Re: [drupal-support] 4.6.x vs 4.5.x

Hi Alex, I have had no stability problems with either versions of Drupal. Also, security would be equally good in either versions, as security updates for both versions are released simultaneously if a security flaw is present in both versions. Regards, Kobus >>> notmyprivateemail(a)gmail.com 10/4/2005 11:09 AM >>> Hi there. I'm in the process of setting up my first drupal site. I'm plunging through the manual. So far I'm very impressed. I'm wondering whether I should go with 4.5.x or 4.6.x? In this project stability and security are more important than having a gazillion features. alex -- Alex Polite http://flosspick.org - finding the right open source -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Re: [drupal-support] Banner module
by Kobus Myburgh 03 Oct '05

Larry, I haven't installed the banner module, and therefore can't check for you unless I install it. Simply spoken, you'd have to edit the source code of the banner, search for   and remove it from the code. I also urge you to send your reports to the support list and not to me in person, as this one landed up in my spam filter. I have exclusions in place for the Drupal lists (by means of subject scanning), and furthermore, there are people who might see your question and help you before I can get around to do it.

[drupal-support] Remembering page location when hitting back button
by Steve Dondley 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

If I'm reading a Slashdot article and click a link halfway down a very long page and get taken to another site. After I'm done reading the current page, I hit the back button. The last page loads, momentarily shows the top of the page, and then magically repositions the page to the location where I clicked the link. How is this done? I think the browser does this for you. But then why doesn't it happen with Drupal? Maybe the clean urls are preventing this from happening? Has anyone explored ways to get this behavior to work with Drupal? I know I can shift click to avoid the problem of losing my place but I don't always remember to do that. It's frustrating to have to scroll down and find my place again, especially in a long thread.

[drupal-support] Feeds aren't updating
by Steve Dondley 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I'm having a very strange problem with my feeds. I have 3 total. The first one updates fine. The other two don't update at all (one of them is Slashdot---http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf---which I know probably works). When I click "update items", I don't get any error. But the "last update" and "next update" say "never" and zero items show. Both urls are fully qualified. How is it that 1 feed can get updated fine while the others do not? -- Dondley Communications http://www.dondleycommunications.com Communicate or Die: American Labor Unions and the Internet http://www.communicateordie.com

[drupal-support] SOLVED Overriding theme causing problems with static variables
by Steve Dondley 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Problem solved: I simply moved the code that dealt with the static variable from the aggregator_page_item.tpl.php file into the phptemplate_aggregator_page_item() function in the template.php file. -- Dondley Communications http://www.dondleycommunications.com Communicate or Die: American Labor Unions and the Internet http://www.communicateordie.com

[drupal-support] Overriding theme causing problems with static variables
by Steve Dondley 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I've overridden the aggregator_page_item function, responsible for displaying rss items on the /aggregator page. I overrode using the phptemplate theme. The function uses a static variable called $last. But apparently, the act of overriding the theme function renders static variables useless. The $last variable gets reset every time the function is called. Anyone know how I can get around this? -- Dondley Communications http://www.dondleycommunications.com Communicate or Die: American Labor Unions and the Internet http://www.communicateordie.com
