Ask Agaric: Page not publishing

I just added a member but it says that it is not public:
http://example.com/member-organization/council-canadians

please make it public and give me back authorization to publish.

I'll be providing way more detail than necessary in an educational, about Drupal manner...

For this problem simply, when editing the page or creating it in the first place, click on publishing options (right above the Preview/Submit buttons) and select Published, and submit.

Ask Agaric: Unable to edit a page

I also can't edit this page:
http://example.com/but-i-can-see-revisions

three users all created 11 weeks 11 hours ago had the role of "submin" -- here they are and their last access.

We probably weren't clear enough at all, but submin (borrowing from the modesty, falsely or not, of Subcomandante Marcos) is the user we grant all powers to-- just blindly checking off every box, because that makes it easier for us.

Adding CSS IDs and anchor name fragment to a node title in teaser lists

I want to be able to have a link to http://example.com/big-ol-teaser-list-of-drupal-nodes#node-123 so I go to the right space on the page.

I would say what Drupal version I'm using, but I'm ashamed to say it's 4.7.

How to Disable Comments

Agaric's posted this before, this page should be consolidated with another one somewhere else, but people keep asking...

You can disable comments by going to Administer » Content » Content Types, and then on Blog Post (or the content type of your choice) edit it and make sure comments are off by default. You can also turn off comments on a given post (while editing it) under 'comment settings' I think.

Ask Agaric: Why can't I post content? (Login issue)

To a user:

When you have to get the replacement login it's because you'd forgotten your permanent password, and your regular password is wiped out when you use the temporary login. So when you use the link or temporary password to login you have to replace it with the password you want by taking the opportunity to set a new password.

Displaying Long Title Tooltips in Firefox 2

firefox view long alt tags
firefox long title text

What I actually wanted to search for (Firefox correctly doesn't display alt text unless the image doesn't display) was:

firefox view long title tags

And with some digging (no direct hit in Google, but another page linked there) the plugin I needed to display the long title tags often used by webcomics to stick in another joke:

Workflow improvements on server, SVN repository structure

From the Agaric archives way back in April:

  1. How to set up - or automatically create - "site@example.com" e-mails.

  2. Automatically "svn update" on specific test-sites directories (or would this have to be for all of test-sites, and so we need a different directory structure?) upon checking in a change to a site theme.

Drupal does not find example.com folders that are inside subdirectories.

So Dan, what that means is we have to decide whether we want a possible

Email and domain hosting on separate servers: MX Record Troubles and Solution

Setting MX Records Correctly to have e-mail accounts and forwarding handled on one server while the domain name and web site are handled by other servers.

(First Step: Setting them at all)

You MUST create an MX record with the A record for the domain (usually straight domain: example.com) for which you need e-mail.

Once this was set correctly as described below it worked despite the 'unknown RCPT TO' error message in the DNS report.

I can log into and get e-mail from test@example.org (with password test), but new mail I send doesn't get there.

Properly installing Subversion on Apache2 with SSL

Getting Subversion (SVN) to work on Apache 2, and apparently doing it right means SSL is involved.

debian latest version of svn
apt-get install subversion
not that Debian has the latest version.

  • all that not so relevant.

subversion apache configuration

Solution:

Apache2 SSL and Subversion in Debian on the freaks unidos wiki.
