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

Font Rendering in IE with Xtemplate

By jjanssen on

I have just launched my new website running drupal 4.3.2 and something based on the xtemplate theme. I was having a serious problem with blocks of text being the same color as the background in IE (randomly). I seem to have isolated that problem by altering some of the padding in my css. I have noticed a not as big problem, but similarly annoying, when displaying nodes that contain unordered lists (in IE). Some lines won't render correctly, maybe you can only see half the line, maybe the whole line. The common thread on all the pages it seems to happen on is the unordered list.

Story on more than one page?

By ph4nt0m-1 on

I realise if you're going to add a fairly sizable story to a site it would probably be best to create a book with the relevant content. However if you have a story which is just too large to place on one page, but just too small to create a new book out of - is there a way to split a story into two pages - such that you have a 'next page' or '1 2' link at the bottom?

Role-based home page and role-based menu using profile.module

By tdailey on

I just got our drupal config working with a role-based home page.

This really isn't hard, but getting it all tuned and working correctly took a bit of time. I think you would take my ideas and easily adapt them to more sophisticated uses.


Role Based home page



What I'm doing here is just using a static page as a home page. You'll need to flag the static page as "Promoted to front page" and "static on front page". Also, it will look better if you change the default story publishing prefs to make all other content not be promoted to the front page by default. While someone could override this, as long as you have control over the content creators, it works well enough. You could certainly hack node.module to do a more clean implementation.

using 'path' to make blocks disappear?

By spiderman on

here's a question i've been pondering for awhile, and haven't really found a solution that satisfies me, so i thought i'd share, and see what others think. ;)

what i'm trying to do seems relatively simple- i have a custom node module much like story.module, that's called 'article'. the article module implements a _block() hook that makes available a block that selects the vocabulary associated with the article node type, and prints a list of the terms therein.

this is all well and good, but by default (once i enable the block) this block is only really useful (to me) on pages related to articles. so for instance, i probably want the block to show up on pages with urls like:

but not on pages with urls like:

or, what's more, i really dont want the article topics block to show up on any urls matching 'node/view/nid' or 'node/edit/nid' unless the nid in question is of type article. but how do i make it disappear only on these pages?

static page link path

By chrislouden on

See htttp://chrislouden.com/drupal/ for my site

How do I create static page link paths. I want to create a static page for my "about" section.

For example
http://www.drupal.org/sites/

rather then use:
http://chrislouden.com/drupal/?q=node/view/1

How do i get it to be http://chrislouden.com/drupal/about/

Checkmail module compatibility w/ Drupal 4.3.2

By Donovan@drupal.org on

Does anyone have the Checkmail module working with Drupal v. 4.3.2? I tried installing it, but it does not show up in the list of configurable modules on my system.
