Using Taxonomy to filter topics / categories
by Geoff D 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, I've just done a Drupal search on Taxonomy and was very surprised to come up with many modules related to this. I was wondering if it is possible to build a web site or blog with taxonomy so that logged in users can configure what topics they see and hide what they don't want to see. For example, if I had a web site with sport categories 1) Football 2) Basketball 3) Athletics etc, etc, if I wanted to, I would only see the posts on 1 & 2 and not 3 if that is all I subscribed too? Can this be easily done? Thanks Geoff

hook_menu problem
by Hans Langouche 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, I'm running into a problem with the menu system. I have a 'project' content type that has a couple of child links to show either some cck field of that node or some embedded views with related content (but I think that what happens on those child paths is not relevant). The problem I have is that these child paths often show the content of the parent (node) path instead of the content it's supposed to show (this will go away after clearing cache, but comes back again). Below is how I add the paths to the system, nodeapi then also adds aliases for each of those links (based on the alias of the parent link). Note that this problem also occurs when I visit the link with their real path (e.g. node/x/more, so I guess the alias system is also not the cause). Originally I didn't add in the file and file path (as the hook_menu call is in the same module as the page callback's), I added it in tho try to solve this cache (?) problem. Any suggestions or tips are appreciated :-) Hans if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && !arg(3)) { $_node = node_load(arg(1)); if ($_node->type == 'project') { $items = array(); $items['node/%node/more'] = array( 'title callback' => 'projecttabs_title', 'title arguments' => array(1, t('more')), 'page callback' => 'projecttabs_tabs_more', 'page arguments' => array(1), 'file' => 'projecttabs.module', 'file path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'projecttabs'), 'access arguments' => array('access content'), 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, );

View stopped working....
by Idan Arbel 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello, I have a very strange problem on a live site, all views that display content types other than "page" return nothing. The site has been working great for about a year, today I deleted a page node, change a filter in a view and change a filter in a block and then the client reported that none of the views work. After checking and trying to fix, I can't get a view to return nodes that aren't "page". I created a new view, with just one filter according to node type. Set it to just page, returns great. Set it to all except "page" and nothing. What can cause this? This is pretty urgent. Thanks Idan

private download method, web accessible directory?
by Luke 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello For the convenience and portability of one of our less savvy clients, I would like to keep everything under the web root. >From the configuration pages for the filesystem, there is this standard verbiage: A file system path where the files will be stored. This directory must exist and be writable by Drupal. If the download method is set to public, this directory must be relative to the Drupal installation directory and be accessible over the web. If the download method is set to private, this directory should not be accessible over the web. I am wondering if I should expect problems, if I set the method to private, but leave the directory as "sites/default/files". In that directory, I can place an .htaccess file which denies from all, or maybe redirects to the homepage or something. Does anyone foresee any difficulties with this method? Thanks Luke

[Fwd: Re: hook_form_alter() data changed in array but not on screen]
by Steve Edwards 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Now I'm running into this problem on a different site. My module where hook_form_alter() has a weight of 999, so there should be nothing overriding it in the system table. In this case I'm just trying to modify the value of the #weight property for the form buttons. If I display the values in $form using dsm() after making the changes, the changed values are there, but they are not rendered on the screen. Any other ideas? I'm starting to pull out what's left of my hair. Thanks.

Twitter module
by Stuart Lawler 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi, I'm having problems getting the Twitter module to work on my installation on Drupal 6. I've installed the module, have enabled it, configured it and added my own twitter account under my account settings. I am the only account on the site and I'd like my updates to be available to people who visit the site but don't log in. I don't see anywhere under block administration where the Twitter block exists, nor can I see the twitter updates coming through on my site. Is there modules that Twitter depends on that maybe I don't have installed? Regards, Stuart.

Birthday calendar?
by Edsko de Vries 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi, Suppose we have a content type describing students; I've used the 'Title' field as the student's name, and added (amongst other fields) a CCK date field with the students date of birth. Now I wanted to do something simple (or so I thought): show the birthdays using the calendar module. However, there is an obvious problem: the date of birth, say, 5-6-1978, should be shown on 5-6-2009 (and again on 5-6-2010, ..); that is, the year component of the date should be ignored. I tried: - A CCK computed field "next birthday"; might be workable, but to be usable in the calendar view it must be stored in the database, which means it's not actually computed on the fly (all 'student' nodes must be edited and saved again next year). Not great. - A Views 'custom field' allows to do on-the-fly computations for Views fields, which seems perfect; but unfortunately these cannot be used as the Argument to the view. Now I could of course write a custom module, but I was really hoping to avoid that. Any suggestions? Thanks, Edsko
