I'm looking for a way to display the contents of an uploaded document file such as a .docx file.

In Drupal 6 I used the iPaper module which did the trick as all I needed was api code to connect with the service, and the documents were able to be kept private.

But for Drupal 7, I'm pretty sure the File entity (fieldable files) module should do the trick, but I'm not able to get it working for any files other than .txt.

There are some Google viewer modules which I'm not sure what added functionality they have over the above module, but those don't appear to work correctly. One of them requires that files are public domain which doesn't work for this project due to privacy requirements.

Some other modules like group docs viewer and ajax docs viewer charge a hefty monthly fee for displaying rendered files, but all I need is a simple open source docx viewer.

What is the best way to proceed? Which modules are stable for production use?

Best case would allow for user upload, file contents displayed under the actual file attachment, and the rendered document editable for the user.

Note: i've gotten the google docs module to work but that doesn't allow for private files. google needs to access the file publicly in order to render. scribd field also works to some extent but has too many errors and bugs still. looking for a better, simpler solution.

I've a plain text field, where I've added few text in wrapped in tag. I've tried to get the processed html text in the twig by using

{{ content.field_front_page_description|field_value }} {% set text = content.field_front_page_description|field_value %} {% set build = { '#type': 'processed_text', '#text': text|render, '#format': 'full_html', } %} {{ kint(build) }} {{ build }}

But it is returning an array with not processed text. How do I do that

I created a custom form and after the form is submitted I need to display the submitted data in a table. This seems like a very simple problem. I am able to use dpm() and drupal_set_message() to display data submitted from the form in mymodule_form_submit($form, &$form_state); however, I can't output it to a table.

I have 3 field values

$form_state['redirect'] = 'some/path/' . $form_state['values']['my_value'];

Using this I can send just 1 value. But how can I send an array with this? Query string may appear to be very long.

Initially, I have installed the Token module and created a Views block containing years.

I want to filter out the current year from the block (it should not show the current year).

In filter criteria, I have changed content:year ([current-date:custom:Y]), but it is not filtering the current year, and it is showing as follows:

• 2013(3)
• 2014(5)
• 2015(6)
• 2016(2)

I am expecting the output to be as follows:

• 2013(3)
• 2014(5)
• 2015(6)

How can I achieve this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

In the webform-mail.tpl.php template, it outputs the main form data using:

[submission:values]

I am using the html format (using mime-mail) and this outputs to the email html in the form:

<div><label>Name</label>Name value</div>

Is there a way I can customise the output so that it doesn't use the label field and uses a <p> tag instead?

The problem with the <label> tag is that I cannot style it in Microsoft Outlook as it ignores all styling for this tag, and the email is quite difficult to read/understand.

I am using the Simplenews module for sending newsletters, and the Mandrill service for sending emails. When I send a test newsletter to the test user, the unsubscribe link should be redirected to particular node, for example to node/2.

How can I achieve this?

Is it possible to require at least 5 out of 10 checkbox options to be selected in one web form field usung webform_validation module or built in custom properties?

I'm new in D10, In D7 I was using webform_validation and "Minimum number of selections required".

I could but don't wan't to use any hooks and custom functions.

.... EDIT: Why so much down vote, but no one point any solution ?

I am using drupal 7, have a content type and two taxonomy categories, size and shape.

Im trying to build a dynamic url such as mysite.com/node/nid/tid/tid, which would get rewrote as e.g mysite.com/page-1/large/square.

I want the content of the url to just show the node, so in this case node/1. But I am also going to make 2 blocks one for category size and another block for category shape which will get the relevant IDs from the url and show the relevant content, in this case block 1 will show large and block 2 will show square.

I thought I could generate the page in views by setting the URL to node/%/%/% or node/%// and setting arg 1 to nid, but this comes back as page not found.

So I am wondering is this possible in views if not how can I create a url such /arg1/arg2/arg3 which represents /a nid/a category 1 tid/a category 2 tid, and then populate the page dynamically?

Thanks for any help

edit/

So I have got the arguments working. mysite.com/%/%/% by setting the last argument as the target page rather than the first argument. But how can I rewrite the url. So arg1 becomes node title, arg2 becomes term id 1 and arg3 becomes term id 2 title?
