Upgrading from 4.5.7 to 4.6.5

My site is currently running Drupal 4.5.7. I would like to upgrade it to 4.6.5. The only problem is that the upgrade.php files don't go up to 4.5.7. What do I need to change in my database?

Error when clicking on Calendar link.

I have installed Drupal 4.5.7 and have it running ok. Then I insnstalled the event. module which went ok also. But when I click on the calendar link,I get the error below.p

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: node_access_join_sql() in /srv/www/htdocs/techcommittee/modules/event/event.module on line 612

This is line 612:

Search

How do I make the existing search engine more effective?

No "access control" option showing up under "Administer"

I am not seeing any "access control" option under "Administer". Everything else seems to be showing up as expected and the site works fine with the exception of me not being able to set access controls (something I really need to be able to do).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Drupal Security History, Review, and Comparisons

Background
The Drupal "Overview for Consultants" page ( http://drupal.org/node/43438 ) in the handbook needs information on Security. I'd like to collect that in this forum thread and then add it into the Handbook. I've started some research, but would appreciate any other input people have.

I have frequently turned to Secunia reports to compare the history and security of a product. They have information on more than 6,500 different products at http://secunia.com/product/

Drupal's Review
Drupal 4.x is reviewed here: http://secunia.com/product/342/

They provide

"Statistics Based on Advisories
- Advisories Month by Month
- Solution Status
- Criticality
- Where
- Impact"

They do not provide the amount of time between the different milestones in the process (e.g. time from vulnerability known to developers to vulnerability patch, and the point -if any- where an exploit was created).

Drupal has been relatively secure, especially considering that (in my knowledge) the time between knowledge of the vulnerability and patch-release is very small if not immediate.

Other Systems
Of course, when presenting Security information it is important to consider "secure compared to other products that do the same thing" and in these cases, there are some systems which have better records than Drupal, but most do not. I would like to create a comparison chart, but was curious which of these systems seems best to compare Drupal. When considering alternatives to Drupal for different purposes, which of these systems do you think are most often included in the list?

Overriding the user list pages using phptemplate based themes

Thought it best to start a discussion re: overriding the USER LIST page layouts here, rather than in the handbook.

In response to a question by Steve:

-----------------------------------------------
I used your snippet to display profile. It works fine when I display it in http://www.mysite.com/user/John_Smith. All the profile fields have their label and looks exactly what I wanted. I will look like:

Name: John Smith
City: New York
About me: I am a web designer.

But when I display it as http://www.mysite.com/profile or http://www.mysite.com/profile/city/new_york to list all the profiles, then it does not show the 'profile field labels' and only profile fields are listed . It looks like:

John Smith
New York
I am a web designer

Hi Steve,

I haven't created an override for the user_list pages yet, so I don't have a quick answer to your query.

I think you need to override the theme_user_list function. the example above overrides the theme_user_profile function.

I don't have time to try this at the moment, but, if you try this:

  1. copy the override snippet for the user_profile and add it to your template.php file
  2. before saving the new template.php file, change "user_profile" to be "user_list" eg. instead of phptemplate_user_profile it should read phptemplate_user_list. (do the same for the phptemplate callback)
