retrieving latest page XHTML during update process
by Joe Corneli 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hello: We're trying to grab the page XHTML each time the user presses save. Unfortunately, when we run cURL within hook_entity_update, we are getting old values. Sample code is below. Can someone suggest how to get the latest page source, not some cached value, just after the user presses "save"? Thanks, Joe function pyrdfa_entity_update($node){ if ($node->type=="article"){ drupal_set_message('pyrdfa_entity_update hook invoked!'); // Extract RDF metadata $ws_endpoint = "http://www.w3.org/2007/08/pyRdfa/extract?uri="."http://beta.planetmath.org/".$node->uri['path']; $returnXML = curl_post($ws_endpoint); // this will display OLD metadata drupal_set_message('<h2>Returned RDF/XML</h2><pre>'. htmlspecialchars($returnXML) .'</pre>'); } }

Custom Home Page
by Fred Jones 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

I have a new D7 site with a unique home page--I am migrating the entire site from static HTML. There is a top part which will be a View, and then four columns below. One of those is a View, but the other three aren't. They are static content but the client of course wants to be able to edit them easily. One has Title, Text, Image, Video and the other two have Title, Text, Image, Link So between them there's only 5 unique fields really. The layout is specialized, so if they can just edit those, I can do the rest. So I have a few questions: 1. My guess is that using Panels is overkill and I could just custom code a display for the home page. They have no plans to adjust anything beyond the content. Makes sense? 2. To let them edit the content I could either make a special content type and then have a field to assign one to column 1,2,3, but then maybe they will create two nodes for col 1. So I suppose I could setup a Rule that if they create a node and assign to a column that already has a node, then the rule will unset the existing node of that column. Then they could keep the old ones around. Or I could unpublish the existing node. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

When is a cck field not a cck field?
by Roger 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Now to dispel another myth. CCK is not needed in D7 at all, except to migrate fields from D6. ? Nancy? Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. Thank you Nancy. I didn't mention CCK as in the D6 module, I asked about cck fields. I do not know the correct terminology for the fields formerly known as cck fields which as I understand it are now core - so if they are not cck fields what are they? How should Drupalisters who know not such vagaries refer to that which is not a cck field? Injustice Roger

Vote API module Anonymous vote rollover Immediately5 min15 min30 min1 hour3 hours6 hours9 hours12 hours1 day2 days4 days1 weekNever The amount of time that must pass before two anonymous votes from the same computer are considered unique. Setting this to 'never' will eliminate most double-voting, but will make it impossible for multiple anonymous on the same computer (like internet cafe customers) from casting votes. This is not working .Could you please tell for solution for this Regards Selvaraj.C

How to find the value of checkbox in a form
by Kim, Soonho (IFPRI) 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Dear all; How are you? I have a problem to find a checkbox value in a form. Here is the page I am working on. http://www.hyalina.com/event/building-and-updating-social-accounting-matrix… In the bottom of page, there is collapsed form ("Sign up for Building and Updating a Social Accounting Matrix"). Inside, there is "Data" section. Inside "Data" section, I added a checkbox (Supply and Use Tables/Input-Output Table). What I want to do is that if the checkbox is checked, then one textfield (year) is shown. If unchecked, then one textfield (year) is removed. I can get some data from $_POST. (See the above link with DSM ($_POST or See the attached). I can see the element (data1_checkbox) of the form, but I can not find the value of the checkbox (checked or not checked). Do you know how to find the value? I guess that I might get the value from " $form_state['values'][data1_checkbox] " but I don't know how to get the $form_state from $form.. Could you help me out? Thanks so much!! Best Regards, Soonho

Menu for Kodaly
by Broyhill, Gary 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

I may have fixed the disappearing menu ... I noticed that in the menu settings it was spelled koday (lower case k). I added "Kodaly" to the list (along with "kodaly"). Our server, which is Linux/Apache, is case sensitive on URLs so that may have been the problem. That's why I recommend making all URLs lower case even if they include a proper noun. Let's see if this fixes it. Gary
