I don't know a huge amount about htacess and modrewrite, so I find myself in yet another predicament approaching this new zone for myself.
I will seperate my Inquiries over 2 different questions to allow answers to be on-topic and better targetted to users searching for solutions to their own questions.
This is the second of those 2 inquiries;
I have the following in my htaccess file;
RewriteRule ^install/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ index.php?module=faq&page=howto&program=$1
The concept is that install/abcd/ would call index.php?module=faq&page=howto&program=abcd
That works. It pulls the content, matches it and shows what it is meant to. I have used server variables to show me what is being simulated and it matches up.
However the CSS and images on the page are being stripped as they are relative to the document, not statically assigned.
I am only using htaccess (For Now I guess?) for one solution, with the intention to soon impliment another fairly soon. The intention is to offer our customers easy to read URL's for support purposes, but not rewriting the entire site. SEO isnt a major issue as our site is only to be used by those it is intended for as opposed to a wide audience.
Other than statically assigning css, JS and image files, is there a way to fix this issue so that the page is displayed styled and with the javascript in tact?
Thanks for your help, I hope the question was understandable and as always I appreciate the time you guys take to help us all!
We need to either make the css links absolute (starts with a /) or add a base for all our relative links by adding an extra attribute to the header:
<base href="/">
This would mean that you we start with the subdirectory of /test/. so instead of the css being;
http://domain.com/install/abcd/style.css
It would instead
http://domain.com/style.css
This is the problem I was having due to all my CSS and JS being included relativly (Allowing me to change the directory my script is in).
The above adjustment has in fact fixed my original problem, however without the use of PHP may open up an issue for some who want to be able to deploy the scripts and allow them to be fully dynamic without having to edit the base. Good luck!

I built a site on weebly and archived and exported all of the files associated with it. When I tried the files with the new site (basically just needed to change addresses), the slideshow no longer worked. That's when I found out via google that this is a known problem, but all of the posts on it are over two years old. Has anyone figured out a way around this?
Usually I would include code on SO, but there is so much that you'll have to let me know what you want to see.
I put my weebly site inside an iframe on the "authorized site". No one can link to any of the individual pages and I couldn't figure out the iframeresizer, so there is awkward space at the end of some pages. It's terrible.
But the rest of the group can easily go into weebly and edit any of the pages, which saves me a lot of time and responsibility. Plus, of course, the precious slide show works.
At the moment when you go to select an image inside an entry using the EE default file manager, the default view is 'show files as a list'.
Is there a way to show the thumbnail view as the default?
At this point I would be happy with a core hack.
I don't usually use the file manager for sites (much prefer Assets) but this client had a tight budget
I've wondered about doing this in the past as well - turns out it's pretty simple. Open up ee_filebrowser.js and search for the first instance of a("#dir_choice").val(). Immediately after that add this:
; a("#view_type").val('thumb').change();
Make sure you include the leading ;.
I've only tested this in Safari but I can't see why it wouldn't work everywhere. Incidentally, JS beautifier makes this sort of thing infinitely easier.
I don't recommend hacking core for any reason and I suggest it should be avoided at all cost.
With that said, I will provide what I've found out just the same.
Looks like the following files, in EE 2.5.3, are what you'd want to edit:
/themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/plugins/ee_filebrowser.js
/system/expressionengine/libraries/File_field.php
I found these doing a file search in my text editor for view_type which was from the id of that dropdown. The javascript is minified so you'd probably want to un-minify it and then rewrite the part which handles the switch. I'm not the best JS/jQuery person out there, and un-minified js makes it a bit harder too so, I won't offer any more than what I've found so far.
Consider pulling out the parts parts from the two files if you aren't great with js and maybe start a new post tagged accordingly.
Also note: there might be more to this than just those two files so consider this answer a start and nothing more.
Sorry, this is a bad question. I don't even know what the title should be. I'm a total noob at making websites so this might be easy to find but I just don't know the terminology to search for. I cannot find anything about how to do this...
What I want to do is have something like references/variables that I can use in a block of text and it will automatically get replaced with whatever value should be there. Best way I can think of to describe it would be if I was using the site as a design doc for a game or something, I would be able to type in [Title] or something similar on any page and when it loads that text would be replaced with whatever my Title is. That way If I ever change titles, names, classes, races, places, items, etc... they would only have to be changed in 1 place and the change would be reflected everywhere.
I notice if I add a link to a page it will automatically use the Title of that page as the text of the link. That is almost exactly what I want. Except when I change the Title of the other page the text of the link remains as the original text. It doesn't get updated to the new Title and that is not at all what I want.
Also, I want to do this in Google Sites and as simply as possible. I don't really want to use a database. I was hoping Google Sites would have some kind of funcionality for this.
I don't believe this is possible (on Google Sites) and likely you need to consider a hosted solution.
Quoting the answer from this relevant post:
You should consider hosting your solution using Google's App Engine
instead of Google Sites. You can set it up so it uses PHP (see link
below), you can configure it to use your domain name and you get
enough CPU, disk and bandwidth allowance to serve around five million
page views for free each month, if you are serving more than that,
their prices are extremely competitive.
Google App Engine:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine.html How
to setup PHP using Google App Engine: http://blog.caucho.com/?p=187
Also I'm not sure how your PHP skills are but if you're unfamiliar with it then this should help to get you started.
I've made a change to what I thought was the main default template page in a hosted version of Sharepoint 2007, but the search page hasn't picked up the change.
Can someone please either give me a list of all the default page files, or tell me how to identify them? It's really important that I add a JS script call across all pages everywhere on the site.
Thanks!
Point of clarification: for now, I'm just trying to include a jQuery reference. I really don't think I'm trying to do anything complicated or unusual - I just want this include to be be global across all pages by default. I've modified /_catalogs/masterpage/default.master with:
<HEAD runat="server">
<script src="/Global%20Site%20Files/jq1.4.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
EDIT
I just did a search of the source code for a statically defined meta-tag and found that the default.master I altered is in fact the only file in the search results!!! This means, as far as I understand, that my jQuery include should have worked! I'm more confused than ever...
Hi What i can see is the way you are refrencing is wrong you should use full Qualified URL for
src attribute in script tag currently you are using relative path that might be a cause of error
Turns out that the issue is not a question of multiple page templates or master files. The search results page (which is the primary page in question) does not use the default.master file. Moreover, even as an administrator, I don't have the ability to edit the search results page.
In the end, it looks as though I was looking for what I thought was a solution, but was really just a red herring. I'm going to repost a more specific question to my problem.
I have seen many somewhat similar questions, but nothing quite what I'm looking for. So at the risk of being told this is a duplicate... here it goes.
I've found that there are times I have a node that simply contains content that will be displayed somewhere else, but shouldn't be viewed directly. That is, no one should ever go to node/1234, but the content in node 1234 should be displayed somewhere else.
For example, I create an about page with tabbed content using views. So there are "About Me", "About Us" and "About Them" pages. All of these are displayed in a single page with tabs using Views. So I don't want people to get directly to the "About Us" node because then they wouldn't see the tabs for the other pages. At the same time, I don't want Google giving people a direct link to this node, I want to limit access so users can only get to it through the View (i.e., the tab).
So I need to restrict access to the node, remove it from the Drupal search results, and make sure Google doesn't pick up on it. Any suggestions?
---- Note ----
I've accepted the answer from mingos (thanks btw) because even though it's not a full answer / solution, it gave me some good things to think about. Additional answers are still welcome.
In Drupal 7 you can use: http://drupal.org/project/internal_nodes
Description: Some content/nodes should never be viewed directly; only visible be through something else such as Views or Panels. This module denies access to node/[nid] URLs while allowing the content to stay published and otherwise viewable.
Full disclosure: I am the creator and co-maintainer of Internal Nodes. I found this question while searching to see how the module could be found on Google.
Tough one.
If you want to have many nodes like this and do the "displaying elsewhere" dynamically, I can't think of anything right now (at 2:20 AM I rarely can).
If there is onne such page (or very few), I'd restrict access to it by any available means (Permissions, Nodeaccess, Content Access, TAC, whatever) and then create special themes for the pages where the restricted content should be displayed. The themes would contain database queries, fetching content from the restricted nodes.
Other possibility might include creating a special theme for the hidden nodes in question (perhaps all belonging to the same content type?). Make full node display nothing (or a message saying the access is restricted) and add a ROBOTS meta tag asking Google not to index the page. Make the teaser view available though - you can display it freely inside a view, but since /node/1234 is the FULL view, the actual content will be unavailable here.
Dunno if this solves your problem, hope it helps at least a bit.
I found this page after running into this same problem.
What I found worked for me might be part of the answer you need:
Take a look at the Page Manager Redirect Module http://drupal.org/project/page_manager_redirect . I just started playing with it.
It uses the Page Manager module of CTools to redirect one page to another. What makes this most powerful is that Page Manager uses Contexts. So, if you want to redirect all pages of a particular content type, you can do so.
I just started to use it (instead of Taxonomy Redirect and Path Redirect) to redirect (301 response code) my taxonomy terms for a particular vocabulary to particular nodes.
In your instance, you should be able to use contexts to filter for specific pages.
Of course this doesn't solve the problem of these nodes coming up in search results.
There is also another module Rabbit Hole which has a similar functionality like Internal Nodes but works for all entities, not only nodes.
I am having the same problem, and are currently thinking of the following solution where all the content of a node is to be displayed to certain users (permission based):
- unpublish node
- create a new published checkbox
- create a view with fields that shows alle the content
Haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but it seems to work.
The node is to be displayed to the creator (only one in permission 1), some of it to permission 2 and all of it to permission 3.
Any comments on this solution.
I assume this will also exclude it from search, but permission 2 and 3 needs to be able to search it. Still haven't figured that one out.
I used Rules module with an "entity is of bundle" and the built-in "Page redirect" action.
There is a really easy way to do this if you only want to show a content type through a view.
create a content type as and make it unpublished.
create a view and on the filter option set the filter to "Content: Published (No)"
the view will give anon users access to the content through the view but they won't have access to the unpublished content at the direct link to the content.
