Deprecated - Drupal core

Hi,

I am hoping someone with programming experience can offer a non-programmer some assistance with this problem. It seems to me to be a Drupal core problem...so I hope that I am in the right place.

I have previously submitted this issue to another forum in relation to a specific module (but I have encountered this problem generally and previously).

I am (in seemingly random circumstances), unable to create directories, select directories for upload, and I am too often told that directories don't exist when they do.

I would like to fix this problem so that I can re-install the following modules which I have removed since the problem got worse:

image.module; video.module; video_bonus.module (including panels.module).

I include the following to offer a contextual scenario including relevant 'Warning/Error' messages, to assist with diagnosis.

It is worth noting, that most of the trouble seems to centre around a directory called '.../files/' and its sub-directories; specifically 'images', '1' and '2' (directories 1 and 2 were placed by Gallery2). I can do nothing with these directories. Changing Permissions, Names, or attempting to Delete these directories returns a 'fatal error' message within cPanel (version number below).

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide

Regards

In common with lots of people I guess, I've always got an eye on minimising calls-to-database and other unnecessary processor loads so I hope I'm missing a trick here.

I'm wanting to control the visibility of a block - by content type - which houses PHP code. Surely I don't have to call-up yet another instance of a node to determine the content type of the page I'm on?

Hi,

As an introduction, I'm not very intimately familar with Drupal, even less so with internal wiring. I do some research on the 'next generation CMS systems' and evaluating available solutions in terms of their 'extensibility' potential towards Web 2.0 interface. So, my Drupal terminology can be way off in some cases....

The main question I have is this. I wonder if there is some ongoing initiative to expose some of the 'module' API through the web, eg through RESTish interface? If not, I wonder how hard it is to implement? The sketch of an idea is:

- expose existing API (if it's flexible enough) through RESTish calls, ideally JSON based (so that returned data can be used by JS 'as is')
- using any of the JS/AJAX libraries available right now in abandance (jQuery, which Drupal community seems to have decided on for 5.0 release is a good one), create a set of 'pluggable' JS components which would allow to manipulate CMS content through remote calls to achieve a higher level of functionality currently available in http://modxcms.com/ (in terms of 'online content editing').

In a rough, the idea is, in case your role priveleges allow:
- 'inject' placeholders into the page content (eg, add 'edit' link at the top right corner of each menu section, block, paragraph, etc) from the _font end_ (through JS manipulation of the page DOM tree - what jQuery is already doing)
- placeholders provide AJAX access to the (major?) editing functions of the element they are attached to (eg, placeholder in the 'block' will allow you to add new item to the block, etc) WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR CURRENT VIEW (ie, through context menu or DHTML popup window)

Greetings.

I have installed views.module and have a strange problem: when I created a view I received a message "View successfully added." and NO view has beed created. All view_ tables are empty and no errors displayed.

What is the problem ? Which requirments I didn't meet ?

Thanks.

Here is a problem I have: I need to display a new tab "group songs" for only organic group node, where song is a content type created by Flexinode. I would like to display a table of songs which belong to this group. I created a page type view with argument URL just like this "node/$arg/songs", but I can't use it as ususal because it will be displayed for all nodes.

So, I did the following:
1. I've unchecked Page checkbox
2. Created my own module with hook_menu() to produce necessary tabs for og nodes

The current javascript tools collection of modules has some very interesting functionality, however with 5.0 coming jQuery will be handling Drupal's javascript functionality. What I'm wondering is if I use the current javascript tools to develop site functionality, will that break with 5.0? How good is jQuery? Am I better off just waiting before I implement features like dynamic(ajax) loading of tabs and menus?
