Great Thanks from Russia
by Valery.Chelnokov 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Dear friends, Great Thanks from Russia for Drupal. Now we're using your Drupal for creating site for Russia Humaniti State Univercity at Moscow. We are basing upon the following book: Beginning Drupal by Jacob Redding about Drupal 7. There are arising some questions: *1*.We installed the Drupal 7.8 on Ubuntu-virtual machine. In this book: the Rules must substitute the Trigger technology. We received and installed in the sites/all/module the following modules: (see Figure 1 in attached file) You can see the files associated with Rules. Then we installed these files in Module screen. (see Figure 2) But in the Admin menu there is NO Rules option (see Fig. 2) Bun after clicking the option Structure we can see Custom context rulesets (see Fig. 3) One quetion arises: why does not the above book corresponds to real work of drupal. Or maybe final work of Drupal will fully correspond to Drupal? 2. It is imposible in our configuration to create the new role. 3. Now we're using ONLY the limitations about visibility that are on corresponding item. For exampleб when we created the 3-column panel we can see the corresponding limitations. 4. Whar book is fully correspond to Final Drupal VERSION 7. Please send us this book. Best regards, Denis, Valery -- Best regards, VALERY

references or entity reference?
by Wipe_Out 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, Trying to decide whether to references (node and user) or entity reference modules.. Does anyone have a good way to describe when to use which? I know references has more additional modules because its come from a D6 base while entity reference is new to D7 so hasn't had much developed for it.. What are the advantages to the newer entity reference module other than being able to reference entities other than users and nodes (assuming there are any)?? I have looked at the relation module but it looks too much for what I need and doesn't have a user friendly way of creating the relationships on entities during creation or editing.. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.. TIA

Using Git
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

I have downloaded msysgit. 1. It has a GUI built-in, so why does everyone list command line stuff? I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the GUI world and really don't want to go back, especially when I have to type in really long file locations and arcane parameters. 2. All I want to do is commit (CVS term) my changed code to D.O. I don't need a lot of other fancy stuff. 3. How do I get my 6.x code into my D7 sites/all/modules, convert it, and save it back as a 7.x version? Secondarily, I need to use it for patches to other modules. Yes, I have been looking at the tutorials on D.O. Seriously, do you think an old blond like me understands all that with limited to no explanations on what I am doing?

I have been viewing my website which was developed for computers (like PC's and Mac's) screens on an ipad and the layout on the ipad does not fit neatly within the webpage like it does for the larger computer screens.

Hi, I have been viewing my website which was developed for computers (like PC's and Mac's) screens on an ipad and the layout on the ipad does not fit neatly within the webpage like it does for the larger computer screens. Is their a way that I can utilized my existing website but have a different theme for ipad devices which has the same content except that the layout width is optimized for the smaller ipad screen? How can I identify that the browser is from an ipad and automatically go to this optimized for ipad theme instead default theme? Thanks, John

Site Slow Downs
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

I've been asked questions about a site that slows way down on occasion. This is a cloud-based server at Rackspace. Since Rackspace has a fairly good reputation, I am guessing they are not the real problem. I looked at the database stats; it is using Qcache and the numbers look pretty decent. What I do see that I question is that their notifications module (I forget which one): A) Writes to dblog (Watchdog) on every cron interval, even if it has nothing to do (I hate that). B) When there is a notification (pretty often), it writes a separate line for each one. C) Some of those notifications result in many (100 or more) emails. During one page refresh when I experienced the drastic slow down, this high volume email happened. So I am wondering if these high-volume email sends can have a serious effect on performance? Since I assume the answer is yes, what can be done to lessen this impact? I see two main spots to work on: Watchdog usage and email load.

Simplenews removes html headers after update
by toon severijns 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello All, I'm using Simplenews to send out a newsletter. When i create my newsletter issue and send it out (to test e-mail) everything goes fine. After i update my newsletter issue (even not changing any data) and send it out again i receive a plaintext e-mail. Maybe Mimemail treats the updated newsletter issue differently? I haven't got a clue what is going on. Any ideas? Best, Toon

Image processing
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Little bit of a strange request here. I have a customer (with a very limited budget, of course) who wants to combine several images into a single one, for display in a View Slideshow. An old version of MS Office had a Photo Editor that would allow me to sort of do that, but that was a few disk crashes back. I certainly can't afford Adobe Photoshop, which would probably be overkill, and probably out of his budget too. Does anyone know of any free tools (installed or on the web) that can be used to stitch together more than one image into a single one?

Hello All, I have come across E-Mail Marketing Framework module that provides support services with few email programs like Mailchimp and Interspire. However, the versions are up to D6. I am not sure if anyone has done development work on integrating Interspire and providing support with D7 version of E-Mail Marketing Framework. Can someone kindly point out any work in progress in this regards or provide me assistance in development? Many thanks and regards, Quaid J. Surti
