11/11/09 Meeting Notes

Once again, a place to post a draft of notes!

Two days after the meeting, we'll post the collaborative Wiki page as a comment so people receive e-mail updates.

Just a few scribbled notes from the discussion of Admin and themes:

Fusion, a base theme, provides in-line editing like the Admin module offers.

Root Candy is the group's standard Admin theme.

Looking for some advice regarding Ubercart and the sale of Permissions

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm working with a client who will be switching to Drupal with Ubercart as their primary e-commerce system. Part of our content delivery has to do with subscriptions. We have several hundred products, and we want to be able to sell a subscription for each individual product.

Usage Statistics Failure

Anyone know why Drupal usage statistics are no longer working? The past two weeks for every module I've looked at shows zero across the board. I googled it but found just this discussion: http://drupal.org/node/620350

Examples of busted usage statistics:
http://drupal.org/project/usage/views
http://drupal.org/project/usage/cck

SSL officially insecure?

A zero-day flaw in the TLS and SSL protocols has been made public and man-in-the-middle attacks have been demonstrated. I caught wind of this off of ZDnet.

D6 and subdirectory installs

Back in the 4.7 days, I recall that installing drupal in a subdirectory could cause major headaches with some of the contrib modules and was in general kind of a pain. Has anyone worked with drupal in a subdirectory in D6 recently? If so, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Bulk Operations Downloads

I have a client that has a music upload/download site and I've set it up as a custom PHP site.

I want to see about bringing it into Drupal, but I need to be able to have the producer upload bulk tracks to sample and then have artists be able to download multiple files at once.

Disabling the /node view of all nodes -AND- programming somewhat random text field content???

Alright, so here's the situation from which my question stems:

I am building a website for a client, and they want to have a content type of "project", which is a piece of content relating to a project they are currently undertaking. The internals of that content are not important, however given the sensitive nature of their industry (prototyping), they want the pieces of content to have SOME variety of security, and not visible to anyone.

Dynamic taxonomy-based menus

There are many modules (like Taxonomy Blocks and Taxonomy Menu) that will take a taxonomy and make one kind of menu or another out of the terms in that taxonomy. However I have not found a module, or thought of an approach using Views or the like, that will allow me to create a dynamic menu that will create a menu of related content. For example, if I'm on a page where the current taxonomy term is "popsicles" then I want a menu in a block in a sidebar that looks something like this:

FAQ
Recent Stories
Rules

All three of these would link to views or pages with an argument of the tid for popsicles. But if I switched to "lollipops" then I'd want the same menu, but now all the options would require an argument of the tid for "lollipops"

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Or am I writing a custom module for myself.

Major issues changing from PHP 5.2.11 to PHP 3

We just tried to set up a test site for our new Drupal page. The server had PHP 5.3 but I'd developed the site under PHP 5.2.11. No big deal we thought. We were wrong. We suddenly had PHP failures all over the place, and not simply warnings, but errors that caused modules to stop working. Here are some:

  • warning: Attempt to modify property of non-object in /sitefolders/sites/all/modules/drupal_contrib/calendar/includes/calendar_plugin_display_page.inc on line 47.
  • warning: Parameter 1 to slate_fieldset() expected to be a reference, value given in /sitefolders/includes/theme.inc on line 617.
  • warning: Parameter 1 to theme_vertical_tabs() expected to be a reference, value given in /sitefolders/includes/theme.inc on line 617.
  • warning: array_map(): Argument #2 should be an array in /sitefolders/modules/system/system.module on line 1015.
  • warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /sitefolders/includes/theme.inc on line 1771.
  • warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /sitefolders/includes/theme.inc on line 1771.

Affected modules include Date, Admin, Vertical Tabs and who knows what else. Module maintainers seem to be behind the curve on this one, possible core too. It would seem that much of Drupal is not ready for the brave new world. You can find hacks to fix some of these, but it really is not good practice and is unsustainable and iffy at best.

So... have any of you had to deal with this and found a good solution? Is there some big-picture thing I'm missing, some magic bullet? Any tips or suggestions?

Documentation / how to's for using drupal_add_css in template.php??? (Drupal 5)

Hey everyone,

So I've Googled damn near every term out there trying to find a simple solution for taking a drupal 5 theme, and adding css in template.php. I've found a few "this aughta work"'s, which don't, and countless more "Just add this"'s, which don't work and don't tell you where to add them. Then again, it's been my observation working with drupal for years now that the documentation is often lacking for things so basic.

Taxonomy-Based Navigation Block w/ Node Titles

Hello all,

I need a taxonomy-based menu/navigation block that works like this:

Vocabulary title <- links to vocab view
+ Term <- expands to show node titles
Node title <- links to node
Node title
+ Term
Node title
- Term
- Term

So that the block doesn't get clogged up with a ton of unneeded node titles, the node titles should appear under the term only if the term is clicked.

Drupal 5 to 6 upgrade many errors

Hello,

I am in the midst of attempting an upgrade of a drupal 5 site to drupal 6. I have disabled all contributed modules and I am just attempting to update core alone right now... when run the upgrade script I am getting a number of errors and I have been searching the drupal.org site for other people's experiences with the same errors and I am not finding any.

I am hoping someone out there might be able to take a quick look at the errors and let me know if they are in fact a problem.

Attaching Views to nodes

The help for Views Attache says that then can "get 'attached" to either a user page or nodes of specified types'

but if I create an attachment display in a View, it seems to only want to attach to another View display, not to nodes. Can you attach a view to a specific node (i.e. node/6) or at least to all of a certain content type? If so, where is that specified?
