Placing banners, blocks, and other content within node content

By oziumjinx on

We are trying to display blocks embedded within node content. These blocks will contain either the banner module function, or the Google AdSense content.

The difficulty we are having is that all of the nodes with this embedded block are aggregator2 feed items. Since we can't really see the content coming through the feed until it is published, I'm not sure where to insert the block div tags.

Clean URL support when parent web directory

By micoots on

Hi,

I'm very new to Drupal and have only started using it since yesterday.

I've done some trouble-shooting on this problem but can't resolve it.

I'm trying to use the "Clean URLs" option in "Administrator -> Settings" but
it fails with the error:

It appears your host is not configured correctly for Clean URLs. Please
check for ModRewrite support with your administrator.

I have Drupal installed off a parent website:

http://www.domain.com

where the drupal files actually exist, and _not_ through a subdirectory like:

http://www.domain.com/drupal

If I install Drupal into the subdirectory on the same server, the Clean URLs
option works fine. If I install Drupal into the parent directory of the web
server, drupal fails with the error above.

In my apache config, when I have the parent server setup, I have the
following entry:

UseCanonicalName off
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/domain/public_html/%0

which allows me to have alias directories like:

/home/domain/public_html/www.domain.com
/home/domain/public_html/hostname1.domain.com
/home/domain/public_html/hostname2.domain.com

so when someone goes to "http://www.domain.com" apache maps them to the:

/home/domain/public_html/www.domain.com

directory, and when they visit "http://hostname1.domain.com", apache maps
them to the:

/home/domain/public_html/hostname1.domain.com

How to weight free-taging terms per node?

By doq on

Hi.

I have created new free-tagging vocabulary of book authors.

e.g. I will enter Author2, Author1 in freee-tag edit box.

The problem is that it'll appear as Author1, Author2.

How do I beat this. Custom coding maybe?

Add authentication to registration?

By hofo on

Hi,

I would like to be able to restrict user registration on a site to the known members of an organization. I will have a list of names and the membership card number that they've been given. I'd like to be able to automatically query this list (in whatever form necessary) when the user attempts registration. If their name and number match what I know to be valid I'll let them in, otherwise deny. Anybody know of a module that has this capability? If not, anyone want to take a shot as to what would be necessary to do this?

Thanks.

2 textfields in single line using 4.7

By fatfish on

Hi there.
I'm trying to display in a form a phone number that displays as 2 text fields.
one for aria number, a " - " sign and then the next text-field.
I'm having trouble with themeing the whole concept since the second text field should be displayed in the same line as the first one, and without any title.

What to do ?
(the whole thing is for displaying it right - the content is stored in a single column separated by "-")

[4.7-RC-2] Script Timeouts When Saving Settings

By drupallover-1 on

Hello,

I'm running drupal 4.7RC-2 on a RH EL 4, Apache 2.0, PHP Version 4.3.9, MySQL 4.1.12

Also, I'm using about 50 contributed modules (4.7.x branch) and a few contributed modules from HEAD (actions, audio, cck, image, location, tinymce, video, workflow).

PROBLEM:

[1] Running as drupal 'root' user (id == 1) and 'Save permissions' button is clicked on /drupal/admin/access page:

Apache Error Log:
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/menu.inc on line 600, referer: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/drupal/admin/access/1

And this blank page source is returned:

<html><body></body></html>

However, the changes to the settings do get saved and can be accessed by clicking on the 'access control' submenu item under the 'administer' menu and then selecting the 'Permissions' tab.

[2] This also happens on /drupal/admin/modules after 'Save configuration' is clicked:

Apache Error Log:
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/menu.inc on line 603, referer: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/drupal/admin/modules

And this blank page source is returned:

<html><body></body></html>
