Flexinode and check_output

Until recently I have been using the following to print formatted text from a field in flexinode:

<?php print check_output($node->flexinode_20); ?>

flexinode_20 is text field

The problem is even when I have "Full HTML" checked check_output() is stripping all HTML I put in the field. Has anyone had this problem or figured it out? Thanks and major props to anyone that can help me out.

How to create hor. tabs as the ones on 'Downloads' page?

Hi,

Is there a module that allows the creation of the horizontal tabs on the node/page. I like to create tabs just the same as for example the download page has (see http://drupal.org/project). These are horizontal tabs for 'Drupal project', 'Modules', ...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Manually updating all feeds at once?

Is there a way to cause all feeds to update on demand?

I have multiple Drupal sites with feeds on various subjects for general news reading. Kind of my own RSS readers on steroids. Most of them are configured to update every 2-12 hours depending on the news source (via cron). However, sometimes I want them to all be current, say when I have time to read them all.

footer bug?

Having problems with the footer displaying corretly. It will display correctly on some pages, but not most. Originally, everything was plugging along just fine. I've installed Acidfree, Organic Groups, and Webform. While working with Acidfree, I got all sorts of odd blank nodes that were not deletable. So, I went though the admin/content interface and deleted them that way. That's when things started acting screwy. This was not the first time I had gone through and done this, but it did something odd this time (I guess).

Suddenly, the footer started displaying at the bottom of the lefthand blocks column, under the content, instead of at the bottom of the page. It displayed correctly on some pages, those with text in the in nodes like... the front page. But, on other admin pages, it does not display correctly.

I tried disabling the cache, which would work for a couple of pages. I then re-enabled it, and the problem came right back. I cleared my computer's cache, which did not help. I tried switching themes, which still did not work. I took a look using Fofire, IE, and Netscape, and the problem was in all 3 broswers. Then, I went through and manually removed all the blank nodes I could find in Acidfree. That relieved one display problem, but none else. Then, I emptied the cache table via MySQL, which oddly enough, made admin/settings display correctly, but admin/ is still not displaying corretly.

show content with "WIDTH=auto"

Hi,

I have a problem, I'm struggling with for a while...
I want, that if I create a content like a page or a BlogEntry, the size of the content will be the resolution of the screen of the visitor, because I don't want to put every content into a iframe or HTML-table with maybe 800pixel... of course...

I thought that I have to put "WIDHT=auto" or "WIDTH=100%" somewhere, but if I put it into the style.css of my theme, it doesn't change anything. So if I just type hundreds of signs in a row, it won't break the line and my window will be too wide.

Taxonomy terms appearing in the nodes

Hello

I’ve tried searching on the support forums and the handbooks for the answers to my questions, but I just can’t find them, so I decided to post them here.

I’m using taxonomy to classify the content of the site I’m trying to build. But I wanted to keep this taxonomy I’m using invisible to the users of the site… Can’t I just use the terms in the vocabularies as an internal structure. Here’s a small example:

Vocabulary #1
--Site structure
----Biography
----Achievements

Vocabulary #2
--People
----Einstein
----Picasso

These two vocabularies are note related in the real world, apart from being this site’s structural units. Apart from that I’m reluctant in referring Picasso and Einstein as “People”, I’d rather place them in more specific tags, like “20th century artists” or “20th century scientists”. You can imagine the visitors of this site being shocked by its categorization… ;o)

That what I’d like to have was the combination of these two vocabularies not showing in the nodes of the site.

The other question I have is also related to the taxonomy. Imagine this vocabulary:

Vocabulary #5
--40’s
----1940
----1941
----….
----1949
--50’s
----1950
----….
And so on…

I use a “time stamp” in some nodes by selecting the years (not the decades!) from the vocabulary terms, for example: The node (page) is about a certain art exhibition that repeated itself every year from 1948 to 1951, so I selected 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951.
