="collapsible form-wrapper collapse-processed"> <div class="fieldset-wrapper"> <div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-title"> <label for="edit-title--3">Title </label> <input type="text" class="form-text" maxlength="128" size="60" value="" name="title" id="edit-title--3"> </div> </div> </fieldset> <input type="hidden" value="form-luu9B2ykfiJAQ32TMd01m35ZpjIfj5zsFHaUzxSFQJw" name="form_build_id"> <input type="hidden" value="s6tyq5bF6xiMhj4VIXxX9DEspCf8tC7cyMJEEQ8Cpo8" name="form_token"> <input type="hidden" value="test_form" name="form_id"> </div> </form> ...|

Theme css
by tony maciejowski 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I suspect that the css in my theme is somehow not configured correctly. Now when I do changes in the CSS I don't see the changes on my site even though I can see the proper and edited css files on the server. When I look in chrome developer tools (or firefox firebug) I see weird css file names .... see attached. Any ideas or similar experience?

How to drag and reorder images in an Image Gallery?
by Farrukh Najmi 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Dear Colleagues, In my website, I have an Image Gallery here: http://drupal.ambreenbutt.com/category/image-galleries/works/dirty-pretty I am trying to determine a way to allow dragging and reordering of images in the gallery. I came upon the Sortable Grid <http://drupal.org/project/sgrid> module that appears to promise to do just that. Problem is I just cannot determine how to make it work. The only doc I can find is on the same page <http://drupal.org/project/sgrid> under "Getting Started". But it does not tell me what to do to make my existing Gallery View sortable. I would be grateful for any pointers on what to do next. Thank you. -- Regards, Farrukh Najmi Web: http://www.wellfleetsoftware.com

many-to-many help needed
by Peter Keane 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Greetings - I am not exactly sure how to approach a particular data modeling task in Drupal. Although I am newcomer to Drupal, I have experience w/ relational database modeling (part of my ramp-up w/ Drupal is figuring how to map Entity-Relational concepts to Drupal). I'm faced w/ this in a few places on my current project, but I will describe just one example (simplified for illustrative purposes): I have a "book" content type and I have a "fictional character" content type. I need to record the page number on which a particular character first appears in a book. Note that a character can appear in many books and that a book (typically) has many characters. I can acheive this with an "appearances" content type which had node reference fields for both "book" and "fictional character" and a field for page number. What I am unclear on is how best to present this to a user who is entering data. In my particular case, the "book" content type will be pre-populated. I'd like to have a form for creating a new character which includes a pull-down list of books. When a book is selected, another widget appears in which a page number appears. This "pair" of book & page needs to be repeatable, since a character may appear in many books. The trick here is to have a form for creating one content type "fictional character" that upon submission, created not only the "fictional character" instance, but the necessary "appearance" instances as well. Any ideas (even if only a pointer to a module that might get me started, similar examples, or documentation) would be greatly appreciated. If writing a custom module is necessary, that is something I can probably tackle (any tips re: apis & such in that case would be welcome). --Peter Keane Liberal Arts ITS The Univ. of Texas at Austin
