Optional default text in node
by Cindy Dykstra, WebMaker Inc. 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Noob here...I am trying to create a custom content type that gives my client the option to include, or not, a snippet of default text with the node. The content type is for a job posting, and I would like to include formatted text that includes links to the employment application with additional text. Although 99% of the postings will need this text to fill out the application, there are a couple scenarios where it would not be appropriate, like training sessions, etc. I'm using D7 with Views 3, what is the best way to make this work? -- Cindy Dykstra WebMaker Inc. <http://webmakerinc.com> 719-276-0908 toll-free: 866-376-0908 Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/webmakerinc> - LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/webmakerinc>

D7 Views 3 and PHP evaluation
by Kevin Davison 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Best practice may be to create a custom module, but in Views 2 we could use PHP in the View. Is this possible in D7 Views 3? I heard about a views php module. Anyone try this out? TY, K

Support for Importing nodes from D5 to D7 using Feeds
by Jessica Hannan - Halo Digital Design 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I'm under the gun to get these nodes into the new site, so I'm probably not reading everything correctly, but what is my Feed's URL (on the D5 site). I can't figure out where to find that. Thanks!

Importing ONLY nodes from D5 into D7 - Errors!!!
by Jessica Hannan - Halo Digital Design 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

I have a client that wanted to upgrade from D% to D7. Fortunately, they were ok with starting all over... but now that the website is ready, I need to move the nodes in. I exported the nodes into a sql file, imported them into the new database and although they show up in the new database, when I go back to the new website, it's giving me the following error. "PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'language' in 'where clause'... There is no column titled "language" in the nodes. I don't have a language or translation module loaded. I rolled the database back to get the website functional again, but I'd like to try to make this work as there are 207 nodes that I'd rather not add by hand!! Thanks!

My support request was not for a replacement, but for working examples of exactly this module, media_gallery, this works quite nicely in drupalgardens and it looks as if the module is also on drupal.org but as it appears to me, so far this is not quite true. Maybe drupalgardens just used this module to attract visitors to their site and did not provide a working version, neither on drupal.org nor as the exported form from drupalgardens.com I have come quite a way now, comparing the installed modules in drupalgardens and standard drupal... Here is a diff of the stuff that I have tried: http://pastebin.com/diff.php?i=M0ATwrSD however, even when I install those modules that I was missing, the functionality is still not there... this monster! Anyone else? Daniel

Re: [support] Uploading & Downloading Files via FTP
by damilarefagbemi＠gmail.com 10 Apr '12

Thanks for the response Earnie. I have already implemented what you suggested and it works very well. However, my client wishes to utilize ftp for the purpose of uploading an downloading large files. How can I integrate ftp uploads and downloads into a drupal site?

If yes, how can I go about it? The ability to upload files is a core built-in module. There may be other modules to help manage the uploaded files; see drupal.org/project/modules and search for upload. You may want to create a content type that contains a field (assuming you're using D7) that allows for uploading the file and associate it to a node that gives a description of the file. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd Sent from my BlackBerry wireless device from MTN

Trouble with Relative Times and Filtering a View
by Shai Gluskin 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Client needs content published to a feed automatically, once every 24 hours at a particular time. The content has already been created for all future posts. I set it up as follows: Content: Item A: Post date set to 4/9 6 PM Item B: Post date set to 4/10 6 PM Item C: Post date set to 4/11 6 PM Item D: Post date set to 4/12 6 PM I've created the feed in a View. Number of items to display is: 1 Sort is ascending on Post date. Filter is set to: Post date is greater than now - 24 hours. This does not work. With this configuration Item A only gets onto the feed at 10:01 PM on 4/9. It seems to work right if I set the filter to: Post date is greater than "now - 20 hours." Clearly this must have something to do with the fact that the site is in "EDT" which is UTC - 400. The site uses Drupal 6.25 with Date 2.8. The site time zone is set to "America/New York" and "user configurable times zones" are "disabled." Though I seem to have it working, I'm still confused. Can anyone explain? Thanks, Shai

running media_gallery with youtube and vimeo and oembed
by Daniel Germer 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I have been long trying to make media_gallery work in the same way as it is working in drupalgardens.com sites, and have not yet managed to do so. here are the modules that I have enabled: http://pastebin.com/Vbq656KH What am I missing? I would love to go without the gardens-features, but that leaves the gallery in an even worse state. On drupal.org I have filed a documentation request and I am trying to create docs for this module to be useable in a standard drupal install, (without gardens-features which are not downloadable as a project from drupal.org) I have created an Issue on http://drupal.org/node/1525324 for this problem with some screenshots and hope to clarify the situation there by expanding my experience and sharing the good and bad parts of it for the community. My question Has anyone made this module work in drupal 7 outside of drupalgardens? If yes, which modules am I missing in my list above? greetings, Daniel (triple5)
