Module development and code questions

Hey,

i just thought I want to block special IPs (those of the spammers) directly via the APF firewall,
so I have the need to issue commands like

apf -d 81.95.144.66 "trackback-spam"

directly as root from within an existing drupal admin installation (i.e. via a link)

anyone got that implemented already? that would come in VERY handy...
could even allow for automated firewall blocks for selected IPs

(blocking anywhere later just takes up too many resources)

thanks,christoph

hi
I installed the civiCRM in my drupal installation. But when I try to make a new addition like "add a new individual" it returns an error or rather a warning that the folder templates_c/en_US is not writable. Why is this? Need I make any changes in the settings of the civiCRM or changing the mode of the folder is the only issue?

It currenlty works as I changed the writability of the specified folder. But is this the only way out? Is this a bug in the module?

Please help

Hold your horses, it does not exist (yet?).

Just #1 on my modules wish list for 2007. I thought there might be a way to use the diff tool to do this (or cygwin diff.exe for win users), just the same way that the gallery project uses external tools to do stuff (netPBM, ffmpeg, imagemagick, zip, etc.).

It could be used to automatically apply patches to e.g. other modules. Would there be a way to overcome the implied security problems? Is this sci-fi or is it doable? (Would anyone be interested in development?)

Cheers,
Phil

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a module / feature avail in CCK or else to allow the user to perform field-wise batch-edits/updates on nodes/CCK nodes

i.e. update field X in all selected/all records to Y

Your help is appreciated

thanks

I wrote the following to update a field,

db_query("UPDATE {node_question} SET field_answer_value = '%s' WHERE nid = %d", $form_values['answer'], arg(1));

I can see that field has been updated in the database, but node page still shows the old data. Do I need to do something else to complete the query?

Thanks.
