Drupal 4.7.x

During the last few hours i struggled with a problem installing drupal locally on Apache/Windows XP.
I installed it in an alias directory ("soneira").

When trying to access it with "localhost/soneira/" it came up with a 403 error, whereas accessing "localhost/soneira/index.php" directly worked fine.

After some trial and error procedure i found the first little line in the default .htaccess packed with drupal to be the trigger of that error.

hi,

i'm trying to setup drupal 4.7b2 to use an external SMTP server on another box than my drupal server, on the same lan.

reading abt setup of drupal to use external SMTP server @:

http://drupal.org/node/28696

i DL'd into .../sites/drupal/includes:

"http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/drupal/contributions/tricks/smt..."
"http://www.lemure.net/~chuck/openbsd_help/class.smtp.inc"

then, editing:

======================================================
${EDITOR} .../sites/drupal/includes/smtp.inc
@7
--- $params['host'] = ini_get('SMTP');
+++ $params['host'] = "mail.testdomain.net";

@14
// Username for authentication
//$params['user'] = 'testuser';
// Password for authentication
//$params['pass'] = 'testuser';
+++ $params['user'] = 'hostmaster';
+++ $params['pass'] = 'my_password';

======================================================

and, editing in settings.php because, it seems, conf.php has been replaced ...

======================================================
${EDITOR} .../sites/drupal/sites/drupal.testdomain.net/settings.php

+++ $conf = array(
+++ 'smtp_library' => 'includes/smtp.inc'
+++ );
======================================================

if i, then, login and request a password to be sent to my account, i see in Apache log:

[Sat Jan 07 13:36:36 2006] [error] [client 172.30.11.6] PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in .../sites/drupal/includes/class.smtp.inc on line 78, referer: http://drupal.testdomain.net/?q=user/password

All of the following logs are empty even after I run cron.php

I'm using cvs (from 2006-01-05 download)

I am testing CVS (2006-01-05 download) and am using pushbutton. I cannot find the section to enable the secondary links/menu under global settings!!!

This line of code appears in page.tpl.php but there is no option to enable that menu

      <?php print theme('links', $secondary_links) ?>
 

Basically, I would like to convert www.GameSlammer.com to Drupal and retain as much functionality as possible. At the same time, I would like to get the added features that come out of the box with Drupal (Windows). I need to be able to put new games, articles, and news on the site and replace the forums. Also, I would like to keep any customizations to a minimum. All forum posts can be lost, there is no need to keep them at all. Have a look at the Game Slammer website and let me know if you have any questions.

What are the plans for the language module to be available in 4.7?
