Roger, You can also try using /?q=user as that sometimes will work. If not, you definitely need the error logs to assist. It's usually something simple with the settings that got messed up. If you use backup and migrate you can restore the db if you can get into phpmyadmin. If you have no backups, in your settings.php set "allowFreeAccess" to true. It's commented out so uncomment, set to true and that should let you in. Don't forget to set back to false. The other thing I've done is delete the salt hash but don't close the settings.php and if you get in, you can revert and save again. The AllowFreeAccess should work though. Hopefully that helps. Good luck.

Disappearing user login
by Roger 05 Jan '14

05 Jan '14

We have a most peculiar situation. While developing a theme in zen starterkit and following tuts and videos, etc the user login ceased to function. Cannot log in even with localhost/mydrupal/user which is how I normally login. All we get is a blank screen. Google suggested some overriding code to go into the page.tpl.php, which allowed login but returns the new theme screen but no admin even if we enter localhost/mydrupal/admin in the url. /user is core functionality, file template and css are all available, we have not changed any core files. I used drush to make garland the default theme and tried to drush disable the zen theme but both fail. drush returns an error request -drush clear-cache drush which in turn returns the same error. I did drush up to install drupal 7.25 and update modules but it did not help. Cannot find anything we have done in the dev theme which may relate to /user login or admin. most perplexing. How would we solve the lack of admin and why would login cease to function? Help much appreciated Roger

Hi Roger, The blank screen means you're getting a php error but you have display_error set off in php.ini or in the boot path. You may have an error in your login path, your session table may be corrupted, you might be running out of memory on your server, or the server may be having trouble setting a session cookie on your browser. These are common problems. Try adding error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE); after the boot code in index.php Also check your apache logs watchdog table to see if you're getting errors. -- -- -Don Pickerel- Fane Software

Different page designs for zen theme
by Roger 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

Hello How would I go about creating different page displays using zen starterkit. On google and StackOverflow others have asked similar questions but the answers do not work or are inconclusive. I have used Panels but would like to learn how to theme the required pages myself. I have page--page1.tpl.php, page--page2.tpl.php etc each with it's own html and css. Zen template.tpl.php has 3 includes probably core functions. I need pages in which the html and css is entirely different for instance, page1.tpl.php has 2 columns, no header, no footer with small text and image blocks in each column, page 2 has header 3 columns and footer, text should flow into adjacent columns and so on for each page. I do not want a baseline template like page.tpl.php. Creating html and css code is no problem. I have content types for each page and added a few characters in each page created in each content type but localhost/drupal/page1 does not call the html and css from that page instead defaulting to page.tpl.php which overrides all pages except page_front.tpl.php and places it's header and primary content on all pages then my page1, etc displays underneath. I appreciate any help to solve this thanks Roger

D7: how to describe a library?
by Shérab 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Dear all, I'm using D7 to build a catalog rerefencing books available in different libraries and in different formats (Audio, Digital text, Braille...). To achieve this I define a content type for bibliographic recors. It has fields for title, author, ISBN, book description. And also I consider using the composed_field module to define an item filed. So a bibliographic record will have as many item fields as there are available books in different libraries. Each item filed should include at least the type of item, (Braille, audio, etc.), the library that owns it and a link for getting more information. My question is: how best describing libraries in Drupal? Ideally one shold be able to use a library name as a taxonomy field (clicking on it will show all the books for which the library has at least one item of that book). But one may also want to associate othe rinformation to a library. At the minimum a link to its website, but perhaps also aphysical address, a phone number, perhaps even freeform text info, so that would suggest to create a dedicated content type for libraries but then I suspect that the benefits of taxonomy fields would be lost. Any comment on how to best represent libraries in particular but also on the general architecture described above would be warmly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance! Shérab.
