Finishing Up Your Drigg Install And Giving Users Access

We now need to give users the correct access levels for your drigg website, otherwise they wont be able to do anything or brows stories. To do this we need to make a visit to Drupals Access control section which can be found at the URL below.

http://yoursite.com/admin/user/access

Rather than go through each and every option we have provided a screenshot of what should be ticked initially at setup. Simply copy what we have ticked in you install and click Save Configuration at the end of it.

Enable Seo Titles
While playing with the system, you must have noticed that stories are referred to as /node/3 or /node/5 etc. This is less than optimal. In order to have URLs like /Category/The-articles-title-more-or-less, you will need to:

• Open the file [your_server]/sites/all/modules/drigg/custom_url_rewrite_function.php. This file came with the drigg module.
• Select all of the text and copy it to the clipboard (all of it, from function custom_url_rewrite($op, $result, $path, $path_language=NULL) to the end of the file
• Paste it right at the end of your settings.php file, which is probably located in sites/default/settings.php
• That’s it!

Below is the code you need to paste into /sites/all/settings.php.

function custom_url_rewrite($op, $result, $path, $path_language=NULL) {

  $term_list=variable_get("drigg_section_list",array());
  $tag_vid=variable_get('drigg_tag_vid','');

  // This is OUTGOING stuff
  if($op == 'alias'){

    // Make outgoing links look right
    if (preg_match('|^node/([^/]+)(.*)$|', $path, $matches)) {
      $n = $matches[1];
      $rest = $matches[2];

      if(is_numeric($n)){
        $res= drigg_settings_lookup_drigg_node_by_dnid($n);
        if($res){
          // Return the right URL
          $safe_section=$res->safe_section;
          $title_url=$res->title_url;
          // I hate this, but we need to have it because you never know
          $safe_section = $safe_section != '' ? $safe_section : 'All';
          return("$safe_section/$title_url$rest");
        }
      }
    }

    // Make TAG links look right
    if (preg_match('|^taxonomy/term/([0-9]+)(/?)(.*)$|', $path, $matches)) {

      if($matches[3] == ''){
        $tid = $matches[1];
        $res=drigg_settings_lookup_term_name_by_tid($tid);
        if($res){
          $res=urlencode($res);
          return("tag/".$res);
        }
      }

    }

    // Make users look right
    if (preg_match('|^user/([^/]+)(.*)$|', $path, $matches)) {
      $uid = $matches[1];
      $rest = $matches[2];
      $res=drigg_settings_lookup_user_name_by_uid($uid);

The only other thing left to do is configure your recaptcha plugin which you will need to register at the ReCaptcha website for. Place recaptcha on you registration form and any other form you like to prevent spam.

Then enable some sidebar blocks from the blocks administration section.

This has been quite a challenging article to write and keep it simple enough to understand for anyone new to drupal. Hopefully though you will have read this article and now have a functioning drigg site, we know this isn’t the complete low down on Drigg and thats why we have a few more articles planned covering some of the more advanced features and functions that drigg can perform.

We will also be showing you, how to vastly expand you Drigg site beyond anything any of it’s competitors can offer by the use of modules, Optimizing Drupal and Drigg for faster load times and less bandwidth usage, releasing a few free Drigg templates and showing a few tutorials on how to template for the drigg system.

Oh! and answering any questions you may have, and if you want a tutorial for Drigg please contact us and let us know what you wold like us to cover next.
