Set per user/per role edit permission based on workflow state?
by toon severijns 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hello All, I am using the *Workflow* module to handle state flow of a certain content type i'm using: *projects*. Depending on the particular workflow state and the role of the user, the user should be granted (or revoked) *edit access*to the node. I passed on the option to use Rules as this is more for reactions on events, whereas i would need a general check on node workflow state to decide on user edit access. I found out about the *Permissions API* module which gives me the ability to *grant or revoke permissions programmatically* based on role of the user and workflow state of the node. I call the permissions grant/revoke functions in *mymodule_preprocess_node_project *in *template.php*. This seems to work. The only issue i am having is the "edit"* local tasks menu item*. This only seems to be set on the second page load. In other words, the local tasks menu seems to be built before my permissions API functions have taken effect on first page load. Any idea how i can solve this in a clean way? Best, Toon

how to make a taxonomy term be a menu item?
by adept techlists - kazar 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

If someone can just point me to a docs page that explains this clearly I'd appreciate it. This is for a volunteer project and i'm not posing as a drupal dev, i am just trying to get a site's features fleshed out (see www.microtopianyc.org) and am so far behind on my personal life I could jump. If there is no docs page on this, a short explanation would do and would save my day. Here goes: -- I am using Superfish menus (Danland theme). I have an Events menu item that has Upcoming Events and Past Events child menu items. -- I have created a vocab called Events with two terms: Upcoming Events and Past Events -- for each term I have specified a URL: upcoming events is at "events/upcoming" and past events term is at "events/past" -- i go into Menus and try adding a submenu under Events with the url "events/past" for past events, for example, and click add. But no menu item is created and no error is reported. HELP. What I'm trying to do is to display upcoming events under the Upcoming Events menu item, and to display past Events under the Past Events menu item. Upcoming events should be sorted in date order, Past Events should be sorted in descending date order. Since the Date module seems to be in bad shape (I tried using it but it blew up my sandbox and I got no response to the issue I posted) I will use the publication date as a fake way of sorting the events the way I want them. I tried using Views but it does not seem I can create a view for a specific term, only for a whole vocabulary not a specific *term*. I am quite savvy & techie, just not a drupal admin/dev! I just need to be told or shown once and i'll get it. Thanks in advance if anyone can bail me out here. kazar

moving site and retaining permission
by adept techlists - kazar 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

HI all -- I am singlehandedly building my first full-blown drupal site (using 7), rolling it out (for an art project that's already live), and testing additional modules and blocks etc. On the web server I have created a protected "sandbox" subdomain as my "test server". I am trying to find the easiest way to move the test files to the "production server" (i.e., out of the subdomain and into the TLD), and to move files back when I want to do more testing & development but using all the latest settings etc from the live site as my starting point. I have tried simple download/upload via ftp -- permissions all get screwed on the sites/defaults/files/xxx path I have tried gzip, download, upload tar -- the "sites" directory ends up empty it's a major drag to have to go into an ssh session to do chowns & chmods every time i move stuff back and forth. There must be an easier way. If the easier way involves straight CLI please be gentle, CLI still freaks me out thanks! kazar

Stumped on collapsed fieldsets
by Joel Willers 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Is there a simple way to collapse all fieldsets when another one opens? For some reason, I was thinking this was easy, but now I’m thinking I’ll have to write some specific jquery to do it, and I’m not exactly a whiz at jquery. Joel

breadcrumbs not showing parent
by Adam Denning 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

I have some nested basic pages, e.g. Company/Careers/Job Openings. Company has a parent of <Top Menu>. Careers has a parent of Company, and Job Openings has a parent of Careers. The hierarchy displays correctly in my Top Menu, and shows the proper parent/child when I click list links for Top Menu in admin/structure/menus/. But on the Job Openings page the breadcrumb just displays Home > Job Openings instead of Home > Careers > Job Openings. This doesn't seem to be a theme issue. Any ideas why the parent isn't displaying? Thanks, Adam

Installation Profile Question
by Fred Jones 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

I would like to make a custom installation profile for D7 and one item I want to set is the default time zone. I tried editing function standard_form_install_configure_form_alter on standard.profile to see how it works and I put there: print_r($form[);die; and it never dies. I tried making the one line there: $form['site_information']['site_name']['#default_value'] = 'XXXXX'; but that also doesn't seem to execute. Does anyone know why?

Relative References to CSS in Drupal 7
by Fred Jones 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Seems that by default references to CSS files in D7 are absolute, i.e. they include the domain name. Is there a way to make them all relative? I tried a few themes and I am looking for a setting, but I don't find anything. Thanks.

Re: [support] Integrating completely unrelated pages into Drupal
by DTH 21 Jun '11

It should work with javascript as normal (at least a quick test page did that included jquery from Google's CDN and then operating on the dom). You're right that drupal_http_request gets everything including any html, css etc and you're at the mercy of how well-formed they are. You could either create versions of the pages which just output the exact html you want (e.g. ignoring <html> and <head> tags) or you could manipulate it back in drupal (explode on "body>"?). You could optionally run it through something like HTML Purifier (can you run stuff functionally through Drupal's filters?) if you don't trust your content. Anyway - it was just a thought based on what could be a quick and dirty solution. > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:06:18 -0700 > From: "Metzler, David" <metzlerd(a)evergreen.edu> > Subject: Re: [support] Integrating completely unrelated pages into > Drupal > To: <support(a)drupal.org> > Message-ID: > <52177C930FA90F4D9888B0343FDB79FB0277E52D(a)birch.evergreen.edu> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > This is a clever idea, but be warned that the embedded javascript is not > likely to render or "include" properly, and unless you run this through > an html filter likely to cause malformed html.
