L18N Node kills Frontpage
by A-NO-NE Music 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I need to do a quick demo site for a client. I am only a 2 day old Drupal user, and I am not really a programmer either. I tried to go through all the documentations and articles last 2 days but they are just overwhelming, and English isn't my native language - my excuses :-) Immediate problem: As soon as I turn Localization node module, frontpage disappears and the generic default page, the introduction page replaces it. I have Config > Default Page by node ID as well as other "promote to frontpage" functions but to no avail. As soon as I disable the L18N node module, my front page shows up as expected. P.S. Question - I need to make a switcher to switch between English and Japanese a la Joomla!. So far the L18N module documentation isn't clear how I should proceed, or I should say the documentation isn't clear how I should plan the data structure for L18N to begin with. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com>

forum stats
by Morten Holmstrup 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hi, I'm trying to put together a block that shows "forum statistics" like the ones that typically come with phpbb forums and so on. You know, things like "currently active users", "number of threads", "number of posts". Now, I think I have most of them down now - using a few snippets here and there - but I'm still missing a way to display the complete number of posts in the forums. The trouble is that replies are in reality comments, and how do you count the comments that are restricted to the forums? This is a small feature, I admit, but I'm weird that way ;) Please correct me, if I'm way off - this is my first site with Drupal (ammenet.dk). Anyone know, how to accomplish this or just point me in the right direction? (I tried the drupal.org forums, but haven't gotten any replies yet, so I thought I'd try here) thanks! Morten

over-riding Garland's list item bullet points.
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

This is something I have always found frustrating. When I create a block (or even standard node content) with the following code: <ul list-style-type:none> <li>Title</li> <li>Created</li> <li># Comments</li> </ul> I still get the little white discs, which I think are graphics. If I use display:inline, it stays as a list with white discs. If I use background-image:none, it stays as a list with white discs. If I use list-style-image:none, it stays as a list with white discs. I was under the impression that inline CSS took precedence over linked or embedded CSS so why is the default Garland CSS seemingly an immovable object?

How to achieve this? A newsletter module? RSS feeds? 3rd party script.
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

I am looking for some pointers towards setting up a complicated content-mailing function on my site. Each node on the site will be attached to a State-level geographical entity. (Iowa, Arizona, Manitoba, Tasmania, Cornwall, etc, etc) I want to give my members the possibility of signing up and receiving daily, weekly, bi-weekly updates of all the latest content for each State. Ideally, this would be mailed to them, although if they were mailed only a URL, that too would be acceptable. Each "newsletter" would include a paragraph or two of general site news followed by the content that is only relevant to that person choice of State: - latest blog entries from Texas - latest Texas forum posts - latest new members from Texas and so on. I've had a couple of suggestions about which direction I could go to find this functionality...phpList and use of RSS feeds being mailed to members were two of the recommendations. Are there any current 5.1 modules that could get close to what I'm looking for or am I going to have to get realistic with my wishes? :-) Anyway, I put it to the mailing list and would like to see what a bit of brainstorming might do. Regards Neil

I suspect the reason is that the tag has the style overrides, so a CSS change may be the way to go. ... unless you can use the "full html" input filter to edit the node. Just speculating here. ICBW.

Adding attributes to forms (exposed filters) in a page view
by Abhinav Jain 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Hi I have been banging my head on this problem for quite some time now and really cant get anywhere close I want to add some error checking code to the exposed filters in the page view. For this I want to access the DOM of the output of the views_build_view call . So that I can add javascript events to the elements of the forms etc . How can I do this ??? In terms of drupal I think this will boil down to something like accessing the form array (Form API) of the form the exposed filters in a view create (My guess - adding an attribute here can help get a onclick event on the submit button of the form for example). Any pointers would be really helpful. Regards Abhinav

automatic creation of nodeprofile to go with the automatically created usernode?
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I am using the following modules: nodeprofile usernode path auto Me aliases When a user signs up, a usernode is automatically created and using path auto/me aliases, this can be accessed using personal/me. In the menu, I also have a link to profile/me which is the correct URL for a user's nodeprofile...but only once it's been created. If a user clicks on that just after signing up, they get a 404. What's the best way around this? I know I can send a link in the confirmation e-mail to "node/add/nodeprofile" but there's no guarantee they'll click on it. If I have a hard-coded link to "node/add/nodeprofile", it will get in the way once a user has created a profile. possible solutions? 1. show menu link "Create Profile" only to those without a profile. How would I implement this? 2. Is there a way for an empty nodeprofile to be created at the same time as the usernode is created? 3. Can I use mysql triggers to, at least on the db side, insert an empty profile into the relevant table so that the profile at least exists once an account is created? Is there any other way around this issue? I know a lot of drupalers are using the nodeprofile/usernode combination so I'm sure this problem has been faced and resolved countless times. Thanks Neil

Re: [support] automatic creation of nodeprofile to go with the automatically created usernode?
by Michelle Cox 13 Apr '07

If you go to "/nodefamily/CONTENT-TYPE-FOR-NODEPROFILE" it will either create or edit the node so it doesn't matter if it exists or not.

help needed in configuring Blog or View module
by Daniel 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi! Here is a little problem I have: I want the Blog additions to include the "Attach file" option only if the user is part of a specified role. I don't want regular registered users to be able to attach files, but I want to allow users part of the "Editors" role to be able to attach. I thought I would make this work by adding a content-type like "editors_blog", and then make a menu item for a view page (View module) which displays the "editors_blog"'s contents. But I can't make this work per user; ie. now I can get all of the entries in the "editors_blog" content-type, but can not make this work like the original Blog module, which groups the Blog entries by usernames. If anyone knows a solution for this, please share it with me :) Thanks! Daniel

Translating strings added using ConTemplate
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I am playing around with ConTemplate and am very pleased with the way you can insert a whole host of php variables. I have the following in one of my node types: <div style="background-color:#efefef;width:200px;height:30px;border:3px outset silver;font-size:1.1em;list-style-type:none;"> <a href="profile/<?php print $node->user->uid ?>">My Profile</a> </div> and it does indeed provide a link to the user's Profile page. As I have a multi-lingual site, I need to now be able to translate that "My Profile" string. I can't find it under Localization/Manage Strings. I know that in standard module scripts, you only need to wrap the string in t() to be able to manage and translate that string using Localization. So, in short, how can text I add using ConTemplate be made into a translatable string? Does anyone have any experience of this? thanks Neil
