Avoid sub-theme
by Chris Miller 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hi Folks, I've added JavaScript/AJAX to a node display which is managed by Display Suite. Consequently, I've added: drupal_add_library('system', 'drupal.ajax'); drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'music_display') . '/music_display.js'); to ds-2col-fluid--node-music.tpl.php This works well because the JavaScript is only loaded for this content-type, but it only works because I sub-themed Bartik on this development site. On the production site, I don't know what theme the designers will use, so I want to move these two line to a module. How do I create the same qualification, meaning make the above two calls only in the case where Drupal, in the guise of Display Suite, is displaying the "Music" node? Chris.

Sorting with multiple dates
by Chris Miller 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hi Folks, I have a really sticky problem. I have a content-type called "Coming Event" which has zero or more dates that represent the occurrence of the event. I have a view of these where I want each coming event to appear exactly once in the order of the earliest date in their list. So, let's suppose I have Event A and Event B and they are happening in this order A, B, B, A, B. My view should show me "A B". After the first completion of A, I should see "B A". So this is not a difficult idea. Any sort that I specify results in one row for each date, so in the case of my example, I see five entries in my view. I should be able to aggregate these rows by some field, but I can't seem to find the magic formula and I get, believe it or not, HTML instead of rendered pages. I expect there to be a filter problem as some of the dates pass and are filtered out, and I don't know if that will be independent of this question. Chris.

Trouble adding a class to a ctools modal D7
by Jeff Greenberg 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

I'm running into css issues theming a ctools modal popup, because there isn't a class or id in it specific to its context... that is, any ctools modal popup on the site has the same ones. So, I'm trying to theme it so that I can add a class, and am going by what I see in its own example as well as one of the better ones I found, here: http://drupion.com/blog/10-steps-creating-ctools-modal-window-drupal-7 The code I have is below. The js from the module that process the modal fires (I put an alert at the start of it), but for some reason its contents are never used instead of the ctools default html. function mymod_callback($ajax, $nid) { $_SESSION['nid'] = $nid; if ($ajax) { ctools_include('ajax'); ctools_include('modal'); $form_state = array( 'ajax' => TRUE, 'title' => t('title), ); $output = ctools_modal_form_wrapper('mymod_form', $form_state); if (!empty($form_state['ajax_commands'])) { $output = $form_state['ajax_commands']; } print ajax_render($output); drupal_exit(); } else { return drupal_get_form('mymod_form'); } } function mymod_make_share_link($nid) { ctools_include('ajax'); ctools_include('modal'); return ctools_modal_image_button(file_create_url('public://icons/myimg.png'), 'myform/' . $nid . '/nojs', t('title'), 'ctools-modal-mymodal-style'); } Then in the page pre-process ctools_include('modal'); ctools_modal_add_js(); $mymodal_style = array( 'mymodal-style' => array ( 'modalTheme' => 'myModal', ) ); drupal_add_js($mymodal_style, 'setting'); ctools_add_js('mymodal', 'mymod'); ctools_add_css('mymodal', 'mymod'); } And finally, in the js file (function ($) { Drupal.theme.prototype.myModal = function () { var html = '' html += ' <div id="ctools-modal" class="mymodal">' ... other markup return html; } })(jQuery); -- --- drupal.org/user/367108 linkedin.com/in/jeffrgreenberg accidentalcoder.com / ayendesigns.com @accidentalcoder

Data collection and analysis
by Chris Miller 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hi Folks, I'm working on a data collection / analysis application. I need some advice. I'm pretty sure I can use normal Drupal forms to collect the data, but when it comes to analyzing, I'm not sure that normal forms is the way to go. I have NO idea how that data would be structured in the database. So, am I better off figuring out how: 1. to explore the data as stored by Drupal 2. to make Drupal store the data in the form I like It will not be simply statistics; the questions will be part of what is collected; questions will be posed by participants and answers given and we need to make sense of all of it. We will need to record who poses which questions, and we are interested in comparing profiles of both posed questions and answers, so you can see it can't be reduced to summary math like averages and standard deviations. How should I approach this? Chris. 916.799.9461

D7 upgrade - change to filtered html text format
by Kathleen Krause-Thompson 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Our Drupal 6 website has been around for 2 years and all editors use unfiltered html text format. Now that we know better and are upgrading to Drupal 7 I'm hoping to switch to filtered html. Since pre-existing nodes were created using unfiltered html, users assigned to filtered html can no longer edit node bodies. We need to use the secure format, rather than switch back to unfiltered. I've been experimenting with editing the signature_format field in the user table, but am not sure of the allowed values. I tried a '2' and 'filtered_html' and neither allowed the user to edit the node. Is there another way to go about this? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Get taxonomy alias in PHP (D7)
by Gibbs 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

How do you get the taxonomy *alias* in Drupal? I have a field template file and using the drupal_get_path_alias or url functions gives the wrong aliases. They return: > /tags/the-name When in fact the alias has been changed so it should be: > /blog/categories/name Cheers Gibbs

Strange Drupal 7 problem, site wants to reinstall
by Roger 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

I have a D7 site live and working. I copied the database and /sites folder and did a fresh install of D7.23 to my pc about a month ago. Using that on my Fedora 19 desktop version for development ideas, all worked well and I was doing some dev work till late last night. Today I cannot open that Drupal localhost/mydev . I have a localhost/sandbox site which does work. All file ownerships and permissions are the same on sandbox and mydev. To use, localhost/mydev wants to do a fresh installation. /sites/default/settings.php is the same as it was last night but even after chmod 777 settings.php, install reports that it does not exist. /sites/default/files is the same as last night but it reports that /sites/default/files does not exist. I suspect that it may be an ownership problem where /files and settings have to be owned by apache but have not had this issue on other test dev sites, or maybe apache has calked it again but that does not explain the /sandbox site working. Can someone please advise me on what to look for and what permissions should apply to appropriate files, perhaps even suggest why things may have changed between last night and this afternoon. Most curious Thanks in advance Roger

body not showing
by Alexander Garcia Castro 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hi all, I have drupal 7, my drupal is fondos.apice.org.co, I have created several pages, for instance http://fondos.apice.org.co/cms/?q=node/20#overlay-context=node/20%3Fq%3Dnod… no matter how I put content in the body of the page it just does not show up. however, if I try to edit it then there is the content. what am I doing wrong? how can I get this to work? I am not using anything other that the standard installation, it was working fine and then in the blink of an eye it just started to give me headaches. -- Alexander Garcia http://www.alexandergarcia.name/ http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/75943.html http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexgarciac

Strange Drupal 7 problem, site wants to reinstall
by Roger 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

I have stopped and restarted the server and even cold booted the system. I tend to agree that it's not finding the database but that has me stumped. The database exists, tables are as they were and populated, passwords are unaltered. I've checked /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but nothing is different. I deleted the database lines in /settings.php and entered random text in it's place which should have set off alarm bells. I'm thinking Drupal core core is not reading /settings.php and in fact not reading anything in the /sites/default file system as a whole and that has me concerned. Next step, I'll do a fresh install and copy the /sites file system over. That should prove or disprove the D7core assertion. Thanks Roger Try stoping and starting the server. I've had that happen before. It sounds like it's just not looking at the correct db. On Tuesday, November 12, 2013, Jeff Brown wrote: >> >The files are fine.
