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

Can't clear cache with drush (file permissions)
by Tim Johnson 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

I'm getting file permission errors while trying to clear caches using drush. FYI: This is on my own workstation. OS = Mac OSX drush version 5.8 Running as user tim with : linus:~ tim$ id ...,70(_www),... apache is user _www files involved are user:group _www:_www permissions are 664 on files, 755 on the directory, which is sites/default/files/js I note that sites/default/files/css is being handled without error and has permissions of 775 I want to automate this process for the command line as much as possible so would like a solution that doesn't entail clearing from the site itself Would there be anything wrong with changing directory permissions on sites/default/files/js to 775? (My workstation is closed to the outside world) TIA -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com

by Pia Oliver 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

I have a site, www.panevinosb.com, where on the home page I have a block which has a title and one picture. The link is "pane-e-vino-menu". The picture is linked to "pane-e-vino-menu" which has a link in the menu bar on the front page also. That link is "node/4" . The first time I click on that block it takes me to the menu, if I then go back to the home page and click the block again I get a 404 error! I have tried to link to "node/4" but that give me an error. What is going on here? thanks, Pia -- Pia Oliver <http://www.piasworld.com>

site::name and user::name goes blank....
by Kamal Palei 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Dear All Recently I noticed when account is created (D7), Drupal send a welcome mail to user (mode is no_approval_required), the format of the mail is something like this .. *user*, Thank you for registering at* <site>*. You may now log in by clicking this link or copying and pasting it to your browser. Please set your password accordingly. <link> username: *user* -- <site> team This was working fine till recently. Then I have written a custom module to send group mails. It is very simple, reads all mail ids from a table and send mail one by one just making use of PHP's inbuilt mail function. Then I noticed, all the yellow colored text above goes blank when Drupal sends mail to user. On further debugging found that, in function *_user_mail_text *(in user module), the variables *site::name* and *user::name* are blank. Did anybody face this kind of issue anytime? Kindly give me some pointer how to approach to fix this issue. Thanks Kamal Net Cloud Systems

Index reset for a multi-value field in SOLR
by Kamal Palei 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Dear All I have added a multi value field in schema file (say skillset). In my * _apachesolr_index_document_build* hook, I get all the values of field and do add to $document using addField api. With this values are indexed and I can search, I get the search result perfect. Just for example purpose, say field name is *skillset* (it's a multi value field). Say initially I added, Java, PHP, MySQL, Drupal, C++ as skill sets to skillset field as separate separate values. If I search for PHP + MySQL + C++, I get this document. So far so good. Say after 1 month, user came and removed C++ skill set. Then in index, for skillset field the corresponding change should happen. That is first all old values should be removed, next Java, PHP, MySQL, Drupal should added only. Today I do not know how to remove a field's old values, Can somebody help me to find out how do I remove old datas for that particular field (skillset). Today what is happening, I go and add again. Now the resultant data for skillset becomes Java, PHP, MySQL, Drupal, C++, ava, PHP, MySQL, Drupal. Hence if I search c++, I get this document in search which is wrong. Please somebody help me or give me pointer how to delete the old data for a field in index. Please note that in case of single-value field this issue would not arsie. Thanks kamal Net Cloud Systems

Cannot Access Module Install Page
by Warren Keuffel 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I have a very strange problem -- I cannot access admin/module/install. Normally I install new modules with Drush but I had occasion to want to do it the traditional way and I simply cannot get that page to appear. When I enter that URL it takes me to the module list page. Drupal 7.22. Wanted to check here for possible "duh!" solutions before searching/opening an issue. Thanks! Warren
