How/where should I start with Drupal
by Katy Mozafar 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi All, I'm a newbee with Drupal. I need to make some changes to web sites written in Drupal. I do have access to FTP server and to the database. I can't figure out the file structure, I don't know how to start at all. What do I need to install? How do I find the files? Where to start? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best, Katy

I have posted it in og issues Thank you. As somebody else wrote before, the appropriate place for your post is the issue queue for OG, because it's read by the developers and by other people who might run into the same problem.

by Roger 02 May '12

02 May '12

Further to my previous email. I found that the My Groups >> Groups audience data is stored in table og. use data7; select * from og; displays the data which can only be altered not removed. +-----+------+-------------+-------------------------------------+-------+------------+ | gid | etid | entity_type | label | state | created | +-----+------+-------------+--------------------------------------+-------+-----------+ | 6 | 10 | node | This is event #1 | 1 | 1335931712 There is no content of this name. And the <Groups audience> field does not dislpay in <label> aplhanumeric order and cannot be altered, it seems fixed to gid order. This is very awkward Can someone help me please, I need to have the ability to create and delete audience members at will. TIA Roger

Drupal 7 OG problem
by Roger 02 May '12

02 May '12

I have OG set up and had a couple of trial groups while learning. I now have a usable list of groups in Groups Audience from which to choose but cannot find a way to get rid of the trial group names. They are not in the database that I can find, I have created views of content, all the og lists, groups, etc and the names do not display yet they remain. I have manually searched the database og tables, nothing there. --I have refreshed and used different browsers, cleared the cache 7 times, Switched Group Audience off and on. --I have deleted them from Content, I have deleted the content types and reconstructed them but the list remains in tact. --I can add new groups to the Group Audience and change the names, these display as entered but I cannot remove any. --Note: only the Organic Groups module is turned on, og-ui, og register, og views integration, og access control were on and used to add fields but are now off -- All remain active in Content types and the fields are available in <Manage Display>. - og does not display in < Configuration> og modules are off but still active, this is puzzling! I'm thinking they must be stored in a javascript file somewhere in the file system. I really need help on this one as I am very nervous about having it go live with faulty selections. This had got to be a major bug but I have no idea how to tell anyone who can fix it. The only way I have found to get rid is to delete the database and reinstall -- not an option on the site now under construction. Can someone tell me where to look to fix the problem or how to clean out the Groups Audience. thanks in advance Roger

Drupal 7/Zen Theme Question
by Hakan 02 May '12

02 May '12

In Drupal 7, I have created a subtheme from Zen which I am - whenever I have some spare time - slowly developing into the custom theme for one of my websites. Obviously this is a learning experience although I do have a little experience from Drupal 6 several years back. I have installed Firebug under Firefox and am using it to look at various properties of one of the pages I am theming. My footer message shows an id of "block-block-1" - which I have then used to assign the appropriate CSS property values. I would, however, like to understand where/how that id is generated and did a grep of the entire website looking for that particular id. I only found it in the Zen theme and in my derived subtheme, not in any particular Drupal file. Could someone who knows Drupal 7 better tell me where that particular id is generated for the footer message? Thanks.

You can start at lynda.com. $25 for a single month, but they have the Drupal basics, and themeing basics, on Drupal 6 & 7. This is just so you can get up to speed asap. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Katy Mozafar" <katy_mozafar(a)yahoo.com> To: <support(a)drupal.org> Subject: [support] How/where should I start with Drupal Date: Tue, May 1, 2012 3:49 pm Hi All, I'm a newbee with Drupal.

Re: [support] Strange characters in source of block
by Anthony 01 May '12

The problem seems to have something to do with settings for so called magic quotes. I have been advised and I quote: *This is a recent Hostmonster and Bluehost server issue* *In php.ini change this* *; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data. magic_quotes_gpc = Off* But now I have another problem. As soon as I try to save a block I get a message similar to the following regardless of browser used. The wording in Chrome is: * The changes you made will be lost when you leave this page. Are you sure you want to leave this page? [with choices] Leave this page? Stay on this page?* Any experience with this? *Thanks * *Tony * * * On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Ms. Nancy Wichmann <nan_wich(a)bellsouth.net>wrote: > I have never encountered this.
