how-to

(Reposting...last post was deleted)

For certain content on a site, I want to implement "security by obscurity" by having the posts show up only in restricted views and by making the URLs for those posts a set of random, unguessable characters (like Microsoft does with GUID).

So, I need guidance in two parts:

1. What module (presumably CCK-related) or trick will create a set of random, unguessable characters that I can then use as replacement token in pathauto?

Does anyone know how to embed a widget (or is there a Drupal Module) that will enable users to check for availability of domains?

I'm building a Drupal-based site on which users will request a new domain for their Drupal-based site. I'd like to determine availability of domains right from within my site, rather than sending them to a domain registrar.

How do I: When a new node is created by an anonymous visitor, how do I trigger an email to be sent to the email address stored in a CCK Email field ?

Scenario: Continuing with the scenario in HOWTO: Auto-create a cryptic URL Path, when an anonymous user creates a new node and puts their email address in a CCK Email field, I want to automatically send an acknowledgment to the email addresses stored in one or more email fields.

How Do I: When creating a new node, auto-create a cryptic URL path, similar to a "Replication ID" (like this: www.thesite.com/C560E5B2-6459-478C-A913-4C895D7D046C). Can I do this with some special token?

I know this is simple, but I haven't taken time to figure it out. So...how do I convert a node from one content type to another (e.g., from book page --> story)? When I do, does the node remain in the book outline?

OK...Following Ethan's comment and Moshe's reply about using this group to create a log/list of challenges and resolutions for Drupal implementations, here is a really simple one.

When displaying a node, how do I show the Organic Groups with which that node is associated, the way it's done on this site? I have OG installed on a couple of sites, but this feature doesn't seem to be provided out of the box. I'm guessing it's something that has been added to this GDO theme.

Hi everyone.

I have been exploring Drupal for a month and I have found it impressive, amazing piece of work from the Drupal community. Maybe my questions will sound a bit naifs, I’ve been in project coordination for a while, so my coding skills are rusted.

I’ve been trying to use the “calendar” 6.x module applying a new content created with CCK, but I got stuck in creating its View with the View 2 module.

The test is quite simple.

The table {activity} consists in the following:
.- name (the table nodes name field)
.- description (the table nodes body’s field)

I haven't done this myself yet so I shant comment. In trying to figure out what sort of questions a church new to using drupal might ask, I happened on this one. "How do you do a sermon podcast?"

Perhaps those actually doing this could share their version of drupal, the modules they depend on and any other tip that might be appropriate in helping others complete this task. This will help us build up resources for others to get started. It might even be a good start towards the case studies we'd like to build up or be something we could start formatting into a wiki page.

I'm building a community site for the Public Librarians and I was wondering how on Wiki Pages, the Edit link is added on Drupal Groups.

It's the link just under the Title that says, "You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome..." Then depending on whether you're already a member of the Group, the link either goes to edit the page or join the group.

How nice.

Does anyone know how this was done? Is it something added to the theme template? I'm trying to figure out how it's done!

Any help would be appreciated.

I write to suggest a Drupal Dojo lesson on setting up Calendar. It is a useful module and a common need, but isn't an intuitive setup "out of the box."
