hi

today i updated my site from drupal rc1 40 to 4.0. i think something went wrong with the databases updates. the block where an authentificated user can edit his [m/f] information and submit new content is not visible when logged in making it hard to sumbit or to administrer :-(

normally, my blog enties all went to the frontpage, however, now all are just being "blog" without being promoted makeing my site look rather empty.

three question:
1) me being stupid, or have more people experienced these kind of propblems?
2) any idea how to solve the problem regarding not having a personal block for changing and sumbitting when authentificated (i still can access admin pages by copy/past-ing url's)
3) how to select the blogs nodes from the database and put them to frontpage (sql statements needed?)

regarding 2 and 3

* changed for my account that user infomation was enabled with the gui and found that alle previousaly published nodes (being my blogs) where now unpublished.

so i am searching for two simple (?) sql scriptys, like
use database
-select all nodes, change "unpublshed" towards published
-select all users, change "user information" block to enabled

i know this is not okay (changing *ALL* nodes and users) however for my site it is okay. any help?

- update node set status = 1 where status = 0 (where clause is not really necessary)
- I don't know, but can't you just set the block to 'enabled' in the admin interface?
or if the problem is that you cannot access the admin site anymore:
update blocks set status = 1, custom = 0 where name = 'user information'

thanks!. only one point unanswered, was this due to stupidity at my side of the internet connection or is there a flaw in the upgrade script?

btw: the weird thing was that turning on the "user info" in teh admin block, didnt change this block?

The update script should maintain the node settings. I didn't notice this happening with my tests and nobody else who tested it mentioned those problems. Lets hope its just you Only local images are allowed.

As for the user info it now has two blocks really. You can control the behaviour of the log in block and the user info blog. Also make sure you clear the cache for anon users, or wait till the time expires as the blocks will be present for them until things change.
