- Love the new block managment and the Forums are so easy to config now.
- Search index % is nice.

Questions:
- Under settings the Image handling is displaying a "1", What is this?
- I saw something about a new image api? What and where is that?
- Theme tag additions... Where are they listed?

Surpised there is not an install script via php yet... For those looking for a quick install script... here is mine, just setup your database 1st:

#!/bin/sh
cd www
wget http://www.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-cvs.tar.gz
tar -zxvf drupal-cvs.tar.gz
rm drupal-cvs.tar.gz 
mv drupal-cvs/* drupal-cvs/.htaccess .
rmdir drupal-cvs
mkdir files files/pictures
chmod 777 files

mysql -u db_username -p db_drupalcvs  < database/database.mysql

exit

Different terms for forums is a bad idea... I now use (and I shall use) 4.5.2 is really best release of the Drupal.

When I attempted to do a search in the RC, I got the following error message:

warning: Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet supported in classes at offset 52
 in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kzeng.info/httpdocs/drupal-test/modules/search.module on line 257.

 in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kzeng.info/httpdocs/drupal-test/modules/search.module on line 265.

Is it caused by some bugs in search.module? Thanks!

Immediately, I was going to update the Japanese translation file.

Hi,

Does 4.6 support multiple sites with shared content (different domains but same search results)?

NOT WORK image.module!!!!
and htmlarea image preview from image.module not work
I too have not found realization of the idea http://drupal.org/node/15854 : (Display of blocks by zones instead of left-right) :( So in fact and the code becomes simpler! And to designers it is more convenient

And in general DRUPAL among CMS - the first - and because of simplicity. Do not complicate a code

I love drupal!

Just wanted to report that the upgrade went smooth. Took about 5 minutes and everything looks good after some initial testing. Anticipate many non-core modules to break under the new version. I lost images, textsize, weblinks, and a few others.

My favorite change is the new search interface - nice and simple. Simple is good. I also dig the "blog it" button available on the front-end rss feeds block. I'd like to see this included in the aggregator module. This is something I really like about CivicSpace's aggregator. I'll add this as a feature request. Thanks for all your hard work. The install and upgrade is well documented. I know it's a thankless task, but is very helpful to newbies like me. Thanks.

I can't see primary links.... where are they?

I installed the 4.6 as an upgrade from 4.5.2. While I had a few errors with modules I forgot to turn off, the following one I am not sure what to do with (this happens anytime I do a search):

warning: Missing argument 2 for do_search() in /home/mgwynm/public_html/drupal/modules/search.module on line 467.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mgwynm/public_html/drupal/includes

I tried to submit this via a bug tracker, but I was very confused by the project pages (I am a bit of a newbie). If you need to see the upgraded site, go to:
mariagwyn.com/drupal.

This is certianly not burning for me, as I still have my previous version up and running elsewhere.

Thanks,
Maria

I am running into the following error with a php engine:

Missing argument 1 for phptemplate_templates() in /home/mgwynm/public_html/drupal/themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine on line 44.

I know you mentioned that not all themes/engines are updated for 4.6. Is this true of the phpengine itself, or is my theme wrong (I actually only have freindselectric currently uploaded)?

Also, I know that you (Dries) have requested that problems be put into the tracker, so if this is more appropriate there, please let me know how to do that as I am finding the tracker a bit confusing. Is there a place for 4.6 problems specifically? I am only seeing 4.5.

Thanks again, and it looks nice so far...I am sure the bugs will be worked out.

Hello,

I would like to know if in the new multiple site configuration system the user sessions can be shared across the Drupal-powered sites, for example if a server host two drupal sites one under www.domain.com and another under sub.domain.com sharing the same database, can drupal detect a user already loged in www.domain.com in the sub.domain.com subdomain so he/she doesn't have to enter his/her user/pass aigain and share user's information accross multiple sites (single sign-on) ??

then I have the following error:

warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "" in /var/www/linux.oregpreshaz.hu/docs/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 45.

user error:
query: INSERT INTO node (title, body, format, uid, type, teaser, status, moderate, promote, sticky, comment, created, changed, nid) VALUES('egy', 'ketto', '1', '2', 'story', 'ketto', '1', '', '1', '', '2', '1110284925', '1110284925', '11') in /var/www/linux.oregpreshaz.hu/docs/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 62.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/linux.oregpreshaz.hu/docs/includes/common.inc:385) in /var/www/linux.oregpreshaz.hu/docs/includes/common.inc on line 193.

How can I fix the problem?

Tnx.

Another day, another version of Drupal :-)

Site is running at page-turners.net

Does dropping PEAR DB mean that PostgreSQL is no longer supported?

What are the plans for the database support? A self-made database abstraction? Or Mysql-only?

PHP5 support comes with this release?

:)

I upgraded from a prerelease version and lost the Categories block (then did a few other things and royally screwed up my web site). I'm wondering if anyone here knows what happened to that block (it wasn't actually part of a module, was it)?

This is very exciting! I've just downloaded and installed it locally on my Mac. Everything went smooth except one thing. On the administer/settings page it gives me the following error message:

Unable to load the GD toolkit

I don't know if this a bug or is it my settings that are wrong. I have ImageMagick, but not GD...

I trying this version and I must claim, that I found many bugs using modules.
I have to fix many bugs in weblink module, now I trying event module, but I can't fix error in this module.
I'm so sad about this, because another function looks great.

I had trouble with the upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.6 using the upgrade.php script. Since there are others who had similar problems, I'll reveal how I finally succeeded.

First, I backed-up my entire mySQL database using phpMyAdmin and the export command.

Then I created a new subdirectory for the new Drupal CVS (I'm already running Drupal in a subdirectory, so I only needed to remember to update the location of this directory in the CVS file: sites>default>settings.php)

I also needed to change the settings for $access_check from $access_check = TRUE; to $access_check = FALSE. (new directory--- a user hasn't been created yet).

Next, I loaded the backup of my drupal 4.5.2 database (using phpMyAdmin) into a new mySQL database (I'm keeping the old one in place for now, while I tinker around with CVS). The name of this database needed to be changed in Drupal CVS at: sites>default>settings.php.

Now I used phpMyAdmin to disable all the contributor's modules, by "browsing" the system table in the drupal database. I manually "edited" the row of data for any added modules by changing the "status" from a "1" to a "0."

Here's the tricky part: although I am quite ignorant of how this update works, I believe some core modules should remain enabled! At first, I disabled all the modules thinking this was the safest bet for the update. However, this seemed to cause problems in updating the database... I'm not sure if this is true, but someone with more knowledge can clarify if this is the case and which core modules should remain enabled for the update.

Now, I'm ready to run the update script by visting "www.mysite.com/drupal/update.php." Oddly enough, I would have thought I should have chosen the update labeled with 3/03/2005. But this performed absolutely no update on my database (no messages communicating what it did) and when I visited my site, it gave me the following error:

user error: Unknown column 'severity' in 'field list'
query: INSERT INTO watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, location, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (0, 'access denied', 'admin denied access.', 1, 'view', '/drupal/index.php?q=admin', '24.205.103.66', 1110388514) in /home/gov/alpinecounty/WWW/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

Fatal error: Unknown column 'severity' in 'field list' query: INSERT INTO watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, location, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (0, 'php', 'Unknown column \'severity\' in \'field list\' query: INSERT INTO watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, location, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (0, \'access denied\', \'<em>admin</em> denied access.\', 1, \'<a href=\\"admin\\" class=\\"active\\">view</a>\', \'/drupal/index.php?q=admin\', \'24.205.103.66\', 1110388514) in /home/gov/alpinecounty/WWW/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.', 2, '', '/drupal/index.php?q=admin', '24.205.103.66', 1110388514) in /home/gov/alpinecounty/WWW/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66

Choosing the "first update since Drupal 4.5.0 release" worked. No errors and the script actually performs updates to my database. This "first update since..." confused me at first since I am upgrading from drupal 4.5.2.. It does the trick apparently.

Now, I went back to my update.php and changed the $access_check from $access_check = FALSE; back to $access_check = TRUE.

When I enter my new CVS drupal directory I can login with my old user name and password and begin exploring CVS. I hope that this explanation helps anyone else who may have some of the same problems. I also hope that if I've misrepresented these steps in any way, that someone with more knowledge will lend some clarification or corrections.

I am playing with drupal from a week now. I am interested in i18n module: it happen this:

CREATE TABLE `i18n_node` (
`trid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`nid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`status` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`trid`,`nid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

# Add language field to node table

ALTER TABLE `node`
ADD `language` char(2) NOT NULL default '';

# Add language and trid fields to term_data
ALTER TABLE `term_data`
ADD `language` char(2) NOT NULL default '',
ADD `trid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0';

is the db(mysql) change, (ok i18n_node table) what does it do update.php?

what about problem with other patch/modules?

I just rewrote over the 4.6 install I had (following the advice to download a fresh copy). I haven't really done anything on the original working install. But, I have the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/mgwynm/public_html/drupal/includes/common.inc on line 1086

Line 1086 of common.inc in my installation is:

  $element = '<input type="radio" class="'. _form_get_class('form-radio', $required, _form_get_error($name)) .'" name="edit['. $name .']" value="'. $value .'"'. ($checked ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . drupal_attributes($attributes)' />';

No new modules have been added.

Any ideas? I don't know what it means. All files were updated.
Thanks,
Maria

I got this message when tried to click "parent" link after wrote a first comment for first story.

Dries,

I did a search for a Slovak translation and it appears the project was dropped. I would like to offer to work on it, my wife has agreed to start the translations over the next few weeks. I'll look into how to setup the interface translation templates.

This post serves several purposes. 1) To let anyone who may be searching for a Slovak translation know it will be started. 2) To officially start the CVS project for this.

I'm very new to this, so any suggestions on where to start would prove very helpful. Pitfalls, steps, etc. Thanks.

Hi All,

I need some information to get multiple sites working in 4.6.0. If my default Drupal site is at www.example.net and I want another site at www.example.net/subsite then according to the documentation I have to make a directory in sites called www,example.net.subsite and in the settings.php file in that directory point to the subsite mysql database and make the base URL www.example.net/subsite. If my document root for www.example.net is /www/srv/htdocs then does my content for this subsite go in /www/srv/htdocs/subsite or does the content go under my sites directory? In this case does anything need to be changed in apache to handle this or in the case of other sites with completely different domain names?

Thanks

Murray

Hi All,

I have tried increasing the all the upload limits for users in Administer / Settings / Uploads but I still can't upload any file > 1MB. Could someone please indicate where this setting is stored (table name or config file) so I can work around the problem.

Thanks

Murray

The ldap_addressbook module works fine for me on 4.6.0 with no changes from 4.5.2 although I had to make some of the suggested fixes on to make it work on 4.5.2 originally. In other words if you got it working on 4.5.2 it should work fine on 4.6.0.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for the project module which is probably a lot more complicated. I installed it and got the error below when I enabled it:

warning: Missing argument 1 for project_node_types() in /srv/www/htdocs/modules/project/project.module on line 50.

When I tried click on the project link I got the error below:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: node_access_join_sql() in /srv/www/htdocs/modules/project/project.module on line 282

Does anyone know of the status of porting the module to 4.6.0?

Thanks

Murray

After choosing to delete a user, instead of confirming the deletion, it just brings me back to the users page with no errors and the user is still there. If I try to delete a user who hasn't been blocked yet, instead of being told I can't delete them, it also just brings me back to the user list. Has anyone else successfully deleted a user with 4.6 RC?

I received the following error when deleting a forum:

user error: Table 'db98198454.forum' doesn't exist
query: SELECT f.nid FROM forum f WHERE f.tid = 15 in /homepages/.../includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/.../includes/common.inc:385) in /homepages/.../includes/common.inc on line 193.

However, I receive a successful "forum deleted" message after clicking "back" and refreshing the page. My installation uses a database prefix -- is it possible that the prefix is being ignored in an isolated block of code?

I've been upgrading my main database since like 4.1.x or something like that, so it could have some old stuff lying around in it but this is the first time an upgrade gave me errors.

Basically one of the last things the upgrade does is put a primary key constraint on the term_node table. My term_node table has lots of non-unique rows and so altering the table to add the constraint fails. I am at a loss as to what a query to remove all but one of the non-unique rows would look like so I can't make any suggestions but fixing the upgrade issue should probably be done before releasing as my logs are filling up with errors due to non-unique results being returned in term_node queries.

Just wondering how long this rc is finalized?

Thanks for making mutiple sites easier in 4.6, it is much appreciated.
Having installed/configged 4.6 w/out a problem, I'm now trying to set up mutiple sites on my local development instance (Windows box).

Per the instructions, I set up a second database (drupal_foo), a new sites folder (localhost.foo), and I modified the new settings.php with the right parameters...

$db_url = 'mysql://myuserhere:mypasswordhere@localhost/drupal_foo';
$base_url = 'http://localhost/foo';

When I browse to http://localhost/, I get my original site.
When I browse to http://localhost/foo I get a "requested URL not found error." Am I setting it up wrong or does this method not work when you are using localhost (working locally)?

I searched the forums and comments, could not find an answer to this.
Thanks.

Congratulations on currently having less than 10 outstanding critical bugs remaining in the cvs version.

I've only started testing the CMS recently, and find it to be the most robust tool I've seen to date. Bravo on a wonderful product.

I still see that there are quite a few outstanding normal bugs, however several are nearly six months old at this point; some are older than that.

At what point is your threshold set for the RC to consider the release stable and go gold?

Currently linked `drupal-4.6.0-rc.tar.gz` (and CVS) appears to contain a truncated `database.mysql`.

In the 4.6RC version, for login users this piece of code is used:
< f o r m action="?q=user/login&destination=node" method="post">

In 4.5.2, was used:
< f o r m action="?q=user/login" method="post">

(without the spaces in " f o r m")

The new code in 4.6RC broken XHTML validation. "&" should be sustituted with "&" for correct XTHML.

Is this a bug or a missed something?

Hi, just to report I've just installed 4.6RC from CVS, everything went fine and I like what I see.

Forums are so much easy to setup.
It's nice having access control right where it is and not having to go to users.

I've got all the modules I use from CVS too and so far I only find problems with bookreview (it seems it's still using 4.5 features). I will review it in detail tomorrow.

I will rework my php template tomorrow too.

One question, do I still need using sections.module to have a different template applied to my admin pages?

Thanks for your great work!

The new Theme 4.6.0 use a standard theme with NO TABLES for the desig?
(Ok tables for the calendar are evt. ok.)
- W3C AAA compatible?

Grats on the new release! I'm sure a lot of people put a lot of work into it! I will be upgrading soon as the dust settles a little bit.

I couldn't help noticing a couple of spirited conversations about taxonomy. I thought about them for about an hour and it seems there are valid points to either side. So, IMHO, and with a fervent hope I won't get trampled by the elephants as they peer squinty-eyed at shadows and wheel about pugnaciously on this narrow little jungle trail ... I would ask if it is possible to just put in a switch to select between the new taxonomy and the old taxonomy.

Perhaps the new taxonomy could be a default "auto" setting for use by new-b's and those who prefer it, and then a simple checkbox in admin allowing change to the old taxonomy form.

This may be a way to have the functionality of both, which are both valid, and this would be an overall plus no matter which side you're on, I hope.

Lot more work though I imagine, but perhaps it might be a possibility.

Humbly dodging the mighty elephants, kings of the jungle, who shake the earth as they pass, in all their majesty, whose pooh pooh is perfume to our noses, blah blah blah ...

"X new ..." links always takes you to the latest unread posts which is great. Except when there are many pages. In that case it just takes you the first page of the thread instead of the latest post. The users on my site find this very annoying, if this is intentional, pls think it over one more time. Thank you so much!
