I was wondering what the best approach to this would be. I'm fairly new to Drupal, hence why I'm sure there is a simple answer to this. I want each page on my site to have a header image at the top. Each page will have a different image. The home page however will have a header image that will be a slide show.
I'd like to record unique variables such as "Hours of Operation" which do not apply to individual nodes or users, but a single value across the entire site. There could be a few hundred of these variables of all different types - dates, date arrays, long text, etc... So I don't want to create a single node with 100 fields - that's nuts. And I was going to go with adding a field to Taxonomy, but I'd have to add one for each data type. (That's actually my most likely vector at the moment.)
I've done quite a bit of themeing with D6, however I'm having some problems with regions in D7. I've read the documentation regarding the need to add render and page onto the php code, however it's still not working for me.
I'm using Danland as a base theme and I've created a front--page.tpl.php for my front page layout.
I've added the following to my danland.info file;
regions[front] = Front
regions[sidebar] = Sidebar
and I've added the following to my front--page.tpl.php file;
When I install a new module (typically from URL) an error box comes up for a moment, then disappears and install finishes well.
I had this problem several times (with brand new sites as well)
Sadly I couldn't read the error text, cause it was just a blink. (maybe it is not an error?)
Judging from the colors (red text) it is some kind of error.
Is there any way to find out what is going on there?
How can I use a different url for my sitewide contact for without using an alias to /contact?
I would like to use something non standard as I am just put the form up two days ago and it's already getting spam submissions as bots see I am running drupal and see /contact is where my form is as that's default.
This is my first drupal website and I have to say I have fallen in love with Drupal. I went a bit mad with modules and that at the beginning and I am now having to do a massive clean up. I just did not not realise the power of views!
I also hacked core theme code which I now realise I should not have done so I am now looking into how I can retrospectively fix this (mainly css), any tips welcome.
