How do I do X?

Anyone in these forums able to guide me through some issues with Rules, specifically 'data selectors', in Drupal 8?

I'm mid-way through migration of a Drupal 6 site to Drupal 8 and would like to replace a big part of my old D6 custom module with Rules. Nothing too fancy, but I'm having no luck defining Rules in D8.

I support a number of D7 sites. Most of them share a common theme, the modules in use in each site can vary.

To save space and sanity, I set up local multisite on my dev box. In test and production all of the sites are single site installs. I have little or no control over this decision.

System Information:
-Windows Server 2012 Standard
-Drupal 7.4.1
-MySQL

I'm sharing information that worked for me when creating a link in the block body, to a file folder location. Keep in mind that correct permissions would also be necessary to have the desired result of the user clicking the link and having success displaying the files within the folder. But another part of that success would be typing out the file path using the correct structure.
Example:
file:///S:/IMD/APS/Ique_Project/06-Training/R2%20User%20Guides/Final_BPD...

We are being advised by a section of our organization to establish the following practices and I would like your input and help.

All feature development should be banned

Modules in dev, alpha and beta status should be forbidden.

If any module is necessary in these states it should be a code branch.

Drupal sites should be maintained at least monthly with all modules with new releases being updated. I'm not talking about Core here, I'm talking about always keeping modules at the current version.

I have a client that has a site that shares documents with their customers. They also want to be able to click on that file and send it as an attachment to a third party. You can easily send the link to the file. Has anyone ever tried attaching it? Is it even possible?

Hi,

I tried to load the Fresh theme (http://drupal.org/project/fresh) to my Drupal dashboard, but I got these error messages:

HTTP error -13 occurred when trying to fetch http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fresh-7.x-1.4.tar.gz.

Unable to retrieve Drupal project from http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fresh-7.x-1.4.tar.gz.

I tried to install with this URL: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fresh-7.x-1.4.tar.gz and I tried http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fresh-7.x-1.4.zip.

I also tried to save those files to my computer and then upload, but I got the same errors.

Hi all I can't get an image to be set as Background. I have installed the Background Images Module 7.x-1.0, and to my knowledge have it configured, but cant seem to get an image to be set to the background. If anyone has suggestions that would be great. Or a step by step for a noob would be amazing. I am leaning a lot and really starting to love Drupal!

Running Drupal 7.22

Also where do you guys meet every week same place or does it change?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I am working on a site for a client. I created the site on their new hosting plan using a dummy domain during development. When we went live, we switched the nameservers and the primary domain for the hosting plan. Everything worked great. Except now Webform doesn't work at all. It just reloads the form page. No submissions get recorded and no emails get sent.

Any ideas on what might have caused this and how to fix it? I have tried everything I can think of (reinstalling the module, installing a different version, clearing cache, running update.php, etc). Nothing seems to work.

I would like to be able to debug (walk through) some PHP/Drupal code (specifically some Islandora contributed modules) to try and solve some apparent configuration problems (and just to get better acquainted with the inner workings of the system). I've got Eclipse with PDT setup on my Windows 7 system, and wish to conduct some remote debugging of code that lives on an Ubuntu 10.04 virtual 'test' server. There appears to be a lot of good remote debug configuration info available (perhaps too much to sift through) on the web, but I haven't found any that's specific to my environment yet.
