Views, arguments and pathauto URLs

By sectornitad on

Hi -

I have a CCK content type 'Person' which displays on a Pathauto aliased URL thus:

http://[domain]/person/John-Smith

I have also created a Block View to display under the main content. The Block View pulls in other fields one of which is a Taxonomy Name. I need to pull the 'John-Smith' from the URL, strip out the '-' and then filter the Block View with 'John Smith' against the Taxonomy Name. This is proving impossible.

Any ideas greatly received. Thanks.

Meta Tags in drupal 7

By mklynx on

Hi everybody.

I was not happy with any of the solution for getting meta tags in drupal 7. Even the modules out there are not yet fully functional.
So i create some code my self to get this in my site. I would like to share what i have done.

First i created a new content type called Meta tags. This content type consists of

title : Used for the URL of the page where you want to add the meta tags to , no base path allowed.
field_meta_description : Used for the meta tag description you only put the description in here no formatting.
field_meta_keywords : Used for the meta tag keywords you only put the keywords separated by a comma in here no formatting.

Then i created a custom theme and copied the html.tpl.php to there. ( You can also move it to the theme you already use )
I edited this template from the following lines 

<head profile="<?php print $grddl_profile; ?>">
<?php print $head; ?>

to this


print $grddl_profile; ">

<?php
// start custome code for the meta tags.
// meta tags are set in a node type meta_tags
// the title has to be the last part of the url
// if the url is not found the stanaard text is used.

$url = $_GET['q'];

How to set user login block to only show up for admins

By Cameronls on

Hello,
I want to effectively hide the user login block from visitors to the site and only make it available for administrators but I can't seem to get it right.

I had disabled the User login block in hopes that it would only show up when someone tried to login as a user (http://www.thrivinginlife.org/?q=admin).

My client was able to click on the link I sent him and login as an admin no problem. But when I tried to login on my laptop to help walk him through adding some content, I kept getting the "Access Denied" page. When I got home, I tried to log in on Firefox and got the "Access denied" page.

Luckily, I'm currently logged in on a browser on my desktop at home on Safari because I haven't logged out since I first started building the site a few days ago. Since I was still logged in on Safari, I moved the login block back on to the page and set it for Administrators only and had the same problem.

I changed it to all users and set it to only show up on the "?q=admin" page and only get the "Access Denied" page again.

If I set the block to be available for all users and only on the "front" page it still wont show up on the ...?q=admin page but then it does show up for anyone visiting the homepage of the site.

Any ideas?

Creating custom style for single menu

By nsteen on

Hi,

I am currently building a theme for a new Drupal7 installation.
I created two extra regions in the theme, but that shouldn't be the problem.

Now I want to show a custom created menu in one of the regions, that's also working:
I click structure, blocks, and add the menu I created to the region I want it to be in.

But now; our designer came up with his very own style for that menu. Only that menu should be styled that way: The link items are completely differently styled, and the "container div" (the block self) has some fancy borders.
