A Rose By Any Other Name... SSL Certs
by Gordon Heydon 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi, I have a new client and they require me to get an SSL certificate. Ideally an EV certificate because they detail with financial information (not credit cards) and would ideally require a higher level of identifiable security that what a standard certificate provides. Usually for clients that do not really require any real security for there website and when a self signed certificate will do, I will use a free certificate from startssl.com, not only does it give the full security their certificate authority is recognised by all browsers. While grabbing a certificate for another client I noticed that they offer an EV certificate for US199 for 2 years, where as thawte.com (who I usually use when I need a proper certificate) for the same certificate si $US995 for 2 years. and verisign is 1730 for the same. I know that technically there is zero difference in security between the 2 providers and they will both provide the exact some levels of encryption. The EV certificate from startssl.com is 1/5 of the price of one from thawte.com so looking that it is a much better financially. but the issue is really "trust". Thawte.com or even Verisign have a much higher level of trust and what startssl.com has. Would a normal person (not like us) really care about this. Remember also to provide an EV certificate you still need to meet some strict guidelines. I am conflicted with this, on the one hand I can provide my client with a financially acceptable option that will give their clients a much higher level of identity, and make sure they are dealing with my client, but on the other hand it is not a thawte/verisign. Comments please. Thanks in advance. Gordon.

Do you know if it is possible to designate a secondary sort option with tablesort, and if so, how do I go about doing so? http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--tablesort.inc/6/source

MYSQL queries and Modules
by Andreas Laesser 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi @all is there a way to improve mysql queries from several modules? I've loaded aprox. 40 modules and it slows the site terrible... There is also the thing that if you load a site as an anonymous drupal does also the mysql queries for logged in users. Does anybody have such problems? If yes, may we can change experiences.

[Drupal7] Efficient to query nodes from multiple terms (CCK)
by Ryan Chan 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

I am development a module that show a listing of node. Currently, the node of ap specific content type has multiple CCK term references to a specify vocabulary, i.e. v1, v2, v3 I want to list of nodes if they matched a specify term conditions, e.g. v1=tid1 v1=tid1, v2=tid2 v1=tid1, v2=tid2, v3=tid3 v1=tid1, v3=tid3 ... I am using subquery to query the above condition, but I am not sure if any better method to speed up my query? Any suggestion for my usage? Thanks.

Magento and Drupal
by Nicola 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi Gurus, I want to analyze the possibility to integrate a Magento project with drupal framework. We have a Magento site with the possibility to have hundreds shops.The problem we have found is: how to allow any shop man to manage his content, for examples news, products, categories and so on. IMHO, I think that drupal can create the right interface to manage this process, but I don't understand how. I have read a lot of tutorial and drupal forum threads, but no one tell about my scenario. Any opinions/advice will be more appreciated.

28 Feb '11

Where are we on this? I thought the Git migration was happening on Thursday, but I haven't heard anything yet. I'm trying to find out the git repository URL, but I haven't found any definitive docs? Should I still be committing changes to CVS or no? Dave

Variable overriding in SimpleTest environments
by Christian López Espínola 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi, I'm trying to build with SimpleTest some acceptance tests for the D6 based sites I'm developing. For achieving this, I am creating a module that checks if configuration values are the correct ones, with tests like this one: public function testFileDirectoryPathIsTheRightOne () { $dirpath = variable_get('file_directory_path', 'sites/default/files'); // tried file_directory_path() too instead of reading the variable. $this->pass($dirpath); $this->assertEqual( 'sites/default/files', $dirpath, 'The file directory path is correct' ); } But (obviously) the simpletest environment that is being built overrides this setting (p.e.: file_directory_path() and the variable 'file_directory_path' have the value sites/default/files/simpletest/275031). Is any way of checking the values of the original site? I'm thinking about checking that $dirpath begins with 'sites/default/files', but not sure if there is a better way of assuring this).

Hi all, I'm enjoying the dev posts, but I seem to get 3 or 4 emails per day. There are 3 or 4 posts per email. Is there some way to get one email per day with all the posts? I went to http://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/development But there doesn't appear to be a settings option available. Any suggestions? Thanks. Sent from my mobile
