Remote db, site offline
by Jeff Hartman 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

I thought this would be straight forward, but alas I am confused. I typically have my database on my local machine, but I'm in a situation where I need to move my database to a remote server so multiple people can be developing at the same time. Drupal install and files are all local to each developer. Problem is, I can't get my local settings file to work with the remote database. In my settings file I've updated my $db_url string to use the remote db. I'm able to connect to the db via command line or MySQL GUI app using the same credentials as my settings file, but Drupal does seem to want to use the values in $db_url. Are there any cache settings or something else in the database that would restrict me from doing this? Jeff

Hey, I came across a situation where i want to sync image/file assets from Staging to Production on publish of a node. I am using revision module & looking at triggers & actions. I did not find a documentation on how to create custom action in Drupal 7. Though it is available for Drupal 6 at http://drupal.org/node/172152 -- :DJ

taxonomy_select_nodes - unpublished nodes
by Deva 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hello Everyone, I came across the situation where i want to show unpublished content on the site. (For review kind of thing) I am displaying nodes related to a taxonomy term using taxonomy_select_nodes function. The problem is, it only returns published nodes related to particular taxonomy term. Is there any other solution/function to get all nodes related to a term, regardless of the node state (published/unpublished)? Thanks in advance. -- :DJ

Hi Everybody Has anyone thought about automatic updates/upgrades to the Drupal core? If not, I would implement it. Excuse me if there is already a conversation going on about this--I am new here. Gaelan
