Drupal 4.5.x or older

Hi, I'm Bookworm the lead developer and designer at DesignBreakDown. DesignBreakDown is an upcoming template club and design resource site, which will provide a variety of resources and services to the Joomla!, Drupal, and Wordpress communities. Our motto is "We Break Stuff" which expresses our philosophy in regards to design and services/resources. We like to keep things simple and broken down so that people from a variety of related and closely connect fields can utilize and understand our services and resources. I like to think of DesignBreakDown as a team of coders for designers and a team of designers for coders. Our resources and services will help improve and speed-up the work-flow of designers and coders alike, we take the confusing hassle out of connecting freelancer to freelancer in a co-operative way. I'm not going to mention publicly what were secretly working on right now, but you can however checkout out our currently launched service called PSD2CMS at http://www.psd2cms.designbreakdown.com , which should give you good idea of where we're headed.

I am taking over an old Drupal site: to minimise downtime, I want to get a local copy working first, upgrade that to the latest drupal, and then make it live.

This means that, for the moment, I don't want the base href set in the HTML files to point to the URL of the live site, but instead want it to point to something on localhost.

In sites/default/settings.php I have commented out the old $base_url and gone:

$base_url = 'http://localhost:8888';

Hi all,

I uploaded some contrib modules into the wrong folder. Instead of using drupal/sites/all/modules I put them into drupal/modules (where the core-modules are).

What do I do, to get them to drupal/sites/all/modules?

• just move them
• deactivate, move the module's folder to the new location, re-activate
• or completely different

Regards
jan

I have added blocks to pages as well as story so far. But lately Drupal Administration doesn't allow me to set a new block (that has been saved) as right hand side or to give a weightage such as 1. I cannot add any new blocks to the pages now. Please let me know why this is happening & how I can fix it.

Best

Hello,

Anyone knows a tool or a way to convert a module from a previous version of drupal to a recent version??

Thanks

hi drupal community,

i have to deal with a very strange "page not found" error.

a site i set up for a vocational institution returns "page not found" on any request for a node.
the site still allows to create new nodes and shows them as it should.

when examining the database with phpmyadmin i run into another strange phenomenon:
the list of nodes shows correctly but when i try to go on the edit view of a specific dataset in the node-table, phpmyadmin returns an empty result - as it does when i run a mysql-query for a certain node, e.g. using the nid as parameter like this: SELECT * FROM `node` WHERE `nid`=1 ... returns empty result while this very node is shown on the phpmyadmin-page that lists the content of the node-table, showing title, timestamp, nid, a portion of teaser and body etc. of every node.

surprisingly i managed to have the site show its nodes again by copying the database and changing settings.php to connect to the copy with exact the same content as database no.1.

the site is run on a very old drupal version (no changelog.txt on the server, index.php´s is dated with august 2004).

i already emptied cache following the results of research on drupal-forums but cache wasn´t activated anyway.
