How to get Google Map coordinates by address ?

Greetings,

I've installed profile.module, gmap.module, gmap_location.module, I have Country and City fields in user's profile and I need to get GMap coordinates by these fields ... So, I don't want user to go to Location map page and enter his address to get coordinates I would like to do it automatically when user saves his profile information.

So, I want his Country and City fields concatinated together to be used as google address to receive coordinates and save them to location table. How can I do that ?

Thanks.

Adding "output format" functionality to Drupal

I've begun to notice that I'm repeatedly encountering situations in which it would be very nice if Drupal had functionality that could define "output formats" similarly to the way it defines "input formats."

Input formats provide a variety of options for how people ENTER information and then perform manipulations which process the result into HTML. However, HTML is only one of multiple possible output formats for a node's text. Here are some others:

  • Plain text, suitable for emailing
  • RSS
  • XML
  • PDF
  • MS Word
  • Other formats.

The problem of output formats is a little different from input formats. Input formats perform processing on a SINGLE FIELD of a node (most commonly, the "body" field), whereas output formats should also handle processing of ALL fields of a node. (For example, an output format that produces XML output for an "event" would need to put XML tags around fields attributes such as start date, location, etc.)

Here's how I imagine this could work. Currently, Drupal's input formats work through the hook filter, with the following parameters:

hook_filter($op, $delta = 0, $format = -1, $text = '')

Suppose we also had "hook_output_filter," as follows:

hook_output_filter($op, $delta=0, $text = '')

This would make it possible to define output formats such as "HTML to plain text" for processing of individual fields.

Prevent bug in theme by changing drupal.css ?

there is a problem with the theme "fancy". menus are getting very large when the are submenus.

example :

___menu
________submenu1
_______________submenu2

now i finally found a way to reduce the space, but not in the theme but in the original misc/drupal.css file.
since it now works fine and all other themes are also ok, i wonder if this should be changed in official drupal release.

In the original misc/drupal.css at line 50 add:
padding-left: 10px
margin-left: 0px

HELP! suddenly my blocks are missing

I went to my site this morning. For a change, I wasn't logged in. I saw what everyone else sees. The font sizes are off, the navigation block isn't supposed to be there, the following blocks are missing: Areas of Expertise, Resources , Polls / Surveys. This is supposed to be an article where "page not found" is showing.

Here is the catch --- when I log in, the blocks and missing article appear.

If you are in the mood to lend a hand, pls go to http://idcminnovations.com and take a look.

Any suggestions?

SUGGESTION: What about versioning and dependencies inside modules?

Hope, I am at the right location. Just had an idea, which I like to post and hope, that someone feels responsible ...

Actually I build up a side with a huge amount of neccessary modules. At the beginning I had a lot of error messages, that this module needs that and another one does not operate without this one, and as a result of a check one module has to be updated from version 1.something to 2.something.

And I scroll through a big list with modules, try to find dependancies and whatever.

So.

I would like to have a list, in which I can see version numbers. In which I can see which module needs which and which module does not like this or that.

Before I start changing the whole source of Drupal (hahaha) for myself, I think about wheather it would not be an idea to integrate such a mechanism inside the community of developers (in which I feel integrated).

What about an additional hook into the modules with data to be embedded (by module's developer) of the version, the dependant modules, modules that may interfer with this module?

Let me be more precise, giving a possible hook (data is only for example):

function modulename_moddep()
{
$moddep = array();

$moddep['version'] = '1';
$moddep['subversion'][] = '2';
$moddep['subversion'][] = '3';

// So module's Version could be read as 1.2.3

$moddep['dependancy'][] = 'category';

How to hook the User Registration and Password Change functions

Hi All,

I was just hoping for a little feedback on a change I'd like to make to my intranet Drupal site. I'm a php newbie but I've been an app developer for over 15 years. I've been building Drupal sites for about 18 months now.
