Importing large files uploaded via FTP
by Luke 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I am looking for the best way to do something reasonably simple. I need to upload files which exceed the PHP upload limit (which can be raised, but on shared hosting 8-15 MB is usually the top). The only way I know to do that, is through FTP. So, if a user has a big file, he uploads it via FTP, but then has to attach it to a node. My question is: what is the most efficient or simple way to allow a user to tell a node to import a file from a particular place? It will need to grab the file, place it in the normal files area, and then delete the one uploaded via FTP. I suspect I'm going to end up using some mixture of CCK and PHP, but I also can't imagine that I am the first one to need a solution to this problem, so thought there might be some canned solutions out there.

Can't add user in D6: illegal choice
by Luke 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hello I have been a user of D5 for quite some time, but because a somewhat urgent project requires features which it doesn't have, I'm playing with D6.10 and filefield_sources. I receive the following error when trying to create a user: An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator. Well, that's me, and I've not a clue. I did get the following error, while trying to add a node of a type I created. The type has a filefield field associated with it, into which I had uploaded a file, and this happen on save: * warning: array_merge_recursive() [function.array-merge-recursive]: recursion detected in /home/webusers/.../drupal6/includes/module.inc on line 473. I have no idea what factors might be involved here, as this is the first node of any content type which I have added, and the first user after the administrative account. I'll pull D6 and start from scratch if I have to, testing as I go, but I thought I'd ask here first. The modules at play are: advanced_help filefield_paths imce transliteration cck filefield_sources mimedetect views filefield getid3 token Oh, the getid3 module is currently broken, because it can not find the main library on which it depends, on my Ubuntu system.

Regarding migration of lapetus
by Victor Kane 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi there, I have two reseller accounts with Site5, one on lapetus (awebfactory.com.ar) and one on lithium (mentorworks.com.ar). lithium only started today and already I have received a mail telling me that the transfer is 50% complete, and informing me of the future server name and nameservers. However, lapetus starting weeks ago, and I still have not received any word at all about the migration progress. Can you inform me as to the status of lapetus? Thanks, Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar

Admin pages not working - login makes site "freeze"
by Peter Metelerkamp 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

I have a few Drupal sites on a shared hosting account. They are all using 6.10. Each is in its own directory under public_html, with its own installation (i.e. not multi-site). One of the sites, at www.settlercountry.org <http://www.settlercountry.org>, which has been working fine for a few months, and another site under construction, have the same problem: This is that the site works fine for a viewer, except that the search function is not working. But when I login as admin, the site "freezes" - i.e. the links do not function and I am unable to navigate to any part of the site, admin or frontend. I cannot logout unless I clear cookies on my local machine. The error log in the Cpanel of my account gives "File does not exist" messages, but the path is what you would expect it to be. The other sites under construction on the same server and hosting account (but not yet active with content), are working fine; one of these is very much more complex and uses dozens of modules not used by the "problem" site which is pretty basic, as you can see if you go to it. I have not touched the databases. I would be very grateful for any advice! Please make it simple to understand, as I as far from expert as it is possible to be, and am fairly new to this outstanding system! Thanks very much in advance.

any queue system module for D5 (hook_cron)
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Is there any module that let you put "actions" in a queue and then process the queue during hook_cron in D5? Ideally something will put an action in the queue (say a function call + serialized parameters in a text field), the module hook_cron should pick it up, run it, delete it from the queue accordingly to the result of the action and log any failure. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Multilingual Support : i18n+Pathauto on Drupal 5.x
by Denis Lafont-Trevisan 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hi, on my site in Drupal 5.x , I've activated i18n and pathauto. I have tow languages: English & French. For one page (for exemple: www.example.com/*en/*about ) I have a translated page in French with a new title (in French). Let's say www.example.com/fr*/*apropos is the French equivalent to English www.example.com/*en/*about When I use the language switcher block, Drupal tries www.example.com/fr*/*about and not www.example.com/fr*/*apropos Any clue? Reading all the issues on D5 and i18n+pathauto did not gave me clear ideas... Thanks Denis

konqueror and unable to login D5/D6
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Recently there has been a qt4-webkit upgrade in sid and I'm not able anymore to login into D5/D6. Everything is fine with a 4.X. In D6 I get redirected to en/node. D5 redirection was customised so it may not be of any help (user/0). If I reach the login page and delete the cookies, I'm able to login. Other browsers works fine (Opera, IE6/7, ffox, Chrome). Stil I am able to login with konqueror in other sites. Maybe the issue is caused by previous session invalidation. Did anyone experienced the same problem? Is it a legit and more strict management of cookies by konqueror and other browsers may follow, a bug in konqueror or a bug in drupal? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
