Drupal 6.x

Drupal 6.2 released, fixing security issues

Heine - April 9, 2008 - 20:23

Drupal 6.2, a maintenance release that fixes problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as security vulnerabilities is now available for download. The security issues identified were in code new to Drupal 6, and are therefore not applicable to sites running on Drupal 5.

Upgrading your existing Drupal 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in this release, but we fixed some notable performance issues too. For more information about the Drupal 6.x release series, consult the Drupal 6.0 release announcement.

User 1 lost all privileges

blixxxa - July 4, 2008 - 07:43

Just completed a fresh install of Drupal 6.2 and added the modules CCK, Contemplate, Image, Autopath, Token and Views. Went on to set up a new content type and now user 1 (the first drupal user with all privileges) have lost all privileges. Can't do nothing, not create content, not edit content, not assign a newly registered user rights and so on.

Anyone come across this problem before? Have searched but not found anything.

New module feature: Extended Primary Links block

bengtan - July 4, 2008 - 06:52

Hi,

Just wanted to announce a new feature that I've added into an existing module

New Feature: Extended primary links block

The Extended primary links block extends the primary links menu into a block.

In other words, the Extended primary links block selects the menu designated as the primary links menu and displays the rest of that menu (ie. from the second or third level downwards) in a block.

If no primary links menu exist, it will use the secondary links menu if that exists.

It seemed overkill to create a separate module for what is essentially a code snippet, so I've added it to Submenu Tree as a compromise.

Thanks all,

Module Recommendations?

hajinango - July 4, 2008 - 06:12

I am a total newbie to Drupal and web development in general. I am looking to make a ride-share type site where people can catch rides with people of similar interests who are going hiking, boating, etc. I picture this very much like a classified ad site where the poster can enter information from a set of radio buttons and pull-downs for things such as origin, destination, number of open seats, etc. There will probably be 6-12 of these information points along with an open form text input box where they can add comments. When they submit their info, it will be posted to a board that others can browse, search, sort etc.

I need PM functionality so users can respond directly to the poster.

I need users to be able to set up and manage accounts so they can manage their posts. It would also be nice if once users hook up, they can be notified directly in the future when they log in that so-and-so is looking for a ride, or has a seat available (social networking option).

Question about views/taxonomy/categories and different pages in Drupal. I would like your recommendations...

talyia - July 4, 2008 - 05:44

Hi all,
I originally posted this in "Converting Sites to Drupal" but think it may be better off here as it is more "theme customization" that I am interested in. I will copy my original post at the end so that all of this makes sense.

Basically, the site I am building (for a magazine) needs to have a few main pages: Articles, Columns, Archives, E-Edition and a couple of others. Each of these main pages needs to have a slightly different look ...basically only the banner and content background image need to change. The pages of course will each hold different content (Articles on the articles page, columns on the columns page, etc.) The original website is at http://www.lee-magazine.com. Please see my post below for more detailed info.

My main questions are:
1. What/how would you recommend for me to go about doing these different pages? Is the taxonomy module for this type of thing? Or views?
2. What is the best way to go about setting up these categories... so that each type of content (e.g. articles or columns) lands up on the proper page? The categories module?

Thank you very much for your help.... awaiting your responses in anticipation:)
Christine

Hi all,
Can you tell me if you think it wouldn't be too difficult to convert this website into Drupal? http://www.lee-magazine.com.
