Drupal 6.x

My hook_menu contains the following items (among others):

Hi there,

I put Drupal offline for site maintenance but it seems that the cron job can still be run by accessing cron.php.

When fiddling with the Drupal site and code of course I don't want the cron job to be executed.

So my question: Should the cron job page always be disabled when Drupal is off-line or should the site maintanance page have at least an option to do so?

Cheers
Mike

hello

i installed drupal 6 beta the first time - and sorry i'm a little bit disappointed ...

... there is still this old fashioned weight system (or am i wrong??) - please make it to a number 1 point in drupal 7 to improve the usability by an "arrow-driven" solution ...
... 99% of all cms-systems out there manage this in a nicer way ...

thanks and greetings

I request my hosting provider to move my site to new block running PHP5 and here is the new software version. Is it be okey running Drupal 5.3 or Drupal 6 with civicrm 1.9. This is multiple domains sites and I also plan to run Joomla 1.5.

I have been working on upgrading my flashnode module for Drupal 6 and I see that the {files} table is changing and nid is being dropped.

Flashnode (for D-5) currently uses nid to link entries in the {flashnode} table to entries in the {files} table. Earlier versions of flashnode used to store both nid and fid, but because the {files} table had both of these I stopped storing fid as this could be derived from the nid alone. Maybe that was wrong at the time, but anyhow, that's how it works.

The problem is that with D-6 the nid gets dropped and replaced by uid, so existing content will have no way of establishing the connection between flashnodes and files, post upgrade.

One option is to write a pre-upgrade routine for flashnode, to be run on existing D-5 sites, that will amend the {flashnode} table to add in the new data. However, I am fairly sure some people might dive in, upgrade, and then realise their content is broken.

Just a thought, and it may be late in the day, but would it be possible to make a table available that holds old fid/nid pairs that modules could refer to after an upgrade? That way a user can follow a simple upgrade path?
