More than one add to cart buttons on a product page
by Mukesh Agarwal 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi, Is there a way I can create multiple add to cart buttons on my product page, one for each attribute? With an attribute you have options like select, radio, checkboxes, etc, my question is what would it take to have add to cart buttons for each attribute. I would be more than happy to work on a patch for the same but I did not want to hack the core ubercart module. There are a lot of use cases for this as it is sometimes important to highlight all your attributes in a unique way. Any suggestions help will be appreciated. Cheers, Mukesh

Domains, subdomains on D7
by John Summerfield 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

I am trying to create a website for a club, we'll call it's domain example.com example.com should be the administration site, no club members per se, although its registered users might be members of associated clubs, its in order for that to be the case. Associated clubs with have subordinate domains, so friends.example.com, raiders.example.com and so on. It's also in order for people to be members of more than one club, and they often are. Example.com will provide some general information that should be accessed directly by all the subordinate clubs. On the other hand, each club will provide information of its own, and that should be accessible in a menu item, "club news." Also, each club should be able to provide some specific information as an alternative to that provided at example.com. For example, example.com/About would tell its visitors about the base organisation. For example, "We promote our sport.... "We have associated clubs here, there and everywhere." raiders.example.com/About would say that "We have these competitions.... "We have school programs at .... "Our clubrooms are at 45 Raiders Way, Bordertown." and so on. What I want is for Raiders visitors see only raiders.example.com/About but not the one at example.com or friends.example.com. What happens is that a user registered for both example.com and raiders.example.com has, not one, but two /About links. An example of information that only Raiders can see is Raiders' membership list. Our law requires that membership lists of all incorporated bodies (in Australia that means Example Inc, Raiders Inc - company names are generally titles Ltd or Pty Ltd) must be available to members. For the present I don't propose to provide more than just the names of members, but I do wish it to be available only to those members, and not to General Public. Similarly, Club News would mean Raiders' news at Raiders, Friends' news at Friends, but their news should be accessible through another menu choice. I have a working list of associated clubs, so switching between domains is trivial. I an happy to have just one list of members, but they must only see member's-only content from whichever site they are looking at at the moment, and then only if they are members of that club. I have been trying to do this with the domains modules, but I am not sure that the will let me do what I want without cutting code. I am pretty feeble with PHP, but I might manage a small amount. Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve my ends? Is using the domains modules my best choice, or should I look at something else?

Drupal 7 as simple Project Manager
by lamp＠afan.net 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi, I have few "clients" I'm helping them with their website. They are sending to me stuff to add/delete/edit on my private email and it's now a little mess. And I overlooked few times their emails. I was thinking, if it's possible, to build Drupal 7 website (I have few "empty" domains) and use it as a simple Project Manager.� My idea was to create accounts for each client and they will be able to see only their stuff. I would create content type "Task" where they can write down what they want me to do, upload files, etc. How hard/easy it would be to make? Any comments? Thanks, LAMP

The 508 reports keep mentioning what the site looks like without CSS. Does anyone know how to turn it off, so that no CSS is available? Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

How to set Default Values based on Selected Entity Reference
by Steve Wickham 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know of a way to set default values on a new node once an entity reference field has been selected using data from the entity referenced? Here's the situation: I'm building a site for cycling club and they have Ride Events which we have set up as one content type. After a Ride Event is completed, a Ride Report needs to be created and that content type uses Entity Reference to be associated with the correct Ride Event. Ride Reports have a lot of the same data fields as Ride Events, just these are the actual values versus what was planned, so I would like to set the default values for Ride Report Fields based on data taken from the corresponding Ride Event. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help in advance because this is making my brain hurt! All the Best, Steve Wickham Wickwood Marketing P 518-464-6788 F 518-452-6899 (please call first) C 518-951-0656 steve(a)wickwoodonline.com

Links Manager
by Alison 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi, having spent many hours searching drupal.org, without success, though I might ask here. Did lots of searchs on "Links", URLS's etc, but l found little relating to the management of external links. Modifying a site for a not-for-profit org. They have an unrelated to Drupal MySQL table of 150-200 entries relating to service organisations. The table has the name of the organisation, service offered and the organisations website URL. They would like me to put this up on their website for public access with users being able to go straight to a listed service website. Having little desire to re-type all the data, looking for a Drupal module that will manage external links, preferably with an import facility. As many of the service organisations can be quite dynamic - name changes, mergers, etc. being able to update changes without too much hassle would be an advantage. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My technique for what it's worth is: ---- Take a copy of the /sites/default/settings.php lines 203-216, I think which is the database username and password information. --Take a tar.gz of the /sites folder -ONLY-. Not the whole Drupal thingy. --Get a sql of the database, you could use a tar.gs of the sql but I have seen problems with compressing and extracting so I do not do this. Create the new database. --- All this presupposes that you have a backup of the database --before-- you changed ISP and can use that. --- On a shared server...If using mysql and you have cPanel, create the new database with the same name, username and password. copy the sql file to a safe place on the server using cPanel or ssh. Preferably not in public_html. --- Ask the new ISP to put the data from the old database into the newly created one. ON a shared server they won't let me play in mysql so they do it for me. They do it very well and fast. Once the database is in place....... --Do a fresh extract -but not install- of the Drupal system on your new server. -- Rename the /sites folder to something like /xxxsites so it falls to the bottom of the drupal directory, easily found and deleted when everythingl works. Copy the tar.gz of your original /sites folder to the new file system. --unpack/extract the /sites.tar.gz to create an exact copy of the orignal sites folder in the new system. Set permissions on /sites/default/settings.php to chmod 777 -- in the copied over /sites/default/ settings.php, delete the database information and save -- lines 203 - 217, anyway it's highlighted and easy to find. --- Start installing Drupal: When it asks for the user name and password, simply copy and paste from the previous settings.php. Continue the installation and your new site should appear fully in tact. I do this frequently and have not experienced any difficulties to date. After it all works simply chmod 644 the /settings.php file so Drupal doesn't complain. Hope this helps Roger
