General discussion

Hi,

I'm very new to Drupa - only my second day playing around with this CMSl. I'm running Drupal CivicSpace which I understand is based on Drupal 4.6. I've downloaded and implemented the Blix theme and it seems to be working out except for one thing....I can't get my logo to display.

Hey everyone,

I am new to the community so I am still at the bottom end of the learning curve but I was hoping for some advice on this one...

I filed it as a bug here but i am not sure if it is a bug or my mistake. i noticed that array_merge() has its own set of issues most likely due to php 5, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

thx,
thom

p.s. see the bug report for details....

There has been a lot of talk about a drupal installer and even some code. With the installer we get problems like auto-update (dns poisoning ssl), depedency checkings and many more. In fact these are solutions to problems but create new problems themselves.

However, installing is only half the picture. I would like to see a deinsteller as well.

Are there any modules that will check a site for broken links? (search didn't turn up anything) If not, do you know of any free third-party solutions that are "drupal friendly"?

Hi I'd like for the privatemsg module to send a email to the email address on file as soon as a privatemsg is recieved, just one email though.

If I were to call this function on every page, would that do the trick? or would it spam people about unread messages every time a page is loaded?

function _privatemsg_mailalert()

could we do something like

$result = db_query('SELECT COUNT(*) AS c, recipient FROM {privatemsg} WHERE newmsg = 1 AND recipient_del = 0 and remindersent = 0 GROUP BY recipient');

Hi, I am quite new to Drupal and trying to understand it but having some trouble. I am trying to have control over how certain pages of the site look. I have managed to get the user profile page to look customizable by reading through the 'customizing user profile page' section. I notice how this puts something into template.php first which I have no idea why. This I assume makes Drupal bypass everything for user profile page and read the new user_profile.tpl.php only to know what to display. That is except the $title i think. Because if I use a blank user_profile.tpl.php or rename it as something with the template.php stuff still there I get a blank user profile page with the addition of the user name at the top which for me is 'Tom'. So I thought why is it displaying that and how do I get it to say 'Hello Tom' instead of just 'Tom'. I managed to work this out after some time by adding:

<div class="user_profile_title">
<?php drupal_set_title('Hello ' . $user->name); ?>
</div>

to the user_profile.tpl.php file. It didn't seem to work if I added the line to the page.tpl.php file, even though I wouldn't want it in there as I don't want it to say Hello on every page. But I would assume that page.tpl.php doesn't have the overwrite control for the drupal_set_title command.
Anyway, now I am trying to work out how to customize other pages. The next one I'm trying to so is the page you get to when you goto edit from the user profile page. On this 'edit user profile' page I have it saying 'Tom' at the top as a title from the previous page's customized 'Hello Tom'. I want to stop it saying anything fro the edit user profile page. So I read through the theming articles which seem to suggest too many ways to do one thing. I have tried doing the node.tpl.php thing. In particular, because I'm not sure what I would rename the node.tpl.php to be to only affect the edit user profile page, I have tried it on the forum page for now. So I renamed it node-forum.tpl.php to see if it would work on the forum page first. I typed:
