I played in Fedora 16 fresh install last night trying to understand the Drupal 7.10 - 7.12 issues and7.12 is fine - provided- that the install is done manually, ie manually copying over everything except the /sites folder. During experimentation I uncovered another gotcha that I do not yet understand. brief example: mysqldump a working database Create an empty database in mysql with the same name user and password as the mysqldump file. mysql -uroot -p newdatabase < old.sql to recreate the database. After installing Drupal with a dummy database, install all the modules and themes as per the original. All works fine. Go to settings.php and change the database, username and password to the installed mysqldump database and the new installation starts with the mysqldump database. At least that's how it has worked for me previously. However with the sandpit Fedora 16 site, all I get is a blank browser, regardless of whether both or either drupals are set to maintenance mode or not. More testing today Cheers Roger

Finding the template used by a view
by robert mena 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi, I have one view for which I have to alter how the content is displayed. In my case I have a list of recipes and for each one I have to add a "see inside" text with the proper link. Right now the link already exists for the title. I've found the view but not where how it is displayed. Sorry the newbie but the original developer left without giving me the documentation. Regards.

Yep I had both server sites in maintenance mode but I did not do so with the home sites, I wanted to see if it crashed the sites. I too mysqldump routinely. Problem is, because the drush up corrupted the drupal 7.12 install there is no way to update.php, both were dead. My curiosity is that it had no effect on my home setup but destroyed the remote server drupal set up. Google drupal 7.12 and find the drupal.org/node/1425104 - posts dated 2nd Feb 2012 posted by webchick discuss the 7.12 problems. I found this too late. Roger

Difficulty creating content
by John Summerfield 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Note, I have discovered a workaround with which I can live in the process of writing this email. I've decided to complete the email so that someone else having a like problem might find this. I have created a new site using a codebase shared with others. I have created two input formats General All roles may use default format configure Wiki authenticated user, Committee configure delete For some time I was fixated on these being at the heart of my problem, but it's not so. I have created a user account, santa, with no special permissions, but then created the roles Committee (which you see there) and Power, with permission to do everything. Using another browser, SeaMonkey 1.1.14, I logged on as Santa and created a blog entry. I have subsequently editted it a few times. The first problem I noticed is that the menu for "Input format" does not expand. Some time later I saw that "Attached Images" and "Book Outline" do not expand either. While composing this email, I logged onto another of my sites, one where I have created content successfully in the past and discovered the same problem. My conclusion is that the version of Seamonkey I am using is incompatible with Drupal 6.x. I do have Javascript enabled Just possibly, the problem arises because I have denied cookies: while loading the page in question, I get two messages on the Seamonkey error console. -- Cheers John Summerfield.

Rich text editor problems
by Hummel, Tracey S - (thummel) 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

I have a drupal 7 site that uses the Wysiwyg module with the CKEditor library. Full HTML is configured to: * Convert URLs into links; * Convert line breaks into HTML (i.e. <br> and <p>) * Correct faulty and chopped off HTML When I use the RTE Full text format to add a hyperlink within the body as: /sites/default/files/file.pdf It gets converted to: <a href="%5C%22/sites/default/files/file.pdf%5C%22"> How can you keep it from converting the code?

Big problem with Drual 7.12 drush up
by Roger 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi all. I fresh installed Fedora 16 on a hd here at home. There is no drush for Fedora 16 so followed the instructions for manual install Drupal 7.21 install. Worked ok. Dev and test are working. I drush up 'd up my Ubuntu drupal 7.10 dev and test installs and all worked well. Nothing had changed, both now 7.12 core. I went to our server which is virtually identical to my ubuntu installs and via ssh drush up the development site then the live site and -- all hell broke loose. Both sites wrecked. I get a server error for both. With cpanel I uploaded a small index.html to each so it appears in the drupal install above the index.php in the file list and called that with www.site.com/index.html. The page displays so there server is working. So I copied the drupal-7.10.tar.gz file to both and unzipped, copied the sites folder from the previously working sites to the 710 installs and it sort of works, -- theme is crapo but it worked. It seems that drush failed to do the update correctly. This is worrying as we rely on drush and it has not failed before this. Will it be ok if I copy the drupal-7.12.tar.gz to the server. Extract that and copy the original working /sites folder to the new install? Are there any gotchas in this method. Would it be better to rename the sites folder, delete the drupal install, copy the drupal 7.12 extraction files minus the /sites folder over to the working directory, rename the xxsites folder to /sites so the install picks it all up. Are there any gotchas in this method? Would it be better to go thru the install procedure and point it to the working database. I caught a glimpse of a post that said to avoid 7.12 and revert to 7.11 but there is no 7.11 only 7.10 so I felt this post to be inaccurate. Does anyone have info on how to fix this problem please. Thanks Roger

Switching theme problem
by Néstor 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

We had 2 themes built for use by a 3rd party based on FUSION. One theme is our regular theme and the other is an Emergency theme. When I switch to the Emergency, it does not work but if I do the following steps *at list once*: *1) *Go to the *BLOCKS *page and move the 2 emergency blocks from the "Disabled" area to the "Content Top" area. The 2 emergency blocks are *"Emergency Alert" *and *"Emergency Information"*. *2)* Move the blocks *Issues: Block: Home* and *News: Block: Home* to the Disable or NONE area. *3)* Go to the *THEMES *page and set the *EMERGENCY *theme as default and click *"Save Configuration"*. *4)*Click on *"Save Blocks"*. When the emergency is over: *1)* Go to the *BLOCKS *page and move the 2 emergency blocks back to the Disable or NONE area *2)* Move and make sure that the blocks *Issues: Block: Home* and *News: Block: Home* are the top blocks under *Counter Top* block area in that order. *3)* *"Save Blocks"*. *4)* Go to the *THEMES *page and set the theme *SDCWA *as the default theme and *"Save Configuration"* * * So once I do the above steps at list once then from then on the theme switching works By just choosing either the Emergency theme or our regular theme. Have guys ever seen anything like this? Thanks, Néstor J

Append to Node Body, Select Types
by Lev Lafayette 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hello Drupalites, Before I go diving into a MySQL solution is there an easier way to append the same text to node body according to content type? e.g., to all "Stories" content add "Please contact Mr. Blah on 0400 123 123" at the end of the Body. Please note I don't want a block - it has to append in the 'Body' section of the node. Extra thanks if you there's a way of adding the same message to the 'Log' section. e.g., to the log of all "Stories" add "Added Mr. Blah's number". Thanks in advance! -- Lev Lafayette, Systems Administrator, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing, lev(a)vpac.org "If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context.

Hello all I seem to be having a problem with Support Digest that I cannot explain. I send requests for help and replies to other's help requests but they do not show up on list. I sent a test message several days ago and that displayed but nothing before or since. It's got me puzzled I have 2 email addresses, only this one seems to occasionally send to list. should I reregister as a new contributor? Thanks Roger
