I'm recreating a website in drupal7 from a basic html page. This basic current html page has these two sidebars with specify ads squares for their website that they have made. This website is really old so all of their ad squares are created in images. So there is bassicly just an img tag in one ofthese squares. In these pictures there is also an link to donation pages and other functions etc. It's done with an easy a tag. Anyway...
I want to create these ads squares in the sidebars for their new drupal site but I have no idea of how to do it. I've looked into CKEdtior and CKFinder but I dont find functions for it. I want to recreate these pictures into real divs that has css styling.
Do you guys have any idea of how to create these ads square to the new drupal site? :)
Modueles?
Thanks
You could add the ad as a block. Blocks can be displayed in certain regions of your theme, on all or on certain pages of your site.
See Working with blocks (content in regions).
EDIT:
If your users shall be able to create new ads, you could do the following:
create a content type "Ad"
add all the fields you need, set the permissions
with the Views module, you can create a new block display, which contains the relevant fields of your "Ad" content type
What else you have to do depends on when/how/which ads shall be displayed.

Please provide any examples or links which clearly explaining to create simple image gallery in Drupal 7.
Actually the image gallery should be in Thumb Nail Image with 4 images per row.
It should be categorized with simple menu.
If there is sub category, then there should be drop down menus.
Finally the gallery should be with pagination links.
I've tried with taxamony, but it not clear display as expected in front end.
Please provide the better way either thru code or any modules available.
There are different ways to do an image gallery. If something like galleria is what you are looking for you can do it very easily just by using an image field and drupal galleria module.
But in your case, you will have to use views. In that pull out the images you want, choose the
display as grid. Set the no. of columns to 4. Link to the original image. Then you can use the
Lightbox module to open them in a lightbox, if you want one.
For pagination you can use the default views pagination settings.
This might help you. Check out.
I am building a website with drupal 7 in which I have two user roles i.e. a member and an expert. I want to display slideshow of expert type of users with their image, name and few lines describing them in every instance of slideshow. All 3 fields which I require are stored in mysql database as the users entered these details at the time of signup. I used view_slideshow module but I am unable to configure it my way. Unable to create new content type.
Can it be possible to display slideshow in the way I want?
I am using "busy" theme if its required.
Using the views slideshow module you should be able to create a view where instead of displaying content you display users. On the create view page there is a spot where it says 'show: content ' as a drop down. Change this to users and then when you have the views slideshows module change the display format on the same page to slideshow.
I'm trying to find the best way to create a user friendly admin menu for my client on the site I am building. So far I have been able to set access rights to the various types of content which I would like the client to edit, however this has some drawbacks in that I can't set provide access to individual blocks and the content overview page is wayy too confusing for the client.
Instead I would like to provide a structure like the following:
Admin Menu
Services
Manage
Edit page header block
Developments
Manage
Edit page header block
Private commissions
Manage
Edit page header block
Each Manage option would take the client to a page like the Content overview page in the standard admin but it would automatically filter the results to include only the relevant content type e.g. the Manage option for developments page would show the user a list of the current developments and an option to Add a new one.
The Edit page header block options would take the user to the edit page for the relevant page header block.
Is this possible and if so how?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Have you checked out the Quickbar module?
Your description might be a little hard to understand what you're trying to accomplish, but if I get it right, you're trying to do a very custom "view" of the content pages. If you have to code it, then it's gonna take a long time.
Hey guys. so I'm not quite sure how to tackle my next big problem in this project.
I want to create an admin interface which allows my client to create a dynamic menu page for the food and drinks. Basically, I want him to be able to enter a short paragraph for the top of the page, and then 2-6 widgets that he can drag and drop onto the page. This menu will then render under owlhouse.com.au/food. I figure it'll be something to do with associations, but I have no idea how to construct a function which attaches dynamic data to the page on the fly.. and keep it in the layout the client wants (2 columns, diff modules for beer, wine, etc.)
HOW ON EARTH DO I GO ABOUT THIS?
thankyou,
~Harley
Dynamic Data
Build a "CRUD" interface that the client can log into. (Think blog entries). Store the content in the database (of course). Then provide a drag & drop interface that allows the client to order them, assign them to pages, or whatever is needed to meet the requirement. When the client clicks update, you simply add/remove IDs to the content for the given page. When the page loads (like a blog page) it loads the content for the given IDs.
Widgets
The same would apply for widgets. I would build an element that provides the basic layout for the widget. Then build it the same way as the content. The client will have CRUD functionality with drag & drop interface to show which widgets are displayed.
Send me a PM if you need to hire someone. ;)
Can we create a content managed master page in dotnetnuke?
eg. I want the right pane and bottom pane to be content managed, but to show the same thing across all pages.
Thanks
What you are describing is essentially what DNN calls a Skin.
A DNN skin is actually just an ASP.NET user control (ascx) that dictates page-wide or site-wide look and feel, which offers developers the same functionality as a Master page, except that it ties into DNN-specific elements and uses some DNN-specific user controls, such as menu/navigation, logo, breadcrumbs, login/user account links, etc.
Now, in order to add the ability to provide content management capabilities site-wide, you specify an area in your skin to place a module (let's say, a Text/HTML module). This area is called a pane. Once you add a module to this pane, in its settings you can tell it to appear on every page. This way, the module can be edited on any page, and its changes will be reflected on all pages automatically.
Check out DNN's site, as it contains a TON of documentation on how to do many common tasks: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Support/Documentation/DownloadableFiles/tabid/478/Default.aspx. Under the Technical Documentation section, you'll want to grab the Skinning document (I believe it's a PDF).
DNN Modules can be set to appear on all pages by checking a checkbox in the module settings. However DNN does not use the concept of a Master Page. It injects modules (user controls) in containers on a single aspx page at runtime.
A Master Page would be a great addition to DotNetNuke you cannot replace content in a single area of the page. The whole page refreshes. For example if you have a menu and you only want the content of what you select to appear in a specific content area without refreshing the rest of the page you have to resort to third party modules that attempt to do that but usually fail. There are 'module wrappers' but all the ones I've tested have issues with modules that allow the user to edit content. Edit screens are usualy different user control files (ascx) that are launched when you edit the module content. Since the page refreshes with the new page you have lost your place. Those module wrappers work fine for static content and some other controls but not for all controls.
IFrames can be used (DNN has one) to trade out content but that doesn't get rid of the probelms mentione above. I'm heavily invested in DNN, running the UCanUse.com web site so this isn't a slam on DNN. I just thought I'd try to answer the quesiton with detail.
