I had a self modified trackback module, so the patch at first did fail - quietly! With the fresh/original module it finally does work - I started it in the middle of a heavy trackback spam attack and it worked perfectly. Thank you, Franz

[drupal-support] How to replace link_node()?
by Franz Iberl 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hallo again, I am using a modified PHP-theme with 4.5.2 4.6 has switched and droped the function "link-node" (which is somewhere defined as a wrapper-function), seen on http://drupal.org/node/12352: "Node links no longer use the link_node() function, but instead are passed as an array in $node->links. PHP-based themes will need to be updated to pass this array through theme('links'). Template-based themes shouldn't need any changes." How do I "pass this array through theme('links')"? I did no find enough info for me to manage this. Servus Franz -- http://amazonas.the-dot.de

[drupal-support] Login problems
by Maykel Moya 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

I can authenticate on my drupal as admin (uid = 1) from almost every url. But, after authenticated, I can see the list of roles/permissions on admin/access. If I update something, after 'Save' drupal says Access denied. Then I cannot relogin while the path is still admin/access. In the log what says is access denied to path/access to Anonymous. Is like the Drupal. Regards, maykel

[drupal-support] dealing with a large vocabulary
by Anisa 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

I am looking for advice. I am planning to make a vocabulary of Anime Series. (ah, the rare girl otaku ;). I haven't thought it all through, but I believe making the vocabulary has lots of benefits in terms of cross referencing everything on the site. Obviously, there are thousands of series, though. Technically, I will limit them to things that have to do with the site, which cuts it down some. I initially split it up into # - B, C - E, etc, but ran into problems with the cvs weblinks module, since it would only let you choose one vocabulary for navigation, and I wanted it to spit out links for each series (it makes sense for what I was trying to do, promise). So then, I thought, okay, maybe it would be better to make it all one big list. But as I make it, I lose confidence. Is this how people deal with large vocabularies in Drupal? I don't know that I want my users to have to select from such a big list, but six little lists looked ugly too. Any advice appreciated. Anisa.

[drupal-support] Drupal and Cookies
by Wayne Johnson 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

One of the users of our drupal site (www.tripolimn.org) is complaining that he can't connect to the site. Everytime he does, he gets a 404. No one else sees this problem. He recently found that if he deletes his cookies, he can access the site, for one page only. After that, he has to clean his cookies again. He is also having this problem on multiple PCs. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas? --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.

[drupal-support] Infinite problems with urls
by Abalieno 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

I moved mt site to Dreamhost. I tried to run php as CGI as suggested but this breaks Drupal because the .htaccess directives and the other php variables do not work. So I went back to use php as a module and now I have the problem of the urls going crazy with strange characters. For example I cannot delete users or modify the accounts: drupal/user/8/edit?destination=admin%2Fuser%26from%3D450 That screws the commands I send and Drupal ignores them. There's a way to solve this? Why it happens? -HRose / Abalieno

[drupal-support] Throttle used in a theme
by Abalieno 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

I know I can but I don't have the knowledge to figure out how to do it. Is there an example I can see so that I can then adapt it to my needs? In a module I'd use something like: if (throttle_status() == 1) { } But where I put that and what I put inside? I currently use the default xtemplate engine and I don't know if I should put the code in the xtemplate.xtmpl or in the engine itself, or both. Can someone paste me a bit of code to show, for example, just an image after checking the throttle? -HRose / Abalieno

[drupal-support] get node currently seen
by Maykel Moya 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

How can I get a reference to the currently viewed node from a phptemplate based theme ? An option (not the most elegant) could be cut the irrelevant part of the path to left only 'node/15' or 'node/50', but this don't work with aliased nodes. Regards, maykel

[drupal-support] Strange Session Behavior
by John Goerzen 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

I've had a lot of weird experiences with sessions this week. They sometimes seem to time out in mere seconds. It's even not hard to see a page, perhaps a comment reply page, that lists my logged-in name under "Your name", shows the administer menu under navigation (though without my username), yet also shows the user login box as if I'm not logged in -- all on a single page. I am baffled, and I've seen some comments left by people other than me show up as if they were left by me. I also saw my wife's session suddely switch from her username to mine, in the middle of working around on the site. Here are the things I've tried: * Deleteing everything in the sessions table * Upgrading from Drupal 4.5.1 to 4.6.0 * Disabling cache support in Settings * Clearing browser cache and cookies * Enabling PHP entropy for session IDs This whole problem started after I: * Disabled the Spam module * Enabled the Captcha module * Used a MySQL query to remove about 2500 spam comments from the comments table, dropped the spam_* tables, then followed the instructions on drupal.org for forcing a rebuild of the search index * Applied the small Captha patch to the comment module The problem most frequently occurs when I go to leave a comment. It's 100% reproducible when I pull up the "leave a comment" page. However, I believe it did occur in other circumstances before, though I can't reproduce them now. Here's another weird thing. I host four drupal sites on this machine. All four exhibited the problem. Now one is working fine, but another is still problematic (I haven't tested the other two). I can't think what may have caused the one to become "normal" again. I am using all of the Drupal defaults for the PHP session-handling parameters. Thanks, John
