Read moretheming a node with a image in D7
So im trying to theme a node with an image. Seems like a pretty simple basic thing, so Im probably missing something simple here.
Its a custom type for authors withe names, email, address, etc, and a PICTURE.
I can theme all the text fields, they are easy to get like this:
print $node->field_staff_first_name[$node->language][0]['safe_value'];
but how do I get images? the path doesnt seem to be in $node like it was in D6
In D6 I could do:
<?php
print $node->field_staff_pic[$node->language][0]['safe_value'];
?>
Node Updates On Cron
Here is my problem. I am building a set of modules to sync remote objects from another server with nodes in Drupal. The particular module that I am finishing is backup mechanism in the case the remote server is not responding. The data is stored and the calls are rerun when the service is back up. This happens during cron. When a call comes back it returns a unique identifier for the object that I need to store in the node that is associated with it. My problem is that both node_save and db_query are failing to update existing nodes.

Getting a node's menu, including parents
If I have a menu that looks like this:
Home
Products
... product a
... product b
... product c
Support
Partners
... Africa
... Americas
... Asia
... Europe
Contact
Is there a function I can call with the path or node id of, for example, "product c", that will return the menu that product c is in as well as the parent menus? For example, I'd love a structure that returned:
Home
Products
... product a
... product b
... product c (active)

Defeating SPAM and Address Harvesting
I'm currently using the SpamSpan module to obfuscate all e-mail addresses which appear on one of my web sites. The site owner is concerned about an up-tick in the amount of SPAM they receive so I'm looking for suggestions to better protect these addresses.
Suggestions?

Read moreProblem with Feeds and Parser Settings
I've installed and enabled Feeds and several (common syndication, iCal, REGEX) parser plug-ins but when I visit admin/build/feeds to configure a feed importer NONE of the parsers that I have tried present any configurable settings. I've tried this in a couple of different themes including Garland...nothing.
The admin URL that I end up at is always:
/admin/build/feeds/edit/feed/settings/FeedsParser. Am I looking in the wrong spot or missing something here? Anybody else encountered this kind of behavior and found a way around it?
