Drupal 4.5.x or older

I just upgraded from 4.5 to 4.7. The upgrade basically went without a hitch. Excellent! :)

Question, though.

I'm quite sure that in drupal 4.5, with clean url's on and working, an image (at say, node/456) embedded with:

<img src="gallery/1.jpg">

would result in the image at www.sitename.com/gallery/1.jpg displaying.

hi guys,

I've been having a look at a few of these (download shop solutions) and while it's a little bit buggy (only minor little glitches - not showstopping errors) and the payment rates (after the mobile operators' cut is taken) are quite low, I thought it might be worth flagging up here.

In a nutshell, the Artists First solution allows bands/artists to setup their own digital download shop, accepting SMS mobile payments, PAYPAL and credit/debit cards (via paypal) and selling downloads including: MP3, video, images, files, TRUETONES (aka REALTONES).

It's quite well put together, especially the TRUETONE (aka realtones) sales bit, but, the main drawback is the revenue share between the Artist/band - Artist First and the mobile operator. For a £1.50 sale (whether it's a file, mp3, video, image), here's the splits depending on operator:

operator sale price/artist revenue
-------------------------------------
Vodafone £1.50/£0.70
Orange £1.50/£0.69
O2 £1.50/£0.71
T Mobile £1.50/£0.68
Virgin £1.50/£0.42
======================================

I've nothing to do with Artists First. I was just trying out their solution. They have a free 3-day trial to suck it and see for yourself and the setup price ranges from $19 for a basic account to $30 for a label account.

Hello!

I want to upgrade (manually) a very old drupal installation (I dont know the version, it was installed around February/March 2003) to 4.7.1.
In the new database structure node has a column named "vid", which doesnt seem to be the vocabulary-ID.
What is it?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi guys,

I've been pondering, for a while, how soon it will be possible to deliver a Drupal users login details by SMS (instead of or as an option to email).

After doing a bit of digging, it's possible using an SMS Gateway and a bit of tweaking of the user.module- almost all the SMS gateways I looked at allow you to send an SMS by sending a specially formatted email to an assigned email address.

Just wondering if there are any other Drupallers out there looking into the mobile side of Drupal..in particular:

(a) mobile micropayments - allowing users to buy things (in particular downloads) from a Drupal site using their mobile phone. especially low-value items, like a music download or an item that costs less than €1.99, which is a pain to have to use a credit/debit card for.

(b) Wap/IMODE push - extending a Drupal site (using the ecommerce suite and file.module contrib) to sell and deliver ringtones/mobile content to a mobile phone. (at the moment that's do able for truetones using the file.module/normal payment methods and a simple WAP theme for delivery)

(c) mobile registration - allowing users to register using their mobile (i.e. instead of their email address, their mobile phone number is used).

(d) mobile blogging - allowing users to update their blogs/image gallery/video gallery using their mobile (which is doable at the moment using the mailhandler.module and using email as the delivery mechanism)

Would you please tell me why drupal is not destroying its cookies at the time of machine shutdown?

Hey everyone,
