Drupal staging solution
by Michel Levy-Provençal 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

Hi, Managing the whole chain: Dev - Integration - Staging - Production is a major issue for Drupal. It's one of the Drupalcon2007 conclusion. As we discussed during the Building High Traffic and Scalable Businesses with Drupal , it is imperative for us to have migration methods and tools. At France24 we worked during 2 months to find a simple solution to answer this question. We have mounted a complete dev -> integration -> production environment responding to our needs.

help needed: race condition in project_issue when followups are comments
by Derek Wright 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

hunmonk, chx, and I have been hard at work bringing the project_issue module (which powers d.o's issue queue) out of the dark ages. Instead of a bunch of duplicated comment-like functionality for issue followups, followups are now handled via genuine core comments[1]. This solves a bunch of UI and other problems[2], and makes the code easier to maintain. One of the things this will allow is easy deleting of inappropriate issue followups (e.g. spam). However, deleting a followup would totally break our current numbering scheme (the little #1, #2, etc next to each followup). We have a solution for this, but it introduces a race condition when N people reply to the issue at the same time. One obvious solution to the race is to use DB locks, but that's scary from a performance standpoint, especially on d.o. So, anyone who a) cares about the d.o issue queue, b) cares about d.o performance, and/or c) has a lot of DB expertise they could share, please read the following issue and comment there: http://drupal.org/node/180866 Thanks! -Derek (dww) [1] http://drupal.org/node/18920 [2] http://drupal.org/node/13221 for example

installing database
by Glenn Wybo 04 Oct '07

Hi, it's been a while since I had to install drupal on another server. Installing drupal itself is just fine, as configuring the necessary files, although when I want to configure the database by importing the database.mysql file, I get an error (see attachment). Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Glenn _________________________________________________________________ Deel je gedachten direct met je vrienden http://messenger.live.com

Domain Manager
by Ken Rickard 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

For those who attended the 'Affiliated Sites' presentation in Barcelona -- or who I told about the module otherwise. I have committed the initial code for the Domain Manager module. http://drupal.org/project/domain Documentation should be finished by end of week. In a nutshell, it uses registered third-level domains and node_access() to provide an affiliated content model. The site(s) share all tables, but content can be partitioned to all sites, one site, or a selection of sites. See the demo at http://www.skirt.com/map - Ken Rickard agentrickard

Drupal 6 beta 2 blocker issues
by Gábor Hojtsy 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hello World, Here is a list of the issues I identify as blockers for a Drupal 6 beta 2 release. I would like to encourage everyone interested in a beta 2 sooner to work on these: http://drupal.org/node/157752 http://drupal.org/node/144634 http://drupal.org/node/178581 http://drupal.org/node/178768 http://drupal.org/node/163785 http://drupal.org/node/169982 http://drupal.org/node/80963 http://drupal.org/node/148084 Note that some of these might be RTBC at the time you look at them, which should not discourage you from looking into them deeply. Some of the above issues were in an RTBC - CNW limbo for quite some time now, so more eyes could always help. Also, if others have *pressing* blocker issues which are not yet under my radar, feel free to speak up about them! Gabor

Newbie Question
by Ivey, Chris 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Greetings, all. I am new to Drupal, working on my first module. I am having an issue that I can't seem to see where my issue is. Here is the flow: function alldotdev_advsearch_groups_form_submit($form_id, $form_values) { $op = $form_values['op']; $pagerrows = 50; if ($op == t('Non-Standard Results')) { $query_field = t('nonstd'); $query_value = $form_values['nonstd']; } $query_string = $query_field . " = '" . $query_value . "'"; return "AllDotDev/alldotdev_groups_display/" . $query_string . "/" . $pagerrows; } function alldotdev_groups_display($query_string = "", $pagerrows = '50') { $page_content = ''; $header = alldotdev_wholeheader(); $rows = alldotdev_groupsquery($query_string,$pagerrows); $pager = theme('pager', NULL, $pagerrows, 0); if (count($rows) && !empty($pager)) { $rows[] = array(array('data' => $pager, 'colspan' => count($rows[0]))); } if (count($rows)) { $page_content .= theme('table', $header, $rows); } else { $page_content .= "No devices meet the selection criteria"; } print theme('page', $page_content); } function alldotdev_groupsquery($query_string, $pagerrows = 50) { $header = alldotdev_wholeheader(); db_set_active('alldotdev'); $alldotdev_alldbfields = array_keys(alldotdev_allfields()); $fields = implode(",", $alldotdev_alldbfields); //$query = "SELECT " . $fields ." FROM devices WHERE " . $query_field . " = '" . $query_value . "'"; $query = "SELECT " . $fields ." FROM devices WHERE " . $query_string; $query .= tablesort_sql($header); //drupal_set_message($query); $query_result = pager_query($query, $pagerrows, 0, NULL, $query_string); db_set_active('default'); while ($record = db_fetch_object($query_result)) { $values = array(); foreach ($alldotdev_alldbfields as $value) { $values[] = $record->$value; } $rows[] = $values; } return $rows; } When I click one of the radio buttons for "nonstd" (which gives true or false), the application thinks about it for a second or two, then brings me back to the page that is listed in the menus as MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK instead of the page that I am asking for in my functions (alldotdev_groups_display). I don't follow the Drupal flow (as of this point) enough to know where to look to fix this issue. Could someone please point me in a direction to get this issue resolved? Thank you kindly!
