Such a thing has been in the slow works. There is hope that http://drupal.org/project/metrics may be installed on d.o. eventually. The implementation schedule is probably a question for the infrastructure list though. -Greg ________________________________ From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Edward Peters Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:48 AM To: support(a)drupal.org Subject: [support] Evaluating modules I am embarking on a major project for a global NGO (www.iofc.org), migrating their websites from a custom-built CMS into Drupal.

OG - Allowing non-members to see non-public posts
by Zohar Stolar 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I have a scenario where I'd like to limit posts visibility to group members only AND to a specific role as well. Using OG alone I can achieve the first goal - posts are not public by default and that settles it. Now I need to allow users of a specific role to see all posts, whether they're public or not, even if those users are not members of the group. I've tried og_user_role with ACL and content_access, but had no success.... Is there a module I missed that allows it? Or is it a configuration issue I'm missing? -- Zohar Stolar | זהר סטולר z.stolar(a)gmail.com <mailto:z.stolar@gmail.com>

Hello, I don't think this is a good idea. You should not think "Drupal.org does a bad job at organizing the info" but rhater ask yourself "why does the Drupal comm. not manage to get the module info organized". The answer, is amoungst others that contribs are highly dynamic. Each new release causes earthshattering shifts in the contribs which become popular used and which die. Even troughout a release cycle you see this. Continuïty is not something found in most of the contribs. This, however is a totally different discussion not to be confused with this thread :). The forums is really the place where you want to be. Drupal is before all, a community. Drupal is not a reference. Nor a book. It is not an ecyclopeadia, and also not a recipe book. You should rather learn to use that community to get to your information. In practice this means that you must lie around for weeks, if not longer and listen. Ask a question here and there, play with some of hte info you get, learn from that, and re-use that for more information. This, is my experience, works far better then hoping for some magical gnome to pop up and write down exactly, and only the specific parts, for your specific project. That won't happen. But the collaborative knowledge is out there: Its up to you to shape that knowledge into the information you need for your project. And yes, that requires *a big* lot of time.

Hiding nodes in long threads
by Adam Gaffin 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Some of our bloggers write really long posts. If those posts get a lot of comments, it can be a bit confusing to the user who clicks on the "next" link in the pager, because instead of more comments, he at first sees the long post, which he then has to know (or figure out) to scroll down beyond. To get around this, I put the following in our node.tpl.php to hide the node on page=2, 3, etc. <?php $blanknode = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; if ($node->nid){ if (stristr($blanknode, 'page')!== FALSE) {echo '<style> .node {display:none;}</style>';} ;} ?> What I know about good coding could fit in a thimble, however, so would there be a better way to do this? Thanks!

10 Oct '07

I have a brand new 5.2 install and I tried to install the Token module (http://drupal.org/project/token) and I get: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare token_install() (previously declared in /home/site/www/modules/token/token.install:5) in /home/site/www/sites/all/modules/token/token.install on line 4 I took the 'official' release of Token: 5.x-1.8. Any ideas?

You have token installed twice once at www/modules/ and once at www/sites/all/modules/. Delete whichever one is not the newest one that you downloaded. -Mike ------Original Message------ From: Fred Jones Sender: support-bounces(a)drupal.org To: support(a)drupal.org ReplyTo: support(a)drupal.org Sent: Oct 10, 2007 8:14 AM Subject: [support] Can't Install Token I have a brand new 5.2 install and I tried to install the Token module (http://drupal.org/project/token) and I get: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare token_install() (previously declared in /home/site/www/modules/token/token.install:5) in /home/site/www/sites/all/modules/token/token.install on line 4 I took the 'official' release of Token: 5.x-1.8.

small grant for expertfinder project!
by paola.dimaio＠gmail.com 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I have been awarded approx 5.000 usd research grant towards developing a 'person' interface (foaf like) for an expertfinder type application http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/~aleman/efw2007/items/maio.php I am thinking of creating a foaf compatible, extensible and adaptable 'expert person' like schema that can be plugged into 'any' open source cms, say drupal the prototype implementation that I have in mind to use this exension/module is here www.p2paid.org I know that 5 grands is not that much, but here in south east Asia, is can be significant amount of money I hope to use the money to produce something FOSS that can be installed and run as needed by any compatible , as well as spend the money to train someone locally (Chiang Rai/Chiang Mai) area to write xml, foaf, people schema etcetera. I obviously need some help and advice to make sure I dont waste this opportunity to do something useful, so anyone interested in helping out with good advice, guidelines, expertise, ideas - or if you simply know an excellent programmer in Asia who would be interested to develop the schema and get paid basic research rates by the hour, please let me know! How is the expertfinder spec coming along? do we have something to work with? Is someone from expertfinder team going to be at Busan Thanks a lot Paola Di Maio -- Paola Di Maio School of IT www.mfu.ac.th *********************************************

Good events calendar?
by Ari Davidow 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi, I am getting ready to move my events calendar from another application. Looking over discussions on google.org, it looks like my best bet would be to use the separate WebCalendar application, and then integrate that, rather than start from the "events" or "calendar" modules? What I am looking for is a way to let multiple users post events, globally, and to enable both export and import to as many formats as possible. In an ideal world, someone could subscribe to events in Boston, MA, and/or to events in category "workshop". I have a simple calendar of events now ( http://www.klezmershack.com/calendar/), but even if one ignores the template formatting which I haven't done, this particular system requires that =I= manually add all events, and becomes useless when I am not available. It seems especially critical to ensure that events can be exported to local PDAs, but also to appear in other calendar applications. The goal isn't necessarily to have people find out about an event at my website, but rather, to find out about the events that interest them where they look for events, and to be able to post information about their own relevant events (in this case, Jewish music and related Balkan, Middle Eastern, and other music). Thanks, ari

localization of currency, numbers etc...
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I've to localise numbers, currency and dates accordingly to the chosen language. At this moment chosen language is just the one a user define in the profile. Later it will be the one provided by the localisation (i18l or localizer [1]) module. If I had complete control I'd add a function that read the current user settings and format numbers, date and currency accordingly... I didn't see anything like that in the api docs. Do I really have to write such a beast? what would be the best place to put it so that is accessible from all over the site/modules/blocks? thx [1] What is the state of the art for localisation modules for 5.2? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
