Master Detail relationships

Hi Folks, I need to express a tree of data with "drill down". I start with a view that collects all the top level content as links to the next level deep and there is where I stumble. I don't know how to express this second level such that it can be addressed by the links in the top level, and I don't know how to express the link in the top level. Any help? Chris.

Re: [support] [development] File upload and convert

This one tiny bit of advice is exactly the assistance I needed. Give yourself a raise. I was trying to understand if "file" needs to know about "image" for the extension, or if "image" can simply extend without the knowledge or cooperation of "file". This interaction is pretty central to Drupal (Earnie!) and I have not yet found the Rosetta stone. W hile investigating this I discovered that there are upload validation functions. "Upload validation" is precisely what I want to do: provisionally accept a file for upload, perform some operation and continue or abort, depending on the outcome of the operation. Further, I can enable/disable a particular conversion with a checkbox in the standard dialog. It looks to me, with my untrained and novice enthusiasm, that almost everything is already in place. This is beginning to look like a contributed module "Conversions", which would please me greatly, if I can learn enough about how this works to do it. So, the natural question is, is "upload validations" an extensible set? Where can I investigate this more fully? Thanks for the help, Chris.

Drupal 7 Control file download
by Austin Einter 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi All This is a simple problem, please let me know how to go about it. In a custom module, depending on search keywords, I show number of documents in a table to users. When users click on document link, the document gets downloaded. For me, I have set a download limit for each user as 10. So one user can download maximum of 10 documents per day. When user clicks on document link, file is getting downloaded. But during that time none of my custom module's function is getting executed so I am not able to keep track of which user has downloaded how many documents, so I am not able to limit the downloads. Can somebody help me , when the user clicks on a document link, how can I force at least one function in my custom module should be invoked. Or if there is some other alternative to keep track of documents downloaded per user, please let me know. Thanks Austin

Confirmation page
by Anthony 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

We (http://drupalistasgroup.com) an online study group are trying to learn the form api. We have been able to construct a form and enter data, send an email with the form contents, and create and fill a dab table with the form data. Now we are looking for a way of constructing a confirmation page, which will basically confirm the form data entry and display a message to the form filler outer/user. We can't do it with set_message I don't think. What is the Drupal way to do this? Thanks -- *Anthony Stefan Maciejowski*

File upload and convert
by Chris Miller 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi Folks, I have a content type with TWO file fields, in which I will designate TWO PDFs. On upload completion I want to run something like: "exec(pdftk f1.pdf background f2.pdf output f1.pdf)". This will "brand" f1.pdf. I don't see any standard mechanism and so I'm not sure how to go about this. I have a general understanding, but that doesn't answer the question. I am sure I don't want to intercept all possible uploads; just the uploads from this specific content type. So, can I define a file upload hook which is scoped to this specific content type? I haven't seen anything that makes me believe I can. Can I create a custom file field to use any time I need to perform a conversion? Can my custom file field "extend" the existing file field, so I don't have to port improvements/bugfixes to my custom file field version? So many questions... (-: Thanks for the help, Chris.

Problems with core update
by Pat Ferrel 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Sorry if this is a repeat, not sure if my list membership was set up correctly. I'm doing a standard core update but update.php does not complete properly. It shows me the updates to perform but the submit spins for a short while (doesn't look like a timeout) then stays on the page. There are no errors reported on the update page. Also the log page contains no errors and I can't find anything in the MySQL or Nginx logs. One hint that might help me is, what script is executed and what is the url displayed *after* the "update" button is clicked? I'm guessing that the script is never executed from the update submit? I have done this before and it worked but since the last update I switched to Nginx. Also I performed this specific update on a test box first, using Apache, which worked fine. I then updated the core code on the production box and encountered the above problem. The update.php "location" is listed below from the Nginx config. The production box is Nginx+Ubuntu. # -*- mode: nginx; mode:autopair; mode: flyspell-prog; ispell-local-dictionary: "american" -*- ### Configuration file for Drupal if you're not using drush to update your site or run cron. ## Restrict cron access to a specific host. location = /cron.php { # ## If not allowed to run cron then issue a 404 and redirect to the # ## site root. # if ($not_allowed_cron) { # return 404 /; # } fastcgi_pass phpcgi; # ## To use Apache for serving PHP uncomment the line bellow and # ## comment out the above. # #proxy_pass http://phpapache; } location = /update.php { #auth_basic "Restricted Access"; # auth realm #auth_basic_user_file .htpasswd-users; # htpasswd file fastcgi_pass phpcgi; ## To use Apache for serving PHP uncomment the line bellow and ## comment out the above. #proxy_pass http://phpapache; }
