Font your face new release error
by Anthony 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

I tried installing the new version of font your face but am getting this error when I try to get to the config page: - *Notice*: Undefined index: fontyourface_settings_form in * drupal_retrieve_form()* (line *750* of * /home3/polamor1/public_html/drupal/includes/form.inc*). - *Warning*: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array<http://66.147.244.79/%7Epolamor1/drupal/function.call-user-func-array>]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'fontyourface_settings_form' was given in *drupal_retrieve_form()* (line *785* of */home3/polamor1/public_html/drupal/includes/form.inc*). Is this my error? Or a module error? -- *Anthony Stefan Maciejowski* *tony maciejowski** | analyst/programmer | websites | www.tony-mac.com<t_maciejowski(a)hotmail.com> * *Twitter: anntosh* | *Cell: 323.899.6206* | *Linked-In:* *Anthony Maciejowski*

Drupal 7 and Page Caching
by DTH 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

I'm currently setting up my first big Drupal site that requires caching. The vast majority of the traffic is anonymous, so we can cache full pages. Currently, for a somewhat smaller site on D6, we use Boost, which works pretty well. The only other requirements are: ideally have relatively smart expiration of caches (as well as clearing cache on page updates, things like updating related views on node updates) and it definitely needs to work with Domain Access (shouldn't be a problem I don't think for most caching solutions?). Also, caching that can also works for logged in users would be a bonus, but unnecessary. (ie. it would be nice if things were quicker for admin users, but that's lower down the scale of things) What's the easiest/safest/most foolproof/most common way to cache things on Drupal 7? Drupal 7's native cache - stores it in the database? Would ideally want to avoid the database entirely. Boost - seems to have slowed down a lot on development for D7? Varnish - have never used but this seems the most common D7 way - anything to be aware of? If Varnish listens on port 80, and I also have non-Drupal pages on the same domain, how do you pass through things so people can access example.com/nondrupal/page? Do I need a reverse proxy or will Varnish pass it through itself? If starting from scratch, which version of Varnish should I use? Memcached - presumably am fine to use this alongside Varnish/Boost for logged in users. Do I just drop it in and use it for all systems (caching, sessions, locking)?

updating a drupal site
by Dick Hoogendijk 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

If I install the FreeBSD port of drupal all my files are owned by the user the webserver is running under (www). This way Drupal is very capable of updating/installing new core and/or modules. My question is: is it save(!) to have the files owned by *the user under which your Apache server executes? *

this code wrecks my site
by Marty Landman 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

I've set up a content type containing a single additional field, an existing field called field_associated_node which is a node reference. In my content type this associated node field may repeat an arbitrary number of times. Then I use the code below to get all these nodes and display them from an image cache file path. <?php $image = '<div class="image-gallery--image-link"><a href="/files/imagecache/lesson_image-fullsize/pictures/%s" ' . 'rel="lightbox[wall]"><img src="/files/imagecache/lesson_image-centercolumn/pictures/%s" /></a></div>'; foreach ($node->field_associated_node as $associated) { $assoc_node = node_load($associated[nid]); $file_path = $assoc_node->field_image_file_path[0]['value']; $bfr = sprintf($image, $file_path, $file_path); print $bfr; } ?> This works on my staging site, but on the live site as soon as I create one of these content type nodes the site's theme breaks. Restoring the database fixes it. I am wondering if my retrieval loop above is the problem, or where to look. This is a 6.22 site and the live site is in better shape than staging - other than this particular problem. Our plan was to wrap up a little more development and then migrate live down to staging for some maintenance; then this came up. :-( Marty

Title Across Blocks
by Swapnil Bhartiya 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi, I am running Drupal 7. I want to be able to flow the title in the content page to go across the page. So that the right blocks come below the title, like this site: http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/7/2690375/corning-gorilla-glass-2-thinness You can see the title is above the right site block. How to do that? Best Swapnil

Views Pager
by Vaibhav Jain 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Heya all Drupal Devs, I am trying to achieve something on Views Pager, and I think i need your help in same. Scenario is as follows :- - My homepage consists of number of views, for the main content area and few more in the form on blocks. - In one of the blocks, i am using views_embed_view and passing the argument too. - For the pager of this view, I am using full pager with ajax. What I want - I am trying to a remove the text "first", "previous", "next", "last" from the pager of this block only and not of any other block or view. I have tried overriding theme_pager which in turn removes it for every view or everywhere theme_pager is called. I have also checked on different views hooks, and haven't got any success. Currently, I have achieved this via CSS (display:none), but can be manipulated with developer tools, Hence, I would like to this via code. Any help appreciated. -- Regards, Vaibhav Jain

Performance Problem
by John Pagakis 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Posted by toolsmythe <http://drupal.org/user/1746988> on January 4, 2012 at 8:18pm I'm dealing with an odd performance issue on a production Drupal 7.7 site. I have a machine that is configured thus: 4gig Quad proc 900GB disk OS: Debian 6 For apache we are using version ii apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze1 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.16-6+squeeze1 Apache HTTP Server - traditional non-threaded model For PHP we are running version ii php5 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage) ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module) ii mysql-client-5.1 5.1.49-3 MySQL database client binaries Database is on a seperate server. The Problem We are getting a pretty consistant 5+ second delay before any page on the site renders. It renders quickly once it starts to render, but there is a delay of 5 or more seconds before that happens. Oddly enough, we have a copy of the site running under cPanel that has no delay whatsoever. That box is configured thus: Apache 2.2 PHP 5.2.17 Mod SuPHP CentOS release 5.7 (Final) Not sure if this is worthy of note, but the production server has Suhosin (PHP hardening) and the copy does not. We made a second copy on the prod server and it is experiencing the same delay. All the database instances are practically empty. What we've tried so far We've tried optimizing the tables in MySQL. We've tried applying various optimizations to Apache and MySQL recommended on Drupal pages (for example: http://drupal.org/node/215516 and http://drupal.org/node/2601). No joy. We did an ab benchmark on both servers. as follows: ab -n 500 -c 50 The test server showed this: Benchmarking .com (be patient) Completed 100 requests Completed 200 requests Completed 300 requests Completed 400 requests Finished 500 requests Server Software: Apache Server Hostname: .com Server Port: 80 Document Path: /clients/// Document Length: 18543 bytes Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 50.229747 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 9663634 bytes HTML transferred: 9327129 bytes Requests per second: 9.95 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 5022.975 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 100.459 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 187.88 [Kbytes/sec] received Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 0 1.0 0 9 Processing: 703 4901 5312.1 3312 38328 Waiting: 657 4653 4788.4 3134 33105 Total: 703 4902 5312.4 3312 38330 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 3312 66% 4721 75% 5718 80% 6374 90% 10416 95% 14444 98% 24669 99% 33351 100% 38330 (longest request) Meanwhile, here's the same test for our prod server: Server Software: Apache/2.2.16 Server Hostname: .com Server Port: 80 Document Path: /clients// Document Length: 18760 bytes Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 314.671 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 9757000 bytes HTML transferred: 9380000 bytes Requests per second: 1.59 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 31467.146 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 629.343 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 30.28 [Kbytes/sec] received Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 0 0.3 0 1 Processing: 11813 29570 12525.7 27341 126615 Waiting: 11745 29509 12525.6 27281 126535 Total: 11813 29570 12525.7 27341 126615 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 27341 66% 31105 75% 33440 80% 35335 90% 40918 95% 47849 98% 66717 99% 84633 100% 126615 (longest request) We tried turnning on Long Running Queries in MySQL; it logged nothing. top showed nothing of interest. We're stumped over here (though to be quite honest, stumping us is no great feat <grin>, at least when it comes to Drupal). Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
