Drupal 7.x

i have browsed other posts, general concenus was NOT to upgrade to php5.3.*

however...

i have a module in a Drupal installation that requires 5.3.*

it is one module out of all modules for all my 10 + Drupal installations

so, the dilema is, i risk breaking all my Drupal installations because some older Drupal modules won't be able to run on 5.3.*, so, obviously not wise to go ahead at this point

however, i will need to run this particular module, somehow and some point and also upgrade to php 5.3.*, because this is the way it will go, especially with D7

Hey Guys,

First post to this forum, hope this is the right place. And yes, i did search quite a bit for a solution.

Outline to my question

• We are building a drupal site based on drupal 7.
• the "client" has an existing microsoft based solution to administer "products". The data is stored in a microsoft access database
• the drupal site should be able to display contents from this access database
• the data from the access db is being changed now and then, so the contents in drupal need to be synched periodically
• the drupal website will have many other contents administered by drupal, so it's not only displaying those access db based information
• we have an open ODBC interface to the access database

Question

I see 3 ways of doing this:

Solution 1

Drupal 7 is able to use 2 Databases, a normal mysql database for the standard content types we need for the website and the access database for other content types.

I don't really think this works and is a good approach.

Solution 2

There is a drupal module that is able to access ove odbc an access database to migrate datasets. This can be automated over a cronjob. so once a day this module will 'sync' the data all the custom content types that are related to the access db.

And how can i fix it? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Found out it was buggy because some of my field template had html comment and that made part of the content disapear when stripping tags.
So it's kind of a bug in the core search function that generate the snippet.

I've asked this question before & searched numerous times on here but still a definitive answer seems unclear. I would have thought this to be a fundamental requirement of larger Drupal sites, so am amazed the answer is so illusive:

What is the best way to create a search of a large amount of data that requires periodical updates?

I've worked with ColdFusion in the past & that was relatively straight forward; create a db, access this with a search & upload/overwrite the db periodically.

Hello,

Im new to Drupal and got my site up and running but i get errors when i try to fetch information about new translations.
I get this messages:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/intranet/includes/common.inc on line 927.
warning: strtr() [function.strtr]: The second argument is not an array in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/intranet/includes/common.inc on line 944.

Iam using the Open Atrium project so im not sure if this is a drupal issue.
