simplenews sign-up block not displaying after upgrade to 4.7

We just upgraded our site from 4.6 to 4.7. We had a sign-up block for our newsletter. It displayed fine in the 4.6 site, but in the 4.7 site we just get the block title, and no sign-up field. I checked in settings, and it's set to display the sign-up form, and we can't figure out what we need to change.

Multiple logins 4.7.1

I've been having problems with users needing to login twice. I've found mention of this in the following nodes:

http://drupal.org/node/44265
http://drupal.org/node/56357
and
http://drupal.org/node/56255

I've replicated this on FF and IE 6.0 on a PC. Is there any specific method of fixing this?

Thanks,

OG Challenge - I have lost

I am having a problem with OG which is probably due to a silly oversight in a setting but it has completely beaten me. In the hope that I can obtain some help from the gurus on this site I have set up a test drupal site at

ping.module vs. ping services?

So are people using the ping.module and maintaining/sending directly to their own list of sites that take xml-rpc feeds -- or is it better to just use a ping service like pingomatic, ipings or pingoat and point the ping.module towards them (currently the default way is to pingomatic I believe, but added the patch that allows for an array of services).

And can/should you send to more than one? (I'm new to the concept of pings - so trying to make sense of it all.)

Thanks.

problem duplicating book module

Hi everyone,

Inspired after reading http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/file/developer/examples/node_example.module and http://drupal.org/node/40684, I tried to duplicate the book module by copying the module file and replacing all the words 'book' with 'blah', and by creating a new 'blah' table as well (by exporting a clean table of 'book'). Unfortunately, I did not just run into the styling issues that http://drupal.org/node/2814 ran into, but there seem to be a lot of clash between the book and blah modules. At the bottom of both my blah and book pages I see two instances of 'add child page' and 'printer friendly version'. One links to adding a child page in the blah module ../node/add/blah/parent.. which would be correct if the page I am viewing is a blah page, while the other links to adding a child page in the book module ../node/add/book/parent.. which would be wrong since I am viewing a blah page. Same applies for book pages.

If I turn off either module then the double linking disappears, so it definitely seems to be an overlap in functions of these two modules. Since there were two 'add child page' links I had a look at the code (I don't know php) and it seems that it would probably be a problem with the 'if' conditional? I think both modules are saying 'yes' to the 'if' conditional regardless of whether you are looking at a blah or a book page.

function book_link($type, $node = 0, $main = 0) {

4.7.2 and Private message module : syntax error

Installed 4.7.2 , the only extra module installed was priv message for 4.7
Then created user 'aaa' and 'bbb'
'aaa' writes a book page - no error is seen
'bbb' logs in and sees error message [ see below ]
disabling pm module makes the error vanish
( similar errors with wishlist module )
