module

Anyone familiar with the Advertisment Module? http://drupal.org/project/ad I've installed it on a local development installation and can't get it to display an image ad. I've looked through the documentation and it seems like it should be pretty straight-forward. I'm just missing something and (noob alert), not sure what.

I can supply details if there's anyone who has experience with the module wants to make suggestions. Gonna keep plugging away in he meantime.

An issue related to module documentation I have is that a number of the modules such as imce and notifications have lots of available settings without much explanation regarding when to use what setting (how to make it work for you). I was thinking that perhaps this issue could be addressed in some manner by our meetup group by having someone who knows a particularly highly used module well to walk the group through the process for setting it up, with some explanation for what the different settings mean, how to customize for particular situations. Perhaps some kind of ‘breakout’ group?

We are looking at developing an enterprise Drupal architecture using multisite as the overall hosting solution. We have setup a proof of concept with multisite and it works great. The more complicated step is having some modules that need to be not only available to all sites, but also configured with specific settings when the site is deployed. For example, we will want to have CKEditor available for all sites, but also configured a specific way and be enabled automatically.

Hi,
Recently, I received a project where i have to create an online database of the genealogy (family tree) of a community. I think Drupal is the best option for creating this kind of a website.
I searched for some drupal modules to create or import a genealogy and found a couple.
The first one was genmod, which displays the database created externally from a script called "genmod". This plugin is still in development, but i tried it anyway, but, as expected it gave a lot of problems.

Does anyone know of a "Time Slot Sign Up" module, that could be used for volunteer members to sign up for hourly time slots for stuff needing doing at our upcoming DrupalCamp?

There is D5 http://drupal.org/project/volunteer_timeslots - not been touched for 3 years.
Also, DO members looking for same:
http://drupal.org/node/562842
http://drupal.org/node/370282

I did one in Perl a dozen years ago, and use it now and then for SCALE and such, for booth table manning. It's extremely flexible.

Hey all as we are getting ready for the upcoming July meeting I figured we could start a thread for cool modules that we have run into in our Drupal Daily Lives.

The first one I want to bring up is the Quiz module http://drupal.org/project/quiz. There was just a new release up to v4 and it seems to offer a lot of cool functions. I came across this module when I was thinking about using Webform to create a series of tests for users but this seems easier.

Any other modules out there

Hi,

actually I don't know the differences between AJAX, JavaScript and jQuery. But before answering here, maybe a wiki page is missing and could be mentioned in the group description?

In many groups such info lacks in the description. Yes I'm familiar with groups, but from Yahoo and the Dutch http://Clubs.nl (they WERE the first & the best, Yahoo bought the software and made a cut down version for its groups). So I'm not that happy with the features and design of Drupal groups, but that's another issue...

hi,

usually the hook "hook_node_access_records($node)" gets called when you hit the save-button on the edit page of a node. I need to call this function outside the edit-form.

I'm building a custom content-privacy module and I need to call this function for all existing nodes filtered by content-type (for example all blog nodes).

The problem I have is that this hook needs a node-object as a parameter. When being on a node-edit page (node/[NID]/edit) this object will be available. But when I don't edit a node I have no node-object available.

Hi Guys,

I'm developing a custom module for some privacy stuff. My module provides a new page under "user/[UID]/edit/privacy".

<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_menu()
*/
function MY_MODULE_menu() {

$items['user/%user/edit/privacy'] = array(
'title' => 'Privacy',
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => array('MY_MODULE_privacy_settings'),
'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'weight' => 100,
'file' => 'MY_MODULE_privacy.admin.inc'

hi,

I want to build a custom module to see if I (as logged-in user) have a relationship to an any user when viewing nodes created by an other user.

Someting like this.

Let's say we have a default drupal installation with two users "User A" and "User B" and the User Relationship module to create relationships between users.
- User A and User B have no "friends".
- User A logs in and he creates several blog entries.
