[drupal-support] ad hoc forum support?
by Miles Fidelman 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi Folks, Is there a module that would provide and "ad hoc" forum capability, somewhat along the following lines: 1. create a topic that has a unique URL and email address (with a simple interface) 2. include the URL in a mailing (e.g., include something in a newsletter or announcement email that says "to discuss this topic further, click here") 3. when you click, you are taken to a discussion page, and given the option to "subscribe to this topic by email" 4. at which point, you are subscribed to a topic-specific email discussion that has it's own archive/forum page I've seen things like this in various bulletin board / forum systems, and they're really useful for things like: - getting discussion going around a specific topic - soliciting responses to an article - getting people involved in a specific project Thanks much, Miles

[drupal-support] Critical problem

I find this strange because it doesn't lag at all before dying so it doesn't seem simply a crash due to usage. It can be something messing with the referrers? And there's a way to disable temporarly that part? -HRose / Abalieno

[drupal-support] mucking with the book module and flexinode :)
by Anisa 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

So, this goes along with what I was asking about earlier. I want to make my site as user friendly as possible because it's contribution based, and if you aren't friendly to the contributors...! Totally love the custom menu module in that regard, by the by. I have one book that uses two flexinode types. Book > A > Series (flexinode series) > Set (flexinode set-info) Contributors will be donating set pages. The most *intuitive* way to do that, I think, is if they are looking at the Series page and they think, hey, I want to add set information here! What I would like to do, that doesn't seem so hard, is the following: Change the 'add child page' on the bottom of all 'Series' pages in this book to 'add set information to this series' where it will add a child page of the flexinode type 'set-info'. I was thinking perhaps I could muck up the book module a bit and make a very specific add child function since it's the book module that adds this, not flexinode. Sounds possible? Sounds kinda interesting to me. ^.^ Anisa.

[drupal-support] flexinode title field
by Anisa 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

How do I change it? It seems hard coded. (Drupal 4.5.2) I think I could manage something if I could just change the field name. Anisa.

Team, I am totally new to Drupal. I am a developer using java, bea weblogic and oracle. I heard that drupal is quick and easy to create some websites. I downloaded drupal-4.5.2. Can anybody guide me what need to be done next? 1. How to use drupal? 2. Want to know how to use the demo at the following site: http://opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=132 I want to see the demo before I make a decision whether this suits our requirements. 3. Will this work with oracle? If anybody can provide me a kickstart, that would be a great help! Thanks a lot for your support. Your help is greately appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/

[drupal-support] sql guru pager question
by Bèr Kessels 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hi there $result = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT DISTINCT u.uid, u.name FROM {users} u LEFT JOIN {node} n ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE n.type = 'blog' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.created DESC"), variable_get('default_nodes_main', 10)); seems to break on the pager. Look here http://staging.webschuur.com/blog/list for what I mean. DISTINCT correctly removes all users that have no blog entries. But either the pager, or the JOIN breaks the amount in the pager. Anyone there who hasa n idea whats going on here?

[drupal-support] Corrupted Sessions Table
by Ken Dow 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hi, I had an 4.4.2 site outage this morning with the following error: Fatal error: Can't open file: 'sessions.MYD'. (errno: 145) query: SELECT u.*, s.*, r.name AS role FROM users u INNER JOIN sessions s ON u.uid = s.uid LEFT JOIN role r ON u.rid = r.rid WHERE s.sid = 'e9cc93bab76197fbf51609636250a9f8' AND u.status < 3 LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.ca/httpdocs/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 97 The site was moved to a different directory and database location (same Apache/PHP/MySQL host) last week and was running fine over the weekend. When I checked with phpMyAdmin, it was unable to open the sessions table, so I dropped and recreated it and then everything was fine. My questions: 1) Could moving a Drupal installation, including the database with sessions table and other data, cause this? Should some data not be moved - only the table structure? 2) Should I be concerned about other possible errors in the database? Thanks in advance. -- Ken Chase two rabbits, catch none. - Japanese proverb

[drupal-support] Nodewords not working 4.5.2 and 4.6.0
by Ron Mahon 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Some where between 4.50 and 4.5.2 and 4.6.0 node words broke. I didn't discover it until I couldn't get nodewords to work in 4.6.0 rc . Did the API change at 4.5.2 ? The data continues to be written to the database but I cannot read it anymore. I am using the chameleon-marvin theme. If I force a string in to $nodewords it displays correctly. ($nodewords = "some keyword data") it appears that "$nodewords = module_invoke('nodewords', 'get', $nid);" Is not working. I am completely lost on this, any help would be appreciated. Here is the relevant code $nodewords = module_invoke("nodewords", "get", $nid); if (preg_match("!^node/view/(\\d+)$!", $_GET['q'], $tmp_nid)) { if (!($words = nodewords_get($tmp_nid[1]))) { $words = "internet marketing"; } } $output .= '<' . 'meta name="keywords" content="' . $nodewords . '">';
