[drupal-support] FLASH Header Help
by Cal Furber 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

I am currently using the BLIX theme. I have tried other themes but no luck. This is what I have done on the “page.tpl.php”: Original code: <div id="header"> <h1><a href="<?php print url() ?>" title="<?php print($site_name) ?>"><?php print($site_name) ?></a></h1> <div class="slogan"><?php print($site_slogan) ?></div> </div> Flash embedded: <div id="header"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca b#version=6,0,29,0" width="690" height="115"> <param name="movie" value="banner.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="Transparent" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <embed src="banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="690" height="115" wmode="Transparent" menu="false" scale="noscale"></embed> </object> </div> The “banner.swf” is in the Blix theme folder. I will use any theme in order to get to Flash play. Do I need a special module (ie; media module or banner module) to play the flash file? Do I need to specify the .swf as a node or do anything special with the .swf file? I would appreciate any working advice and I am sure other Drupal newbies would too.

[drupal-support] Help with Structure
by Christopher Taylor 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi, My name is Chris. I may have mentioned before that I am blind so I use speech to interact with the computer. I only mention this as I may have some poorly visually designed examples or content. I am working on an important project that I needed some possible help with. I am trying to build a news and community portal which can easily be set up with different cities like Craigslist. It will be community driven news and information content. So, I needed to get it set up as quickly as possible to keep the powers that be involved and interested. 1. Any suggestions on how to set it up would be greatly appreciated. 2. Here is the immediate head scratcher and situation. I am working with taxonomies. I have set up a General Category and a category for each community. Example content: 1. In the General Primary Catagory I have general news, business headlines, profiles, classifieds, comics. 2. For the purposes of testing, For community categories: I have A. New York City Issue 1 beginning 06-05-2005 issue 2 beginning 06-06-2005 issue 3 beginning 06-04-2005 B. Washington DC Issue 1 beginning 06-05-2005 issue 2 beginning 06-06-2005 issue 3 beginning 06-04-2005 C. LA Issue 1 beginning 06-05-2005 issue 2 beginning 06-06-2005 issue 3 beginning 06-04-2005 D. San Francisco Issue 1 beginning 06-05-2005 issue 2 beginning 06-06-2005 issue 3 beginning 06-04-2005 Now, I want to publish content in the gernal categories and then they will be related to the relevant community and issue date.Each time a new issue comes out, The editor for the community simply ads another term which a is the new issue for the content to be tracked in. A new issue would be issue 4 beginning 06-06-2005 It seems that it would works very well to allow people to search by topic or by community. The problem is, in the community category, the stories are organized in the order submitted not by the general category topics. In other words, General news, profiles, and other topics are all mixed up depending on when submitted. This doesn't make for a very organized publication in the Community categories. How can I do this? Is this a good approach? Is it better to have a different site for each community? I don't want to have to build all the topics repeatedly for each community and we want to quickly and easily ad communities. Regards

[drupal-support] MySQLi
by NSK 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

I have asked this before but no reply, so could someone have a look at it? I noticed Drupal 4.6.1 does not support MySQLi, the new MySQL client of PHP 5. It only supports the old deprecated MySQL client. Are you planning adding MySQLi support in future Drupal versions? I have already written some abstraction functions that dynamically detect which client is installed, and it's GPL. Perhaps you could take some code for a MySQLi-enabled Drupal version. PEAR also supports MySQLi. -- NSK http://portal.wikinerds.org

[drupal-support] $db_prefix = array();
by William Meertens 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hi all, As I'm building a multiple domain site with one database I was wondering which tables can be shared without problems. The background : - Each site has it's own content, menu and blocks - Each site statistics and, watchdog or related should be separated - All the rest can be the same if possible As an example, I was under the believe that I could share the users table. Since every site has the same users. Only the blocks table is connected in some way to the users table. In every documentation I always find this combination : $db_prefix = array( "default" => "content_only_", "users" => "master_", "sessions" => "master_", "role" => "master_", "authmap" => "master_", "sequences" => "master_" ); If doing that I can't change the blocks for each different site. When changing them for one site, they are changed for the other one to. And that's what's troubling me the most. Thank in advance, William. -- \|/ ____ \|/ _ _ ` _ ' //// @~/ ,. \~@ o' \,=./ `o - (_) - (o -) /_( \__/ )_\ (o o) ' ` +-----------ooO--(_)--Ooo-----\__U_/----ooO--(_)--Ooo------------------+ http://www.meewi.be SMILE http://www.ladiescycling.net it cost nothing and http://www.hostinglc.net it's beyond price ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[drupal-support] mass mailer says can't fine php executable even though it's in /usr/bin/
by Petre Scheie 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

I installed the mass mailer module, and can create messages, but no messages are being sent out. Looking in the message queue, I see "You do not have the php executable in your system path and it cannot be located in /usr/bin or usr/local/bin." But php IS in /usr/bin, with 755 for permissions. Why can't it see it? TIA. Petre Scheie

[drupal-support] table view of events runs off right side of screen
by Petre Scheie 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

I've got the Events module installed, and while it works, when I choose a the Table view of events, all the boxes run way off the right side of the screen. A slider bar appears at the bottom of the screen and I can slide it way over to the right and see the right side of the table. It doesn't seem to do this on the civicspace website (under crunchywelch's sandbox). Anyone know how to fix this? thanks. Petre

Re: [drupal-support] Deprecated function

Gerhard, After sending the mail, I found the solution for that specific error. I cast the second argument into an array, and that one went away, and the next similar error popped up. I fixed that, and the next one popped up, so this is going to be a hectic one to fix manually. 1. I can't upgrade this site to 4.6 as I have customized several modules something fierce, and didn't keep record of all the changes (silly me!) 2. I just switched hosters, can't switch again ;) 3. I asked my host to turn of the E_STRICT switch. I would rather go for option #3, as it is mostly disrupting the site's layout. I can't see other negative effects of this error. This might be a problem in the future, but then I will bug my hosts again ;) Sorry for sending this mail to the list so quickly - it was an impulse reaction, as my customer's site is/was looking icky, and I sorta panicked, as it is a pretty high traffic site as far as my customer sites go...

It is the first Drupal version to support PHP 5 - Change hosters or get them to run PHP 4.3. - Set Error Reporting such that those warnings aren't reported anymore. Read the PHP manual for this.

[drupal-support] Deprecated function
by Kobus Myburgh 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hi, I have a site based on Drupal 4.3, which I can not upgrade to 4.6 at this moment in time, because I have customized several modules to get the site they want it now. I have moved to a new web host today with this particular site, and I assume their PHP version is higher than the one installed at my old host, so, not sure how to overcome this problem. This host has created my account seemingly on a Windows server, although I was under the impression that I signed up for a Linux account (judged by the drive letter in the path...). I don't think that this matters though. I am merely mentioning this because I had to rename the .htaccess file for the site to load properly, and maybe the solution lies thereabouts... Do you guys have any suggestions for me, please? Regards, Kobus ============ : Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\Domains\transvalia.net\wwwroot\modules\system.module on line 282. warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in C:\Domains\transvalia\wwwroot\includes\module.inc on line 36.
