[drupal-support] mass mailer says can't fine php executable even though it's in /usr/bin/
by Petre Scheie 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

I installed the mass mailer module, and can create messages, but no messages are being sent out. Looking in the message queue, I see "You do not have the php executable in your system path and it cannot be located in /usr/bin or usr/local/bin." But php IS in /usr/bin, with 755 for permissions. Why can't it see it? TIA. Petre Scheie

Re: [drupal-support] Deprecated function

Gerhard, After sending the mail, I found the solution for that specific error. I cast the second argument into an array, and that one went away, and the next similar error popped up. I fixed that, and the next one popped up, so this is going to be a hectic one to fix manually. 1. I can't upgrade this site to 4.6 as I have customized several modules something fierce, and didn't keep record of all the changes (silly me!) 2. I just switched hosters, can't switch again ;) 3. I asked my host to turn of the E_STRICT switch. I would rather go for option #3, as it is mostly disrupting the site's layout. I can't see other negative effects of this error. This might be a problem in the future, but then I will bug my hosts again ;) Sorry for sending this mail to the list so quickly - it was an impulse reaction, as my customer's site is/was looking icky, and I sorta panicked, as it is a pretty high traffic site as far as my customer sites go...

It is the first Drupal version to support PHP 5 - Change hosters or get them to run PHP 4.3. - Set Error Reporting such that those warnings aren't reported anymore. Read the PHP manual for this.

[drupal-support] Deprecated function
by Kobus Myburgh 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hi, I have a site based on Drupal 4.3, which I can not upgrade to 4.6 at this moment in time, because I have customized several modules to get the site they want it now. I have moved to a new web host today with this particular site, and I assume their PHP version is higher than the one installed at my old host, so, not sure how to overcome this problem. This host has created my account seemingly on a Windows server, although I was under the impression that I signed up for a Linux account (judged by the drive letter in the path...). I don't think that this matters though. I am merely mentioning this because I had to rename the .htaccess file for the site to load properly, and maybe the solution lies thereabouts... Do you guys have any suggestions for me, please? Regards, Kobus ============ : Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\Domains\transvalia.net\wwwroot\modules\system.module on line 282. warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in C:\Domains\transvalia\wwwroot\includes\module.inc on line 36.

[drupal-support] access control and menus
by William Meertens 29 May '05

29 May '05

Hi all, I'm a bit troubled with the combination access control and menus. An example: I would like to give access control to forums for all visitors. In return I don't want to see the forum link in the menu if the visitor is not registered. This can sound strange. You could think whats the point if a visitor can open a forum to read, but in return can't see the link to do it. The answer is simple. I want a menu as clean and short as possible. Since there will be a block with the latest port, every visitor can click on that block to read it. In return he or she would be ending up in the forum and therefor there would be no need to make a menu item for this action. Basically it comes to this. Can you change the permissions on menu items individually. When to show up, and when not to show up for certain circumstances. Thanks in advance.

[drupal-support] RSS items as nodes(?) on other pages?
by Chris Johnson 28 May '05

28 May '05

Any thoughts on how I could go about accomplishing the following? I want to aggregate some RSS feeds and have them show up beneath the sticky posts at the top of page, as if they were nodes in that page's taxonomy. I don't want people to have to go to /aggregator to see them -- and would in fact, prefer not to have them appear there. I thought maybe I needed to have my RSS items be first class nodes, and took a look at contrib module node_aggregator, but that module is way out of date. Then I thought maybe I'm just missing something simpler that all you smart folks might know about. :-) Suggestions? -- Chris Johnson

[drupal-support] Finally made the choice.
by William Meertens 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hi all, After a long time of testing and head-breaking, I made the switch to Drupal. I needed a new CMS for an ever growing project I started 2 years ago. Back in the beginning I started with PHP-nuke, not knowing of anything else. After three months I got hacked (or better cracked) so I made the easy switch to Postnuke. Only since last year I needed something better, something more stable. The choice was hard, even when it was clear from the start that Drupal would make it in the final. I have tested more then 100 CMS systems, some good, some very bad. Eventually the podium was Mambo on 3 and Typo3 in second. Where Mambo comes in short for multiple site configuration and Typo3 in to much server demanding and complex. Now that I made the choice of Drupal I was wondering. Are there here some friendly people that would like to help build or fine tune a worlds winner site. This for the worlds biggest and absolute number 1 women cycling site. Of course you would get full credentials for your input. Which should count for something. Even if we are still rather small, we are growing every day without limits. The ladies cycling sport is a very underestimated sport, as well as not a full professional sport. Helping shape the future of cycling is our goal. And you can be part of that to. Even if you are not in to cycling, it does not matter. What should matter for you is expanding you referrals and credentials for future projects and prospects. Looking at the weather I can't ask for hard work, just tips and hints. I will do the hard work in this 30 degree hot weather. Surprise me and overload my mailbox. Hopefully with good mails ;-). Have fun, William. -- \|/ ____ \|/ _ _ ` _ ' //// @~/ ,. \~@ o' \,=./ `o - (_) - (o -) /_( \__/ )_\ (o o) ' ` +-----------ooO--(_)--Ooo-----\__U_/----ooO--(_)--Ooo------------------+ http://www.meewi.be SMILE http://www.ladiescycling.net it cost nothing and http://www.hostinglc.net it's beyond price ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
