Dear all, Used the date import script tomove from event-style dates to the date module. The times displayed for the generated fields are incorrect and are shifted two behind the original event dates. I'm suspecting atimezone configuratonissue but can't figure out where the problem is. I tried several confiuration of the timezone handling pull-down in the date field, but this does not seem to make any difference. Personalised timezones is disabled on the site. An exemple of the issue can be seen here: http://www2.bodhicharya-france.fr/fr/node/914 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sherab.

Entity_metadata_wrapper: Does field have data?
by Nancy Wichmann 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

With fields I often do: if ($vca = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_corresponding_vca')) { This makes sure there is some data before trying to do anything with it. But I've searched all over the place and even dug into the code. How do you do this with entity_metadata_wrapper? I want to give the users an error message that means something to them, and sometimes just set the value to zero. I see that the Entity module has a protected function called "dataAvailable" but I can't use a protected function. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.

Drupal Sendgrid Email Support (Kamal Palei) : My solution
by Chris McAndrew 10 Aug '13

I had the same issues and while I don't have a shared server, it shouldn't matter. Sendgrid has a ton of docs depending on your situation and how to test by pinging back and forth. To start though with Drupal, you should have *SendGrid Integration and **SMTP Authentication Support Modules. *SMTP module lets you debug to see if it's even being sent. Not sure you even need the Sendgrid module. Just make sure your settings are correct. If you are using gmail then use the port recommended and SSL. If you have trouble, email Sendgrid. They are very helpful. I assume you have a Sendgrid account setup? Let me know if you need more help. The mail was a pain for me too but it will work—eventually. You just may need to talk to someone.

Correct way to create Departments/Categories cck selectors in Drupal 7?
by Alexander Arul 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi guys, help please: *1. My Scenario:* I'm building a shopping cart and using Ubercart+Drupal 7. It's a cosmetics and related eCommerce site. Manufacturers will be able to log in and create their own products with - Product attributes {Name, SKU, price etc} - Department + Category - can be multiple - a brand A product can exist in multiple Department/Categories too. Sample screenshot: http://picpaste.com/pics/menu.1375842751.png : [image: Inline images 1] *2. Elaboration of the situation* I'm having trouble figuring out the most correct, stable and fastest way to set up Department/Categories with the following goals and criteria: 2i. Product - CCK fields for adding Department, Categories to product: - Select a department, and it's associated category (Dep+Cat) - There are going to be about 12 Deps, 15 Cats each = 180 categories. I do not want to list this as an entire taxonomy dropdown - confusing and ugly. My thought right now is to have two multi-select boxes side by side - "Department" with 12 items & "Category". To illustrate, here's a simple wireframe: http://picpaste.com/Add_dept_cat.png [image: Inline images 2] - Manufacturers can list the product in multiple departments and categories. 2ii. Add or Create and Add brand to product - Add an existing brand to the product - If brand doesn't exist, add a new brand and add it to the product - Brands are attached to the manufacturers who created them 2iii. I'm searching and finding modules such as taxonomy_menu, taxonomy_hierarchy and content_taxonomy. However a lot of them look like they are not stable or supported for Drupal 7. Even if they are ok, I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction by using these modules. 2iv. Shoppers (Authenticated users) should be able to see the main menu on top which actually lists the departments available. On hovering, a particular department's categories & brands within are shown. They can click a department from the menu or drill down to category or brand. On selecting one of these three, the product listing comes up -- if department, shows department items, allowing filtering by brand/category -- if category selected, e.g "moisturisers", shows all items and allows filtering by brand --- if brand selected, shows all items for that brand in this department / category, allows you to move up and see all items for the brand in this department, and in other departments.. *3. Question* Having said all that, my question is more to do with the CCK input fields of department, categories & brands and the underlying taxonomy / menu structures and modules. For 2iii, any tips are welcome, but I'm not at that stage yet anyways so I'm not looking at that yet. I'm having trouble with - how I should structure my data in taxonomies or other structures (menus?) - how to create the cck fields for the manufacturer to add multiple department / categories to his product - how he can add a brand to his product or create and add a new brand to his product Ideally I want to achieve the above with modules in the most Drupal-correct, stable and fastest way possible, without having to write any code. Best Regards Alex

nice_menus and IE
by Prothero William 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Folks: I am having a problem with Nice Menus in Internet Explorer. I'm not sure whether the problem is only on my Macintosh, where I'm running Win7, XP, and Vista in Parallels virtual machine. But, in IE 8, the drop down menus don't drop down. Would someone check to see if IE sees my drop down menus on a native PC OS, in IE? The site is at: http://es.earthednet.org The menus that drop down are "Fisheries Home" and "Learning Resources". The others don't have sub-menus. Thanks, Bill Prothero William waprothero(a)gmail.com

disable a feature without turning off all the modules?
by Info Razor 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hi there, Quick question. Is there a simple way to disable a feature without the feature then erasing all the settings it had in it? For example: if the feature has a Context, I want to disable the feature but not the context that was inside of it (the feature is then just a delivery system). Thanks for your help, Sebastian. -- Info Razor Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)
