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

Hi there.

Stuck between 4.6 and 4.7

I have several sites running Drupal 4.6 and they could use some of the new 4.7 stuff that's out there. However, I'm very afraid after my experience setting up a test 4.7 site. I'm getting lots of errors from many different 4.7 modules, the most common of which are:

array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array

Unknown column 'language' in 'field list' query

Table '<the name of my database>.node_field' doesn't exist query

Duplicate entry 'themes/<some theme>/<some css file>' for key 1 query

The error messages are great, but the main symptom is that I've tried and failed to use any of the 4.7 content display mods including Category and Dashboard, and also can't use the latest CVS versions of things like Blog Theme, EPublish, Organic Groups...

Argh, I can't list them all. I just want to try to make a site where I provide little blocks that users can assemble to form a home page, yet restrict the content they can create to "about me" kind of stuff. I want them to have maximum control of the layout and theme of their pages, but no control over the content of the little blocks. Not such a big deal, right?

I can't seem to make this happen with 4.6 or 4.7. Blog Theme seems right but it looks too much like a blog. EPublish, Organic Groups, Sections, and Series all sound right but I haven't made them work.

Maybe there's a way I can configure PHP to clear up these problems, but I got all my old Drupal sites to work with PHP5 so why doesn't this brand new 4.7 site work?

nice menus- introducing delays

Dear All,

I have been using nice menus for generating dynamic menus.... but they seem to appear and disappear too quickly. is there any way we can introduce delay in the expansion and dissapearance of the menus... I tried using setTimeout function in the java script. but somehow it didnt work. Any help in this regards is appreaciated.

Thanx in Advance

Getting --break-- and php to work?

I cannot seem to get <!--break--> to work together with a php snippet that inserts a node queue at the end of the page (<?php print nodequeue_node_titles(2);?>).
It is a very simple (html) page with an image and some text. I have tried both the php input format and also one 'homemade' format. The page works fine and shows what it is supposed to show except for <!--break--> not working.

Can somebody tell me what I'm missing?

profileplus.module showing duplicate users...

I have been testing the most excellent profileplus.module which allows users and their account info to be searchable. The problem I foud is that one user will be listed two or three times in a row rather than just once when info is searched. The module is returning the same user account two or three times. My question is "Why?" and how do I change this behavior? Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

cheers,

Vocabulary getting deleted

I am using 4.6.4, and I have a vocabulary for which i did not assign any name, and it has terms under it and lots of nodes associatd with those terms. Somehow when I edit this vocabulary and click submit the vocabulary gets deleted along with all the terms in it - without any confirmation warning. This does not happen when I assign the vocabulary some name but always happen when I set the name to nil ('');

Please suggest if this is a bug or intended behaviour. It would be great if someone could point out the triggering code in taxonomy.module.

thanks
