Horizontal instead of vertical formatting..

Thu, 02/09/2012 - 05:16

Hi,

I am trying to create a simple photo gallery that will be exported as a feature and loaded onto a production site.. I have created a content type that has a multi image field for the photos.. When viewing the page the image thumbnails show as a long vertical list which is obviously not ideal..

Is there a quick simple way to get the thumbnails to line up horizontally instead of vertically, preferably without using a view?

Thanks..

US hosting vs UK hosting

Tue, 02/07/2012 - 17:38

Similar to last post I'd also like to hear what people have to say about using US based hosts for serving mostly UK targeted sites? Is there anything to consider (with the exception of obvious time delays for support)?

Thank you

AWS - Amazon Web Services - Accessing servers on a mac using SSH and public/private keys

Mon, 02/06/2012 - 05:49

Hi everyone

I've been using AWS (Amazon Web Services) and their EC2/Cloud Formation services for the past week and have been testing the instant Drupal sites via the Cloud Formation. After much trial and error I have everything working with the exception that I am unable to upload/download files to the server as it requires SFTP utilising public/private key pairs. I've done everything possible and have viewed umpteen articles in relation to this but still cannot find any answers on how to do this via my mac.

I have setup a .ssh directory in my home directory, have set the .pem files so only I can read/write them, including allowing access to the server on port 22 but I'm still having no joy in connecting to the server. Most of the the time I'm getting 'Permission denied (publickey)' and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Just so you know the server is working correctly and displaying the test site www.agentfame.com so it is purely an access issue.

If anyone can advise, help or even direct me to some suitable articles it would be most appreciated.

Thank you

Stephen

How do I create a static block in code?

Sun, 02/05/2012 - 16:09

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me out here.. Firstly I am not a coder but I have a problem that needs code to be resolved..

I am creating a feature using "features" and I need to create a static block where the content is a simple HTML table.. Features doesn't export blocks so my plan is to add it in code to the .module file of the exported feature..

I haven't been able to find any code examples for a simple block to start from so if anyone can give me a pointer and perhaps a sample that would be great!!

TIA

EDIT: I am using Drupal 7 if that makes any difference..

Best deployment strategy with D7 ?

Fri, 02/03/2012 - 03:11

Hi all,

This may have been asked many times, I have already found quite a large number of posts out there, but found no answer to a simple question -> how can I easily deploy a new version of my site from dev / staging to production (without losing any single piece of user content) ?

I have seen Features, Deploy modules. Smart approaches like this one http://drupal.org/node/181128, well -- all kinds of things, I also know that deployment should be at the heart of D8 with the DOG initiative.

But yet, I am completely confused because as of today, I would like to be able to :

  1. Keep a baseline locally on my dev machine, which would be the exact same version as the one in prod, except latest content (articles, comments, forums, users, user profiles, uploaded images, etc)

  2. Prepare a new version locally, based on that baseline, adding modules, new pages, etc.

  3. Import all latest content from prod and test the whole thing

  4. Export to prod once successfully tested

So I was wondering if someone could help me with that ... I certainly do not want to make changes live to the prod machine. Nor do I want to switch the site to maintenance mode while I would manually apply changes.

How do you guys deal with that ?

Cheers,

When is it NOT a good idea to use taxonomy?

Thu, 02/02/2012 - 10:55

Hi,

I seem to be chasing my tail a little here trying to decide how to classify the content on something I am working on..

Its basically an issue register for managing a project.. I have created the content type with all the fields but now have to classify the issue based on its severity and likelihood each with 4 options from low to very high.. This gives a total of 16 options.. Eg "Low-Low","Low-Medium","Low-High" etc.. Views will then be used to query and sort the content..

Now this can be done in one of two ways..

  1. A taxonomy with the 16 options as terms..

  2. A select list field with the 16 items..

Can some of the more experienced site builders out there suggest the better way to go and why??

Thanks..

Help with hosting a site created in Gardens and exported

Wed, 02/01/2012 - 19:03

Hello Everyone,

I am still fairly new in the Drupal world, but loving every waking minute. I have a few questions that I am hoping some kind souls can help me with.

Here is where I am at:

I just created my first ever website, using Drupal Gardens. Last night I downloaded the Acquia AMP stack and then core Drupal from Drupal.org. I watched a tutorial online on how to create a site with Core Drupal, but am really intimidated as Core doesn't have the user friendly environment, preloaded modules, content, etc that Gardens has. So what I think is my next step in learning Drupal is what I am asking for help with:

How do I export my Gardens site? Can I then import that into Core, or do I have to re-build that site essentially from scratch? Once I have imported that site into Core or built a new one from scratch, how do I actually pass my site onto a hosting company to host and make live for me?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Patrick

Drupal hook menu and node form

Tue, 01/17/2012 - 01:37

I have a content type 'leg'and this hook_menu :

$items['leg'] = array(
    'title' => t('Choose Leg'),
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'access arguments' => array('create leg content'),
    'page arguments' => array('mymodule_leg_select_form'),
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
    'weight' => 0,
);

$items['leg/select'] = array(
    'title' => t('Choose an existing leg'),
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'access arguments'

=> array('create leg content'),     
    'page arguments' => array('mymodule_leg_select_form'),
    'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,
    'weight' => 1,
); 

$items['leg/add'] = array(
    'title' => t('Create a new leg'),
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'access arguments' => array('create leg content'),     
    'page arguments' => array('leg_node_form'),
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    'weight' => 2,
); 
return $items;

But I have this error when I go to that menu path.
I have no idea what I should do.

Node form is not rendered correctly as you can see in the screen shot.
I have two fields - field_from and field_to. They are not rendered in the form.
The menu path "leg/select" which is default local task does work and correctly render my custom form.
The problem only is to integrate node add form in the second tab.

How can I fix this error ?

filtering pdf file attachments

Thu, 01/12/2012 - 15:36

I have a Drupal 7 question that I can't seem to find a clear solution. I have a lot of pdf files that I want to add to our website. I want to be able to query/filter the pdf files based on year and department. I would want something like a drop down menu or radio buttons to accomplish this so the user can select to sort by year and/or department. I can't figure out how to add any taxonomy or association to the file to do so.

Do you know if this can be done or not? If you know of any books or tutorials that will help me, I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Best FREE Drupal Gardens video

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 23:51

Hello everyone,

I am trying to delve into learning Drupal by starting off with Drupal Gardens before I download the core program and do a self install.

I am looking for a FREE Drupal Gardens video to watch in hopes of getting me up to speed. The Drupal 7 Essential Training on lynda.com looks great, but I am going to most likely be dishing out some $$ to them in the future and would rather be up to speed before I do that so as to make the most out of my monthly membership.

Any suggestions?

User Role Selection and Profile Fields

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 00:07

Hi Drupalers,

I have two user roles with profile fields.

Role 1
Name, Username, Password, Email, Address line 1, Address line 2, Website.

Role 2
Name, Username, Password, Email

I want to let anonymous user to chose user role on registration.
Upon user role selection, I want to show role-related fields interactively (with javascript).
I mean that when select Role 2, Address line 1, Address line 2 and Website fields will be disappeared, and when select Role 1, they will be appeared again.

I currently use 'user_role_field' module and 'autoassignrole' module.
Is there another module to achieve that purpose ?
I'm using Drupal 7.7.

Thank you for any help.
I attached a screen draft what I want to implement.

New to Drupal and Drupal Dojo group

Tue, 01/03/2012 - 19:04

Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick Grady and I am not only brand new to the Drupal Dojo group, but am also a brand newbie to Drupal!! I have 10+ years experience with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and have recently decided that I am ready to start exploring a new career path. A friend of mine has a business which revolves around web development using Drupal for client companies. He gave me the run down on what he does and it sounds very cool. My goal is to be able to work remotely and feel as if working with Drupal will allow me to create that reality for myself.

Any advice/insight for a newcomer to Drupal will be greatly appreciated!! For starters, where to now? I watched a preliminary video on Drupal and am hooked! I'd appreciate some steering into the best direction to get my skill set up to scratch. So, fire away with some of your advice/insights as to where I should head from here (online courses, books, jump into Drupal Gardens headfirst.....)

Regards,

Patrick Grady

which one is better choice drupal or elgg?

Thu, 12/22/2011 - 06:47

Please help me, I decide to make a community website which have following features:
• Register user can upload the video.
• Only register user can like or unlike the video.
• Anonymous user can comment on video without need of registration.
So tell which one is better choice
• Drupal
• Elgg
I’m intermediate in PHP but good in html and css. Many of my friends says elgg is better than drupal because if I make community site with drupal present version ( drupal 7). And after some time if I update my drupal to next version it will become nightmare for me to handle the website. Is they are right?
I’m new to both elgg and drupal. Kindly tell which one is better for me and there advantages and limitations…
Thanks in advance….
