Thanks for the amazingly easy to understand and impliment tutorial. Was just wondering if you still had plans to release an article about the section of the drigg you mentioned “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.”

Also was wondering if there will be a tutorial on implimenting either a dynamic display block or frontpage slideshow block that could show the latest of highest karma scoopes?

Hi Gaurav,

You cannot simply redirect a subdomain to the root of your Drupal install /beta. You must install drupal on the subdomain you created with no redirect. http://www.beta.opencamp.in/ install drupal under that domain and it will work.

Hi Lincoln,

With this tutorial i got through in installation. but some problem persist.

I have a WordPress installation in root (public_html) and new drigg installation in subdirectory “beta” (public_html/beta). i have also redirectet beta.mysite.com to mysite.com/beta. Now when i browse to mysite.com/beta front page works good. Then if i use any link within the drupal installation it looks like (mysite.com/link) instead of (mysite.com/beta/link)and using that link takes me to the WordPress site not to drupal installation. I tried with .htaccess and setings.php but no success .

$base_url = mysite.com OR beta.mysite.com
RewriteBase /beta OR /

(I tried every possible combination of two above)

you can check it out http://www.opencamp.in (WP site)

and http://www.opencamp.in/beta or http://www.beta.opencamp.in (drupal+drigg with drupala theme site)

Help!

Q. Is there is any drupala like theme for drigg 5.x or 6.x available for free

At the moment their are very few hemes available for Drigg, however any drupal theme can easily be converted by adding a single template file titled node-drigg.tpl.php. The easiest way to acheive this is to copy the Drupal themes original node.tpl.php and rename it to drigg-node.tpl.php.

Nextopen the default drigg theme node-drigg.tpl.php and look at the code inside it, you can the copy the code you require to your own themes node-drigg.tpl.php file. Of course you will also need CSS etc and it’s not a simple copy and paste job but with some practice you will find it’s really not that hard.
