Adding Local Action Link
by Steve Edwards 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I am building some functionality based on node_clone module that will allow me to clone certain node types and then implement hook_node_clone_alter() to modify some of the node content. I would like to add a couple more links at the top of the page similar to the one node_clone already adds. I've created my hook_menu implementations, cleared the cache, and rebuilt the menus, but the links are not getting added to the $action_links menu. Here's my code: /** * Implementation of hook_menu(). */ function monographs_menu() { $items['node/%node/clone/comment'] = array( 'access callback' => 'clone_access_cloning', 'access arguments' => array(1), 'page callback' => 'monographs_node_check', 'page arguments' => array(1, 3), 'title' => 'Create For Comment version', 'weight' => 5, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_ACTION, 'context' => MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE, ); $items['node/%node/clone/production'] = array( 'access callback' => 'clone_access_cloning', 'access arguments' => array(1), 'page callback' => 'monographs_node_check', 'page arguments' => array(1, 3), 'title' => 'Create production version', 'weight' => 5, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_ACTION, 'context' => MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE, ); return $items; } From what I've read and seen in other implementations, this is all I should need. The menu item is created in the menu_router table (I can access it manually from the URL in a browser), and I've verified that the access callback is returning TRUE. It's also getting to my custom callback (when the URL accessed manually), so I know that part is okay. For some reason the links aren't being added to the $action_links variable in page.tpl.php. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks. Steve

question about taxonomy and views
by Jim Ruby 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Is there a way to display the total number of published nodes in a vocabulary?? I can do it by term by clicking on header it has some @vars one can use, but I do not see a way to get a total count unless I make another view to just sort by the vocabulary only and not terms. I just hope I'm not creating to many hits to the db slowing things down. Thanks for any info.

Block placement in Omega theme
by Anthony 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Dear All, I created a content type. Then I added a block and placed it in the same area with the content of the content type - the content region. I would like to position the block BELOW the other content. But I see no option to do this. Does anyone understand what I am talking about?

Help with database table and taxonomy design
by Roger 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

<snip> I'm a bit stuck on how to design an event system for our needs. The current offerings are overly complex for our needs and do not take kindly to some of the variations we need. I would like to discuss with a Drupal 7 expert who can advice on taxonomy design and implementation. Thank you in advance Roger There are several on line event web applications. Why do you want to create one yourselves? Now I once created a system that allowed an administrator to manage contracted cooking instructors. These instruction sessions were events. Events with a venue, a schedule, various players who had to be contacted, supply ordering and fulfillment that needed to be done, verifying that the contract was actually being fulfilled, and paying the contracted instructors through an invoice system. All this was accomplished without using a Content Management System. What are you trying to do? Sometimes defining the problem is nine tenths of the solution. - George </snip> Thanks George The key issue for us in using one of the event systems already available is that most of what they provide is overly complex, much is of no use or just clutter. I have explored 3 or 4 to date. This Drupal 7 system is at this time for Australia only. Our events needs are fairly simple, I'm well into the process on our test site. We have about 20 slightly differing event Content Types, these include general meetings, member's meetings, Book Readings, Classes, Services, Itemised Discussions, each for public, for members only, for teams only and for specialised teams. We have other specialised meeting types for public and members which do not fit into the above categories. Then there are team member meetings anywhere across Australia called without notice. My observations: All events have a venue, a location, a state, a convener, a title, a date. The date for some event types repeats weekly or monthly for 3, 6,or 12 months, infrequently 18 months. Other events have a single date or repeat for 2 days. Some events have the same convener for the full repetitive cycle, other events may have up to 3 conveners at each meeting and these may be different for each monthly meeting. Other may have 2 conveners who swap each month. Some events have literature requirements where a book or document is a reading prerequisite. I have the data entry form Title field set to automatically predefine prescribed titles which makes views far easier to work on (Thanks to Nancy). I have taxonomy vocabularies for: Book references Venues Location State Event types Event titles Authors Contacts And several more. There are 8 States, 70 Locations and 100 venues and over 2000 events per year across Australia. Venue Terms are the local names of venues like "433 On Logan" or Melbourne Exhibition Centre" Location Terms are say Canberra, Newcastle, Tongala, Bentleigh, Moe. State Terms are QLD, VIC, SA, TAS - Australian states. My question was to be more along the lines of, say with State, Venue, Location. A state can have more than one location A location can have more than 1 venue. A Venue has a Location and State. I am currently providing Venue, Location, State Term References for each event content type. This is doubling up information as each table over the course of time will contain very similar information. I have tried putting a Location and State field in each Venue term but find that these do not display and do not know how to get them to do so after an event data entry is displayed. I have tried adding Location and Venue to the State Terms I do not know which is the most appropriate way to provide the 3 lots of data from one Term Reference field in each event Content Type. I'm thinking of just providing the Venue then the location and State are automatically linked. This way the coordinator has only to select the venue from the Term Reference field. Only the Venue has a link to address information and a map. I have tried a number of ways but am more confused now. I greatly appreciate any help I can get Thanks in advance Roger

Rotating Selected Images
by Steve Edwards 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

I have a content type that contains an imagefield used for displaying photos, and I'm having a problem getting them to display with the proper orientation. Some of the photos were taking with the normal camera orientation (landscape), but some were taken vertically (i.e. the camera turned 90 degrees clockwise). When I display the vertical images in a photo app (like Preview or iPhoto on my Mac) they display just fine, but when they are displayed in Drupal, they are all displayed horizontally, which means the vertical ones are on their side. There is an image style that will rotate them, but not all of the photos require this, so the all-or-nothing approach doesn't work. Other than writing code to rotate the vertical images counter-clockwise (not sure how that would be detected), how can I get them to display as they were originally taken? Why are they displayed that way in the first place, when all the other apps display them properly? Thanks. Steve

Drupal 7 and Organic Groups
by Luc Geers 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi! I am completely stuck after upgrading my website from Drupal 6to Drupal 7 with Organic Groups. I have two questions: 1. The group manager can't add new members - new members are not included in the list of members 2. On each screen is a calendar of events - that was not really intended... :) Greetings, Me.
