Contents of the Test Field Appears on Home Page Only

When I edit my web page content, the value in the Test field ends up appearing on the Home Page only. The value in the Test field does not appear on any other page.

I have tried to Save my page edits with nothing in the Test field but that item has an orange asterisk which I believe means that it is a required field.

Here is a snippit of what gets generated from the print $content on my home page:

<

div class="node">

This is the contents of the Test: * field

Dumping nodes to a file

Google took me to http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/64 and I'm on page 15 and still not finding what I need, any suggestions?

My org has hired a content editor to clean up our site's copy. They want to deliver to this person a list of documents for all the pages (by pages I mean nodes) that they can edit in a word processor. We'll then copy and paste them back.

Does anyone know an easy way to do this?

IDE and Debugger

Help. I pretty much wasted the weekend away trying to get an IDE (any IDE) and debugger (any debugger that works) setup for my local Drupal dev environment.

Tried Eclipse (even bought a PackT ebook on the subject) in many forms... PDT, PHPEclipse, others. Tried a couple debug options like Zend, xdebug. The IDEs work to some extent but I really need debugging and have failed on every attempt in that regard. Even tried CodeLobster (very briefly) and NetBeans. Can't get debugging to work in any of these systems. But I think I'm close on several counts.

My dev environment...

Working with Views Bulk Operations and "Execute arbitrary PHP script"

I just posted a question to the Drupal.org forums at http://drupal.org/node/570220. I'm having issues with Views Bulk Operations and scripting something that will help me modify a few hundred nodes at a pop. Not something I need to do very often but am hoping VBO will provide an easy way to get it done. Not yet. 8^(

Thanks in advance if you can get me over this bump.

Customizing search

I've created a custom content type called "jobpost" and customized the template so that it shows the way I like. I'm now down to the problem of searching. I'd like to make it searchable so that people can type a keyword and find jobs that match it.

This article helped me do that: http://drupal.org/node/141788 So now I've got a "jobs" page that has a nice looking search box and some helpful tips.

Execute Code Before View

OK, stupid question time. First a bit of background info...

I've used CCK to create a data type and a module to go with it. The module has only one function thus far and it's job is to query the DB and calculate a "volunteer score" reflecting how much volunteer work a member has logged in the 30 days prior to some target date. The whole purpose is so that I can do a better job of scheduling volunteers to work at the local non-profit theatre.

Creating a page with a template

When a new user creates a page I'd like to give them the option of a couple templates, for example, "plain" (blank), "side bar," "table of contents" or etc. Depending on the choice, the content area may be pre-populated with some HTML.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? FTR, I will be using a wysiwyg editor.

I have been struggling with the creation of a drupal site - and being completely new to drupal is why. The deadline has just about run out (thanks to my drupal learning curve) so am willing to pay someone to assist me with some basics such as:

After having been all over the drupal site for help, soluctions to these are still elusive. Blocks did display before but dont now.

Email Notification of Comments

Hello,

I am trying to get email notification of new comments for users who are part of that discussion/group/forum/etc. I have the email setup and working via phpMail and it sends test emails. Also, when you join a group I believe it sends emails too. No matter what I do it just will not send emails about comments/replys/etc.

Any ideas of what I should do next, or what other info I need to post here?

Thanks,

Jason
