Drupal iphone

Submitted by GeorgeS on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 12:57

 So, if you want an iPhone-enabled version of your Drupal website, all you have to do is install the http://drupal.org/project/iui   iUI Drupal Theme, and then switch to the iUI theme when the user visits your mobile-enabled website. You could do that by either a small hack in settings.php, or one of the many modules out there that changes the theme based on the user agent or the domain.

Drupal PayPal

Submitted by GeorgeS on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 12:51

A client of mine had an issue with PayPal checkout option not working correctly. Site with eCmmerce 5.x-3.3, This was working correctly before. The issue was when a customer were sent to PayPal.com they were not presented with an option to pay via credit card. They are forced to login or create a PayPal account. My guess is that the field "PayPal processing URL:" needs to be changed. Which it turn out to be pointing to an incorrect URL.  The answer was to  go to https://www.paypal.com/xclick/

Drupal adding own css class in taxonomy terms links

Submitted by GeorgeS on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 12:32

Hi want to add some own css class in taxonomy terms links (depending on vocabulary), and change links order (depending on
vocabularies too).

"How?" is the question!

- link_alter hook doesn't seem to be the right place because I don't find any param to add css class, and it doesn't play with
links order.
- it's possible to modify $terms html string in the preprocess_node function (in template.php), but it's doesn't sound like a
clean way...

Installing Drupal right

Submitted by GeorgeS on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 12:17

I have been asked recently what is involved in installing Drupal.

So what is involved in installing Drupal exactly?

  • Create MySQL and a user with full privileges to only that database. You can do this in one of three ways - using a control panel provided by your hosting company ( like cpanel ) , using phpMyAdmin ( recommended), or using the command line.
  • Download Drupal, and unpack the tarball. Again, you have several options for making this happen. You can use FTP, download it via the command line, or use CVS.
  • Make sure the settings file is filesystem-writable.
  • Point your browser at the Drupal installation.
  • Create your first users.

    Mollom is Drupal's Automated Spam Detection Tool, and it is brilliant !

    Mollom is a module that requires an "API" key, a specific Random string of characters to communicate between a website and central reporting server.

    Mollom is a new service started by Benjamin Schrauwen and Dries Buytaert, creator and project lead of Drupal. This automatically scans the content of comments and preventing obvious spam from even being posted to the website.

    Mollom support blocking not just comment spam but also spam from the contact form
