It's perhaps a common task to create a subsection on site, which will reside under sitename.com/subpath. The subsection will contain own menu with a few links (Calendar view, Add MyEvent content type form, Table View). But clicking these links will lead out of this /subpath. Is there a know solution for this (to stay in subsection)? ...

It has the URL properties of: index.php?q=recipe/%1/%2 where %1 is the recipe category, for example, breakfast, and %2 is the recipe name, for example, Muffin. The view goes through the recipe node conten...

I was wondering if there is a built in method in Drupal, to link to nodes created by a user. In my case, each and every user can create a node called "profile". I want to add a link in the menu, that links directly to that profile node. I can do it by making a module that just checks for a link, e.g. mysite.com/?goTo=profile and then ju...
I'm new to drupal. Its a very dumb question I guess. I have enabled PHP filter module so that I can create a new page with my own PHP code in it. This particular page I want to be accessible to only authenticated users, not visible to anonymous users. How can I achieve this? Can I set permissions for individual pages in drupal? Or is it...
In Drupal, if you want to insert something into the node table, 'nid' can be null, but 'vid' can't. The inverse is true for the node_revision table. So my question is, in what order are inserts done to the Drupal db when a node is created? i.e. I can't insert into the node table, because I don't have the VID, and I can't insert into th...

Can someone please give me a proper definition for the term? What I know so far is that it is an input box that allows the user to enter any data to categorize something. Is that it? ...
Hi there, I have made a custom node type for event registration. I have used themes (template.php to all a custom tpl.php for the form) to customise the look of the form. Using workflow and actions / triggers, people can register for my event, and the event manager gets a notification email and can log in and see a view of who has reg...
Do "State Machines" used in Workflow-NG module (D5) have any visual interface (in node form or whatever)? Or they are totally internal entities that I can only set and evaluate? The initial objective behind question was to send emails based on changed node status (taxonomy based). If these State Machines are cumbersome, I can probably ...
I'm working on a Drupal based system that will not be directly handling login processing. Rather, another system will be handling the user authentication and transmitting the data directly into Drupal via a GET parameter. Can I hook into a function that will process that GET parameter and verify the User? I'm coming into the develop...
Currently you can only assign field groups to cck fields created on a content type. I want to be able to assign a field group to all the standard items (title, description and taxonomy) so as to group them together. Is there a way to do this without doing a form_alter? ...

I have a Drupal site that currently displays comments in threaded, reverse chronological order. I am trying to change it to work like Reddit/Hacker News, where the threads and comments within each thread are instead ordered by their current score, based on a voting system I've added. I've found the query used to render the comments rig...
