Error trying to upgrade to 4.7.4
by Grand Junction 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my site from Drupal 4.6.8 to 4.7.4. I set up a test server, and everything was working there as 4.6.8. I logged in as the user 1, then removed all the old files and modules, loaded up the new files and modules, and ran update.php. I got the following error: Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/devpri/public_html/includes/form.inc on line 98 Now, this doesn't seem to make any sense, because line 98 is: $form += _element_info('form'); And I don't see any unsupported operand types there. Can anyone suggest the next steps to try to resolve this issue? Many thanks, Matthew O'Malley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

unified login for multiple domains
by Joe Murray 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

You have to share a database if you want to share login users / roles, etc. You should change 'default' => 'tld_', for each of the third level domains to: 'default' => 'tld1_', ... 'default' => 'tldn_', In order for all of the non-shared drupal tables to be unique for each third level domain (this will give you different content for each site). There are further possible complications if you are using CiviCRM. It sounds like you may only need one instance of CiviCRM, but more likely you want several sites to all use CiviCRM and have a shared CiviCRM database. See http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/CiviCRM+for+Drupal+-+Configur e+Multi-site+Installations for more info - it may be slightly dated in some details at this point but the general ideas remain the same. > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 19:25:28 -0800 > From: Hugh Esco <he(a)reclaimedcomputers.ca> > Subject: [support] unified login for multiple domains > To: support(a)drupal.org > Message-ID: <20061208192528.7b2d9a15.he(a)reclaimedcomputers.ca> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > > I've been reading through forum threads on the drupal site > (mostly a year or two old), trying to piece together how it > is I would provide for a single unified login that would > permit folks to interlink between multiple instances of > drupal at a handful of third level domains providing > different services to the volunteers and members of an > organization as well as the folks they attract to their public site. > > I'd be happy to draft a Handbook page on the subject if I > could get some clarification and direction from those who > have plowed this row before. > > One of these sites hosts civicrm and serves as a back office > application server to support distributed volunteers working > together.

Using two databases
by José Salgado 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi all. I'm using two databases in drupal, one for drupal itself and another to connect with mailman via MySQL. The issue is, if I use de stander form: db_set_active('mailman'); to change to the mailman DB doesn't work, seems stiked on the drupal database. I'm try to create a function that changes the database, but doesn't work at all. So, I have to make the changes using the classic $dbi = mysql_connect("localhost", "USER", "PASS"); mysql_select_db("mailman", $dbi); at the bennging of each function and reconect again to drupal using the same technique. The issue here I don't like the way I do it and I rather preffer the "standard" of db_set_active, but doesn't work. What I'm doing wrong? By the way, I'm using the lastest estable version of Drupal.

Upgrading through several versions
by Grand Junction 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi, I have an older version of Drupal 4.6 and want to upgrade to the latest in 4.7. Assuming that all the relevant modules have been upgraded, can I just install the latest version of 4.7? Or do I need to get each version in between in order to step up? (I apologize if this information is available on drupal.org - I did some searching but didn't come up with it.) Thanks, Matthew O'Malley ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a quick answer? Get one in minutes from people who know.

optional css configurable by visitors
by Mohammed Al-shar' 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

hello. this was posted at the drupal forms but got no reply, so I am trying my luck here. I have found this page that explains how to have an optional css file configurable by visitors. http://drupal.org/node/59895 since I want users to choose between high-contrast and normal colors, I am very much keen on getting it to work. I have tried it on my website but it didn't work for some reason. may be there's something I am not getting? or may be some typo that I couldn't figure out? has anybody been able to get it to work? if so any examples? and, if not, do you know of a similar hack that would produce similar results? any help, as ever, will be highly appreciated. Regards, Mohammed al-shar'

How to override this variable?
by marcob 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hello list, can anyone be so kind to tell how (and if?) is possible to override in a multisite two variables coming from the Category_default.module initially looking like: INSERT INTO `variable` VALUES ('catdef_storylink_50', 'i:0;'); so that they finally look like: INSERT INTO `variable` VALUES ('catdef_storylink_50', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:"75";}'); ? I've tryed in different ways, but keep getting errors: 1. using the whole string: 'catdef_storylink_50'=> 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:"75";}', 2. using only what's in between graffles: 'catdef_storylink_50'=> '{i:0;s:2:"75";}', 3. using only the number of the category: 'catdef_storylink_50'=> '75', i keep getting the same error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /public_html/drupal/sites/mysite.com/settings.php on line 162 starting doubting this is actually possible... Thanks lot marco

unified login for multiple domains
by Hugh Esco 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

I've been reading through forum threads on the drupal site (mostly a year or two old), trying to piece together how it is I would provide for a single unified login that would permit folks to interlink between multiple instances of drupal at a handful of third level domains providing different services to the volunteers and members of an organization as well as the folks they attract to their public site. I'd be happy to draft a Handbook page on the subject if I could get some clarification and direction from those who have plowed this row before. One of these sites hosts civicrm and serves as a back office application server to support distributed volunteers working together. Another will be a members site, plus a blog, plus perhaps another public site. What I've figured out so far, is summed up with: in each sites/tld.ourdomain.org/settings.php ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'ourdomain.org'); * $db_prefix = array( * 'default' => 'tld_', * 'users' => 'shared_', * 'sessions' => 'shared_', * 'role' => 'shared_', * 'authmap' => 'shared_', * 'sequences' => 'shared_', * ); And here is where I'm guessing to bridge it all together, creating VIEWs for each of those shared_ tables which looks instead at a single user table; at which domain or database, I;m not sure. We want to collect that data in our crm instance, but I'd prefer not to expose that to the public. I want someone who has logged in to www. or blog. to not face an additional log in when they look at members. or crm, but to be turned away if their user shouldn't be on those sites. I thought I'd outline this here and ask for feedback on this general approach before getting lost in a trial by error forced march. Has anyone who has done this before know how to best proceed here? Am I on the right track with the sql views? I'd certainly apreciate some direction. Thanks, -- Hugh Esco

Access denied: You are not authorized to access this page - problem.
by David Holden 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Hello, I'm installing drupal 5.7.4, using MySQL 5.0.24-standard, PHP 5.2.0. I've followed the installation instruction, until it sent me a mail saying admin, You may now login to http://localhost:8080/drupal using the following username and password: username: admin password: *thepassword* http://localhost:8301/drupal/?q=user/1/edit When I go there and try and change anything, e.g. the admin password, every time I submit it comes back with the "User Login" page and:- Access denied: You are not authorized to access this page. I can click login and it lets me in but nothing is changed. Anyone have any ideas, Cheers, Dave.
