MySQL 5 uses 41 char passwords instead of 32 chars. Drupal 6 uses a 32 char password similar to the old MySQL 4 password. The 32 char field limits our ability to bring in users from other sites that already use MySQL 5.
I searched drupal.org for password and mysql 5. Found only old discussions. Not Drupal 6 or 7. Optional models offer security aimed at solving other problems.
I'm wondering if there is any interest of having rest/web services apis in the future for Drupal.
The advantage to this would be a option for building decoupled applications.
For example, it would might allow someone to provide an advanced reporting web site. Anyone with a Drupal site could go to this independent reporting site, type in their URL and an API key, and get back various data and analysis of their community.
It would also allow development integration from any language, kind of like the Google APIs do for their sites.
Forgive the potentially simple question, but I'm nearing the end of a project deathmarch and may not running on all cylinders.
Problem: I want to redirect a user after they login for the first time to a special welcome page. All subsequent logins should go to a different user home page.
I need to create script on PHP, which will grab info from somethere and update Drupal nodes using it.
For example I have list of prices of some goods somethere in the Internet, I grab this list and now I want to update prices on my Drupal site using info from that list. What should I use? Does Drupal have something, what provides such functionality?
looking forward to programing a modul I had a look at the taxonomy data base structure. There are two tables that also could be just one, as the parent-ID of a taxonomy term also could be written in the table that lists the taxonomys instead of a seperate table with Taxonomy-id and parente-Texononomy-id. Why there are two seperated tables (term_data and term_hierarchy), and should I follow this structure in my own programing because it has some advantages to do so? I only see the disadvantage of less performance right now...
I am having a problem setting up my community website. The issue is that when I disallow 'node administration' for authenticated users, they cannot visualize images inserted in the blog. But when I allow 'nodo administration' I end up allowing the insertion of a type of content that I don't want to allow them to insert.
I can't really understand this problem of showing pictures or not based on this mentioned access control. Even because the blog's text isn't bounded to this setup.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
