Symlink and installing Gallery in Drupal
by Bruce Whealton 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi all, It was my intention to install the Gallery module into a drupal site of mine. To do this, the application Gallery must be installed on my server. Ideally Drupal wants Gallery installed into the same directory as Drupal. I would be installing both using cPanel and Fantastico which won't let a new application be installed in a used directory for another application. I'm hoping someone has used this application in Drupal and may know a not so difficult way to get this installed. Let me past #1 in the installation instructions. I am hoping that this can be done somehow from ftp??? maybe? Actually the reference a symlink is something I don't get. Here's what it says, ->"1. Install Gallery 2 and Drupal (see their respective installation documents). Gallery2 should be *inside* your Drupal installation so that it's accessible by the same website. If you accidentally install Gallery somewhere else, you can create a symlink to it from inside your drupal site, eg: cd /var/www/drupal.site ln -s /path/to/gallery2 <<< I didn't accidentally install it outside Drupal, I will deliberately try to make it work (hopefully without too much confusion and too much effort) using the method described above. So, I'm not sure what I need to do and how I might accomplish these tasks. Anyone able to help? If I had a Gallery install could I still link that with Drupal or must it start off fresh when installing it for use with Drupal.

flexinode + i18n module
by VJ 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi, When I translate all the flexinode fields through localization, it shows up under add->content. For example : Author name shows up under /en/add/node/flexinode-1 and the corresponding spanish translation shows up under /es/add/node/flexinode-1 However, the node display always shows the fields in english..even if it was created through the spanish interface. Has anyone been able to come up with a solution where flexinodes are translated correctly? Thanks, VJ

Re: [support] Many strange problems on Drupal 4.7 Beta 4
by Kobus Myburgh 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi, I have tested on a brand new install of Beta 5, with NO other modules enabled, except recipe.module that I am busy porting, but I can't get it to work, and still getting an error, similar to the one below ("warning: array_merge_recursive(): Argument #2 is not an array in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\themers\470\modules\node.module on line 1699."), so, I am hereby basically saying that I am doing something wrong, but I have no idea what. I have even copied the form of one existing module and just renamed the fields and form details, but still not working. I am pretty clueless as to what I do wrong. I have followed the 4.6 - 4.7 conversion guidelines for the whole module conversion, which is the only thing I did different from previous times. Previous times when I created forms with the new API I just used existing modules to gather my ideas. Although I am not expecting anyone to fix this, I am attaching the module here for incase there is someone out there who wants to see this finished can see what I am doing wrong. I have changed a last minute few things around for debugging, but I have commented out my changes instead of deleting it so that you can see what I had before I changed things around. Regards, Kobus >>> ITBJDM(a)puknet.puk.ac.za 3/3/2006 8:44 AM >>> Hi, NOTE: Since typing this mail, I saw that Beta 5 has been released and will try that, but I would appreciate it if anyone can still tell me whether there is something wrong with my setup or my copy of Drupal, if it is obvious from the error messages below. === I am currently busy converting recipe.module to Drupal 4.7, and get this error after following the instructions on porting the module, when I want to submit a new recipe: warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\themers\470\modules\node.module on line 1635. Looking at that line in node.module shows me that is where it tries to get the form of the recipe module. I have double checked my form's code over and over and over, and can't find the problem, and even with the form code of an existing working module (which is not activated), the error still occurs. In another module I am writing (simple node module), I get this error: warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\progress\dini470\includes\ bootstrap.inc on line 552. Again, I thought it is something I do wrong. The error is in the module_view() function, which is just a bunch of $output .= "..." statements ending with "return $output;".Still didn't suspect that it was anything related to Drupal or my software as I am a novice coder afterall, but then I tried to change the password on the site, and when these errors occurred, I figured I possibly have a bug in Drupal or my underlying software (Apache2Triad), because I haven't modified any of the user module (or any core modules, for that matter): warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\progress\dini470\includes\form.inc on line 180. warning: Missing argument 1 for password_confirm_validate() in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\progress\dini470\includes\form.inc on line 595. Before I attempt to troubleshoot Apache2Triad (of which I have no clue where to start) I just thought I'd ask if there were known issues with Drupal 4.7 beta 4 that could cause these errors, as these errors started around the same time as I started upgrading all my development installations to beta 4, but also when I started using Apache2Triad on a freshly installed Windows XP box, so I can't single it out to one single event that could've caused the problems.

This is a fresh install of Apache2Traid on a fresh install of Windows XP. Any ideas, please? Thanks in advance! Kobus -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

edit taxonomy term by role or uid
by Alison 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Is there any way to limit who can edit or use in any way a specific taxonomy term by role or userid? I am going to be using a flexinode for content and want any authenticated user to be able to create content in it. I have multiple taxonomy terms attributed to it but there are some that I only want specific people to be able to edit or attribute to the node since it will be sensitive/controversial material.

PHP block snippet for account details
by Bruce Whealton 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

Hi, I created a block with the code that doesn't seem to be working but seems to give me the correct link anyway. I had a site of mine that was missing the link to my account. I could hard code in my own link and one for each user but that doesn't work, no one wants to see links to all the other users. So, I created a block that has a link that is of the form drupalpath/user/ where drupalinstall is the full path to my drupal installation. This gives the user page for whomever is logged in. When I'm logged in it goes to user/1/ when I log in another user that I created it goes to the other users page, e.g. user/2/ I was using the variable $userid which seems to get thrown away in my code or is this working? Is there a different variable I might want to use besides $userid Here's the code, which I hope will be obvious about where the error might be. <?php $output = ''; // single quotes $output .= '<a href='; $output .= '"user/'; // single quote with double quotes inside. $output .= $userid; // no quotes as I"m getting the $userid variable $output .= '">Account/Profile details</a>'; return $output; ?> If it just needs /user/ for the full path to any users account listing, then I don't need the php.

RE: [support] Drupal 4.7 modules
by Steven Peck 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

No. CVS is latest version of someone's work. It may be that the maintainer hasn't done anywork on the module towards updating it. It may be that they haven't committed any patches. If they haven't, then it will be the same code as the 4.6 branch. CVS modules are the CVS version of that specific module. It has no relation to the Drupal HEAD/CVS version. This is not a problem, this is an 'on purpose'. If a module has been branched for 4.7, then it should work or be a close facsimile of working. Many many many module owners are simply waiting until RC1 is released. While we want people to test test test and report back bugs and supply patches for CVS Drupal, it is still strongly advised to run the latest stable release specifically for these reasons. Lack of available modules, moving code and db schema target. Now, if you need a given contrib module, then feel free to update it if you can and submit a patch back to that modules project page. This may help get it updated faster. -sp ________________________________ From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org on behalf of Kobus Myburgh Sent: Mon 2/27/2006 5:08 AM To: drupal-support(a)drupal.org Subject: [support] Drupal 4.7 modules Hi, I seem to download a lot of modules marked module-cvs.tar.gz, but when I open them, it is still a module for Drupal 4.6. I think it might be my limited knowledge about these terminologies, so please correct me if I am wrong. isn't CVS supposed to indicate the latest version? Isn't a module that is marked as CVS supposed to work on Drupal CVS and hence also Drupal 4.7 Beta X? I currently find it very hard to find any useful modules for my sites, because of this problem. I recall something like this circulating on the list before, but I can't find that now. I also recall quite a nifty new UI for module downloads (which seemingly didn't work 100% correctly) but I am not sure if it was on the scratch page or the live page, and where to find it now, but that was indeed nice. Can someone shed some light on this for me, please? Regards, Kobus -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Hi, The only modules there that are not standard core modules are: 1. Recipe (the one I am busy porting) 2. Clothing (the one I am busy making) I have removed Clothing module when I got errors, and only had recipe left. I will go remove Recipe tonight and see if it still gives problems with password changes.

Yes, all the errors you describe are there , because *another* module sends incorrect information to core. Nothing wrong in core, most of the times.

Many strange problems on Drupal 4.7 Beta 4

Hi, NOTE: Since typing this mail, I saw that Beta 5 has been released and will try that, but I would appreciate it if anyone can still tell me whether there is something wrong with my setup or my copy of Drupal, if it is obvious from the error messages below. === I am currently busy converting recipe.module to Drupal 4.7, and get this error after following the instructions on porting the module, when I want to submit a new recipe: warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\sites\themers\470\modules\node.module on line 1635.

Active forum not showing

I just enabled the Forums module and for the life of me I cannot get the Active Forum Topics to show up in the right sidebar. Maybe its not supposed to? I'm using the Drupal 4.6.5, the Chameleon theme, and taxonomy_menu. Thanks - Tod

Porting from Static Menu to Taxonomy Question
by Tod Thomas 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I have just spent a week or so evaluating Drupal and find it to be a very mature, very comprehensive CMS. I want to port a static html web site over to Drupal and I'd like to do it in such a way that moving forward I can take advantage of the features that Drupal provides. One of the things I have been struggling with is what to with its current static navigation menu. I started by recreating that menu (list of single hyperlinks) using the core Drupal menu module. That works but I think as the site matures and I attract more viewers, and thereby over time more content, I'd probably want to go with the menu derived from a taxonomy. I tried replicating the menu with the taxonomy_menu module. I defined each category with one of the list menu items from above, defining no terms for now. I did this because over time I expect the taxonomy to fill out and as this happens I could add the appropriate terms as necessary. When I was all done I had my menu re-created but I had no way no associate a particular node with each item. Now I'm stuck. Should I expect this to work, or is the only purpose of a category to provide a link to select that will expand and display its associated, selectable term item? Thanks - Tod
