more on views
by Roger 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I am experimenting with views and taxonomy based on my last post about taxonomy. In a test setup, I have Vocabularies, state, locality, venue, event, each has populated terms. Event content type has: Title, Event type, Venue - term reference to the locality vocabulary with auto complete widget Locality - term reference to the State vocabulary with auto complete widget State - term reference Contact - term reference Event dates Body I entered data into event and auto completed Event type, Venue and Contact. Created events tab which displays the data from a core view. I do not know how to alter the default core view. Each field is a link supposed to go to a page or block with explanatory information for example: click on the name of the venue it should display a block of info about how to find the venue and display a small map. Click on the contact name and it should display further contact info. Needless to say it does not do this, instead display the event again under the venue heading. Click on Locality it shows the locality heading and the State field contents. I am really stuck on how to change the default view and get the links working. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance Roger

SA-CORE-2013-003 after updating from 7.23 to 7.25
by Afan 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi to all! After I updated my Drupal website from 7.23 to 7.25 I'm getting this Public files directory Not fully protected Seehttp://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the/sites/default/files/directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution. Temporary files directory Not fully protected Seehttp://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the//tmp/directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution. On the https://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 it said under Solution "... upgrade to Drupal core 7.24." In may case it would be downgrade, right? What should I do? Thanks for any help, Afan

Explicitly using drupal CSS classes in 'external' content
by Tim Johnson 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

To define 'external' - I am working on a proof-of-concept for a client. I have written a drupal module which renders legacy CGI which uses my own python framework, which I have maintained for years. The content is delivered into drupal via jQuery ajax. This is 'step 1' in migrating this very large legacy project into drupal. The content of the legacy framework is created via a MVC strategy using html templates which have hard-coded css classes. Is there a way to leverage drupal css classes rather than those which were 'hand-rolled' for the original? This is an inquiry rather than a request for help. I would welcome any comments [except for "are you crazy?" :) ] and pointers to similar discussions and documentations. IOWS : Is there a "css naming protocol" that is observed accross themes? -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com

The best book you can get is Pro Drupal Development. Believe me, it will become your lifeline and covers everything. I got it off Amazon for dirt cheap. It's a big book but it will help you.

Best ways to intigrade my blog post on drupal to appear on my home page.
by jonathan candler 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi all. so, I have a website that I’ve setup for my radio station which you can go to with http://kjscradio.com, anyways, under that domain I have a directory which apache serves up my blog. so, http://kjscradio.com/blog. The thing what I would like to know is what would be a way that I could implement a way so that the posts that I do from drupal would appear on my home page? I was trying to find a way of how to do it, but I’m not sure of what I would do. would I have to do the include function in .php and include the .xml file in my code that I rote on my site, or would I have to do something different. If anyone one can help with this, I would be very grateful. thanks all and have a good day.

Understanding why authcache issues ajax requests
by Dan Kegel 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

I'm slowly coming up the Drupal performance learning curve. APC and MySQL query cache were easy. autcache is a bit more challenging. I'm trying to understand authcache. I turned it on, not bothering with memcache, and after I realized that you can't test it (easily?) with apachebench, started playing with it interactively. Seems to work great except that Authcache Debug says it's making ajax requests, and I can't figure out why. In the following example, I opened page node/251 (by its long name), then clicked on Authcache Debug to see what it said: Authcache.info (logged in: joe)page_render: "1437.65 ms" page_queries: "366 queries @ 516.49 ms (36%)" cache_render: "2.07 ms (69,352% increase)" cache_uid: "2" cache_inc: "database" cache_time: 1389502279 node_author: "admin" (page_age): "17 seconds" Disable caching for this browser session HTML/JavaScript time: 99 ms ________________________________ Authcache.ajaxRequest #1 Request:q: "node/251" node_history: "251" Response:node_history: "1389502279" db_queries: "2 queries @ 55.2 ms" Any clue as to how to figure out why it's making that ajax request? Thanks, Dan

Blank page in Safari
by Prothero William 10 Jan '14

Folks: I'm getting a very odd problem with my site. On my site, I get a normal front page. When I log in, I get a blank page. This happens on Safari in my desktop mac, Firrefox, and Safari on my iPad. What could cause this? If I erase all of the cache data, I get the front page again. http://es.earthednet.org Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org
