I was of the understanding that drupals "logged sessions" and php "session cookies" were two different things. Drupal actually copies the session cookie into the database?

sandboxing releases
by Bèr Kessels 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hello, After the so-manie-eth sandbox thread, I'd like to start yet another one :) I am sure I am not the only person creating a lot of code. And a lot of modules. With me writing approx a module a week, I am left with about 50 projects to maintain, accumulating each year. Off course I don't do that. No-one does that. Yet, the code, sitting in my private svn, is kindof lost. Some of it may actually be very useful for someone. Because its precesely what she needs, or because it is the basis to work from for another project. And yes, code that is written in less then a week, is often crappy code. <----> there is a very good reason for not releasing it <----> it's a hyper ugly piece of crap.' As quoted from IRC, said by a famous Drupaleer, after he was asked by someone if he could share some code. I would like to plead -again- to open up the sandboxen for such modules, projects and ideas. I feel it a pity to deprive the world from my (and others) silly code :) , only because I don't want to (spend the time) maintaining it. And because i know that many people's 'silly code' is probably of better quality then many others peoples 'maintained and released code'. Quality is not the thing that makes code release, its the time the developer has for it, or wants to give it. In the sandboxen at least it makes a chance of being picked up, as "raw material".

Re: [development] Weird session behavior on submit block form

I have had a problem like this before where the session files were being stored in a directory unavailable to PHP. You might try setting the directory path in php.ini and/or checking the permissions on the directory being used. Appropo dev stuff. Does the Drupal installer check the session directory? Several other CMS installers like Joomla do this.

installation profiles on drupal.org
by Jakub Suchy 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Hi, is it possible to create new project type on Drupal.org - installation profile? Some translators have created own installation profiles for their translation, blogger installation profile is proposed for Google SoC. Even people would IMHO notice, that something that installation profiles exist and the absolutely greatest thing would be to be able to just manage CVS which will automatically pack the profile into profile.tar.gz.

To boldly go where no CMS went before
by Karoly Negyesi 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Hi, I would like to draw fellow developers -- and even more importantly, reviewers -- attention to http://drupal.org/node/67349 : SQLite port. Already someone tested with a NAS and apparently this would let us Drupal run on sub-$100 devices, like Linksys NSLU2 . The possibilites this opens are simply mind boggling: for example, it would be possible for Drupal to run literally out of the box -- you unpack the box, plug in power and Ethernet and you have your own CMS. It will be slower than your eight core server in the datacenter, yes, but if Nokia thinks it's a good idea to develop a web server with mod_python for some of their phones http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/mobile-web-server/phone-softwar… then surely there is some good in this. Regards NK

taxonomy dhtml maintainer
by Jakub Suchy 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Hi, according to this page: http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_dhtml Taxonomy DHTML need new maintainer. I am willing to give this module some because i need it on many projects. The first task would obviously be to release 5.x version of the module and then try to commit some patches in queue. Can I be the new maintainer? Thanks, Jakub http://www.drupal.cz
