Portland (Oregon)

Hello from Grand Rapids!

I've been here for two weeks and already the Drupal involvement begins! I'm not actually working on the development, but our web developer is fairly new to Drupal with very few people to consult in GR; only the support forums. So we have a question based on permissions, and the context is that we're creating a website called The Rapidian that will act as an online distribution platform for citizen journalism in Grand Rapids. In this setup, we have many roles, with first-time reporter and reporter on the lower rungs and editor on the higher rungs.

So when adding content in a custom content type like a “news story,” can we hide/show certain fields based on a users role? For example, we’d like an editor role to be able to check a field “has been fact checked” but not show this to the reporter role.

I posted this on the main drupal theme development forum with no response so i thought i might try my portland buddies...

I am developing a theme for a site that has multiple listings. The site had a landing page with a summary menu produced by creating a view with an argument of city (organizes listings by city). Upon clicking on the city, the user sees, for example, all the restaurants of that particular city. Upon clicking on the restaurant name, the user sees the node page with the body output of the all fields created using CCK.

these links show the process:

Hi,
I created a custom content-type that holds events (very similar to the Event type but with more fields). I then created a Calendar view to display it and found that any of my events which spans mid-night is displayed on consecutive dates in the calendar. This happens even if the event ends at midnight (12:00 AM). I don't want this but can't find a way to fix it.

I found others with the exact same problem on the drupal site (http://drupal.org/node/445358) but the solution is very brief and I couldn't get it to work for me. It also seemed like it was not a very good solution.

I'm trying to reduce duplicate content/pages on my Drupal install with Forums enabled, and I noticed that there are two pages with very similar content: a forum page (e.g. form/1) and the corresponding taxonomy page for the forum (e.g. taxonomy/term/1). Google is indexing both pages, and we'd much rather have just the forum page, not the taxonomy page. Is there a way to redirect the taxonomy pages to the forum page, as well as setup new redirects when new forums are added?

I could probably whip up a module to do this, just wondering if there's any existing solutions or a quick fix.

Hi,
I have another problem using Views together with GMap. Can someone shed some light onto this for me?

I want to show a google map of all of the "event" nodes I have. I
am using Views, Gmap, Location module to do this following the
tutorials I read.

The problem is, my "event" node does not contain it's own
location. Instead each node makes a 'node reference' via a select list to
a venue which contains the location. The reason I did
this is because many events share the same venue and I don't
want the user to have to map the same location multiple times. As

This week (July 20th - 27th):
- Tuesday, 7-21 at Noon: Walkthroughs of NedSpace Old Town.
We should also see what we can do to gather folks who want to work on this and actually do a kick-off meeting about how the walkthrough turned out, what we'd like to do about a regular meeting time, and some roles that should be filled. (We'll need someone in charge of budgeting, mainly.)

I can be available: Tuesday evening at 7pm - 9:30pm, Wednesday evening 7pm - 9:30pm and Thursday afternoon, 3:30 - 5pm.

Hi Drupal Gurus,

This is probably a pretty simple question but I still new to Drupal so I can't figure it out. Can someone help?

"Where is the teaser display format defined for a new content-type? 'Display Field' is not working."

Details of my problem:
I created several new content-types on my site (http://www.mysterymilonga.com/drupal6/), added some contents of those types and I am trying to create a new page displaying nodes of those type using views.
