After installing Drupal 7.34 through Installatron, I uploaded my document file and database files in the required places into server and changed in the settings file. The site is up and running. But I don't see the theme. Where should i make change to make the theme visible on the website? Since i have overwritten Drupal content with the backup files, it does not let me change through the top toolbar option APPEARANCE.
Also I don't know where to upload the logo from, although the png file is in a directory in public_html folder , It says invalid path when I try to type the path for the same. This I was doing to see if I can change the appearance from the top toolbar menu option, APPEARANCE and can make the theme visible again.
I also copied the theme files and put them under the public_html/theme folder. All my data files have been stored in a folder in public_html folder.
Can anybody please guide me as I am totally new with Drupal.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this issue. I'll try to help if I can.

When uploading a theme for the first time a good place to put it is in the sites/all/themes directory. Once you install it there then it should be available as an option on the Appearance admin page.

After you have the theme installed check its settings page. The theme settings page should have a file upload field for the logo.

Thank you for the responses, positive or negetive. Now coming to the point.
I have uploaded all files in the sites/all/theme folder and still when I change the theme to any other through the appearance, it still does not let any change visible on the screen. So I go back to my default Bartik one and see that all settings are perfect in the appearance page, but no effect seen on the website.Is there a settings file for theme as well where I can see? Also I read in an article that the variable table for themes will be having the information on theme settings, but when I go to phpMyAdmin to see the database, it does not allow me to see any variable table as its not editable. How to view tables in Editable mode.

I think the problem was the directory in which I was storing the 'sites' file. It was not directly under the public_html but was under three levels in a new directory folder that I had made to put my uploaded files from backup. Then I downloaded another theme and made it as default and saw all the files were made in sites folder directly under public_html file. So thank you for the responses and I hope this problem could have been solved by changing the placement of the 'sites' file and its subfolders.

Title: Theme not visible on Upload » Field validation problem
Component: Bartik theme » other

Now I am facing another problem. I downloaded modules like Field validation, entity reference and its required modules. Then I created a rule to validate but realised that it would not work. hence deleted the rule. but since I had saved the configuration, the error keeps coming up telling me the source of error is in the line number so n so in file public_html/includes/entity.inc
Now when I see this file, the error source is not seen as it calls the variables to load the data and not the fields label directly, i don't know what to delete? I disabled all validation modules in the modules menu.
Will I have to look up in some database table for the error or something else?

Title: Field validation problem » How to make Login user password Access to website
Priority: Normal » Major

Hi,
I use the Book module for my content. I see that my site has a login user name and password option as I enabled the open ID module in the modules. But it still allows users to access the contents of the website without logging in. Also in spite of making all content permission limited to the given users and administrator, it has view and edit option on top of some book pages that is accessible without logging in. Through edit it allows the title to be changed and saved. I don't want every reader to alter my site. Where did I miss out?Please I want someone to look into this too.
Thank you in advance.

I solved this problem of login by taking away all permissions of anonymous users and thank god now it works and the site is not visible to all except those who will login.

Title: How to make Login user password Access to website » Comments to link to the Book page being commented on.
Status: Closed (fixed) » Active

How to make a comment get connected to a book page content so that whenever somebody writes about that article, the posted comments can be read by others too when they open this book page to view? I see the "Add comments" page just below the main content area and I want it to be linked to the article and be visible. How can this be achieved? The Add comments page is not created by me but is available through some code I guess so don't even know where to configure it from.

What does the above error message do and how can it be overcomed?

I've got this error message to in #12, please follow this up - anyone who knows?

line 379 is:

$variables['book_link'] = $node->book;

@Göran or @TDI007: Would you be kind enough to write a new issue summary that includes the steps to reproduce the issue?

I checked the process to get this message again and it is really simple in my system ... I only have to create a comment on a book page. This is all .. and the message appears in the recent logs.

Maybe it depends on other active modules - I use forum (and advanced forum) and Workbench moderation ...

Göran’s picture

The error message is related to ad a new comment. It shows up in the form for ad the comment.
And it does not show up after the comment after it is created or viewed?

Could the error message be related to the fact that the standard BODY field has been replaced with others?
(have read somewhere that this could cause some problems in views?)

P.S. - The reason to replace the Body field is that the two new fields have a field permissions for different roles and also have different function.
(The comment is related to a book page with ancestor 3 (N:o 4) and created through the function in "Book made it simple" link. The book has different content types for each ancestor and depth levels of 4)

Did make a test where I did use the "Body" standard field in comment, but the error message is still there.

I have some (simple) views filter on comments fields - I don't know if that is related to the reason behind error?
For permission on different fields in the comment I use field permission. Don't know if relevant?
