Portfolio page suggestions in Drupal 7
by Cesar Covarrubias 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hello, I am working on a site for a client (construction) and they would like to setup a portfolio page to display some of their work. The goal is to list all the jobs he's worked on and somehow show pictures for some of the jobs. Ideally I would want the following format: Title Description Image floating left or right of the Description The obvious choice is some sort of image gallery, but as I am still fairly new to Drupal, I want to know if there are some better choices. If an image gallery is best, what image module would be best that I can embed a particular gallery? Thanks for your assistance ahead of time. -- Very Respectfully, Cesar Covarrubias

importing database into qa environment collides with production
by Tim Dunphy 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello Drupal, We have a few drupal based sites here in the office and I ran into a problem recently when I was asked to setup one of the production sites in a qa environment. Basically the steps I took were to copy the files from apache document root of the production site to the right location on the qa web serer, run the install as usual and then import the production database to the qa instance afterward. So far so good. After tweaking the files a bit, the production site comes up in qa and I am able to log into the qa instance using drupal accounts from production. However there was an unexpected result. When I started clicking on the links from the QA installation it would point me to pages from production. That part of it was not entirely unexpected I guess but the problem was that after I started clicking on the links that pointed to production, CSS on the production site broke. When I say that it 'broke' what I mean is the CSS formatting was lost on all of the pages. I was able to fix the problem in production by clearing the cache from the drupal interface on the production side. Just to be safe, I dropped the database on the qa instance to make sure that it wouldn't cause any more issues in production. So from that it seems that importing the database provided some resources to the qa instance that were being shared with production. I was hoping to get an opinion on what those resources might be so that I can perhaps clear the table(s) before making another attempt to import the production database into qa. I think what may work is to delete the contents of certain tables with a DELETE * FROM table. Based on some readings I've done into the issue I would think that cache, session and watchdog may be part of the problem. But before I proceeded I would like to get your opinion on whether this might help and perhaps suggest some other tables that could be causing the problem. Thanks!! Tim

Triggering Form Submit
by Warren Vail 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I used to be able to add the following to a select list to trigger form submission when the selected value was changed. <select ... onChange="this.form.submit(); " This would be executed as javascript and would trigger submission method of the form object that contained the select widget. How can I do the same using the Drupal form definition? I tried "#ahah" but can't seem to get it to work. Any clues? I want to cause the form validation and optionally the post modules to be executed when the selection has change. Warren Vail

integration with external mailing lists?
by sebastian 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hello, Does anyone know which external mailing lists integrate well [low effort] with Drupal? I'm looking for a mailing list system that my client(s) can use that provides nice tracking like: URL specific click-statistics for each news letter, reads per issue, unsubscribes per mailing... you know, all that good stuff that websites like: constant contact and list-rocket provide. I'm guessing that someone has already made a good connector to the user-profiles to one or more of these. Obviously one would want a check-box in Drupal's account admin pages to opt in/out of the mailing list(s). Thank you for your ideas and support! Best, Sebastian.

Matching a term if it belongs to another term (views)
by Luke 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Another views question: It would be convenient, if I could have a view match on a term argument, if the referenced TID was a child of another term. So if TIDs 80 through 200 were children of TID 3, rather than coding for the range (which might get out of range TIDs added to it later), is there some way I could have the view check whether the passed argument of TID 120, is in fact a child term of TID 3? Hopefully that's not stupidly basic. Luke
