First thing I would try would be to go to admin/build/moudles and click on the uninstall tab and see if that works. I have seen modules thaT i had to delete their blocks by hand. -----Original Message----- From: "Bob Salsburg" <bsisok(a)gmail.com> To: "drupal support" <support(a)drupal.org> Sent: 12/28/2008 5:50 PM Subject: [support] Old stuff hanging around I have some oddness occurring with my 6.8 installation.There are a few modules that I tried out and subsequently abandoned.

content type notebook
by sivaji j.g 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

hello guys, I am working on e-learning project which requires a scribbling pad like feature in which students can add/edit the content and save them. I have rough idea on how to make it. 1. To create a content type notebook 2. To define permission like students can edit/add content and save/retrieve them 3. The node must be displayed as block parallel video and it should be ready for use i.e content adding or editing like editor all time Now what i need is,a node must be created automatically as soon as a student registers and it should be displayed as blocks with edit option, scribbling pad of one user cant be accessible to other uses how can i make it possible ? I tried node as block drupal module it just displays teaser of a node as block. I am looking forward for your suggestion. -- Thanks a lot ----------------------------------------- http://ubuntuslave.blogspot.com/

mailing list "Search archives" broken
by David Christensen 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

support(a)drupal.org: When I go to the web page for this mailing list: http://lists.drupal.org/listinfo/support and click on "Search archives", I end up here: http://lists.drupal.org/archives/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?idxname=drupal-suppo rt My browser (IE7) says: The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404 Most likely causes: There might be a typing error in the address. If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date. What you can try: Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. Go to and look for the information you want. More information This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage. For more information about HTTP errors, see Help. This problem has existed since yesterday. If/when is the search function going to be fixed? TIA, David

week's and month's popular content
by Vasanth Govind 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hi all, The requirement is to display the popular content of this week and popular content of this month. This is done by fetching the content which has more number of hits or views. We have Drupal's node_counter table in which we have the totalcount and daycount fields which has views per day and total. Any one help me optimized MySQL query which can fetch this details in a quicker way. Currently the data is fetched from accesslog table which is not much optimized and very slow. Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards Vasanth Govind

Reducing Number of Queries
by Brian Choc 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Greetings, I've been asked for help regarding a site on a shared hosting provider (MediaTemple). Recently the owner received an email indicating "..Today our automated systems checked your database activity again and determined your activity continues to exceed the MySQL SmartPool v.2 resources included with your Grid-Server..." Caching is on (normal) as is block caching and the other options available in the performance menu. I've turned up the minimum cache lifetime to an hour -- there is a fair amount of traffic but the content is relatively static. I've never had the "problem" of too much traffic before, and I am not sure what tools are available to attempt to minimize this, nor am I positive when how to evaluate when resources are at their limit and it's simply best to upgrade the server resources ... so I'm wondering if anyone would have any suggestions or tools or tips on this? I'll paste the included MySQL report below, in case that information is helpful. Thanks, Brian Your MySQL Report is shown below: MySQL 4.1.25-Debian_mt1 uptime 2 0:0:33 Fri Dec 19 23:06:39 2008 __ Key _________________________________________________________________ Buffer used 816.00k of 24.00M %Used: 3.32 Current 3.50M %Usage: 14.59 Write hit 49.36% Read hit 99.98% __ Questions ___________________________________________________________ Total 7.09M 41.0/s QC Hits 6.04M 34.9/s %Total: 85.12 DMS 632.06k 3.7/s 8.91 Com_ 262.45k 1.5/s 3.70 COM_QUIT 161.04k 0.9/s 2.27 -Unknown 120 0.0/s 0.00 Slow 236 0.0/s 0.00 %DMS: 0.04 DMS 632.06k 3.7/s 8.91 SELECT 478.10k 2.8/s 6.74 75.64 DELETE 52.29k 0.3/s 0.74 8.27 UPDATE 51.03k 0.3/s 0.72 8.07 INSERT 50.65k 0.3/s 0.71 8.01 REPLACE 0 0/s 0.00 0.00 Com_ 262.45k 1.5/s 3.70 set_option 261.82k 1.5/s 3.69 check 316 0.0/s 0.00 show_proces 288 0.0/s 0.00 __ SELECT and Sort _____________________________________________________ Scan 65.59k 0.4/s %SELECT: 13.72 Range 86.67k 0.5/s 18.13 Full join 0 0/s 0.00 Range check 0 0/s 0.00 Full rng join 0 0/s 0.00 Sort scan 1.72k 0.0/s Sort range 174.90k 1.0/s Sort mrg pass 0 0/s __ Query Cache _________________________________________________________ Memory usage 7.08M of 12.00M %Used: 58.97 Block Fragmnt 15.76% Hits 6.04M 34.9/s Inserts 478.10k 2.8/s Insrt:Prune 1.55:1 1.0/s Hit:Insert 12.63:1 __ Table Locks _________________________________________________________ Waited 48 0.0/s %Total: 0.00 Immediate 1.18M 6.8/s __ Tables ______________________________________________________________ Open 331 of 1024 %Cache: 32.32 Opened 337 0.0/s __ Connections _________________________________________________________ Max used 34 of 60 %Max: 56.67 Total 161.11k 0.9/s __ Created Temp ________________________________________________________ Disk table 59 0.0/s Table 1.36k 0.0/s File 4 0.0/s __ Threads _____________________________________________________________ Running 1 of 1 Cached 3 of 4 %Hit: 99.83 Created 271 0.0/s Slow 0 0/s __ Aborted _____________________________________________________________ Clients 133 0.0/s Connects 92 0.0/s __ Bytes _______________________________________________________________ Sent 724.69M 4.2k/s Received 1.46G 8.4k/s
