:-(( Drupal still requires LOCK TABLE permission

By paddy_deburca on

On testing Drupal 4.7 I was saddened to see that 4.7 still requires LOCK TABLE permission - only this time it's harder to fix.

Previously, the sole fix was in db_next_id in database.mysql.inc - of course such fixes are hotly contested and largey unsupported.

Now, two new functions have been added, db_lock_table and db_unlock_table. These are called to lock the variables and the cache tables in bootstrap.inc.

So, where previously, an update to db_next_id in database.mysql.inc such as:

function db_next_id($name) {
  $name = db_prefix_tables($name);
  $id = db_result(db_query("SELECT id FROM {sequences} WHERE name = '%s' FOR UPDATE", $name)) + 1;
  db_query("REPLACE INTO {sequences} VALUES ('%s', %d)", $name, $id);

  return $id;
}

has now to be replicated to bootstrap.inc such as:

function variable_set($name, $value) {
  global $conf;

  db_query("SELECT name FROM {variable} WHERE name = '%s' FOR UPDATE", $name);
  db_query("REPLACE INTO {variable} (name, value) VALUES ('%s', '%s')", $name, serialize($value));
  if (!db_affected_rows()) {
    db_query("INSERT INTO {variable} (name, value) VALUES ('%s', '%s') FOR UPDATE", $name, serialize($value));
  }

  cache_clear_all('variables');

  $conf[$name] = $value;
}

and


function cache_set($cid, $data, $expire = CACHE_PERMANENT, $headers = NULL) {
db_query("SELECT cid FROM {cache} WHERE cid = '%s' FOR UPDATE", $cid);

impossible to use drupal on forward url?

By jorre on

after a week of trying to solve an issue with drupal and a forward url of mine, I still didn't manage to create a working drupal ...

"www.myserver.com/drupal" is the installation path of my drupal installation, and when I go to that URL, everything works fine...
BUT: I want my drupal blog to be reached by the URL: www.mydrupal.net (this is a forward URL that goes to www.myserver.com/drupal)

4.7 expandable parts not working with onload="somejavascript()"

By Vidarls on

I'm developing a theme with a dynamic menu, this menu requires javascript to be loaded on page load.
(using phptemplate) code:

<body <?php theme("onload_attribute", "initjsDOMenu()");?> >

is this the correct way of doing onload javascript?

When doing it this way, the collapsible parts i.e. settings menu stops working.

I did see a mention of this being a 4.7 registered bug, but I could not find wheter it was corrected or not.

Please advice
