Views2 - filter by "user ref field" = "current logged user"
by geniekids 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I have a cck where one of the field is the user referenced filed (of a particular role) - the filed name is kids_name In D5 i had a view where the filter was set to kids_name = is one of = "currently logged in user" This meant that when the user logged in - he or she could only see records pertaining to him or her (as the view filtered it matching the kids_name filed with currently logged in user field) Now i am in Drupal6.6 with Views2 and i can;t find a way to do it. If in filter i select the [content] = "kids_name" - then i only get the list of names to filter by - i do not get the option of filter by currently logged in user. I am sure this must be a simple thing to do - pl guide me how to? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Views2---filter-by-%22user-ref-field%22-%3D-%22curren… Sent from the Drupal - Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Paid for Memberships for Drupal 4.7
by Fred Jones 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I have someone with a 4.7 site. He wants to add to it paid-for memberships. I explained to him that were we to upgrade to D 5.x then that is already available in either ecommerce or ubercart--it's a snap. He claims that he invested a lot in custom development for 4.7 and doesn't have the budget right now to rebuild all of that. I am still trying to clarify what exactly IS this custom work, but in the event that there is a difficult path for him to upgrade right now, is there any way to do paid-for memberships in 4.7? I barely even have worked with 4.7. Thanks.

site down after i deactivated views via phpmyadmin
by jo 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

dear list, as i am quite new to mysql-issues and the database, i don't know how to put my site to life again.. as i had troubles with the installation of the views-module (all the other first 7 modules did install with no problems) i wanted to deactivate it. because i couldn't access my /admin/modules-frontend anymore, i used instructions on http://www.drupalcenter.de/handbuch/11551 (german language) to deactivate the views-module(s) in the database using phpmyadmin. (open phpmyadmin, select system, find the views-moulde-entries, deactivate it with setting status to 0) after that, the site is down completely (drupal error-site is showing "site down" 'because of technical issues - please check your database settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting provider's database server is running') so, what to do now? i already posted a forum-topic and followed the hint of one member with no results and even a complete confixx-restore with a backup of all files and the database i did one week ago when all was running well doesn't change anything. could it be, i should have taken the site down with my admin-frontend, before changing something in the database? thank you for reading anyhow :-jo

Help with implementing drupal for a large organization
by Tina Callahan 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I'm looking for any assistance, suggestions or contact information that might help me direct the implementation of Drupal as a University-wide web solution. Please read below to see more details about what I'm looking for. Any information would be greatly appreciated. _*About Us*_ The University of Delaware (UD), located in Newark, Delaware, is now committed to rolling out Drupal as the primary web solution for the entire University. We currently have 7 colleges, 50 research centers, 23 intercollegiate athletic programs, numerous student organizations, and a long list of units that currently manage their current static html sites. _*The Plan*_ We plan to offer drupal-based web hosting to any and all units, colleges, and organizations within the University community. Let's just say that we expect to run drupal as a multiple "multi-site" installs and are expecting 100+ sites. At this point the plan is to run a production box with a mirrored development box for site modifications. We are building the servers on the UNIX environment using Drupal 6. We need help in best practices for our user community. More explicitly: * We expect to set up a standard drupal install and add UD "vetted" modules. As new modules or updates become available, we expect that we will need to add these to the "core" set of modules that we will make available to all sites. (ie. sites/all/modules folder) Any suggestions on how to update modules and theme for a large number of sites? * To start with, we see three drupal core installs: the first for low-profile or non-aggressive site development, the second for moderate development, and the third for aggressive development. The thought behind this is to reduce the number of sites that we need to review for conflicts with newly added or modified modules. Any thoughts on this? * We are trying to develop a policy on user access to the file system. We understand that there are users that won't want access, but there will also be others that want to tweak modules and themeing directories. Are there any suggestions on best practices for allowing our users access to the files system? My systems folks do not want to have the nightmare of granting access, but as a developer myself, I think this is a must. * URL domains are also an issue. We have some sites that are subdomains (mysite.udel.edu) other sites are directory-based sites under the hosted domain (udel.edu/mysite) Udel.edu is running on another server. I feel confident that we can run the subdomains without much a problem, however, I am interested to see if there is a suggestion on what to do with the latter issue of udel.edu/mysite. I don't want to rewrite the URL or redirect. Any thoughts or comments on this? Please note, I recently joined the Drupal in Ed group and plan to submit these questions more explicitly to them. I am also aware of the case studies on http://groups.drupal.org/taxonomy/term/4339. Sorry for the length of the message, please contact me if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. Thanks! -Tina ********************************** Tina Callahan 014 Smith Hall, Newark, DE 19716 University of Delaware 302-831-1982 tina.callahan(a)udel.edu **********************************

Version confusion
by Bob Salsburg 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I am using Drupal 5.12. It is the version available on the Download page. Lately, I have seen reference to a 5.2 version at various places on the Drupal site. Is this a typo? Or are their updates that I am missing? Bob

logging using lynx browser
by Johnny Xiao 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

I am trying to log in my site using lynx text-based browser in some occasion. But it seems like not working for me. It stays at login page even my credentials are correct. I tried logging to drupal.org, it is working fine. I am wondering if there are any settings I need to configure. Because it is working fine on Drupal 5 based websites. I am currently on Drupal 6.6. Thanks.

Can't edit nodes (clicking 'save' just redisplays edit page)
by Bo Laurent 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

I am running a newly installed D6.6. Suddenly, and suddenly I can't edit any nodes. I am running as admin (user 1). When I click edit, I see the edit screen, but when I click save, the edit screen is merely redisplayed. I've tried disabling YUI wysiwyg editor, to no avail. I tried different browsers, to no avail. I tried logging out and back in, and I tried emptying the sessions table. I installed devel module, but still wasn't able to discern the cause of the problem. Any advice about what might be happening? Thanks, Bo

managing other users' profiles
by Christopher M. Jones 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

I am building an informational site with a community component. One of the components is a directory of service providers. We want it to work like this: We compile a list of service providers and enter them into the database. A service provider may request an account, at which time they are permitted to edit their record in the database. They should not be able to edit any other content but the specific record that belongs to them. This is how I set it up: I created a cck type for the record. Each service provider has an account on the system, to which they can request access. Then I used nodeprofile, pageroute, and registration account types to set up the permissions and the workflow. On the whole, everything seems to function as expected. When someone registers for an account, they are passed along to their account, where they have a link allowing them to create their profile. If their profile already was created for them, then they can edit it. The problem is, I want users in an 'editor' role to be able to create these profiles and assign them to users. But I don't want "Create your..." links to show up in their account. That is to say, I have to give the editor create and edit permission on the profile type, but I don't want the editor to be able to create a node of this type for themselves. I'd be content just to have the link removed from their account page, but I don't see a way to do that -per role-. As it is, everyone with create permission on that type gets it listed in their account page. Is there some other way I should have gone about this?
