[drupal-support] textile 4.6 fails to convert -- to mdash?
by Cheryl Chase 26 May '05

26 May '05

It looks to me as if Textile is failing to convert a pair of dashes to an mdash entity. This worked for me in the past. I'm running: Drupal 4.6.0, 2005-04-15 // $Id: textile.module,v 1.16 2005/03/21 16:06:59 jhriggs Exp $ Cheryl

[drupal-support] Subject: Re: textile for book module printer-friendly display?
by Cheryl Chase 26 May '05

26 May '05

Reading your message, I updated to the latest version of book.module, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem for me. Here's what I'm running: Drupal 4.6.0, 2005-04-15 // $Id: textile.module,v 1.16 2005/03/21 16:06:59 jhriggs Exp $ // $Id: book.module,v 1.288.2.6 2005/05/23 20:46:33 dries Exp $ Is there something I need to do to get printer-friendly book page to be textiled? I have multiple input formats (though all nodes in the book in question are of a single format).

I have a book whose nodes use an input format that applies textile and doesn't require tags. The printer-friendly page doesn't apply textile. How to get it to do so? Cheryl

In the context of a bit of phptemplate, how can one access the current actual url? and also the underlying url, before a path alias is applied? Cheryl

Re: [drupal-support] Help to create a "special" user
by Cheryl Chase 24 May '05

There's no way to do this without modifying the core code. If you want to go that route, it's in user.module. However, you have complete control over the permissions for people who are not logged in (role "anonymous"). Why not just use that? Alternatively, you could use .htaccess to deny access to the site to anyone who doesn't have the username and password that you have assigned. They won't be able to edit the password, and you won't have to modify durpal core code. A simple google search ("htaccess tutorial") produces the following page, which should get you going: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/ Cheryl > I need to create a special role/user on my site. > > Basically I want the users to log in with an username and password > I provide > without registering new accounts.

[drupal-support] project.module in 4.6 workable?
by Cheryl Chase 24 May '05

24 May '05

I have a staging site running drupal 4.6, and would like to use the project module to organize tasks with the client. But I can't get it to work, and it seems others have had the same problem (/project displays a blank page). I installed the cvs project.module, since none was available in 4.6 release. Is there a way to make this work, or should I seek a different solution for time being? Cheryl

[drupal-support] IE css quirk with bluemarine derivative?
by Cheryl Chase 23 May '05

23 May '05

I'm working on a client site, using a custom phptemplate theme based on bluemarine. Bluemarine itself ALSO exhibits this quirk with my content. The site renders correctly in Firefox and Safari, and IE/Mac. With IE/Windows (6.0), the first line other than header element is (frequently) indented. http://schultzcollins.mathiastechnology.com/ FIrst UL item is indented http://schultzcollins.mathiastechnology.com/services/private First P element is indented. I've scratched my head over this to no avail. The xhtml validates (except for "there is no attribute "language" in event.module's javascript), and the css validates. There is no space or tab in the xhtml, when viewed with "View Source". The css is just slightly modified from bluemarine, and the html is all generated via textile. Does anyone understand what's causing one line of my text to be indented, only on the IE/Windows browser? Cheryl

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The new implementation has certainly been improved to represent parameters as a structured string. But during upgrade, my dimensions themselves were not upgraded, so that my textareas had no dimensions, nor were the dimensions editable. I rescued my existing forms by entering the required structured string directly, to the mysql shell. Cheryl

[drupal-support] help
by Christopher Taylor 23 May '05

Hello, Hope everybody is doing well. 1. I had a question about a funny message that is shoing up on the front page. No matter what we do, it won't go away. It just says "?q=node N/A" 2. I did a rather round about install procedure because I am not familiar with sql and since I am blind, my screen reader doesn't work all that great in certain places. My host provider has a script of 4.5.1 which they offer on the platform. They didn't have 4.6 so I downloaded it and unpacked it in a new directory. I did all the appropriate updates to the config.php file. I did an install of 4.5.1. Then, I ran update.php from 10-31-2004, the default. It gave the severity error and so I ran the update again using the date of 01-07-2005. It seemed to solve the problem with the exception of one message about an "invalid argument call" Then I logged in and it gave me an error because I tried to create the first account. Apparently, it already had admin in there as the first record. Anyhow, it all cleared away and things were working fine until this strange node message. This occurred when I tried submitting a test story. I change the name in the system from my name to another ain the "Author name" and it gave some error about the user not exsisting when I hit "submit". Somehow, it took the submit but the story disappeared. That is when the node error came up. It showed the story in the log but there was no trace of the content. 3. I tried to run a cron.php thinking it would fix something but it gave an error about a header a missing on line 66. I guess the questions are 1. Do I have a possible unstable install? How can I tell? 2. What is this strange ?q=node n/a that popped up after the problem with the story submit? How do I make it go away? 3. Why am I getting an error on line 66 when I run cron.php? I am about to invest a lot of time in design and I still don't know exactly how to back up the database. I have a lot of work to put in all the design and menus, etc. I searched the archives but I couldn't find anything on the "node" problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this email. Make it a great day.
