Forums and discussions

Discussion forums, sometimes called as message boards or bulletin boards, allow your users to participate in online conversations by posting responses. These conversations differ from chatrooms in that they are organized into subject-based threads and archived.

Entityform Notifications and Emails

Entityform uses the Rules module for its notification system. When editing an Entityform Type, you can select rules to be run upon saving an Entityform Submission under the Notifications Settings tab for the Entityform Type. Rules and Rules Components that are tagged with "entityform submission" will be shown in this list.

Installation

  1. Install and enable Rules and Rules UI. Note: if Rules UI is disabled, then the Entityforms Rules will not show up.
  2. Install and enable Entityforms.
  3. Create an Entityform Type.
  4. Click on the Notifications Settings tab.
  5. Configure the notification settings as desired.

Note: there are also settings at Configuration » Content authoring » Entityform settings. (I assume these are for defaults that will be used when creating a new Entityform Type, but this needs confirmation from the module maintainer.)

Entityforms Rules

There two default Rules that come with the module:

  1. Email Entityform Submitter: Sends an email to the submitter.

Leaflet

  • API for displaying data on a map

Installing Julio

Installing Julio is very similar to a regular Drupal install. If you have installed Drupal before, installing Julio will be very familiar.

These detailed instructions are targeted toward people who are not familiar with Drupal installs, and/or are not comfortable using the command line.

To install Julio, you'll need the following:

  • The Julio installation package, available for download at the the Julio project page;
  • Administrative access to your web host, including the ability to create a new database and a new database user;
  • An SFTP client (WinSCP and Filezilla are two good ones, if you don't have one already).

In addition to the minimum requirements for a Drupal installation, Julio requires PHP 5.3. Additionally, Julio has been tested most extensively on Linux-based systems. Julio works best with 64MB of memory or more for PHP.

Once you have all the prerequisites in hand, you can get started with the install.

  1. Log on to your web host's control panel, and create a new MySQL database. There are many ways to do this; if you are unsure of the best way to proceed, consult with your host's help pages.
  2. Write down name of the new database - you will need this later.
