howto

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 James!
(This post is a reply to a question on how to build a simple multi-contributor news site, but I felt better posting thiswriteup as a new node.)

I did something like the thing you ask for a few months ago, when doing some hands-on web stuff with Swedish journalist students.
It would take some time and effort to explain everything I did in detail, but you could try the following list and ask more questions if you get stuck.

Jag är glad och stolt över att presentera min senaste screencast: Vaddå CCK?
Det är en introduktion till modulen Content Construction Kit, och riktar sig till dem som hört CCK nämnas men aldrig testat den själv.

Videon är uppdelad på två klipp på Youtube. Det första visar hur man installerar modulen och skapar nya fält till befintliga noder, och det andra visar ett exempel på hur man skapar nya innehållstyper. En nyare screencast finns att beskåda på Blip.tv. Den visar det uppdaterade gränssnittet i CCK, men är mindre putsad än den ursprungliga screencasten.

Last week I started the challenge to upgrade <a href="http://testedgroup.com" target=_blank">my custom zen sub-theme from zen 5.x-0.7 to zen 5.x-1.0 which has taken a couple more hours effort than I had originally expected. The outcome so far however was worth the effort. Thanks JohnAlbin and contributors.

With the excellent documentation, I have decided to start and modify my frontpage from the traditional river of news to display NODE-X that wraps around BLOCK-X displayed on the right hand side of the content. Now I have hit a barrier and I need your input...

Hey, I've set up a data pipe from Drupal to Flex/Flare using jQuery. Its as easy as this:

1. IN DRUPAL TEMPLATE.PHP
   function phptemplate_views_view_list_{viewname}($view, $nodes, $type) {
   foreach ($nodes as $i => $nid) {
   $node = node_load($nid->nid);
   $output[]= json_encode($node);
   }
   return 'var videos=['.implode(',',$output).']';
   }

2. IN THE HTML-TEMPLATE

<

script type="text/javascript">
function getData(){
$.getScript("http://example.com/view", function(){
/*$(videos).each(function(i){

This howto will help you create a simple method for your clients to add locative information to a travelogue. I've been fiddling with a lot of options for doing this, including using feeds with gmap macros. Though gmap macro feeds have the advantage of offering specific marker types for the different feeds, I ended up using a method which does away with that feature, but gains tremendously in useability, due to the fact that the writer doesn't need to know the exact feed syntax and gmap macro syntax to make it work.
