Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] button to pass value & default lookup

[Jough D. <jou...@gm...>]

Our SOP for new Drupal projects is to create a project module by which
we can override certain Drupal behaviour with its hook system.

I don't know of an easier way to interface custom code with Drupal
without using the mechanism that was designed for extending Drupal.  I
suppose your module functions can call other custom code and you can
just use the hooks to grab the piece of Drupal you want to override.

I know what you mean about not wanting to have to learn Drupal.  The
learning curve for the hook system is pretty steep, and if you're not
investing long-term into your Drupal skills for multiple projects you
probably won't get a lot of ROI for the time you spend learning this
stuff.

I'd recommend downloading a few small modules and using them as an
example.  The "privatemsg" module for allowing users to send messages
to each other uses a lot of the Drupal hooks in a way that may be, if
not obvious, then easier to understand in context.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] button to pass value & default lookup

[derby <der...@gm...>]

The pathauto is an essential drupal module.  Great recommend.  I don't
know much about writing php inside drupal.  You might be interested in
the workflow module and possible the views module.

The workflow module allows you to setup actions triggered by an event,
such as a new bid in your case.

The views module allows remolding the display of your drupal data to
present information outside the normal drupal way.

Hope that helps.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] button to pass value & default lookup

[Jough D. <jou...@gm...>]

Is this Drupal 5 or 6?  The forms API is a little different for each,
but basically you want to look at using "hook_form_alter" to alter the
form you want, or the form API to build a form that can be submitted.

The Path Auto module will allow you to create the path you want.  It's
a pretty common module and we use it in a number of our Drupal
projects.

[chiPHPug-discuss] button to pass value & default lookup

[Neil R. <Nei...@rc...>]

I'm building a system in drupal in which Vendors submit Bids against 
Tenders.  (Vendor, Bid, & Tender are content types.)
I want to put a button on the bottom of the Tender page "Submit Bid", 
which will take the user to the New Bid page with the Tender as the 
default in the Tender node reference field, and the Vendor associated 
with the user in the Vendor node reference field.

Also, when the new Bid is completed, I want to path it 
/tender/bid/#### finishing the path with the id# created by the user.

(This looks like it'll take some PHP.  I'm a lot stronger in PHP than 
in drupal, so that's not intimidating, but I don't want to get 
twisted up in the drupal API any more than I have to.)

Does anyone have suggestions or examples?

[chiPHPug-discuss] [Fwd: programmers + journalism = ??]

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

Forwarding to the Chicago PHP User Group as requested:

-------------------------- Original Message --------------------------
Subject: programmers + journalism = ??
From:    "Rich Gordon" <ri...@no...>
Date:    Fri, January 9, 2009 11:40 am
To:      chi...@l-...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings.  I teach journalism at the Medill School at Northwestern
University, and we have a cool (and perhaps a little crazy) program
offering
scholarships to programmer/developers to earn a master's degree in
journalism at our school.  I am interested in plugging this program to
your
CHIPHPUG members - through your normal e-communication channels as
well as
(if you're interested) via making a presentation (as little as 2 mins,
longer if you think there'd be an appetite) about this program.



Wondering if this is possible?  Here's a short blurb about what we're
up to:





The Medill School at Northwestern University, one of the nation's top
journalism schools, has a unique opportunity for skilled
programmer-developers: full scholarships to attend our one-year master's
program.  The scholarships, financed through a grant from the John S. and
James L. Knight Foundation, cover tuition, academic and living expenses.
Students can enroll starting in June or September 2009, or January 2010.
You can learn more about the scholarships on our Web site at
http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/admissions/programmers.html.  For
questions about the scholarship program, feel free to contact me at
ri...@no....



In the first three calendar quarters, scholarship winners study the
craft,
culture and process of journalism - reporting, writing and
storytelling - as
well as choosing from a variety of elective courses.  In their final
quarter, the "programmer-journalists" enroll in one of our innovation
courses, in which they collaborate with other master's students to invent
something new and relevant to journalism and media.  The team
including the
first two scholarship winners just wrapped up by launching News Mixer
(http://www.newsmixer.us), a site designed to engage young adults in
conversation and interaction around the news.  You can read more about
News
Mixer at
http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/studentwork/archives.aspx?id=110531.
(And check out the reaction the project has been getting:
http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2009/01/news-mixer-generates-widesprea.html. )



Why are we doing this?  Simple.  The world of media and journalism is
changing rapidly.  People who understand coding and journalism are in
great
demand now -- at traditional media companies as well as startups. 
Newsrooms
want journalists who can help figure out the best way to present
data-driven
stories on digital platforms. Media companies want people who can build
better systems for news production and distribution.  Startup
companies want
developers who understand how people use and consume information. And
there
are endless opportunities to create new digital products that engage
audiences with information they need to be citizens.  With programming
experience and a master's degree from Medill, the scholarship winners
will
be perfectly positioned to help invent the future of media and
journalism.

[chiPHPug-discuss] [Opportunity] Website Based Calculator App

[Jough D. <jou...@gm...>]

A friend of a friend asked me to pass this on.

If you're interested, you can contact "Robyn Nisi
<rob...@ya...>" directly.

----------------------------

We're thinking about putting a calculator-like application (similar to
those "calculate your mortgage"-type jobs) on our website that can
tell you your likelihood for getting certain types of cancer based on
lifestyle, diet, family history etc. Charming stuff, I know.

Here's an example of such a calculator:
http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/12463.cfm

(click "Open Calculator" under "Lung Cancer Prediction Tool")

Do you know anyone (or business) who does this kind of stuff? Someone
who could build it and then be paid monthly for maintenance?

Thanks for your help.

I believe that you make a /tmp directory off your document root...? I'm not
too familiar with running things on windows, but I know there has to be a
directory somewhere that has to be writeable by the apache user. I think in
the one system I worked on the sessions dir was in c:\windows\system\temp.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Sessions error

[Janine S. <jr...@ba...>]

It's in there somewhere, because this is what I get:

http://localhost/phpinfo.php

session

I found it:
session.save_path = "/tmp"

Do I need to physically create a tmp directory somewhere?

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Sessions error

[Janine S. <jr...@ba...>]

I get not found when I do a find for session or session.save.

Where should I put it and what is the syntax?

Thanks!

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Sessions error

[Sara T. <sa...@sa...>]

There should be a session.save_path setting in your php.ini that tells you
where the session temp dir is.

[chiPHPug-discuss] Sessions error

[Janine S. <jr...@ba...>]

I'm trying to install ZenPhoto on my WinXP laptop to test it (running 
Apache1.3.41, PHP5.2.6, mySQL5.0.67).  The admin screen runs but I get 
this error:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]:
open(/tmp\sess_8kr75fk5q9r4cs25sqnqf462h7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file 
or directory (2) in C:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache\htdocs\xxx\zenphoto\zp-core\admin-functions.php on line 9

 From reading the ZenPhoto help forums, it seems to be a problem with 
setting the path to sessions and the fix is contact your host.  
How/where do I set this path?  I don't see anything in php.ini.

Thanks!
Janine

Nothing to be sorry about — its an all-volunteer group, right?  :-)

:djm

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Meeting tomorrow?

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

sorry guys, I was lax in trying to coordinate another one.

Anyone else want to throw it together last minute?

[chiPHPug-discuss] ISO of a linux guy...

[Walter T. <php...@to...>]

I might have a need for a Linux guy in the not too distant future.

I would to have a server installed and configured with:
    * Linux (I'm flavor neutral)
    * Apache
    * FTP (secure)
    * SMTP
    * PHP 5.x
    * Perl
    * mySQL 5.x
    * CVS

I will be using this as an internal testing/staging machine.

There will be a need for ongoing admin as well, from time to time.

Can "you" do this? And how much to do this?

Please let me know.

Walter
