Failed Upgrade to 6.16
by Lanny Trager 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Fellow List Members, After an upgrade to 6.16 with Upgrade.txt open and followed to the letter I received the following error; * user warning: Table 'redacted_org_-_drupal.semaphore' doesn't exist query: lock_may_be_available /* admin : lock_may_be_available */ SELECT expire, value FROM semaphore WHERE name = 'menu_rebuild' in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/lock.inc on line 154. * user warning: Table 'redacted_org_-_drupal.semaphore' doesn't exist query: lock_may_be_available /* admin : lock_may_be_available */ SELECT expire, value FROM semaphore WHERE name = 'menu_rebuild' in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/lock.inc on line 154. I found this page: http://drupal.org/node/732024 comment #45 looked like it might be a good starting point for me, but when I got to the update page neither 6054 nor 6055 were present in the system module drop-down. Applied the Bootstrap patch from this page: http://drupal.org/node/732064 to bootstrap.inc, different errors but lots more of them, reverted back to original bootstrap.inc re-ran update.php and now back to the original errors as above. Additionally, Drupal is reporting the wrong version, it thinks I'm on 6.14 not 6.16. The original install of this site was 6.15. Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution that I have not found? Thanks P.S. redacted and admin do not reflect what is actually in the message, names where changed to protect the innocent

Multi-Site question
by Daniel Carrera 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hello, I am interested in the multi-site feature but I have questions. I have a Drupal site for students to upload work. The problem is that all schools use the same site and now teachers want to be able to reset student passwords which requires admin rights. If I had a multi-site, each school could have its own site and the teachers could be admins. That sounds good, but I have some concerns: 1) MIGRATION: How can I transfer user accounts to the new sites? How can I transfer existing content? Moving users and accounts to their respective sites seems quite difficult. I don't know what I can do there. 2) DRAWBACKS: Are there any drawbacks I should know about? I imagine that I would lose the ability to do an over-all search among all the sites. I can live with that. Maintenance would be more difficult because I'd have to create a new site every time we get a new school, but that seems manageable. Is there anything I've missed? I'm totally new at the multi-site idea, so I'm not even sure what questions to ask. If you have any comments or advice for me I would very much like to hear it. Thanks, Daniel.

U Edit
by Daniel Carrera 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hello, You know the "U Edit" module? http://drupal.org/project/uedit AFAICT this module would solve the problem I'm having... if it was only available for Drupal 6. Sadly, it isn't. There isn't even a development version for Drupal 6. If anyone knows of a *similar* module that is available for Drupal 6, I would be extremely grateful. I have searched and searched and I haven't found anything similar. Cheers, Daniel.

Organic Groups - Subgroups
by Daniel Carrera 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hello, I'm investigating about the Organic Groups feature. It looks very useful, but I really think I will need to create not only groups but subgroups. Sadly, the subgroups module is not stable for Drupal 6: http://drupal.org/project/og_subgroups Worse, it looks like the last time this module was updated was in 2008! I don't know a lot about OGs. Is there a way to create subgroups in Drupal 6? My customers are schools. I want to make an OG for each school, so all the students are registered with their school, and I want to allow teachers to create sub-groups to represent school classes. I figure that this would make it easier for teachers (and for me) to manage all the students (e.g. to check their work). Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Daniel.

Drupal 7 themes error
by Roger 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Fault in Drupal 7 I copied garland to /sites/all/themes, renamed the file and change the .info as per Drupal 6.15 instructions and it produces errors: / Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_name_and_slogan/ in /include()/ (line /20/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/). * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_name_and_slogan/ in /include()/ (line /22/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/). * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_html/ in /include()/ (line /24/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/). * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: primary_nav/ in /include()/ (line /30/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/). * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: secondary_nav/ in /include()/ (line /31/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/). * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: tabs2/ in /include()/ (line /51/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).

Seems that something's amiss! I'm trying to understand the relationships between user themes and the inbuilt theme engine but being new am somewhat stuck. What am I missing please Help and explanations are greatly appreciated. TIA Roger

Re: [support] support Digest, Vol 87, Issue 15
by Sarah Vardy 12 Mar '10

Hi Ram, Have you tried some other images to make sure it's not a problem with the image? Otherwise, have you followed the readme file and added the text in the config.php file to allow uploads? You also need to set your cookie domain correctly in the settings.php file. Sometimes if helps if you revert at least admin back to the default garland theme to make sure you're getting all your error messages. Hope this helps!

Altering the delete process of a node
by Ramon Vilar Gavaldà 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi I want to alter the delete process of a node to add a new precondition. For example, I want to prevent the deletion of a document node if there are some categories (another content type not the Drupal category of the Taxonomy core module) associated with it. It's possible to add this precondition? Both content types are CCK related. Thanks in advance Ramon -- Ramon Vilar Gavaldà - http://ramonvilar.facil.cat - http://blog.facilitant.net Membre de FÀCIL - http://www.facil.cat Membre de l'esplai SESA - http://www.esplaisesa.org -- Ramon Vilar Gavaldà - http://ramonvilar.facil.cat - http://blog.facilitant.net Membre de FÀCIL - http://www.facil.cat Membre de l'esplai SESA - http://www.esplaisesa.org

View title/Breadcrum based on a filter?
by Luke 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi (D6, Views 2) I've got a node view. It displays an exposed filter on a taxonomy. A viewer can click a term (or terms) there, and hit apply, and will see nodes for those terms. Or, one can navigate to the view through taxonomy/term/%, and also get nodes for that term. The usual way is to use the path version first, and filter from there, but of course on the node they can click the term and get back to the view again. (For anyone wondering: I set the argument validation code to return false if the filter is set, but otherwise let the argument pass. That is why this works--thanks to a post on d.o) So far, so good. However, the argument version displays the title, including the term name, which I have set. The filter version, however, only displays the default title. Any way to get a title and breadcrum based upon a filter? Thanks Luke
