Hi all,

I just tried to install the Sections Module and when I enabled it I got the following error:

user error: Table 'actnow_civicspace.sections_data' doesn't exist
query: SELECT path, status, visibility, template, weight FROM sections_data WHERE status=1 ORDER BY weight in /users/home/actnow/web/public/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

The Sections Module didn't include an .sql file to execute and the install.txt says I just need to upload the files -- so what have I missed?

Thanks!

Matt

I created the table manually and the module still wouldn't work. I wonder if this module only works on 4.5?

I can't get sections to work on 4.6 either.

I created the mysql tables manually as the .install file doesn't work properly and when I go into the admin section to admin the module it is just blank.

Same thing exactly with me... is anyone use this module, if so on what version of drupal/MySQL/PHP (I'm trying on 4.6.6/5/5.1)?

I've now manually installed the table and got the latest sections.module from the cvs. When I activate sections in admin/modules I now don't get the error messages at the top of the screen and sections appears in the menu under settings, but when I go there I get a blank page...

I too get this error of a blank page when I click on the settings/sections link.

I am using drupal 4.6 and used this MySQL code to enter the table into the database:

CREATE TABLE `sections_data` (
  `sid` int(10) default NULL,
  `name` text,
  `status` smallint(1) default '0',
  `path` text,
  `template` text,
  `visibility` smallint(1) default '0',
  `weight` int(10) default NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Has anyone ever got the sections module to work on drupal 4.6?
I really need to get different styles working in different areas of the website.

I'm now able to do exactly what I want (change theme node by node) by using the taxonomy_theme module and 4.7. It works great with or without clean urls :)

Could you post the details what you did to get it to work with 4.7? Sections is crucial to several projects I have underway!

I'm not trying to use the sections module any more. I'm using the taxonomy_theme module for 4.7. With that I can assign a different theme to each term I've defined, so different sections of the site are classified as a different term (or rather each node in a particular section is given the same term). It seemed to work perfectly straight away on my setup, unlike some other modules I've been struggling with!! Just install taxonomy_theme and play around with it, once you define some terms (admin/categories) you're given the option to assign node to that term when creating or editting the node... hope this helps...

I tried working with the Taxonomy_theme module but came across something: what if I want, for example, node/add/story to be assigned one theme for authenticated users, but another them for an administrative role?

Why? Because I want to create a template for the admin side, and have it be different enough so that novice users aren't scared off. But if a novice is in the admin side, and clicks create content/story, for example, the story input form comes up, but it's wrapped in the template from the reader side.

I've been working on this for about two hours and can't see a clear way out.

Any ideas?
