Forum error: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in node.module on line 521
by Ron Parker 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Shortly after applying the Drupal 5.2 patch to my site, I noticed that whenever I go to a forum, I get errors. I just updated the site to Drupal 5.5, and still get the same errors: * warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /modules/node/node.module on line 521. * warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /modules/node/node.module on line 525. * user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 query: SELECT n.nid, n.vid, n.type, n.status, n.created, n.changed, n.comment, n.promote, n.sticky, r.timestamp AS revision_timestamp, r.title, r.body, r.teaser, r.log, r.format, u.uid, u.name, u.picture, u.data FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON u.uid = n.uid INNER JOIN node_revisions r ON r.vid = n.vid WHERE in /includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172. Forum module 5.5 OG Forum module: 5.x-2.x-dev I can't seem to find any posts on this particular issue. I looked at these two: http://drupal.org/node/164499 http://drupal.org/node/180529 But, they don't seem to relate to me as I don't have the book, subscriptions or privatemsg modules installed. I get the error every time I click on a forum, and it appears at no other time. The only exception is when I click on a forum created by OG Forum. Do not receive any errors on OG Forums. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks for any suggestions. -ron -- Ron Parker Software Creations http://www.scbbs.com Self-Administration Web Site http://saw.scbbs.com SDSS Subscription Mgmt Service http://sdss.scbbs.com Central Ave Dance Ensemble http://www.centralavedance.com R & B Salsa http://www.randbsalsa.com

built in db error messages provide too much information(?)
by Gábor Hojtsy 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hey, Drupal 6 has nice themable error pages now (even if the DB is down), so advanced sites can theme out sensitive details about the database. But Drupal by default still displays advice to the site admin and possibly sensitive database details (the db error message), when it cannot connect to the database. On the plus side, this is good debug information and help tip for the admin, but frankly anyone could be the visitor at the time, and we always think it is the administrator. So here is a patch which awaits some feedback, which would provide a more user friendly error message, but obviously much less debug information and help tips for admins. http://drupal.org/node/178523 Please comment there if you care.

Make your dreams come true

One of mine just became a reality: all 44 global variables in use by Drupal core has been documented. This is GHOP. What do you have on your todo list for your years? Make it a GHOP task. Documenting all globals -- I am not kidding here, check the issue from http://drupal.org/node/198569#comment-654679 where the initial misunderstanding was cleared -- took this guy *three hours*. Fixing up them after my review took another half. I thought it will take a week... but no. So, open up todo.txt and copy items to GHOP tasks. Regards, NK

drupal.org caching too aggressive?
by Dave Cohen 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Recently I've posted comments on Drupal.org, and after pressing the submit button I've seen the original post, without a message and without my comment. If I refresh, the comment is there. But at least once I've gone back and resubmitted, because as a user it looks like my post was simply ignored. I suspect that I'm seeing a cached page after posting the comment (although I am logged in). Is this what's going on? Anyone else notice this? -Dave

Files directory on installation usability fix not quite usable. ; )
by Angela Byron 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Here's a usability report from one of our GHOP students: http://ijailbreak.com/drupal.html (please post feedback to http://drupal.org/node/197219#comment-652618) He interviews three test subjects: his mom, his brother, and his Dad. In it, he points out that all three of his test subjects got totally blocked at this error and needed him to step in and fix it in order for them to continue. This is the *second* page of the installation. If we are losing people before they even get Drupal installed, we are screwed. I realize the argument against including a files directory by default is that Mac OS does this insane behaviour of overwriting the contents of "files" with another directory of the same name, so there's a chance of completely blowing away someone's files directory. So as far as I can see, we're left with a couple of options: - Revert the existing behaviour, which at least allows mere mortals to get Drupal installed, even if it's a somewhat annoying thing to deal with later. - Include the blank files directory anyway, and trust that people are either reading upgrade instructions, or not running production websites off of a Mac OSX desktop/laptop. Thoughts? -Angie

Allow existing files to be attached
by Philippe Jadin 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello, Is there a module that allows users to attach existing files to node? The upload module only allows you to attach file from your computer, not existing files in /files. Isn't it a very common use case ? The upload ui could be like this : - Upload a file from your computer (current upload box) or - Attach an existing file from your site (some sort of ajax search system + file path text input form as a fallback for js disabled browsers) I can work on this as a contrib module, but it's strange this has not been made already. I want a compatible solution with core upload module. Did I miss something? I wanted to ask before working on it so I don't reinvent the wheel. Thank you Philippe

Phillipe, You might want to also check out the session that Walkah did at DrupalCon Barcelona. http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org/node/533 http://www.archive.org/details/Image_handling_in_core.for_real_this_time Can Walkah or somebody comment on what activity/discussions have come out of this and where we can contribute? It seems like we would benefit from a joint effort on this. -bennybobw --------------------------Previous Message------------------------------------------------- Subject: [development] Allow existing files to be attached To: development(a)drupal.org Message-ID: <999346c0712060456r3e038255o7b278865ecb217c6(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello, Is there a module that allows users to attach existing files to node?

Drupal 6 beta 4 out
by Gábor Hojtsy 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hello World, With the 5.4 and 4.7.9 security releases, Drupal 6.0 beta 4 is also out. It would be great to move to the first release candidate next, but it can only happen, if we concentrate on the issues at http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=97368,184399,175832… and solve them properly. These are mostly update, installation, CSS/JS and user feedback issues. So everybody can find pleasure in them :) Gabor

D6 Node Access, Was: D7 small survey: listing of node types at /node/add
by Steven Jones 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Oh node access stuff, what joy! It's very cool that D6 supports this kind of menu override, I tried to follow the D6 dev cycle along, but didn't have time to contribute, I was wondering if any other node access related stuff got into D6, or do we still have the slightly stick mess of D5?
