medx.info has bombed out!
All of a sudden I get this when trying to browse www.medx.info!
Fatal error: Call to undefined function node_load() in /home/.hilarius/medx/medx.info/includes/menu.inc on line 408
I have tried restoring from backup - FTP's all the backedup files from local pc the site.
Then I deleted everything and copied afresh original Drupal 6.3 files - still the same error?
That is strange - it is supposed to treat thi slike a new install.
I need help URGENTLY!
Thx!

Read moreDHTML Menu in Drupal 5.8 - Sub menus doesn't open
Hi all,
I am trying to create a menu on my site with the dhtmlmenu module.
I added this function to my template.php:
function tapestry_menu_item_link($item, $link_item) {
$path = explode("#",$link_item['path']);
if($path[0])
return l($item['title'], $path[0], !empty($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description']) : array(), isset($item['query']) ? $item['query'] : NULL, $path[1]);
else
return ''.$item['title'].'';
}
And my parent items in the menu are pointing to: #.
Read morePayment gateway choices in South Africa
So, you're a South African who's set up a drupal site and you want to sell stuff - and have your money put in a South African bank account. What are your payment gateway options?
Well, first off, you'll need to sign up for a merchant account at your local bank - who will want a business plan from you - and most banks charge you for the setup. Then you'll probably pay fees of around R100/month (?) for that account. The banks take between 5 and 7% per transaction ( ::sigh:: ). Then sign up with a payment gateway and you're ready to accept online transactions. The question is, which payment gateway?

Read moreAdd the site to favorites in Drupal 5.8
Hi,
Does anybody know how can I create a menu item to add the site to the browser's favorites?
Not to the site's nodes, but to the actual browser's favorite?
Thanks,

Read moreChanging layout of custom content type
Hi There
I've created a custom content type using CCK and all works (well, most of it) :o) I would like to know how difficult would it be to rearrange the content on the page?
For instance, instead of having all content underneath each other, I would like the text fields on the left of the page and the image on the right.
Also, is it possible to create one page with 2 or more instances of a content type on it, arranged of course?
Thanks in advance for all the assistance :o)

Another question.
I've created a view, and then I changed it's filter.
When I did that, the path disappeared, and now I can't find where to set it up again.
There is nothing on the view edit page that gives me an option to set up the path :(
Read moreNeed help with a complicated web site
Hi,
I am new to Drupal, and the first site I got to create is very complicated.
I need to create a form for capturing CV details.
The form has different sections like: skills / education / language etc.
The user should be able to save the form and come back to it later and continue filling it up.
The system should also show the user which parts where completed and which still need to be filled in.
The user should be able to edit/add/delete any content he captured in this form.
Can anyone help me with that?
Thank you,
Sigal

Good day, fellow Capetonian Drupalers

When's the next meetup in Cape Town?
Hi all.
I can kick myself for not joining on the Drupal Groups earlier - I would have loved to attend the CT get-together. ; (
Any plans for another g2gether anytime soon?
I'm sure there are other Drupalers in CT - I'll keep my ears open.
For a start, exchanging contact details might be a good idea - how about that.
Please feel free to contact me via my user name. ; )

Reminder: Drupal Johannesburg Meetup this Saturday
Hi All. Just a reminder of the saturday drupal meetup at obsidian systems, at 13:00. Please bring whatever you want to drink, and if you're feeling peckish, some chips/snack.
Carl is going to be demoing some of the stuff his company is doing with drupal for ABSA, Samsung, Toyota, Converse, Hollard etc. I'll take a stab at showing the kind of sites I'm doing for NGO's, and try and demo the gmap module (google maps drupal integration).
