RSS Feeds, enable two feeds
by RJ 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Has anyone tried to enable two RSS Feeds? I want to enable "Full Text" and "Titles plus teaser". Currently I'm using "Titles plus teaser" and have some subscribers. I now have a need for "Full Text" and don't want to lose my current users. Any ideas or just a good place to start looking for the answer would be very helpful. Thanks R Johnson

how to shrink sessions table
by Laura Scott 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

We have one site that is on the busy side and the sessions table is getting, shall we say, on the largish side (303k records). I'm looking at reducing that. I'm assuming this would be done in settings.php. ini_set('session.cache_expire', 200000); ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'none'); ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000); ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 200000); My question: Which of these settings should we cut down to reduce the number of records? (We don't want to log people out upon closing the browser, so that approach is out.) Would I cut down the cookie_lifetime? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Laura, the MySQL klutz

I'm trying to understand what this is in the signup module. In the signup_log database it looks like this: a:2:{s:4:"Name";s:6:"brenda";s:5:"Phone";s:10:"5555551234";} Brenda Boggs Abtech Creative bboggs(a)abtechcreative.com

Webform upgrade
by Grand Junction 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my webform module (as the security notice just came out) and can't seem to do it. I have a feeling it's a problem with getting the module cache to refresh. I'm still using 4.6.x version, and there's supposed to be an "upgrade" link on the settings page, but I don't see it. I've tried disabling the module, saving configuration, and then enabling it again, but that doesn't seem to have changed the settings page. Any suggestions? Thanks, Matthew O'Malley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Image module
by Steve Smith 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Im considering Drupal for a Photographic Society website. I need each user to have their own gallery into which only they and admin can upload, but everyone can view. Can you do this with the Image module ( http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/image)? Steve :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SteveSmith

Re: [support] Module use examples
by Kobus Myburgh 11 Jul '06

Hi, Some module authors have such links in their module's download section, as they use their own module somewhere, or know of people using it, but others don't. Sometimes it is just not possible to provide such links to showcase a demo, as you need to give visitors too much access on your site to see full functionality. Best plan in my opinion is to download and test on a temporary install and remove if you don't like it. Regards, Kobus >>> cozzi(a)blinkitshere.com 7/11/2006 2:14:06 PM >>> Maybe I'm missing something but is there a resource somewhere that ties together example with Modules? For example: When I visit http://drupal.org/project/acidfree it would be very helpful for someone considering the use of the module if there were a library of links to some sites that exhibit the module in action.

RE: [support] Failure executing any page
by Metzler, David 11 Jul '06

Could this be related to something about your custom theme? If you have a custom theme, one thing to try would be to rename in a stock theme. Rename your themes folder to something like suspect_theme, and then make a copy of bluemarine theme folder and name it the same as your custom theme. See if that get's you logged in. If you find out the theme is the problem, then you can set a single login to use/test your custom theme (renamed of course) to work through the problem. Does what I said make sense? IF that doesn't work, another test would be to temporarily move out CCK or views (or any other custom modules) to see if that's causing the problem. Good Luck, Dave ________________________________ From: support-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Ivan Boothe,Genocide Intervention Network Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 4:01 PM To: support(a)drupal.org Subject: [support] Failure executing any page Hi, I'm running Drupal 4.7.2 and was working with CCK when things suddenly stopped working. I realize that CCK (and views, which I was also using) are not yet core, but at the time this error began I was simply adding and editing nodes, so I really don't know where this thing came from. Anyway, when I try to execute any page (basically anything in which I click a button) I get a blank page. If I reload the page or hit enter in the address bar, the action is executed but I get errors popping up, specifically the "cannot modify header information" error, which from prior experience I know probably is indicative of some other unknown error. So then I made the big mistake, which was that I thought if I logged in as user #1 I could troubleshoot things more exactly ... silly me, I can't log in because, of course, the form isn't being executed. Since I can't log in there's not a lot I can do. But looking at the watchdog table in the database I'm getting the following entries each time I try to log in: Session opened for <em>[user1]</em>. [that's good!] session_regenerate_id(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/[mypath]/themes/[mytheme]/template.php:50) in /var/www/[mypath]/modules/user.module on line 943. [not so good] Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/darfurscores/themes/[mytheme]/template.php:50) in /var/www/[mypath]/includes/common.inc on line 266. Line 943 in the user.module is, as it specifies, session_regenerate_id, which I gather tries to set the cookie that marks me as logged in. Line 266 in common.inc is in the drupal_goto function, where it tries to invoke the header. If anyone has any ideas at this point, I would love to hear them. Some specific things that would be helpful for me to gather more information: - Anyone have any ideas how I could log in or set that cookie without going through that form? - Anyone know what row in which table controls what theme is set? Since I'm using a custom theme, and the problem could be in the template, switching to another theme might solve it or at least allow me to investigate. - Is there anywhere else I could look for besides watchdog to figure out what the errors are? - Are there any good database analysis/repair tools, in case it's some kind of corrupted database entry? - I tried turning off all modules (everything except the required ones, even core) and that didn't fix it. I turned them all back on before I tried switching users, so I could turn them all back off directly in the database if that would be a good idea. Should I try removing the non-core module tables in the database completely? Is there a list somewhere of the tables and rows that CCK and views (though I think if there were a problem it would be CCK) create/affect? Some are obvious, but I imagine they create entries in various tables that I might not think to look in... Any help would be greatly appreciated, as right now I have a very pretty, very nonfunctioning site... --ivan
