You gave me some doubts, but I tried to build a view, without the me module, and it works fine. I had to set a menu entry as tab, and now I even got the tab on all user profiles. So, like I said in the first mail, put the 'user/%/path', set a menu entry as tab, if you want to tab to visible, and use an argument, and it will work fine. Pierre.

Oups, sorry, it seems that it does not works with users. Damn menu system core own hacks! Pierre.

You might have encountered some problems with some custom modules, but out of the box (Drupal + Views), it works perfectly, I did it in some projects. Pierre.

url rewrite force www for multi-sites
by Christina Callahan 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

I'm hoping to find a solution that hasn't presented itself after tons of searching... I'm running four sites on one Drupal6 codebase. The first site is the main portal site and the other three are subsites. So - the base URL for each site are as follows: http://example.com http://example.com/site1 http://example.com/site2 http://example.com/site3 and the folder structure under /sites is: example.com example.com.site1 example.com.site2 example.com.site3 The sites are all reachable with this current setup, however, I'm experiencing some login issues that I believe are a result of the example.com and www.example.com being regarded as two different sites. I figured that all I needed a simple as modification to the .htaccess in the /drupal directory, however I'm not able to rewrite the URLs successfully for all my sites. By modifying .htaccess to show RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301] I successfully redirect all of the pages on example.com to www.example.com, however example.com/site1, /site3, /site3 all get rewritten to www.example.com. I've not found a situation documented about this, and I've tried a number of different alternatives that don't seem to work. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tina

Drupal: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL
by Kevin Davison 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

I'm not very familiar with the use of PostgreSQL with Drupal, as I tend to use Pressflow with MySQL on most projects. I read about the advantages and disadvantages, but not sure how to compare a clustered DB with PostgreSQL and Pressfow running on Pantheon with MySQL optimized, perhaps on multiple DB servers. It looks like there are various issues with contributed modules & PostgreSQL, and that doesn't sound like much fun to deal with. So now I have a potential client who needs help with PostgreSQL in the mix, and I'm not sure if I should get involved. Here's the client's development/production environment: Debian Lenny (5.0) host environment Debian packaging for deployment Drupal 6 framework PostgreSQL 8.3 database Git source control Apache Solr 1.4 for search and related artist matching Amazon S3 + CloudFront for storage and streaming of videos FFMpeg for encoding of uploaded videos JWPlayer for playback (looking to replace this in a future phase)) Apache and Nginx web servers (although development can be done with just Apache) PHP 5.2 They know what they're doing! Here's what I read about PostgreSQL on Drupal.org: (From http://drupal.org/node/33171) > First off you have to ask yourself is it really worth it? In most cases no absolutely not, MySQL is just fine for sites that are small and want to remain that way, this includes personal sites and blogs etc. > > PostgreSQL's real strength at least in my opinion comes from its ability to seamlessly cluster, thereby distributing the load among many DB servers rather than bogging down a single server. If you have a big website with lots of traffic and have the resources for multiple servers, then PostgreSQL is definitely the way to go. This potential client has a lot of data, with the potential for a lot of traffic. Their current configuration may be ideal, as far as I know right now. And I've been really happy with staging development on WebEnabled, but they don't support PostgreSQL yet. I don't even have PostgreSQL installed on my local development environment! So I'm asking the Drupal community about this one. Perhaps I need to learn more about PostgreSQL, or I just need to stick with what I know best (as an intermediate at MySQL). And I may need some help from Developers who do know more. What do you think? Thank you, Kevin --- Quevin, LLC Quevin.com twitter.com/Quevin linkedin.com/in/quevin

Deployment of translations from QA to Production?
by Kevin Davison 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

How would you suggest a good process to test translations on in a QA environment, and then deploy them to a production environment after testing? * Best practices? * Deploy/Services modules? * Node export/import? * Translate interface export/import? * Freeze production, work in QA, then move the DB over to production? * Other? Thank you, Kevin PS May be looking for paid consultation on this matter...

Negative Context Condition
by Idan Arbel 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, Is the a way to add a negative context condition? I have a context to display a few block according to node type : x,y,z I'd like to create another context to display blocks a,b on every page that x,y,z aren't displayed on. Any idea how I can do this, my idea was to simply create the same conditions but negative, but I don't see the option. I can create a site wide context for a,b but then it displayays together with the x,y,z blocks. Any ideas? Thanks Idan

user_autocomplete and privacy
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

I'm writing a module that should hide user existence according to their privacy settings. I've been able to hide names (overriding phptemplate_username) and users profiles (404 with hook_user view). That's far from clean but at least it works. Is D7 any better in this area? But I'm out of reasonably clean hack to hide users existence in user_autocomplete. Everything is guarded by a user_access, 'access user profiles' and I can't see any other way than hacking core. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Are there other modules that compare to http://drupal.org/project/website_screenshot ? Perhaps one that's not under heavy development. Thank you, Kevin --- Quevin, LLC Quevin.com twitter.com/Quevin linkedin.com/in/quevin

Goldencan Error
by Skip Taylor 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hello, I use Goldencan Version 2 PHP scripts so that I have online affiliate "stores". There has been a problem for a long time that I associated with shared hosting. Now that I'm on a dedicated host it's reared it's ugly head again - still. This error does not happen if a human accesses the page. For people and all types of browsers there are no problem and for other spiders! Time of day doesn't matter either - it's just GoogleBot that seems to generate this error and it's always the same error, just a different "store" section that creates it. >From the Drupal log: readfile( http://si.goldencan.com/GetData.aspx?ver=2.0&SID=removed&Host=www.m…) [<a href='function.readfile'>function.readfile</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /includes/common.inc(1497) : eval()'d code on line 12. It's always "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /includes/common.inc(1497) : eval()'d code on line 12". Anyone have any ideas? I've written to GC but they see no problem with the code they supply nor did they have any suggestions. Thanks for looking! Skip
