Conditional text

Because it might be useful to have conditional text possibilities in Drupal, I'll try to describe such a scenario; possibly inspiring others. Given time I might develop a conditional text module myself, but it will take a while, as there's still a few skills I need to acquire.

Text might be made conditional to documents intended for different audiences or media. Imagine you were writing general documentation about Drupal, and needed to discuss Drupal forms. There's quite a difference in the way forms are handled between versions prior to v 4.7 and subsequent versions. So two books are required, but tracking changes manually between the two different books is error-prone, time-consuming, and laborious.

Imagine conditional text working in a Drupal environment as follows:

Most of the text is common to both documents, and remains unaltered.

Text conditional to v4.7 is selected (somehow, not very relevant, lots of possibilities) and high-lighted with a pleasant green tint. Similarly text unique to v4.6 is high-lighted as a pleasant red.

Near Preview / Submit are check-boxes labelled 'v4.7' and 'v.4.6'; Each box include/excludes the conditional version from rendering upon Preview/ Submit.

Another checkbox toggles the colored high-lighting on or off, at render-time.

In terms of mark-up, the selections are simple spans, supported by a style-sheet.

Download Audio by Members Only

Hi,

I wish for my huge library of mp3 audio to only be available to members who have registered with the site.
Or even better, anyone can listen but audio is only available for download by members.

I'm trying the audio.module and having some problem securing my audio.

Document Management with BLOB and MySQL

I have a script from Mitchell Harper that is aimed at managing documents with MySQL and BLOB. I am not able to make it work - if anybody wants to give it a shot I can send it to you!

Let me know.

Picking image in popup with Gallery2

Hi all. I'm working on embedding G2 in Drupal, which works great. I'd like to pop-up a window that will let a user pick a photo from an album.
1. I can create a pop-up window that shows an album. No prob.
2. I'd like to put a link into the template for G2 that will create text into the origial window, much like the img_assist module in Drupal. I haven't done this, but I know how to get this to work, so I'm not worried about it.
3. I'd like the hide the link that writes back to the parent window if the user isn't viewing the page where they pick the image. For instance, my users can use the galleries in other parts of the website where they aren't trying to pick an image. It doens't make any sense for the 'Pick this image' link on these pages.

I thought I'd try to append a name / value pair to the end of the url that opens the popup window. So, that raises two issues that I don't know how to deal with in Gallery.
1. How to test for the existence of the name / value pair and test in the HTML? how does the variable get into smarty so I can do something like {if $my_var == ""} create the link.
2. If I can figure out how to create the link and hide it on the pages where it isn't needed, how can I persist the name value pair so it is available if a user clicks to go to another page, like to page two in the pager? I guess I need to append the name/value pair to every link on the page. Is this possible?

On Demand Playback and Streaming

Hi there,

We are in the process of building a website for streaming a radio show as well as providing on-demand. We currently have Streamcast running for the radio and are looking at solutions to deploy 'clips' of the audio that will allow rating of the content only after the clip has been played.
I have several questions:
