{system} cleanup
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Is there anything in the API to do some cleanup of {system} or if I'm lucky... some module to keep it clean during development. I'm developing several modules for the same project and during refactoring some disappear to appear with another name or it's code get split, merged etc... Something that will zap anything that's no more on the file system would come handy. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

404 or alias for menu hook
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

In a hierarchy of menu in admin/settings/mymodule made mainly by MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK and MENU_LOCAL_TASK I'd like that if anything deeper than: admin/settings/mymodule is rubbish it get a 404 or a redirect to admin/settings/mymodule eg. admin/settings/mymodule/ashasha or admin/settings/mymodule/somefunction/jajasha -> 404 but I get: warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /*/includes/menu.inc on line 415. warning: Missing argument 1 for drupal_get_form() in /*/includes/form.inc on line 49. warning: Missing argument 1 for drupal_retrieve_form() in /*/includes/form.inc on line 179. warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, '' was given in /*/includes/form.inc on line 218. hints? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Multiple DB connections within hook_cron
by Tane Piper 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

(apologies if you see this as a duplicate, I had signed up with the incorrect email and wasn't sure if it'd get through). Hi Folks, I'm developing a module at the moment that runs on a cron job. The task of the module at the moment is to get all the users from the drupal database, then connect to a EMS database and insert the users into this database. It allows the site to keep registered users and mailing list users in sync. At the moment, I have the two connection strings in the settings.php file: $db_url['ems'] = 'mysql://client_ems:client_ems@localhost/client_ems'; $db_url['default'] = 'mysql://client:client@localhost/client'; $db_prefix = array( 'default' => 'main_', 'ems' => 'ems_', ); Then within the module, I have my hook_cron function, at the moment it's just for debugging: function copycontacts_cron() { // First lets get our users $get_users_query = db_query("SELECT * FROM {users} WHERE STATUS = 1"); while ( $user[] = db_fetch_array($get_users_query) ) { echo '<xmp>'; print_r($user); echo '</xmp>'; } if (db_set_active('ems')) { echo 'DB Selected'; } $moo = db_query('SELECT * FROM {cron}'); while ($foo = db_fetch_array($moo)) { echo $foo; } db_set_active('default'); } The function gets as far as the DB Selected message, and then gives me this error: Warning: Table 'client_ems.main_system' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM main_system WHERE type = 'theme' in /path/to/client/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172 However I am not making this request, it seems to be coming from drupal somehow. Can anyone suggest what might be up?. -- Tane Piper Blog - http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk Wii: 4734 3486 7149 1830 This email is: [ ] blogable [ x ] ask first [ ] private

Authenticating Drupal login from different database
by Chris McCreery 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi I have a project of building a new section for an existing Coldfusion site. The would like users to only have to login to the cold fusion site but then also gain access to the drupal site so they don't need to login again. Just wondering if anyone has done this or what would be the best option. Thanks, -- Chris McCreery

Applying drupal access control to PDF documents.
by Roy Smith 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I've been using the Nodeaccess (5.x-1.x-dev) module to control access to a "members only" section of my web site. I want to put some PDF documents on the site, which will be subject to the same access control, but I don't see any way to do this. I can upload the PDFs to the files directory, and link to them from a protected page, but that doesn't really protect the PDFs. Anybody who could guess a URL would have unlimited access. I know I can add .htaccess protection at the apache level to the PDF's, but that means people need to authenticate twice (once to drupal, again to apache). And, managing two sets of accounts would be a nightmare. Is there some way to embed a PDF directly as a drupal node, so I can control access to it via the same mechanism as the rest of the site? -- roy(a)panix.com

Creating custom node type to serve an XML file?
by Kaj Kandler 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, I a have a few 1000 xml files that I want to integrate into Drupal. Can someone outline what kinds of things do I need to learn? Here are a few specific questions I have: * How do I import the documents into Drupal's DB? Is there an API or a description of the sql needed? * How do I publish those new documents back? I guess I need to create a new node type, but didn't find a good HowTo. Can I use XSLT transformations to render the content? Thanks for pointing me into the right directions?

Changing CSS does not affect display of calendar- CSS aggregation is off
by Nick Fankhauser 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi- I'm very new to drupal and my css knowledge is basic, but I think I've eliminated the obvious... I just installed the the modules required to display a calendar. When I look at the output, I've got a calendar but there are no borders between the days. My goal is a display similar to this: http://www.elderweb.com/demo/calendar But what I'm getting is this: http://www.fankhausers.com/dems/home/?q=calendar So... I looked in my sites/all/modules/calendar/directory and started changing the css to see if I could get borders around the "day cells". However, nothing I did seemed to change the display. When the borders didn't change, I tried some easier changes like setting all of the colors to red with no results. Then in desperation, I renamed calendar.css to calendar.sav and reloaded. Again, no change. It is as if the css that is actually being used is somewhere else or cached. I'm clearing the browser cache on my reloads. I've checked the performance management area to make sure css aggregation is disabled. When I look at the page source, it seems to be referring to the file I've been editing. The only thing I can see odd is that the css is included twice, and the path on one of the includes has a stray "./" in it, but I can't see how either would cause my problem. Here's the head section of the page: <head> <title>Calendar | Union County Democrats</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/dems/home/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/aggregator/aggregator.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/node/node.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/poll/poll.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/system/defaults.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/system/system.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/modules/user/user.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/./sites/all/modules/calendar/calendar.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/sites/all/modules/cck/content.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/sites/all/modules/date/date.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/sites/all/modules/calendar/calendar.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/themes/garland/style.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/dems/home/files/color/garland-7e265521/style.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="print">@import "/dems/home/themes/garland/print.css";</style>  </head> Any thoughts on what I should try next? -Nick

View of views
by Idan Arbel 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

Hello, Is it possible to create a view that will show other views? I have a content type "portfolio-item". I have a view with thumbnails of all the portfolio items of certain term, for example a page with thumbnails (in a gird) of all the "identity" portfolio items. There might be several pages of thumbnail for each term. I have another view that's a simple full node view of portfolio items, sorted by a term. I'd like the user to browse through each portfolio item, one by one. When he gets to the end of the all the items of a certain term, to have the next page be the thumbnail grid of the next term. After browser through all the thumbnail pages, he'll start viewing the nodes on by one of the 2nd term. I was thinking of creating a view for each section: full nodes of term A, thumbnails of term A, full nodes of term B etc. And then create another view that will run by all of these views.but I don't see how I can create a view of views. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Idan Arbel
