Hi All,
My name is Tony and I have just started down the Drupal path. I am
finding it is quite a learning curve especially if there is no one
here to help me out. Thank God for this mailing list. I have already
gotten some good info in the week I have been listening in.
I have 2 quick and hopefully easy to answer questions.... actually three:
1. I see 2 almost identical admin menus across the top when I am
logged in as admin. Can I turn one of them off?
2. In views for D7 there are a few things on top of each other in the
views configuration form. Why?
3. Trying to create a new view based on the Image Gallery template and
it says (in incorrect English) "Shows all images which was uploaded on
the "field_image" field". Can someone explain what that means? Do I
have to define or create an field_image field? How to upload?

Thanks for any help or directions to good documentation/tutorials etc.
Tony

Did you install the admin_menu module? If so you need to turn off the
core "toolbar" module.

Welcome to Drupal!

You have to be careful what modules you install and what themes you use for Drupal.  With thousands of modules, not all of them have obviously been cross-tested.  In my opinion, you don't need admin menu with D7, but there are some changes, which are nice, but if you don't need them, don't use them.  My rule of thumb is usually to add all modules I KNOW I need, and then as a need arises, I add the module to my list.  That way, if something doesn't jive, I can more easily figure out the culprit.

Themes are another issue.  Themes are highly technical and can add a lot of visual changes to a site, both to the outward appearance and the administration area.  Try changing to Garland and see if that fixes your problem with Views overlapping.  Or, if you have been doing CSS changes, revert back to the original CSS.  Also note, Views 3 is in beta still.  If you feel like there's a bug or fix that needs to be made, feel free to post it on their issue queue.   http://drupal.org/project/issues/views?categories=bug  (Make sure you search for that bug first.  No one likes multiple postings for the same issue).  

Finally, I haven't used the image gallery, but from the sounds of it, you need to add an image field to your content type.  Adding the image field allows users to upload pictures to your site.  Then the View can create a gallery for you.

Hope that helps!

Joel

Perfect. Thanks!

Thanks Joel. Now I have a clean version of views. Updated both views and ck.

After having used, and depended upon Admin_menu in D6 for a while. I was
extremely disappointed by Toolbar in D7. I installed Admin_menu and will never
again enable Toolbar. Sorry, it sucks.

Hello.

Nancy, as always, your comments help a lot. Thanks.

For me, Drupal 7 was the first contact with Drupal, so I can not
compare them. I feel that some users from Drupal 6 with the
appropriate modules could be happier than the actual Drupal 7.

For all of you that came from previous versions. Do you think you can
share tips on what modules to install that are not in the core of 7
and that you have used with succes in version 6?. Like the one
mentioned by Nancy.

As an example, in my training I have not found how to make work the
HTML filer so if I copy text from one of my web pages, with text
color, fonts etc, that it looks the same. I guess, I read that in
Drupal 6 there are module editors for doing that.

Thanks in advance.

Get the wysiwyg module [0] and follow the procedure to install any of
the javascript editors [1]. Those will be able to handle most of the
formatted text you'll throw at them.

I reccomend ckeditor [2].

CKEditor is good but I have still not figured out to add youtube and video with pasting into the source.

Anyone?

This page looks like it's going in the right direction, though the most of
the modules mentioned are in dev status right now.

Google suggests these, but i haven't tried any of them:

http://www.fluidbyte.net/index.php?view=embed-youtube-vimeo-[..] http://sourceforge.net/projects/youtubepluginfo/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ckeditoryoutube/ http://code.google.com/p/lajox/ http://puszki.net/ckeditor-youtube-plugin/

There's even a video tutorial here:


To solve the problem i remember using the embedded media field drupal
module and the youtube plugin.
