Mass account creation
by Waprothero＠gmail.com 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

I'd like to create accounts for some folks whose email and names i I know. After I enter the names and emails, it should send an email to each person asking them to sign on and set a password, or some kind of notification. Is there a module that does this for d6? Thanks, Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org

Nevermind, I figured it out -- I wasn't thinking in the "Drupal Way" -- the solution I came up with is to use the form submit handler to collect the values submitted and send them to another custom module to do the actual db search and display.

Re: [support] Drush changes permissions and overwrites, htaccess

In filezilla for example it is called owner, group and Public permissions, but this all boils down to the same point: You should not have to make a file world/public/other - accessible if you want to keep your pants on ;-) So right now maybe the file has the following denominations: drwxrwxr-x daniel daniel yourfolder which means that the group and owner bits are daniel if I want to change it to make it accessible not the world/other/public then I have to set it chmod 750 Now apache cannot access it, so I have two options: 1. I chown the folder (and subcontent - use with greatest care): chown -R daniel.www-data yourfolder This would be the option that you choose if you have a shell access or someway to change the group of your files. 2. I just add apache to the group daniel (not recommended) (and yes, technically speaking it is user (u) group (g) and other (o) as in the bash-script that I use to correct my drupal permissions if I messed something up see http://mentalitea.com/drupalpermissions.)

looking for an existing drupal theme
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 17 Dec '12

Hi all, I'm moving my humble little blog to Drupal. It mostly has code snipets (SHELL commmands & scripts, awk invokations, several small pieces of PHP, Javascript, OCaml, Lisp code) No real tree organisation, it's all flat, organised by tags/categories My wish is to make - no fixed width - color palette for easy reading that kind of content I described (no flashy colors) - syntax highlighting for the code snipets (I think I'll make it browser side, Javascript then, might be not included in the theme module) Would you know an existing theme on http://drupal.org that would suit my needs? Thank you -- RMA.

This is not a problem of your permissions but of the owner of the files then, in linux the three parts for the permission system are for Owner - Group - World in a standard server setup the apache or whatever server serves your pages should be in the group, this can be www-data or www-server or similar. you can check which group by typing in $|ps aux | grep apache | ||

Multisite Paths
by Kenneth Jacker 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

[ Ubuntu-12.04.1; Drupal-7.17 ] *ONE* I have a directory of images at, /var/www/sites/example.com/images and a "Basic Page" node with this HTML within it: <a href="sites/example.com/images/jim.jpg">Jim</a> Going to the page and clicking on the "Jim" link, does display the image correctly. However, the URL in my browser shows this: http://example.com/sites/example.com/images/jim.jpg Shouldn't that be: http://example.com/images/jim.jpg ? Why the extra, initial "example.com/sites"? *TWO* If I use this anchor instead, <a href="images/jim.jpg">Jim</a> the browser bar displays http://example.com/images/jim.jpg But the page produces this error message instead of the JPEG: The requested URL "/images/jim.jpg" was not found on this server. Any help that you might provide is appreciated! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker khj(a)cs.appstate.edu Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA

Todd> You need to do 'drush pm-disable foobar' and then 'drush pm-uninstall'. That's just what I did ... Todd> There isn't a Drush command for removing a directory, Todd> though. You need to do the standard 'rm' unix command for that. OK, that's kind of what I thought ... Thanks for your help, -Kenneth
