New build - crashes
by Alison 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hi, after six months away from Drupal just getting back into it. Fresh successful install of 7.9. Added CTools(-7.x-1.0-rc1.tar.gz) and Panels(-7.x3.0-alpha.3.tar.gz) - both configured (activated) and checked okay. Then added Views(-7.x-3.0-rc1.tar.gz), but as soon as I configure/activate Views and Views UI, I get a "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error", and a blank screen. Are there any error logs that might help me troubleshoot? or a way to de-activate the Views module external to the site management so I can get some idea as to what has happened? Regards Alison

Great Thanks from Russia
by Valery.Chelnokov 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Dear friends, Great Thanks from Russia for Drupal. Now we're using your Drupal for creating site for Russia Humaniti State Univercity at Moscow. We are basing upon the following book: Beginning Drupal by Jacob Redding about Drupal 7. There are arising some questions: *1*.We installed the Drupal 7.8 on Ubuntu-virtual machine. In this book: the Rules must substitute the Trigger technology. We received and installed in the sites/all/module the following modules: (see Figure 1 in attached file) You can see the files associated with Rules. Then we installed these files in Module screen. (see Figure 2) But in the Admin menu there is NO Rules option (see Fig. 2) Bun after clicking the option Structure we can see Custom context rulesets (see Fig. 3) One quetion arises: why does not the above book corresponds to real work of drupal. Or maybe final work of Drupal will fully correspond to Drupal? 2. It is imposible in our configuration to create the new role. 3. Now we're using ONLY the limitations about visibility that are on corresponding item. For exampleб when we created the 3-column panel we can see the corresponding limitations. 4. Whar book is fully correspond to Final Drupal VERSION 7. Please send us this book. Best regards, Denis, Valery -- Best regards, VALERY

references or entity reference?
by Wipe_Out 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, Trying to decide whether to references (node and user) or entity reference modules.. Does anyone have a good way to describe when to use which? I know references has more additional modules because its come from a D6 base while entity reference is new to D7 so hasn't had much developed for it.. What are the advantages to the newer entity reference module other than being able to reference entities other than users and nodes (assuming there are any)?? I have looked at the relation module but it looks too much for what I need and doesn't have a user friendly way of creating the relationships on entities during creation or editing.. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.. TIA

Using Git
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

I have downloaded msysgit. 1. It has a GUI built-in, so why does everyone list command line stuff? I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the GUI world and really don't want to go back, especially when I have to type in really long file locations and arcane parameters. 2. All I want to do is commit (CVS term) my changed code to D.O. I don't need a lot of other fancy stuff. 3. How do I get my 6.x code into my D7 sites/all/modules, convert it, and save it back as a 7.x version? Secondarily, I need to use it for patches to other modules. Yes, I have been looking at the tutorials on D.O. Seriously, do you think an old blond like me understands all that with limited to no explanations on what I am doing?

I have been viewing my website which was developed for computers (like PC's and Mac's) screens on an ipad and the layout on the ipad does not fit neatly within the webpage like it does for the larger computer screens.

Hi, I have been viewing my website which was developed for computers (like PC's and Mac's) screens on an ipad and the layout on the ipad does not fit neatly within the webpage like it does for the larger computer screens. Is their a way that I can utilized my existing website but have a different theme for ipad devices which has the same content except that the layout width is optimized for the smaller ipad screen? How can I identify that the browser is from an ipad and automatically go to this optimized for ipad theme instead default theme? Thanks, John

Site Slow Downs
by Ms. Nancy Wichmann 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

I've been asked questions about a site that slows way down on occasion. This is a cloud-based server at Rackspace. Since Rackspace has a fairly good reputation, I am guessing they are not the real problem. I looked at the database stats; it is using Qcache and the numbers look pretty decent. What I do see that I question is that their notifications module (I forget which one): A) Writes to dblog (Watchdog) on every cron interval, even if it has nothing to do (I hate that). B) When there is a notification (pretty often), it writes a separate line for each one. C) Some of those notifications result in many (100 or more) emails. During one page refresh when I experienced the drastic slow down, this high volume email happened. So I am wondering if these high-volume email sends can have a serious effect on performance? Since I assume the answer is yes, what can be done to lessen this impact? I see two main spots to work on: Watchdog usage and email load.
