How To: Generate Random URL

(Reposting...last post was deleted)

For certain content on a site, I want to implement "security by obscurity" by having the posts show up only in restricted views and by making the URLs for those posts a set of random, unguessable characters (like Microsoft does with GUID).

So, I need guidance in two parts:

  1. What module (presumably CCK-related) or trick will create a set of random, unguessable characters that I can then use as replacement token in pathauto?

Repeated Fieldgroups with alternating fields

Hello,
I have recently switched to Drupal from Joomla, and my question may be basic:

I'd like to create a content type for adding testimonial quotes to any page. I'd like to have a quote field and a credit field designated so I can designate styles automatically.

I figured out how to make a fieldgroup with my two fields.

Is there a good way to repeat this fieldgroup three times in a page or story, and have it be easily editable so that you can have different quotes on each page?

Need help: How to theming Block title?

Hi,

This is my first time converting theme..This is Joomla to Drupal.

And now Im stuck..

I have no idea how to theming the Block title.

The block title looks plain. I want the Block title to be in the "BlockTitleHere".

Using <?php print $block->subject ?> also not works

You can see the Block img in the attachment.

Thanks

Help needed: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Hello,
I am still new-ish to Drupal.

I recently moved my site from local machine to a test online site. When I try to create content, I get this:

warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/ermep.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/ermep.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/includes/file.inc on line 102.

HOWTO: Check Domain Availability in Drupal Site

Does anyone know how to embed a widget (or is there a Drupal Module) that will enable users to check for availability of domains?

I'm building a Drupal-based site on which users will request a new domain for their Drupal-based site. I'd like to determine availability of domains right from within my site, rather than sending them to a domain registrar.

HOWTO: Send email acknowledgement to addresses in CCK Email fields

How do I: When a new node is created by an anonymous visitor, how do I trigger an email to be sent to the email address stored in a CCK Email field ?

Scenario: Continuing with the scenario in HOWTO: Auto-create a cryptic URL Path, when an anonymous user creates a new node and puts their email address in a CCK Email field, I want to automatically send an acknowledgment to the email addresses stored in one or more email fields.

HOWTO: Auto-create a cryptic URL Path

How Do I: When creating a new node, auto-create a cryptic URL path, similar to a "Replication ID" (like this: www.thesite.com/C560E5B2-6459-478C-A913-4C895D7D046C). Can I do this with some special token?

HOWTO: Convert node to a different node type

I know this is simple, but I haven't taken time to figure it out. So...how do I convert a node from one content type to another (e.g., from book page --> story)? When I do, does the node remain in the book outline?

How To: Show a node's OG associations?

OK...Following Ethan's comment and Moshe's reply about using this group to create a log/list of challenges and resolutions for Drupal implementations, here is a really simple one.

When displaying a node, how do I show the Organic Groups with which that node is associated, the way it's done on this site? I have OG installed on a couple of sites, but this feature doesn't seem to be provided out of the box. I'm guessing it's something that has been added to this GDO theme.
