problem with instability of site
by Armin Medosch 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi sorry for previous message which went out by mistake. I am using drupal 5.14 on a virtual machine with 512M Ram allocated (ubuntu server configuration). First the database and now apache toppled over, as it looks, because the system went out of memory. However, I think 512 should be decent enough, I havent that awful lot of additional modules installed and there is not such heavy traffick on the site. When the database fell over it generated an error message about duplicate entry in watchdog, so I repaired that. everything seemed fine for a couple of days, then last night apache said goodbye. What can I do to prevent that? is there a way to clean the database in a way that goes beyond repairing tables (I am not very advanced in command line mysql but my host does not want phpmyadmin to be installed) is there a way from stopping mysql growing and growing? Subsequent mysqldumps result in ever growing files, in no proportion to the amount of new content. Glad for any pointers to step by step howtos or any other advice cheers armin

11 Feb '09

I've 2 modules that provide similar functions but that conflict. Other modules depends on one of them. Is there an ordinate way to manage this situation? Just placing them in a nice place that will make my svn clean is an annoyance. Any advice? thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Theme inheritance broken
by Scott 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

I'm working with a copy of Garland on Drupal 6.9. Essentially I copied Garland into ./sites/all/themes/custom/kidsgardens to create my custom theme. I created a working site. I would now like to remove the template.php and style.css files (at least those parts that belong to Garland) from this directory and eventually have only my customizations there. I named Garland as the base theme in kidsgardens.info and renamed template.php and style.css (to hide them) expecting them to be inherited from Garland. No joy. The php stops at the call for phptemplate_get_ie_styles(), the first function call in page.tpl.php. When I return template.php to my theme directory, the code works but my css is still gone - until style.css is returned to the directory. Being new to drupal I suspect I'm missing something fundamental.

Bookreviews module error
by Paul Collett 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi, On one of my sites (drupal 5.15) I've suddenly started getting this error with content previously created in the bookreview module (5.x-1.x-dev): "md5() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/.../ public_html/modules/filter/filter.module on line 769" And the "Page" field is displaying "Array". I just noticed this after installing the Audio Module (Audio 5.x-1.4). While we're not using the bookreview module to add content any more, there are a number of old reviews that were created with the module. I'd like to be able to still display this content. Any ideas on what the problem may be? Thanks, Paul Collett

rotating views
by Christopher M. Jones 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

I'm looking for a way to rotate views. I've seen "Views Rotator", but it doesn't look like it does exactly what I want. I need the view to rotate for each time a page is loaded, while views rotator rotates on the same page via jquery. What I'm after is a way to replace the advertisement module using views and click filter. A different ad should show each time the user loads a page. I'm thinking that I need to set a cookie to hold the incremented offset, and pull that value into the view whenever it is called. I can write this code, but I'd rather drop a module in and call it done. Anybody know of any thing that will do this for D5.x?

t() with non-english string
by John Fletcher 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Does anyone know whether it's possible to use t() with a non-English base language? I have a site with a base language of Spanish, plus some other languages, and I need to put a couple of text strings into templates, so I use t(). I would like to write the strings into the templates in Spanish and then use the translation interface to translate them into other languages. Checking the Drupal API for t() seems to indicate strings must be entered into the DB in English and then translated into other languages. Does anyone know the status on this? Can I use Spanish as input to the t() function? John Fletcher Salt Websites internationalised web development http://www.saltwebsites.com/

download web files
by sivaji j.g 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hello Friends, I am looking for a Drupal 5 module or PHP script which allows the user to download web files. I want the module to have a block with has some check box like things when i click the check box say first and third check box and give submit, it should create the zip achieve of files corresponding to first and third check box . I guess there is no such a module with this functionality, i hope you will give some valuable suggestion to write code to make it. -- Thanks a lot ----------------------------------------- http://ubuntuslave.blogspot.com/

Membership site question
by Bob Morse 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

This seems like it should be easy but I am scratching my head. What module or group of modules would you folks suggest for a site that allows people to join the organization. I have two instances now, one where they take online payments and one where they don't. On each one I've used civicrm. But it's such a beast. The inferface is clunky and neither organization uses the crm part. We're building a 3rd site, it's a chamber of commerce web site and don't want to use civicrm. They want to have a list of members in categories, be able to modify what shows up on the listing, make the listings searchable, allow people to join through the web site (not take payments for it but create a sign up form that calculates what they would have to pay by check or credit card). We're using version 6. We have something that works, but it took a lot more customizing things than I think it should for this kind of site. And if we're going to keep getting these kinds of jobs I like suggestions of any simpler ways. TIA!
