Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

I broke my Drupal site

I broke it. :(

OK So all I did was install the banner module. Can't say it went off without a hitch, there was a problem with the /temp directory, and I might not have had the right path to document root - but this isn't about banners not working...

markup solution for 4.7 needed

I've used the wiki input format with 4.6 - it isn't perfect, but does what I require. It doesn't look like wiki.module is supported in 4.7 - is anyone using it on 4.7?
I've tried textile but I suspect that its too complex for my users (maybe I'm wrong), perhaps I should say too feature-rich. Can anyone suggest an input filter that supports basic markup like headings, bold/italic/underline, bullets etc. that works in 4.7.x?

Is there a part 'bout "bread crumbs" in Handbooks?

I tried to locate anything in Handbooks about bread crumbs. But I didn't get it. More over is there a way how to search only Handbooks? Everytime I search I get only links to forum :(

EXIF code snippet

Hi,
I have looked in drupal for a way to display exif information for image nodes in a way as integrated as possible with the modules that I'm using. I couldn't find anything.

My problem was that I had a high number of images (over 100), uploaded to drupal with image_pub, which had the date of the upload instead of the date of the creation. While this is sensible, it creates some problems in the image gallery (image_gallery.module), because over there the images are order by the date in which they are inserted in drupal, not by the creation date.

There might be other ways to address the problem, but what I did was doing a bulk update of the timestamp of my image nodes, to fix the order of the images in the gallery.

This does not solve the situation for new nodes. New nodes will still be created with the current timestamp. I'm going to address the problem another time...

As I have seen that several persons had similar problems, I'm posting here the code that I have used:

<?php

$sql = "select {files}.filename, {files}.filepath, {node}.created, {node_revisions}.timestamp, {node_revisions}.nid,{node_revisions}.vid
from {node_revisions}, {node}, {files}
where {node_revisions}.vid = {node}.vid
and {node}.nid = {files}.nid
and type = 'image'
and {node}.created is not NULL
and {node_revisions}.timestamp is not NULL
order by {node_revisions}.vid DESC";

4.7.3: Feeds Start Downloading

All feeds on the site (just installed) start downloading instead of opening the feed. Site is in the same server with lots of 4.6 Drupals where everything is OK with the feeds.

Searched Drupal for two hours and found nothing to help solve the issue.

Please, advise how to fix it, because this is the main purpose of the site - to offer categorized feeds.

TIA

Some initial CCK questions

I would appreciate some help in figuring out the following. If the answers are clear, I shall submit them as book pages for the CCK section of the handbook to help other users.

For example, if both the manager and designer content types share a salary field, a view could easily be created that shows the salaries of all designers and managers. Similarly, queries can be written to select all nodes that have an end_date field greater than a certain date.

Questions:

  • Exactly how does one share cck fields across content types? To give an example in a nonprofit context, if I use CCK to create a profile node type that has 'Organisation Name' as a field, I think I can potentially share this field across, say a CCK job vacancy node type, a CCK volunteering opportunity node type, a CCK intern opportunity node type, a CCK project proposal node type and so on. Is this done through the duplicate function, or the node reference field? I am guessing it is through the latter, but the steps are not clear.
  • Is there a limit to the number of content types across which a particular field or a set of fields can be shared?
  • If I use the 'Select List' field, is my only option to manually enter the list options or will it work like the 'user group' function in flexinode 4.6 that would pull in the userlist based on roles selected and provide the names in a drop-down?
