Hi all

I am new to Drupal and am very interested and dedicated to getting to know as much about Drupal as I possibly can, I also have a mind for contributing to the Drupal community in any way I can.

With this in mind I have an idea about setting up a server that members of the Drupal community can use to test and or troubleshoot for example the latest release of Drupal 6.x and 7.x or any modules features themes etc.

Obviously a structure would be needed to be put in place for this to work but is it something that would be useful?

Also I am not sure if this is the correct place for this topic and if so would appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks

If I have 12 user names listed , are they the only twelve that have access? Could your site developer have access without being listed under USERS? Can you see what a user has done and when? I clicked on "tracking" and nothing was there.

Thank you for your time and assistance

please help me...

Right, I'm in the wrong forum, I know, but just wondering if anybody can suggest a good open source macro program which I can set up to automate site tasks such as backup, etc?

I've done extensive searching within the drupal.org site as well as internet at large, I am looking for a way to make all organic groups and all their posts private to any anonymous users on my site.
How can this be done?

Also is it possible to still have the directory view of all the groups visible to anonymous users?

Thanks for any help, anyone can give.

--edit--

Just found http://drupal.org/node/200631

I think this may be my solution, unless their is a better way..

Hi all,

I'm interested in building an interactive map using Google maps or any other service.
Ideally, the user would click on a category and the map would update on the spot showing only the specific category on the map.

Similar to this: http://www.breathtakingathens.com/maps though you have to refresh the page with this one to update

Hey Guys. I'm a newbie here. Please excuse my ignorance. I somehow lost access to my site pages. I can pull up my localhost page, but when I try to get into my admin box, or access a module, the line reads:

Not Found
The requested URL /node was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) PHP/5.3.2 DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 80

I am assuming this is a apache issue, and there is some great information on this, but I can't seem to find exactly my answer. I literally went to lunch yesterday and came back to find this problem. Could it be a module I installed? I had just uploaded the imagecache module before this all went down. Could it be related to that?

Many thanks in advance.

I wasn't very happy with the performance of my drupal websites and i/o seemed to be the culprit. I'm running the drupal sites on a collection of virtual guests. A drupal site runs off a webserver and a separate database server, both virtual guests. Each guest uses 4 cores with 1GB RAM. Each request to the site(s) would consume somewhere between 4-10 seconds. The same guests also host phpbb sites for which each request consumes less than 2 seconds.

I ran iostat on both the www and database server and then issued a(n http) request to one of the drupal sites. The database server only reports about 9 iops for the request while the web server reports somewhere around 2000 iops per request. I was expecting the database server to be doing most of the i/o but apparently the webserver claims most of the i/o. Wondering which files were actually being accessed, on the webserver I ran inotifywatch on /etc and various other directories and (expectedly) all the drupal php files etc. are being accessed for each request. Somewhere between 150-200 files are accessed for each request. None of the files are actually written to so one would expect the disk cache to prevent actually having to access the disk for all these files.

I have an access control use case that does not appear to be suited to any of the contributed access control modules out there, so I am considering writing my own custom module, but as I have never done so before would appreciate a sanity check.

The use case is as follows:

I am using Organic Groups to create Project nodes which are private groups and content posted to the project is only visible to members of the project.

While there is only one "project" OG content type, there are actually many different kinds of project (for the sake of illustration lets just say that there are only 2 - "standard" and "custom"). I can't have a separate OG group content type for every project type (e.g. instead of having one "project" content type, having separate "standard project" and "custom project" content types) as this will be very cumbersome in the long run. So I need to have only one "project" content type and be able to set what type of project it is by a CCK field, so when you create the project.

Independent of the project types is a set of documentation that I need to share with users. While a lot of documentation is shared between content types, some documentation should only be visible to certain project types. In this case, users that are members of "custom" projects should not be able to see "standard" documentation.

Without a doubt the uptake of Drupal in the past 12 months has been exceptional, as a consultancy we are being approached on a regular basis regarding projects that are either Drupal based or perfect for Drupal. As a recruiter over 65% of the roles we are approached to fill are open source, with a large number being Drupal based. It seems that every other day a large scale site is announced, only yesterday Dries was tweeting about the New York Stock Exchange moving to Drupal. Good news for all concerned! There's a buzz in the community.

However, is there a bump in the road ahead? We are finding the uptake in the development community to be behind the curve. There are not enough Drupal developers with the relevant skills to maintain the progression of Drupal at it's current rate. Basic economics tells us that if a commodity becomes short in supply and demand is high the price of that commodity will go up. If the price of developers increases then so does the price of any Drupal related project, which will lead to Drupal projects being cancelled, or alternate solutions found.

It's that, or companies will take on developers with lesser skills, ultimately leading to lower quality Drupal installations. Does this have the potential to tarnish Drupal's reputation?

Hi,

I am new to drupal and I am using it to create a customized CMS system.

What I want to do with it is create a facebook style site using it, so at first one is presented with a log in box, when they log in; the user is presented with a newsfeed.

Currently with Drupal, the newsfeed (or should I say blog) shows on the front page without logging in.

Can this be achieved using Drupal?

Thanks.

I'm having trouble getting pages set up that are not frontpage and which I'd like to appear in primary links. At present it's appearing in the admin menu. Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Hi, I have a drupal site that uses Ubercart, and I need to implement some checking for products of certain type before they are placed into the shopping cart. I quickly figured the hook_order is the right place to perform these checks. Although I did develop the whole site, I am still new to deeper internals of Drupal, e.g. its modules API. So, here goes my stupid question -- where do I exactly place that code? Basically the function should check some conditions on customer record and either reject or accept the order. I think I know what should be in the hook_order, but I need to understand where it lives. The docs aren't clear on that. Can someone post a simple example of hook_order and explain where this code lives?
Thanks for helping.

I have added an exposed filter dropdown to my view, however when i select the value from the dropdown and click apply the site redirects to the homepage.

Hello, I am using drupal 6.17 for creating my ubercart site.I am new to drupal.so i don't know how to set a grid layout using drupal.I use Views and Panels.But I don't know how to configure it.Can anyone help me.Your help will be really appreciable.Thanks in advance.

Question 1
I have created a new content type (publications) using CCK with additional fields.

When i created a view that summary list of all of these publications all i see is the default title and body and none of the content type specific fields.

Whats wierd is that in the preview it shows the data correctly, only when i view the live page these peices of data are gone.

why would that be?

Question 2
how can i create a filter drop down, for a specific field. For example the publication content type has a custom field called topic. I would like to add a topic filter drop down to the top of the view that allows the user to filter based on topic.

Any help on either of these questions would be greatly apprecaited.
