Drupal 7.x

Hello all,

We -- a distributed group of academics in a science project -- want to jointly write a book. The book will be written in LaTeX because of the heavy load of mathematics; it will also include lots of EPS figures. However, every member shall be able to edit or, alternatively, down- / upload the LaTeX text as well as the Xfig, gnuplot, etc source files generating those EPS files. In the end, it shall become a single PDF (or PS) file.

Ideally, we can split the book into manageable nodes -- that's the word in Drupal slang? --, each of which makes a chapter. That is, each node contains the LaTeX file as well as the EPS files plus their respective source files for that chapter? Then, each node should display the fully processed PDF output of that single chapter, with figures, math, references, etc as in the final product. And another process concatenates every node into the final downloadable PDF file as. So, there are actually two outputs, the chapterized ones visible on the website and the entire book for download. And, thirdly, there must be a way to include each node in a list of contents, through which the individual nodes can be accessed online as well as by which the individual nodes are concatenated in the right order.

A few days ago I was showing someone my site in development, and they pointed out how the page refreshes in IE on pretty much every click while navigating. It had not been doing it to me before.
On every browser other than IE, the site works fine, the bg image never reloads when navigating.
But on ie, every click on a link, the page reloads and I get this flicker from the bg reloading.
So I get home, and test on my laptop, and its doing it as well. It was not doing it before.

Hey guys,

I've setup an image upload field option, and a image style to resize images, but I was wondering if it is also possible to add an additional text field for a description when I upload a picture. Because right now when I upload it a picture it just says Photos: and displays all the images. Is it possible to apply a text field to each upload?

Thank for all your help.

Hi,

Using D7, CCK, date modules. I have a datetime field on one of my content types and I don't know how to set this field to the current date and time programmatically. dpm of the node shows it's datetime fields values

value (String, 10 characters ) 1307060189
timezone (String, 3 characters ) UTC
timezone_db (String, 3 characters ) UTC
date_type (String, 9 characters ) datestamp

Is there a better way of setting this field's value rather than setting all these values manually?

Thanks,

Hello,
I'm using Drupal 7 and wanted to have rather extended profiles for a membership site. The member profile would best be grouped into different sections or groupings. In Drupal 6 we didn't even have fields that could be added to Users, you would use Content Profile and CCK.

Hello all,
I'd like to see if I could setup a means to display a different menu depending on whether the user is logged in or not. I might want a very basic menu when a user is just a visitor. This is a members only site. So, once they do login they could see all the many features. If they are just visiting the site, they'd see a link to Join or a Login link if they are a member.
