Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

event and views modules break admin/modules

Hi,

I just upgraded my site to 4.7.4, and all seems to be working pretty well.

However, I'm trying to install the event module, and things aren't working nicely.

I put the event module in to the sites/default/modules directory, and then went to the admin/modules screen to enable it.

Once I did that and hit "Save Configuration", I got an error that says:

The requested operation could not be performed by the proxy.

Document contains no data

If I move the event module away, things start working again.

New Page + aggregator - duplicate stories?

Hi - I used News Page to filter aggregated stories from all kinds of news wires, then fed it back through into a block. However, every so often, a really hot story will appear in many publications, filling my block with the same story 5 or 6 times! Is there any easy way to disable certain stories? I tried to deselect the story from category, but it didn't seem to work... any ideas?

Thanks!

automatically unpublish forum postings after X days

Does anyone have any ideas how one could set forum postings to be automatically unpublished after a certain period of time (ex. 14 days)?

I'm interested in something that could be set as a default, rather than using the Scheduler module to allow contributors to set their own dates for unpublishing content.

Timeline broke my site - help?

Hi - I just added the timeline, views and events modules to my website. I added some events and everything seemed to be going fine, and then I think I was on the views page in settings and my site broke. I'm getting this error on every page:

Fatal error: views_build_view() [function.require]: Failed opening required './sites/default/modules/views/views_query.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/liskidde/public_html/etsyglass/main/sites/default/modules/views/views.module on line 629

How do I fix this?

Changing a page to a story

Hi,

Can I change a page to a story? I'm running Drupal 4.7. After searching the Drupal site, I'm unable to find any 4.7 modules that allow the changing of a published node.

Thanks in advance.

Drupal Cache Performance Module List*

Hey guys,

I thought it might be useful to start a post about the various caching modules / potential caching performance solutions available for Drupal. I am curious which caching module will work well for a "dynamic" website. There seems to be various options, and hopefully someone here can shed some light as to the pros and cons of each one.

Thanks and look forward hearing from you.

Best,

Ivan

PS. Current problem of Drupal website follow similar:

Drupal Caching on High Traffic Site
http://drupal.org/node/81012

Cache table overhead and crashing
http://drupal.org/node/78424

Modules / Caching Solutions in no particular order:
- Boost Module
- Splitting up Cache Table
- File Based Cache
- Fast Path Caching
- Improving Category Caching
- Memcache
- Block Cache (for blocks, so kind of independent, but list for reference)

Boost Module (not released yet)
http://drupal.org/project/boost
http://bendiken.net/2006/05/28/static-page-caching-for-drupal

Split up cache table:
http://drupal.org/node/72290

Benefits:

1) selects from smaller tables are faster

2) some of the new, small tables won't change that often. This makes the mysql query cache more efficient.

File Based Caching
http://drupal.org/node/45414

Fast Path Caching
http://drupal.org/project/fastpath_fscache

Relates to category module and hope to improve its caching:
