[drupal-support] Four base questions
by Tamir Khason 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Actually I have four base questions, I was unable to find answers to at drupal.org. I'm rather sure that there is a way to do it without additional module deleveopment. Maybe only small changes in current modules. Following: 1) How can I display list of users with certain role, e.g. http://mydrupal/roles/Whatever to show all users assigned to Whatever role, without writing additional module for this propose 2) How to display a couple of blogs together (as like as taxonomy /term1+term2+term3) 3) How to change comment display direction based on content type. e.g. I want in blog comments to be shown "From newest to oldest", but in forum module "From oldest to newest". I do not want to give users ability to change comment appearance with comment toolbar. This should be possible via PHPTemplate engine 4) How to use Search module from external module (e.g. I want to give ability to create and sign RSS feed of certain search results) Thank you -- Tamir -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

[drupal-support] Mailing list migration
by Dries Buytaert 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hello world, on Friday we plan to migrate the mailing lists from the old server to the new server. Because we need to update the DNS records there is likely to be a short downtime of the mailing lists. The migration/ downtime does not affect other services like the website itself, or the CVS repositories. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/ -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Hi, Tamir, 1. You don't have to write a module as it already exists. Doing it without a module would require some coding. Why do you want to do that if the module already exists? 'members' is what you're looking for. 2. There is a way, but I can't seem to find it right now. This is actually easy, so I am sure someone else can answer this for you. 3. I am not sure that it can be done, but if it is, it would be nice to know. 4. Not sure about this one. Let's see if someone else can help.

RE: [drupal-support] Background Color On BlueMarine
by Metzler, David 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Yes and no, The BlueMarine theme does not directly support multiple color schemes as some other themes such as Interlaced. But if you know a little CSS you can certainly modify the colors on the site by modifying the style.css on this theme. If you're using the default logo you'll also want to modify that logo.png file with some image editing software. If I'm reading the css/xml right, then the section of style css that modifies the heading background color is: #header { background-color: #69c; } All that being said, I'd recommend that you learn how to copy and rename a theme, or download and use the Theme Editor module to do that very thing. The theme editor module will let you edit directly the style.css file, and also will let you keep a "site specific" theme, in the event that you're hosting multiple drupal sites. More information can be found at the Xtemplate section of the Theme Developers Handbook at: http://drupal.org/node/6493 Dave -----Original Message----- From: drupal-support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:drupal-support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Rob Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 7:49 AM To: drupal-support(a)drupal.org Subject: [drupal-support] Background Color On BlueMarine Is there a way to change the background on BlueMarine to another color scheme such as Green, Red, etc?

[drupal-support] Problem with comment/reply subject
by Skip Taylor 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I've had a problem with one user that insists on using the greater than symbol to quote messages in replies to forum messages. A typical reply from them would be: somewordhere >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> quoting goes here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and so on. I indented that for clarity, he doesn't do that part. The net result is the subject line is blank on his reply/comment! I have it set so the reply subject should be automatic but it's coming out blank in Drupal. When you change your comment viewing options to flat unexpanded, the only thing that shows is "by thepersonthatwrotethis" and no subject at all. That makes me think it's null. Using Drupal 4.6.3 . I've searched Drupal.org <http://drupal.org/> with little success. I did see a similar issue posted back in April 2005 that had no answer to it. Any help appreciated.

[drupal-support] modules admin page not loading
by Jared 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I've run into an odd problem that I was unable to find an answer for. Today I did a clean Drupal 4.6.3 install. The server: Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 Apache 2.0.54 PHP 4.4.0 The Drupal install seems to be working, I can access every admin page, but when I click on the, "Modules" admin page (http:// server.com/?q=admin/modules) it doesn't load. Nothing shows up in the Apache logs, not even a GET request. Nothing shows up in the Drupal logs either. Under Firefox, there is no error message. Nothing happens, you just remain on the current page. Under Safari, I get the following error: Safari can't open the page. Safari can't open the page "http://server.com/?q=admin/modules". The error was: "lost network connection" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message. Under IE 6 on a XP machine, I get a page not found error, I think down below it said something about DNS. (I'm no longer near a Windows machine) I'm not having any problems with any other network connectivity (I've also tried from work and from home with the same result) I tried a clean install and had the same result. I then tried installing it on an old Ubuntu Warty machine running Apache 2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8 and the Modules item worked fine. I must be missing something obvious. Has anyone else run into this? Thanks, -jared -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

I had a similar situation once, and that was with the memory limit in PHP. See if it solves the problem if you increase the memory limit in php.ini.

[drupal-support] Multi-site's gaping security hole
by Steve Dondley 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

On a multi-site set up, it's a trivial matter for someone to create a node with some PHP code that takes a peak at another site's settings.php file. Example: <?php $file = file ( 'sites/example.com/settings.php' ); foreach ($file as $key => $line) { print $line; print "<br />"; } ?> What's the best practice for eliminating this problem? -- Dondley Communications http://www.dondleycommunications.com Communicate or Die: American Labor Unions and the Internet http://www.communicateordie.com
