Features Question
by James R Stone 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

I am in a heavily customized Drupal Commerce site where I have 31 Features. Eleven (11) of the features are based purely on off-the-shelf 3rd party Drupal modules, the rest of the Features (20) have dependencies on the other Features already existing and each other. I need to update the normal off-the-shelf 3rd party modules (40 of them) *and *Drupal core (from 7.23 to 7.26). In the past and on simpler websites, I have updated all of the modules (if non-problematic) then disabled them and updated Drupal core. After updating core I then turn modules on, one at a time, and make sure things are still working together. I have not used Features extensively like this and do not feel sure about the correct process for updating. My impression is that as I update modules, my Features might have some repercussions (do they show up as Overriden?) and that I should, one at a time, Update/Recreate my Features, download the code, upload the Feature to the website and turn it back on. Is this correct? Should I update all of the off-the-shelf 3rd party Drupal modules first? Then update all of the Features? Should I update one module at a time, checking for Overrides showing in Features and the updating those Feature(s) one at a time also? What would the best methodology be in this situation? *James R Stone* *Drupal builder-developer-consultant*Messages: 216-635-5492 | Office: 216-931-0475 fndtn357(a)gmail.com <fndtn357(a)gmail.com> <https://drupal.org/user/255723> [image: LinkedIn] <http://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrstone> [image: Twitter] <http://www.twitter.com/fndtn357> <http://www.twitter.com/fndtn357>"The skill of coding is to create a context in which other people can contribute."

.htaccess question
by Prothero William 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

I have a php script that I wrote that will use Drupal to validate the user login of a separate app that isn't part of Drupal. I have a php script that I want to put within the Drupal site. I can't seem to make .htaccess override the Drupal settings so that I can execute the php. Currently, I have, in the folder that holds the php: # disable directory browsing Options All -Indexes AddHandler cgi-script .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php What should I do to enable my php script to execute? I've set the permissions to execute and I do get a listing of the php script file contents, which is not what I want. How can I make it execute? Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org

Re: [support] support Digest, Vol 134, Issue 15

Thanks! I did get some advice from another source too, as follows: Make sure all features are up to date Update these first Make dB backup Update a module Check functionality Check features for any overrides Update any features again, if necessary Check changes into version control Rinse and repeat, as necessary Update core, standard way On Feb 11, 2014 7:00 AM, <support-request(a)drupal.org> wrote: Send support mailing list submissions to support(a)drupal.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/support or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to support-request(a)drupal.org You can reach the person managing the list at support-owner(a)drupal.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of support digest..."

The sessions table has a 'sid' column, which on my system stores the session ID, (not the session name). As I understand it, the value returned by the session_name() function is the name of the cookie that has been set. The contents of the cookie is the same as the session ID. Example, on my machine, using localhost, The session_name() function returns SESS8f93ae84e0d076318a028995c285dfea I find a cookie named SESS8f93ae84e0d076318a028995c285dfea and it's contents are 5GwoK_4A8Kiw8gmEnVo0lyCcq5H4-jz1X5T0ODMz76A In the sessions table, I find the sid value equal to 5GwoK_4A8Kiw8gmEnVo0lyCcq5H4-jz1X5T0ODMz76A And that is the same value returned from $_COOKIE[session_name()]; So the sid value in the database is the session ID, *not* the *session name* I'm try to find out where the *session name* is stored. It must be in the database somewhere to maintain presistance. cheers -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:28:25 -0900 From: Tim Johnson <tim(a)akwebsoft.com> Subject: Re: [support] Where is session_name stored in database?

I did that by updating the Core first, check on the release notes and any major changes, that will impact my custom code or contributed modules settings. If things break now, Dont panic, you might find many modules which will work only after specific version of drupal core, because of a bug fix. Next, you can start updating your modules one by one, recommended, and see what version of module is compatible with which one. Also there might be a complete new version of module available, which might not work for you, something like from 7.x-1.x to 7.x-2.x, which is ideally not recommended, you should upgrade within the same version. You should test everything now. Next, if you want to upgrade to themes, go ahead, that might not effect much. Lastly, if you see some features overridden, use Diff module and check for any changes.

We sell subscriptions to the site and our subscribers are complaining that they can't get password reminders. I did a test where I requested password reminders from 4 different accounts - only 1 of the 4 emails arrived. Here's the log entries, is there anything here that can help me narrow this down? I've opened a second ticket with tech support - last month the ticket I opened got me no joy. They said the log showed emails being sent and there was nothing they could do from there on.

booking calendar
by Pascal Barde 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hello, Here is my first message on the Drupal Support mailing list. At first I'm gonna quickly present me : I'm french and I jumped in Drupal, and particulary Drupal Commerce, just for a few weeks. Up to here, I was working with Spip, a french CMS, nice for dynamic websites but designed for e-commerce. So, I started directly with Kickstart Commerce. I expose my problem which seem big for me : I need to implement a booking calendar that appears before ordering and which transmit the number of days (between start and end dates) to the shopping cart in order to multiply the price by it, it's for a rental ski shop. Does it exist a module which allow to do that? I quickly saw "Reservations", "Merci", but before to dive I'd like to know what you think about ? Thanks for your help. Thanks for all Pascal

Using Google Drive as file repository for audio files
by Mihai Miculescu 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hi, I am building a site for a comunity of musicians. Users login on the website and then may upload audio files so that others can listen (via streaming) and evaluate their ideas. I cannot let them upload on the server the website is hosted. I also have no budget (for now) to purchase storage on Google Cloud or similar. I am looking into creating an account on Google Drive, connect it to the website and use it as a file repository for all the mp3 uploads from the users. Since Music Player for Google drive is open source ( https://code.google.com/p/drive-music-player/ ) maybe there is a way to integrate the relevant patrs of its code into MediaFront somehow. The problem is: GD is intended for uploads and downloads only, not for streaming. On the other hand, Music Player for Google Drive is available for playing back the audio files. So I cannot undesrtand if this scenario will work or not. Before diving into the mysteries of the authentication protocoles a.s.o. I thought I might just ask you if you guys find this idea feasible Thanks in advance! Mihai
