Mass Upload
by Matthias Fechner 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Dear list, I'm in the process finishing a drupal site. For this I must upload a lot of pictures. These pictures should be stored in a special content type with an image field (drupal7). Is there a tool I can select all images and push them all in one step to the server which is generating then for every picture a node with the content-type 'Header Pictures'? Thanks Matthias -- "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Hi All Combining Search Files module with Search module. We have installed the regular Search module on our website without realizing that it didn't search documents. Then, we installed Search Files. I can see that it added a new search page to use for documents, but is there any way to combine this functionality with the regular Search module? It just seems increadably non-user-friendly to make our users have to search twice for every bit of information they want. (Not only searching twice, but doing so from different pages.) Idealy, there should be one search engine that searches the entire site, including all the files. Thanks&Regards Selvaraj.C

Full-text data search in InnoDB tables
by Kamal Palei 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi All I am using Drupal 6.26, MySql (innodb). I tried to first to do full text data search in InnoDB table. A simple query statement is shown as below. *SELECT * FROM resubmt_skill_ids WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('java')* But I get the below error. #1214 - The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes On further google search, came to know, only MyISAM type tables support full-text search. I am bit reluctant to change my tables from InnoDB to MyISAM. Can somebody suggest me is it not possible to do full-text search in InnoDB tables. Came across http://blogs.innodb.com/wp/2011/07/innodb-full-text-search-tutorial/ have not gone completely, but it looks author tells full-text search possible with innodb tables. If anybody has used full-text search on innodb tables, please let me know, how to do that from drupal perspective . Best Regards Kamal NECS, Bangalore

dbtng question
by a.sanchez75＠gmail.com 27 Aug '12

Hello, Sorry but I have a dummy question, is like a mistery for me. When I run this sql query $query = db_select('system', 'n'); $query->fields('n',array('type'))->condition('name', 'book'); $result = $query->execute()->fetchAssoc(); I get results, but when I get (I replace 'contexthelp' string instead of 'book' string) $query = db_select('system', 'n'); $query->fields('n',array('type'))->condition('name', 'contexthelp'); $result = $query->execute()->fetchAssoc(); I get empty results when I should get one row at least. Just in case I have checked out the string contexthelp and is stored in my system table. Someone has any idea why I get this behavior? Thanks in advance

Proximity search / view with contextual filter
by Christian 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hello, I am looking for a way to implement a view with contextual filters in the following way: /[term]/[city] The resulting site should display all nodes with the taxonomy term in the proximity of the city. This seems like a very common task to me but I have not been able to find an answer to this for weeks... Does anyone use this kind of view? Which modules (and versions) are you using? Might this be possible with Apache Solr? I tried so far: -locations: can only search in the proximity of zip codes, but I need cities -openlayers_proximity: the contextual search seams to be broken Please, any help is greatly appreciated!

Searching keywords in tables also in file content
by Kamal Palei 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hi All I am using Drupal 6.26. Basically I am trying to develop a site where users can come and register their resumes . Recruiters can serach profiles with certain keywords and select the right profiles. While users register profile, they might have entered skill set in a text field, that is stored in tables. Also users upload their resumes. Now I am looking at how can do efficient searh both from tables , as well as from resume file content. Search from skill set stored in tables -------------------------------------------------------------- Probably here, I can have integer IDs corresponding to skill sets, and skill sets can be stored in integer format (1 skill for 1 user in 1 row in a table), I can probably develop some PHP code to do database query to get the required profiles. Search in resume file content --------------------------------------------------------------- The resume may be a .doc or .txt or .docx or .pdf file. How can I search the file contents, is there any module available to do that. Or I need to use PHP code to dig into files , read the content and search. I read about apachesolr module, just want to take experts opinion before I proceed to use apachesolr for file search content. Also I read about sphinx. Kindly guide me for both the case, searching skills sets from tables , and searching skill sets from file contents, what are best methods available today. Best Regards Kamal NECS, Bangalore

Database query cache issue
by Kamal Palei 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hi All I am using Drupal 6.26. I am trying to upload a file. One user can upload only one file. After a while, if user wants to upload another file, I need to delete the first file and upload the second file. To delete the first file, I do a query to get the first file name, deletes first file and uploads the second file. After a while, if user wants to upload another file, when I do query to get the second file name (as I want to delete the second file now), I always get the first file name. So I am not able to delete the second file. Probably database cache plays a role here, how can I make sure, my query returns the latest data present in table, query should not pick the data from cache. Please refer code below. global $user; $FID = -1; $result = db_query("SELECT fid, filepath FROM {resubmt_table} LEFT JOIN {files} USING (fid) WHERE resubmt_table.uid = %d", $user->uid); $obj = db_fetch_object($result); if($obj) { $FID = $obj->fid; if($obj->filepath) { if(file_exists($obj->filepath)) { drupal_set_message("File exists deleting " . $obj->filepath); unlink($obj->filepath); } else { drupal_set_message("File does not exists, so not able to delete, file = " . $obj->filepath); } } } Many times, I am not able to delete the file. Please suggest how can I fix this issue. Thanks Kamal NECS, Bangalore
