Upgrading Drupal

Conciedering the importance of the version number (you need to know it in order to select the apropriate upgrade instructions), I'm surprised to find that the only place it's noted is in the changelog file.

Wouldn't it be better to save it in the database, and have some small text like "Drupal 4.6.2" at the entrance page of the administration interface.

Can someone explain to me what I need to do with the following sentence?

"Apply the patches to the Drupal core that are provided. Located in the 'patches' folder"

under i18n/patches folder, there are two patch files (i18n_includes.patch, and i18n_taxonomy_module.patch), what do I need to do with it? I download patch.exe to my machine and I've no idea how to execute those two patch file. I know this is a stupid question but after hours of looking around, I still don't have a clue how to go about this thing.

Thank you

Hello Everybody:

Specifications:

Apache2 v2.0.54
Drupal v.4.6
Php v.4.3.10-16

I have a problem with my drupal site. I worked with it fine but when i create a virtual host i can't login into.

When i enter the username and the password it try to load but it doesn't load anything. After that if i try to go to other link it don't load. I check all the forum topics searching help, i do all the thing that i found: i changed the php.ini, i check the cookies and its enable, i check the database and the session its open correctly, etc but nothing works.

hi everyone... yet another surprise with 4.7... this one is that for some reason i'm finding 20mb files in my home directory titled core.846 and the like since i upgraded to 4.7 beta 3. perhaps they are unrelated... or perhaps this is drupal forcing a server crash and a core dump? you'd think my ISP would be all over me on this though, right :o?

any thoughts? or is it something else?

Theres a bug with HTML in the latest beta. Using any HTML tags in a post and then saving it results in the HTML tags being removed. Ive tried this on a fresh install, which also removes markup. Has anyone else filed an issue yet, or is this some unique bug due to an unusual configuration. Im running this in a test install on php 5.1.1 through FastCGI and Apache.

When I try the goofy theme all the blocks disapear, In particular the Navigation block. When I try to configure the theme, I get:

>
Fatal error: Call to undefined function form_checkbox() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal-4.7.0-beta3/themes/engines/goofy/goofy.theme on line 9
<

Is it just me?
