Confirmation page
by Anthony 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

We (http://drupalistasgroup.com) an online study group are trying to learn the form api. We have been able to construct a form and enter data, send an email with the form contents, and create and fill a dab table with the form data. Now we are looking for a way of constructing a confirmation page, which will basically confirm the form data entry and display a message to the form filler outer/user. We can't do it with set_message I don't think. What is the Drupal way to do this? Thanks -- *Anthony Stefan Maciejowski*

File upload and convert
by Chris Miller 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi Folks, I have a content type with TWO file fields, in which I will designate TWO PDFs. On upload completion I want to run something like: "exec(pdftk f1.pdf background f2.pdf output f1.pdf)". This will "brand" f1.pdf. I don't see any standard mechanism and so I'm not sure how to go about this. I have a general understanding, but that doesn't answer the question. I am sure I don't want to intercept all possible uploads; just the uploads from this specific content type. So, can I define a file upload hook which is scoped to this specific content type? I haven't seen anything that makes me believe I can. Can I create a custom file field to use any time I need to perform a conversion? Can my custom file field "extend" the existing file field, so I don't have to port improvements/bugfixes to my custom file field version? So many questions... (-: Thanks for the help, Chris.

Problems with core update
by Pat Ferrel 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Sorry if this is a repeat, not sure if my list membership was set up correctly. I'm doing a standard core update but update.php does not complete properly. It shows me the updates to perform but the submit spins for a short while (doesn't look like a timeout) then stays on the page. There are no errors reported on the update page. Also the log page contains no errors and I can't find anything in the MySQL or Nginx logs. One hint that might help me is, what script is executed and what is the url displayed *after* the "update" button is clicked? I'm guessing that the script is never executed from the update submit? I have done this before and it worked but since the last update I switched to Nginx. Also I performed this specific update on a test box first, using Apache, which worked fine. I then updated the core code on the production box and encountered the above problem. The update.php "location" is listed below from the Nginx config. The production box is Nginx+Ubuntu. # -*- mode: nginx; mode:autopair; mode: flyspell-prog; ispell-local-dictionary: "american" -*- ### Configuration file for Drupal if you're not using drush to update your site or run cron. ## Restrict cron access to a specific host. location = /cron.php { # ## If not allowed to run cron then issue a 404 and redirect to the # ## site root. # if ($not_allowed_cron) { # return 404 /; # } fastcgi_pass phpcgi; # ## To use Apache for serving PHP uncomment the line bellow and # ## comment out the above. # #proxy_pass http://phpapache; } location = /update.php { #auth_basic "Restricted Access"; # auth realm #auth_basic_user_file .htpasswd-users; # htpasswd file fastcgi_pass phpcgi; ## To use Apache for serving PHP uncomment the line bellow and ## comment out the above. #proxy_pass http://phpapache; }

Strategy for converting a site to drupal
by Tim Johnson 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Let's say I have an existing website and want to convert that site to drupal. What I have done in the past is something like this : Where my original site is www.mydomain.com, create www.mydomain.com/new, require authorization and go to work. when done, move files form www.mydomain.com/new to www.mydomain.com, presumably overwritting the original directory. What would be the 'drupalist' way to do that? URLs to topics on this subject would be perfectly fine. thanks -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com

Multilingual fields in D7
by Henry Hu 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi folks, I encountered a weird issue. Create a node programmatically: $gloss = new stdClass(); $gloss->type = 'term'; node_object_prepare($gloss); $gloss->title = "default title"; $gloss->language = "en"; $gloss->field_description['und'][0]['value'] = "Some description"; node_save($gloss); So far, everything is ok. The node is created correctly. Then I intend to get field_description specified a language, like English. So change the line to : $gloss->field_description['en'][0]['value'] = "Some description"; This time, the node is created without saving the value of field_description. Why it fails when specifying a language for a field? The issue appears on my production site, and on a test site no problem. So I guess I miss some multilingual configuration. I enabled i18n module. Thanks for any suggestion. Regards, Henry

D7 - EntityFieldQuery: Load all revisions
by Georg Jaehnig 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Hi, I have a self-defined entity with revisions called command. The instance with id=1 has 3 revisions. Now I want to load all these revisions. Tried this: $query = new EntityFieldQuery(); $query ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'command') ->propertyCondition('id', 1) ->age(FIELD_LOAD_REVISION); $result = $query->execute(); but it gives me still only one revision, the current one. There's no difference to calling it without ->age(FIELD_LOAD_REVISION). What am I doing wrong? -- Georg | http://serchilo.net - command the web
