Re: [support] Multilingual site and menu

To answer the last paragraph in your email, have you tried creating different roles and using access control to limit access to forums? -Mahvash Message: 4 Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:53:14 +0200 From: Wouter Verhelst <w(a)uter.be> Subject: [support] Multilingual site and menu To: support(a)drupal.org Message-ID: <20070430115314.GA23985(a)grep.be> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, For the last two days, I've been trying to set up a site using drupal so that its contents is available in multiple languages. Translating nodes using the i18n module is, luckily, not that hard at all. But translating the menu is a different matter altogether. The i18n module comes with a file i18nmenu.module which translates the menu title properly. That works, but the only problem with that approach is that it does not translate whatever the menu item links to. As a result, I get horrible results such as the menu item linking to the Dutch node when the user is browsing the English version of the site... not very good. I've been trying to hack around this in various ways, but none of the solutions I've come up with is satisfactory. First, I tried creating one of those multilingual blocks that the i18n module provides. This works for the menu in the left or right column, but not for the 'primary links' system. So scratch that. Then, I tried creating URL aliases which would resolve to the right item, so that drupal would pick out the right node by itself. My first attempt involved creating something like 'taxonomy/term/1'; but that gave me teasers only, which wasn't appropriate. Besites, it had to link to a node rather than a list. So scratch that. I tried creating an alias to something like 'node/or/2,10', hoping that this would be a valid syntax. It turned out not to be. I tried creating a custom_url_rewrite function to return a different rewriting scheme based on 'global $locale'. That doesn't seem to work, since it breaks the URL rewriting stuff of the i18n module (which comes with its own custom_url_rewrite function). Every time I access a URL alias. I tried creating aliases through the browser interface of the form 'nl/about' and 'en/about', then linking to 'about' in the menu system. That works, but then the site doesn't grasp that 'en/about' is the same thing as 'about'. I'm out of ideas now. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Apart from that, I'm also looking for a module which would allow me to control access to forums in a more fine-grained manner; I would like to set up a public forum ('guestbook'), a private forum, and an even more private forum that's only available to people in a specific role, not just any authenticated user. That doesn't seem possible using the current system. I'm using Drupal 4.7.6, if that matters. -- Shaw's Principle: Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

Hi I'm trying to setup the PJIRC chat module in my Drupal 4.7 install, but no matter how I install it, the applet is not loading and I'm getting this error in the log: modules/pjirc/pjirc/irc/ParameterProvider.class not found. I have checked and the module files downloaded from drupal.org do not include the above file. Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any assistance -- Albert

Re: [support] CCK Question

That groups the fields into a fieldset. That's like a section that can be collapsed and expanded by the user. It's just a nice way to group similar fields.

Newbie question on concept
by A-NO-NE Music 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

This maybe a wrong question to this list, but hoping it is OK :-) I am supposed to do a demo site for a company. They have chosen Drupal for the platform after considering Joomla, which I did a demo site for them. I realized CMS is aimed at Blog users, and I am having tough time getting quick tutorials for commercial site where no Blog or News Feeds are needed. The reason for CMS needs are multiple Asian language support, archiving news releases and other documents, and ability to edit the contents by managers, not to mention needs for CSS2-clean. Is there any tutorial for commercial site design which skips all the needs for Blog? I haven't been able to find one so far. Drupal terminologies are more confusing than Joomla to me. Joomla offers manual which you can print, bind, and read even where you don't have the net access. I was hoping to find something like that for Drupal but to no avail. I did order the book from Packt but not sure when I receive it. Thank you for your time. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com>

27 Apr '07

Hi there, Well the subject line contains the question, but let me elaborate further: What modules would people out there recommend for setting up a podcast and feed that are relatively easy to use for a newbie to Drupal? Is podcasting functionality already built into Drupal 5 or is it something that could be enhansed with modules of some kind? /Krister

Drupal Credits
by Cyberswat 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

I'm about to launch a Drupal site that is a compilation of custom modules and themes the company that contracted me would like to provide as a service to other companies. In the footer of the site they would like to place something similar to "powered by such and such" with a link to their parent website where they can sell additional services. I mentioned to them that the wording should be more along the lines of "powered by such and such on Drupal" or something similar. They are perfectly fine with that but now we are curious what would be the correct way of referring to Drupal so that we are in line with the GPL. I'd be interested to know if there are any guidelines or thoughts out there that should be taken into consideration before this product is finalized. Thanks! -- Kevin Bridges http://www.kevinbridges.org/

Including text files in nodes.
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

I am looking for a way to include a text file, test.txt, into a node on creation. I have tried choosing Input Format as PHP and I put: <? include("test.txt"); ?> and got a large error: a.. warning: Unknown(test.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ntc69/public_html/includes/common.inc(1342) : eval()'d code on line 1. a.. warning: Unknown(test.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ntc69/public_html/includes/common.inc(1342) : eval()'d code on line 1. a.. warning: Unknown(test.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ntc69/public_html/includes/common.inc(1342) : eval()'d code on line 1. I also played around with virtual () with no luck. How can I include another file in a node? Has anyone had any luck doing this? Help appreciated. Neil
