1. Drupal 5 doesn't play nice with Firefox's Web developer plugin. The CSS files doesn't appear in the web dev panel when I choose "edit CSS". Does anybody else have this problem? I am running Firefox 1.5+ 2. Whenever I change a menu --whether by adding or disabling a link-- the change is not reflected in the menu, no matter what I do (empty browser and/or DB cache). Any thoughts? Liza Sabater, Publisher www.culturekitchen.com www.dailygotham.com TEL - 212.254.1740 MOB - 646.552.7365 AIM - cultkitdiva SKYPE - lizasabater

View : Categories and Subcategories
by Abhinav Jain 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi I read this article :- http://drupal.org/node/60530 and was able to follow it (using CCK and drupal 5.0). However I was unable to understand how to use it to do something like :- I have the categories / Subcategories as :- BOOK - Fiction - Non Fiction - Children - Programming CD - Movie - Educational Now while creating a view , how can I create 2 drop down lists, on one if I select BOOK the second should have the options as Fiction .... and if I select CD in the first drop down box , the second drop down should contain Movie etc ... I am using CCK to create my node types. (Basically I want to select the category from one drop down box and the subcategory from the other drop down list) Thanks and Regards Abhinav Drupal : Level : Novice

view module stop my drupal working
by Guillermo Garron 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Hi, I have installed view module on my 5.1 drupal, but i made a mistake and turn on the first and last module which deppends on the first one, after that my drupal stop working, I just got ZERO SIZE replies, so i erased the view directory from /var/www/mysite/sites/all/modules/ directory It start working again, anyway i want to have it working, so i think i first need to uninstall it, and install it again. I gess that when i enable one module, somewhere in the files or in the database (i think on the database because i could not found anything in the files settings.php for example) there should be a logic field with 1 if enabled and 0 if disabled, I am sure i have view enabled right but because I erased the directory it is working as soon as i copy it again, all stop working again. Can anybody please tell me where to disable it manually? thanks -- Guillermo Garron "Linux IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are."

Event calendar category view

Hello, I've looked all over online, and I just can't seem to find out how to do this. I know it's got to be easy. I've got a drupal 5.1 site, and I'm trying to create a view that displays only a specific category of events on the calendar. Is this possible? If so, how? - jody

Theming specific node (content) types
by Abhinav Jain 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hi This is reference to http://drupal.org/node/17565 I am using a new template file for a new content type I made using CCK. How can I access the individual fields that I created, in the template file ? I tried this :- <?php print serialize($node->field_idnumber)?> (field_idnumber was the field that I added) and the output I got looked something like :- a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"value";s:6:"123123";s:4:"view";s:6:"123123";}} Now how can extract the data i.e 123123 from this ? The article mentioned above, says that probably a php code is needed for this ? Can't it be accessed in way similar to title i.e $node->title PS : I did tried this :- $node->field_idnumber->value but this doesn't seem to work Thanks and Regards Abhinav Jain

Re: [support] CCK/nodereference/Views - Block of referenced nodes?

Okay, that makes more sense, but I think I'm getting confused with the views.module terminology and where exactly I'm supposed to be filtering the nodereference field. This is what I have now (with some inline comments as to my understanding): # Block Provides Block View Type: List View Nodes per Block: 10 (usually there are only 3-5 referenced nodes, but I want to have some headroom for expansion) # Fields Node: Title, as link (this is what I want the block to display right?) # Arguments Node Reference: Related Articles, Display All Values (take the argument from the handling code and apply it to these values) # Argument Handling Code if ($type == 'block' && arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) { $currentnode = arg(1); } return $currentnode; # Filters Node: Distinct is distinct (in case there are less than 10 entries I only want one of each) Node: Type Is One Of 'Article' (not entirely sure I need this as shouldn't the argument handling code only return articles anyway?) This view now returns 10 articles, but only 2 of them are actually referenced by the current article, which seems to be happening through luck rather than any determination on my part *:).

CCK/nodereference/Views - Block of referenced nodes?
by Garrett Coakley 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hi, I'm building a site (Drupal5.1) that contains a CCK content type for articles. The article type has a nodereference field attached so that authors can generate a list of related articles ("If you like this article you might also like..." functionality.). I've been able to build a custom function that displays a list of the related nodes at the end of the article by doing: # template.php function display_related_articles($node) { if ($node->field_related_articles['0']['view'] != '') { return _phptemplate_callback('box_related_articles', array ('node' => $node)); } } # box_related_articles.tpl.php <ul> <?php foreach ($node->field_related_articles as $related) { ?> <li><?php print $related['view']; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul> I'd now like to replicate this same functionality into a sidebar block, but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. Using the views module I've generated a custom block using the "Arguments" system to do the following: # Argument Type Node Reference: Related Articles - Display All Values # Argument Code if ($type == 'block' && arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) { $currentnode = arg(1); $query = db_query("SELECT field_related_articles_nid FROM content_field_related_articles WHERE nid = %d ORDER BY field_related_articles_nid ASC", $currentnode); $args = array(); while ($result = db_fetch_object($query)) { $args[] = $result->field_related_articles_nid; } } return $args; This works to a certain degree, but it's showing some odd quirks. The test node I'm using references 6 other articles, but the block is displaying 7 entries: 5 of the referenced articles, 1 seemingly random article, and a link back to the article currently being displayed. I have a feeling I'm being dense and missing something supremely simple here, but I can't for the life of me work out what it is. I've poured over the docs on drupal.org and although I've found lots of explanations on how to display reverse references ("List all the nodes that reference this one") I can't seem to find a solution for this, what I originally thought was simple, use case. This site is currently under development so I can't point you towards a URL, but if anyone wants to see an export of the view then I could stick it up on pastebin. Thanks in advance.

creating forums with drupal_execute
by Stefan Borchert 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hi. I'm trying to import forum data from fud to drupal. Creating the containers is done very easy but if I want to create the forums within these containers it fails: <code> $containers = _fud_get_categories(); foreach ($containers as $data) { $values['name'] = utf8_encode($data->name); {...} // this works: drupal_execute('forum_form_container', $values); // get new tid from database... $tid = {...} $forums = _fud_get_forums($data->id); foreach ($forums as $forum) { $values['name'] = utf8_encode($forum->name); {...} $values['parent'][0] = array($tid => $tid); drupal_execute('forum_form_forum', $values); } } </code> The second drupal_execute runs into an error: "An illegal choice has been detected. ..." (form.inc: function _form_validate(); #555). I know why this error appears but I don't know how to solve it: if you create a forum (admin/content/forum/add/forum) the list of parents is build by using taxonomy_get_tree(). After creating a forum container with drupal_execute the tree isn't updated (static variable in taxonomy_get_tree()) so the new container isn't available in the parent list and the "illegal choice" error is thrown. Is there a way how to update the tree? Or clear the static variable (static $children) in taxonomy_get_tree()? Or is it possible to set $form['#DANGEROUS_SKIP_CHECK'] with drupal_execute() (if set the options wont be checked)? I tried but couldn't get it work. (The other option is to create the containers first, create a mapping array (old id from fud => new tid in drupal) and then create the forums. But this would be the last option.) greetings, Stefan

Using different themes for normal users and admin
by Neil: esl-lounge.com 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

I have had a customised theme made which relies basically on 3-4 tabs at the top of the page. The problem is, I don't know how to organise things on the admin side. I would like to use a standard theme like Garland for the admin side but wouldn't there still be a problem of where the admin menu links go? The new customised theme will not have a left side menu....only the tabs I mentioned. Is it therefore possible to use Garland for admins WITH a side menu or does a menu have to be in the same place for all themes? What do other people do to have different themes showing to their members and themselves? I know you can alter the admin theme - it's just this issue of menus that has foxed me. Neil
