Caching but not indexing..Strangest thing

blogger27 — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:53:36 +0000

Hi guyz
My site(www.socketshield.com) has been facing problems with google

indexing.When I run the command

site:www.socketshield.com in google,it shows some results. I strongly believe that it is excluding many results.

Beacuse when I run the command(cache:http://www.socketshield.com/2009/07/wimbledon-final-federer-and-roddick.html) which is an internal link of my site,it shows it is

cached on July 4th, however this is not included in indexed pages. This is the case with with many of the internal link. They are cached but doesnt show up in indexed

pages.Is there somethin specific that I had not done. The site as a whole is not cached for quite sometime..That also bothers me..

Please help me resolve this issue.Thanks ahead of time..

thabo.mosenthal — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:21:45 +0000

I have created a Web Links block as an Administrator, which shows on every page. I have also created other users on my site. On the block configuration page, I made sure that the block shows on all role that I have on my site.

The block show fine when I am logged in as an Administrator but doesn't show when I login as other users or when I am not logged in. I want the block to show for all users and when I am not logged in as well.

Band Pages - continuous sound problem

TTT — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:07:15 +0000

Hello @ all,

I am working mainly for bands and record labels. In these websites you are nearly always confronted with the same problem: customers want to have continuous sound playing while navigating through the page. Additionally there might be sections of video-content, which should mute the main player when navigated to, to avoid annoying layering of sound.

I am new to drupal, but would LOVE to use it in the future. I know this subject has been addressed here before, but not recently. So I'd like to refresh the topic and ask for suggestions.

In the last page that I programmed (non-drupal, handcoded), I simply pull all content via ajax into one main div, leaving the little flash player alone. I wrote the player myself and finally managed it to accept play- and pause-commands through a javascript function, so it can be paused/continued by certain content.
this works pretty well, but has the disadvantage that one cannot use the browser's back-button, because of the ajaxed-content. (Unfortunately my customers love back-buttons too)

so, what other possibilities are out there?

- using a popup for the player: this is a no-go. people hate popups more than anything else.

User Permissions

Intrepid402 — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:56:54 +0000

Hey Guys,
So I am trying to build a new website in collaboration with another person. We will be developing content and theme for the website, what privileges are necessary for the other developer to have as much control of the website, but not so much that he will be able to delete my account? I am the admin for the website.

Thank you.

Automatic redirection

Vako — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:36:00 +0000

When a person fills a form, they will be redirected to a Thank-You page based on the Confirmation message or redirect URL link.
However, I need to create an automatic redirection inside the Thank-you Page so after 10 seconds it will take the user to the home page of the site.
Is there any way to accomplish this in the node page that I have created?

In regular HTML pages we can do this with the following line:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="15; URL=http://www.site.com">

thanks!

Tabbed module interface

phpcitizen — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:51:10 +0000

I searched about it, but couldn't find a topic about this idea, if it is a duplicate, sorry in advance.

I really would like to see a tabbed module interface, which each tab handles submitting and loading form data independently in the core of upcoming releases. Even in 6 if possible to integrate. Which will help us to get over our anxiety to click the module link in administration.

Each tab should not have more than 10 entries or another approach to improve performance, load time etc.

I think this will impact developers productivity a lot.

Please send your comments about same or different approaches about this issue.

SQL code to copy field from a table to a another field from a structure of another table.

Junro — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:07:53 +0000

Hello,

I've got a node type "fiche" with a cck Link field (Link module) call , I would like to copy via MYSQL phpMyadmin all the Link field to a new text field I created.

cck Link fields:

Table: content_field_titre_france

field type
vid int(10) UNSIGNED Non 0
nid int(10) UNSIGNED Non 0
field_titre_france_url varchar(255) utf8_general_ci Oui NULL
field_titre_france_title varchar(255) utf8_general_ci Oui NULL
field_titre_france_attributes mediumtext utf8_general_ci Oui NULL

So I would like to copy only the field field_titre_france_title alone from node type "fiche".
In this table, all link fields of all node type are togother.

My new field text is in the table "fiche":
Table: content_type_fiche

Structure:
field_title_france_value longtext utf8_general_ci Oui NULL

So I would like to copy field_titre_france_title in field_title_france_value

Sure value from field_titre_france_title should match (be the same) with value from field_title_france_value.

node124
field_titre_france_title: "supergreen"
-----> field_title_france_value should be "supergreen"! lol

Why is menu tab showing up for wrong content type

ns1371 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:59:03 +0000

Hi All,

A newbie here. I have run across a problem.

I have created a flag (attendance) for a certain node type (event). I created a view to see all attendees of an event and made it a menu tab. While the view is working beautifully for events, the 'attendees' menu tab shows up on non-event type pages too (such as the home page). Ofcourse it shows up blank since that content-type CANNOT have an attendee.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help will be appreciated!

Creating Drupal Forms- Is there any validation? or just a function that I have to write? Can I use AppNitro Machforms?

binjaja — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:43:33 +0000

If I use the FORMS API, where is my data stored? How do I get at it? just write php code to access the database?

I thought the FORMS_API did validation? I would like it to verify that a URL is properly formatted, that an email address is correctly formatted, that a phone number is proper, etc... Does it do that? Or do I have to write my own php code in the form_submit function to get the validation done??
If Forms API does not do validation , I would like to use something like AppNitro MachForm which does all of that...the only problem is I would like to use it as a registration form, and then let Drupal handle the proper emailing to the user to authenticate the registration, and have Drupal provide the "My Account" details. ... I just don't see how this would work because AppNitro Machform saves all the form data to a particular table in the database that I specify. So how would Drupal know about this to handle the "My Account" tab? HELP!?

Similar issue... if I want a CONTACT US page, and the user fills in Name, Address, email, and a text field describing thier problem..how do I get an email notifiying me that the form has been submitted? Do I have to write my own php code in the form_submit function in the forms api? or is there some email module that I use?

Flexifield questions...

stevoyoung — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:26:00 +0000

Flexifield has been great....it does...well what is says it does! Of course I'm trying some other stuff with it and cant seem to get it to work....this is what i need:

Let's assume i have a form that has the following fields....

Node 1
-Field 1
-Field 2
-Field 3 (Flexifield of Node 2)

Node 2
-Field 1
-Field 2
-Field 3 (Flexifield of Node 3)

Node 3
-Field 1

If I create new content from Node 2 i can successfully uses Flexifield to repeat Field 3. This works as expect!

Here is my problem...If I use Node 1 to create new content my Field 3 (flexifield of node 2) doesn't work and my fliexfield of Node 3 also doesn't work.

In plain english this is what i am trying to do...

I need to give the user the ability to repeat a section (let's call it section A) with in a form and also repeat sections within Section A...

does this make sense? Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Attachment Displays link to default node

mnm_mike — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:57:40 +0000

Hi - Got one real important to me as my job is on the line if I don't get this done right!

I've created a Content Type for videos with fields very similar to YouTube. I've used taxonomy to classify the videos. Terms are academics, conferences, speakers, etc... standard university stuff.

I've created a page for each category and assigned that page as path settings in the view.

When I bring up the default page it shows the main video with "related videos" on the right...same as YouTube.

I've set up an attachment display with thumbnails of other videos in the related categories. Each of these have unique nodes. So when I click the image to link to show a related video, I want the other related videos to remain visible, but it goes to the node with just the one video and the related videos are no longer visible.

Is there a way in arguments to force the node of the linked video to display in the default node. In other words, I want to pull the content of the field that holds the video and replace that with a different video and keep the related links on the right.

I am fairly new to Drupal and php for that matter. So if I didn't describe the situation well, it needs to look and function like youTube.

If it were up to me, we'd upload them and be done with it, but my boss has different ideas.

Thanks so much - Mike

Multiple login pages.

infotechnologist — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:25:18 +0000

I have a master login system for the admin. I have it restricted to only showing on the admin pages. What I need are two more registration and login pages.
I need two different ones. I want the admin to stay without having anyone that can register I guess. So they can go to whatever.com/admin and the login page is there.

What I want is 2 more registration pages. As well as two more login pages. One registration/login for each account type (2 types of accounts). I am using Ubercart. What I want to do is have one type of account be able to see one catalog of products, and have another of the accounts see the other category of products.
Is there an easy way to do this?
