Containment issue with accordion
by Gerald Klein 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi, I am working with a glossey adaptive theme and I have a toggle (shortcode) that produces a [accordion] content section in the center area of a 3 column page, I want to include a list of images in the right column but when I do the accordion breaks containment by going past the bottom of the page instead of pushing it larger. If I take the images out of the right column it works correctly. I added clearfix in a number of containers in the center and the right column and I noticed that it is already added in a number of places by drupal. Does anyone have an idea of how to approach this to get it to function right? http://108.220.3.98/partnerships this is a URL to the offending page thanks in advance for your help. --jerry -- Gerald Klein DBA**** ContactMe(a)geraldklein.com www.geraldklein.com <http://geraldklein.com/>**** jk(a)zognet.com**** 708-599-0352**** Arch Awesome, Ranger & Vim the coding triple threat.

Create and manage content directly from the database.
by Wipe_Out 08 Jun '12

Hi, I am creating a booking management application and the bookings are largely generated and managed from a MS Access front end working directly on a MySQL database.. Now we need to integrate these bookings into the Drupal website so that users can add or update bookings for themselves.. I have created a content type with the required fields and now need to work out how to create content directly with SQL from MS Access.. Has anyone ever created content this way or have any idea which tables need records created/updated?? Unfortunately the system needs to be able to be updated from the Drupal site and from the MS Access application so imports and feeds won't work.. Thanks for any ideas or help..

Maybe I can put it a slightly different way for you. Could be you've been hacking databases so long that you are programmers, and don't know it. The fact that you thought of this and feel comfortable with the idea leads me to think so. OTOH I couldn't agree more with the other postings; to put it plainly I'd recommend working with Drupal straight out, and going from there. Doing uber-tricky stuff like working directly on the backend database is really advanced, and for a beginner the odds of it leading to pain and suffering are high. Just my two cents.

Thanks for your replies. I'm not sure about others destination=. The result is part of ''exampleview/myarg' (final destination is ''exampleview'), not another page. That's very strange, seems like something transforms the string. ADM

Form submit via ajax and validate
by D. Michel Morelli 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi all. I have a custom form, and I need to send it via ajax. I know that exist ['#ajax'] so this is my form: $form = array(); $form['name'] = array( '#type'=> 'textfield', '#size' => 30, '#title'=> 'Nome', '#weight' => "float up" ); $form['email'] = array( '#type'=> 'textfield', '#size' => 30, '#title'=> 'Email', ); $form['phone'] = array( '#type'=> 'textfield', '#size' => 30, '#title'=> 'Telefono', ); $form['msg'] = array( '#type'=> 'textarea', '#size' => 30, '#rows' => 3, '#title'=> 'msg', ); $form['my_captcha_element'] = array( '#type' => 'captcha', '#captcha_type' => 'captcha/Math', ); $form['invia'] = array( '#type'=> 'submit', '#value' => 'Invia', '#weight' => 40, '#ajax' => array( 'callback' => 'xblock_form_contatto_ad_form_submit', 'wrapper' => 'form_submit', ), ); $form['markup'] = array( '#prefix' => '<div id="form_submit">', '#suffix' => '</div>', '#markup' => '', ); This is my callback function: function xblock_form_contatto_ad_form_submit($form, $fs) { $errors = form_get_errors(); if ($errors) { $out ="<span style='color: red;'>"; foreach ($errors as $k => $v) { $out .= $v."<br>"; } $out .="</span>"; return $out; } $body = theme('xblock_form_contatto_ad_form',array('data' => $fs['values'])); mail("michel(a)ziobuddalabs.it","Contatto da form",$body); return "<span style='color: green;'>Invio effettuato</span>"; } My problem is the form validation: I have a captcha and I do not insert nothing so captcha validate return an error, and I can see it in the json "command" result, but when I reinsert the captcha with correct "entry" I get this: 0: {command:settings, settings:{basePath:/, pathPrefix:,…}, merge:true} 1: {command:insert, method:null, selector:null,…} command: "insert" data: "<span style='color: red;'>The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.<br></span>" method: null selector: null settings: null 2: {command:insert, method:prepend, selector:null,…} command: "insert" data: "<div class="messages error">↵<h2 class="element-invisible">Error message</h2>↵ <ul>↵ <li>CAPTCHA session reuse attack detected.</li>↵ <li>The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.</li>↵ </ul>↵</div>↵" method: "prepend" selector: null settings: null "CAPTCHA session reuse attack detected" ???

drupal_goto and views arguments
by Adm 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

I posted this question on stackoverflow and on drupal.stackexchange, but no one solved my problem. I hope you can help me: I made a view with views module: "exampleview" View needs an argument: "myarg" I can load my page at "exampleview/myarg" and at "exampleview". When I call <?php drupal_goto('exampleview/myarg'); ?> the real destination is only "exampleview". Same result with: <?php $arr = array('exampleview','myarg'); drupal_goto($arr); ?> Have you any good idea about? Thanks all!

SMS in Drupal

My users want to be able to send text messages to a list of people. I see that there are at least two modules available, but both look like more than we need. Is there something simpler for texting? Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Changing root dir probs
by Anthony 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I moved my Drupal install from http://foo/bar to http://foo/ and can see the pages but am missing the images in the site/default/files folder even though they were moved. (background was that I was going to go live and change the name settings and Bluehost advised to move the site this way). I also get an internal server error when I try to login at /foo/user. I have looked in the htaccess and settings.php and have changed one path to the temp dir but other than that what should I have done? -- *Anthony Stefan Maciejowski*
