Wow, Really? That should be it. Done it zillions of times. Just to confirm: It doen't show up in the "administer/themes" list of themes, right? The one obvious thing to check is permissions: Does the anonymous web user that you're running apache on have permissions on the newly installed engines and theme? If their not owned by the www user, make sure the chmod o+rx. ________________________________ From: Bruce Whealton [mailto:brucewhealton@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 2:50 PM To: Metzler, David; support(a)drupal.org Subject: RE: [support] Basic help getting started Hi, Thanks for the help/support.

making image module work with multisite
by Ryan Grace 11 Jan '06

okay. this is strange that images wont show up on other subsites in multisite mode. there is nothing in the node table for each image pointing to which subsite it was added under. yet, when you try to view an image node, the image only shows on the subsite it was added under.. the other sites just get the node name and comments without an image... see thefractal.org/node any ideas? thanks ryan grace.

PHPTemplate to be uploaded here theme/engine/PHPTemplate This is the correct way.... and yes that, plus the permissions issue are most likely the culprits. Dave ________________________________ From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Whealton Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 6:52 AM To: support(a)drupal.org Cc: MeltzlerD(a)evergreen.edu Subject: RE: [support] Basic help getting started I know this shouldn't be happening. Here are some thoughts. One is that the PHPTemplate was installed wrong. I added another theme also that uses PHPTemplate and that might be setup wrong. It was civicspace and I wasn''t sure if it should go in the themes/engine/civicspace folder or in the themes/civicspace So, with it appearing in two different places at once could that cause a problem? Again, the themes that use PHPTemplate are the ones not showing up in the administer/themes page. Is PHPTemplate to be uploaded here theme/engine/PHPTemplate or should the content of PHPTemplate be put into theme/engine? Why would it be that when I login as admin, the new theme that I set as default is not being used? The anonymous user sees a theme that I would like to have logged in users seeing also. I set it as default but it seems that it isn't being used when I log in. Why would this be? Thanks in advance, Bruce "Metzler, David" <MetzlerD(a)evergreen.edu> wrote: Wow, Really? That should be it.

4.6 tagged versions
by Mike Gifford 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hi, I need to access a 4.6 version of a drupal module that's in the CVS contrib directory. Trick is that the cvs is already at the 4.7 version (yeah - but not for this project). How do I pull down the 4.6 version from the cvs. I've got the cvs of the drupal contribs, but haven't pulled out a 4.6 branch before. Are there docs somewhere you could point me to?

save configurationfor modules does not work
by Erik Steffl 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

I have a NEW (not an upgrade) drupal install: Drupal 4.6.5, 2005-12-12) mysql 4.0.24 php 4.3.11 it seems to be mostly working didn't try everything yet) except of Few administration tasks in Administer section. 'Modules' and 'Theme' pages show me the list of modules/themes, some are required, the rest are disabled. If I check any module/theme's 'Enabled' checkbox and hit the 'Save configuration' button I get the following error (example for one module, if I check more than one the same stuff is repeated): warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in ./includes/database.inc on line 164. user error: Query was empty query: in ./includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66. warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ./includes/common.inc:384) in ./includes/common.inc on line 192. other db errors when trying to enable blocks: warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ./includes/database.mysql.inc on line 239. any ideas what's going on? It looks like there's something wrong with the database (I just installed it, it was not an upgrade). TIA erik
