Hide Login

I was going to be creating a small business web-site for my brother, and I was going to use SiteGround for my Drupal/web-hosting site. I do currently use them for one other non-profit Drupal 5.x site. So, since we may want to expand this site to include email, and e-commerence, etc, I thought SiteGround might be the place to do it. If anyone can suggest another site that offers such features for a small-business Drupal based site, please let me know. Secondly .. one I get Drupal on this new hosting site (SiteGround or any other), it will be mostly anonymous users, so I may not have much use for the login except for some admins. I am pretty sure I can keep a login button on the main site, or somewhere, and for the most part keep it hidden for 99.999% of the visitors there. Can someone let me know if this is correct or incorrect? Thanks. Tom

schema API -- why isn't my table being created?
by Roy Smith 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Environment: Drupal 6.3 MySQL 5.0.51b PHP 5.2.6 schema-6.x-1.3 I'm trying to use the schema API, but can't get it to create my table in the database. The module I'm developing is called "regatta". This is a new module from scratch, not an upgrade. I've created a regatta.install file (included below). When I go to /admin/build/schema, it says that the boat table in the regatta module is missing. There are 46 Match (all the normal core tables), zero Mismatch, and zero Extra. Under /admin/build/schema/ describe, it lists "boat (regatta module)", and describes it correctly. I've gone through several cycles of enabling and disabling regatta, and ran update.php. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? <?php // -*- mode: php; -*- function regatta_schema() { $schema['boat'] = array( 'description' => t('A boat'), 'fields' => array( 'id' => array( 'description' => t('The primary identifier for a boat.'), 'type' => 'serial', 'unsigned' => TRUE, 'not null' => TRUE ), 'sail_number' => array( 'description' => t('Sail number, optionally including country id'), 'type' => 'varchar', 'not null' => TRUE, 'length' => 10, 'default' => '' ), 'boat_name' => array( 'description' => t('Boat name'), 'type' => 'varchar', 'not null' => TRUE, 'length' => 24, 'default' => '' ), 'skipper_name' => array( 'description' => t('Skipper name'), 'type' => 'varchar', 'not null' => TRUE, 'length' => 24, 'default' => '' ), ), 'primary key' => array('id'), ); return $schema; } function regatta_install() { drupal_install_schema('regatta'); } function regatta_uninstall() { drupal_uninstall_schema('regatta'); } ---------------- Roy Smith roy(a)panix.com

jQuery/JSON automated page refresh, check box update and variable set
by Jensen Somers 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hello, I am developing a module (Drupal 6.4) which shows a list of online servers. The list is refreshed each X seconds. I used the book "Learning Drupal 6 Module Development" and inside I found the perfect trick. I created an empty page which contains 2 blocks. Block A: contains the server list and using JSON/jQuery it gets refreshed each X seconds. Block B: contains a form with 3 check boxes. So far I am only using block A and everything works as expected. The server list is shown and gets refreshed each X seconds. The goal is to allow the check boxes in Block B to control which type of online servers are listed. For this I needed something like on-toggle -> set variable. I don't want to use any real submit form stuff but the status the check box should change and I should be able to perform a variable_set(). Thanks to someone on the Drupal IRC channels I got the following piece of code: $('input[@type=checkbox]').click(function() { $.ajax({ type:'POST', data:{val:$(this).attr('checked')}, url: 'path_to_a_drupal_menu_item', dataType: "json", success:function(json) { alert(json.result); } }); }); I am not sure however how this works. I assume I need to put it in my module's .js file and it will call the 'path_to_drupal_menu_item' but how is the result processed? Is it passed as an argument and can I fetch it and perform a variable_set() or does it simply update the page itself and changes the html element 'checked' of the check box? Any help and/or pointers towards a correct solution are greatly appreciated. - Jensen

Node url path settings, automatic aliases, and pathauto
by Luke 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello When creating a new node, I run into this: URL path settings [39][ ] Automatic alias An alias will be generated for you. If you wish to create your own alias below, untick this option. I am creating a lot of nodes where I want single element path names. For example, "www.newlifehv.org/children". So when creating the node, I uncheck that box, and fill in "children" in the following field, and all works as one would expect. However, when editing that same node later, the box is automatically checked again. I already have an alias (which is shown in the "path" text field), so why would I want it to generate one? I always untick that box before submitting, but (1) why is it automatically checked; and (2) what is the effect of leaving it checked when I submit, if I already have an alias in the path field? I intend later to have unreliable users working with nodes, and while permissions will probably prevent them from touching pathauto options, I would like to preemptively resolve potential headaches. Thanks and regards, Luke

Theme Override Erratic
by Fred Jones 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

I have a simple theme override function in template.php: function phptemplate_search_block_form($form) { $form['submit']['#theme'] = 'button'; $form['submit']['#button_type'] = 'image'; $form['submit']['#attributes'] = array( 'src' => base_path() . path_to_theme() . '/images/search.jpg', 'alt' => t('Search'), ); return '<div class="container-inline">'. drupal_render($form) .'</div>'; } and on most pages this works fine. On some pages, however, it seems not to be used and the Search button is a regular HTML submit button. I find that a bit perplexing. I go to a URL which is a View and it's fine. I go to another page which is also a View and the theme function is not used. Any ideas what might be causing this? Using D5.9 (upgrading very soon to D5.10) Thanks

A list of available paid Drupal support packages for Drupal.org
by Kieran Lal 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hi, there a few companies that offer support for Drupal but they are not mentioned at http://drupal.org/support. I would like to add a section for paid support, which is different than the section on "Professional services and hosting" that is currently list on the page. SpikeSource used to offer support for Drupal in their environment, but it's hard to find on their site now. Bryght has recently relaunched their hosting services: http://support.bryght.com/ OpenLogic is offering support packages: https://olex.openlogic.com/packages/drupal Growing Venture Solutions (Greg Knaddision) offers support packages: http://growingventuresolutions.com/about/services/drupal-support-and-traini… OpenConcept also offers support: http://openconcept.ca/drupal_support A lot of companies offer support as part of a site development package. I think this is different, as you have to have a big initial capital commitent to having a particular company build your site, but I would like to hear your thoughts about whether Drupal consulting is considered support. For example: http://imagexmedia.com/support/purchasing-support-training If you are aware of support packages for Drupal, or if you offer them, please respond so we can get a full list of options available to Drupal users. I've also cross posted to the post-installation support forum here: http://drupal.org/node/298497 Cheers, Kieran -- Drupal community adventure guide, Acquia Inc. Drupal events, Drupal.org re-design

Question about iFrames
by Daniel Carrera 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, This is an HTML question. I installed the Moodle integration module. It puts Moodle inside an <iframe> in a Drupal page. So far so good. The problem is when you click on a link inside Moodle (iframe). I always thought that clicking on a link inside an iframe would only change the contents of the iframe. But this is not what always happens. Some times the entire browser page refreshes, taking you out of Drupal, to Moodle, and breaking the illusion that Moodle is inside Drupal. What is especially disconcerting is that this happens on some pages but not others. So it creates a weird kind of unpredictability that I'm sure will annoy users. I cannot see any obvious reason why there is a difference. The links that produce different results don't look all that different. They are all on the same domain, of the form http://foo.org/moodle/<something>. Does anyone know what can cause this behaviour? I need to understand the root cause at the HTML level before I can figure out if there is something I can change at either Moodle or Drupal to correct the problem. Thanks for the help. Daniel.
