drupal 4.6.0 on php 4.3.10?

By Chronistin on

I have a new project, and drupal would be perfect for it - provided I could use image functionality from 4.6.0. Unfortunately, the server still runs on php 4.3.10, and I have no control over this.

I tried to set up a test site, and it worked fine. Read a little further here on drupal org & learned that the new search module needs the newer php-version.

I could live without the search functionality. Are there other functions/modules that would have a problem with an older php-version?

thx,
Chronistin

64KB mysql default TEXT datatype

By maynard on

OK, so I'm considering drupal or scoop for a personal pet project. One problem that I have is that some of the written content I wish to present is large, well over 64KB in length, which would exceed the mysql default TEXT record length. While I realize that I could just change this to another value - 256KB for example - I'd still be limited to a size of that value. What if I needed more for certain projects and less for others? I'm caught in a bind of not having enough for some and wasting space for others.

CSS Layout & Validation

By jabi on

Looks great but have a few concerns:

  1. Is it possible to develop a layout that uses

    for positioning? I'm looking to break out of tables completely for layouts and only use them to present spreadsheet type data as per W3C recommendations.

  2. Using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">, is there anything that is not fully compliant and would cause a page to fail validation?

    3. Thanks, from a hopefully new user.

Variables to display viewing user's username/email within articles?

By trafficx on

Is it possible to display the viewing user's username and email address inside an article, by using a variable such as {{UNAME}} and {{EMAIL}}? (In other words, I as viewing user should see my own username and email address displayed within the article body)

If yes, does this also work if the variables are used as content of a form tag?

e.g.
HTML Code:

<INPUT type=text name=username value="{{UNAME}}">

etc., so that this info can be passed on to an external site?

If I start with Drupal core, will I wish I'd used CivicSpace?

By DaveNotik on

All, I've got a general question I'm sure has been asked many a time: If I use the Drupal core, rather than the CivicSpace distro, am I missing out? Or can I technically add all the modules CivicSpace has?

I don't want the whole CivicSpace, but I don't want to encounter something I'm trying to add to my Drupal 4.6 that is only done for CivicSpace and can't be integrated into my Drupal core.

I'm using Drupal for a groups type system, and want to install modules as appropriate rather than launch into the whole CS and turn off/take out modules as appropriate.
