Anyone else seeing the ical16x16.gif not found in the Upcoming Events block? the file is right there in my modules/event/images directory, but I'm getting error messages in the log like this:

drupal/taxonomy/term/modules/event/images/modules/event/images/ical16x16.gif not found.

Running 4.7 beta6 with Events and Pathauto. Any chance those two modules aren't playing nice together?

Thanks.

I'm using the front page module with the bluemarine theme and have anonymous users blocked from accessing content. However, when I view the front page as an anonymous user the Edit primary links hyperlink is displayed. What do I have to do to remove that from the front page for anonymous viewers? www.kpsinfo.com is the site if you want to see what I'm referring to. Thanks.

Can somebody please help? I am having frustrating difficulty understanding how to retrive data from a result set in a drupal query. I am using db_query and db_fetch_array. This does not display anything. I tested my query using the mysql commandline and it worked fine. Can somebody please help me understand why this is not working?

Hello everyone,

I'm having a couple of problems:

1) I'm trying to make a way for non-members to still see inside the site, yet not post, email, contact, etc. until they become approved members. How can this be done?

2) I've activated the invite module, and now I can see it ("invite a friend") in my profile, but I can't see it in anyone else's profile, including when I log in as another name. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have installed Drupal here http://www.patel.com.au/drupal

Username and password both are "demousr" without the quotes and all in lowercase.

Anyways when I login as administrator and go to settings I get a warning in RED saying

"The directory files is not writable.".

I get the similar error when I go to User Config

"The directory files/pictures is not writable."

I am working on a web site for someone who is a writer and I would like to use Drupal to make it easy for them to add new articles to the site. I am a Drupal newbie. I would appreciate if anyone could reply with some advice on what is the best approach.

Currently, most of the writer's articles are in printed form (i.e., from newspapers & magazines), so they will need to be scanned in. I plan to OCR them so I can take the text and put that in each node. That's the easy part. The hard part is deciding how to display images of the articles.

One option I found was that I could use the upload_image module and attach an image of each scanned page of the article to the node. This creates preview images that appear in the node that can be clicked on to view the larger images, each in their own node. I thought it would be great if I could come up with something like this:
http://piecesinc.com/node/316
My main issue with this approach is what to do if the article is several pages long. Visitors might get annoyed if their is a six-page article and they have to click on an image, go back, click on another image, etc., to see all of the article page images. I saw some snippets that allow you to create previous/next links. However, can these be restricted to just the images that were uploaded with a specific node?

It might also be possible for the writer to obtain PDF files of the article from the editor. In this case, how would I go about making a thumbnail in a node and linking it to a PDF attached to the node?
