Drupal 4.7.x

Hello,

While my office appreciated having the Google Spellcheck plugin added, they wanted to know why Firefox's auto-spellcheck doesn't work on our site.
I googled and found a lot of people complaining about this issue with Wordpress (and a patch to fix it) but the patch affects what appears to be a Wordpress-specific configuration file.

I should say that, if you right-click the site's TinyMCE textfields and select "Spell Check This Field" it will work just as planned, but for some reason (and unlike any other site) that option defaults to unchecked.

(I'm actually in the process of upgrading a 4.5 site to 4.7 (and eventually 5.x), but my question is specific to the 4.6 to 4.7 step...)

I have done all the standard steps (d/l 4.7 code and appropriate modules that I want) and unzipped them on my server. Rather than doing the 'delete directory and re-create' mechanism I use a symlink to point to the active version (ie: In root directory I have a drupal-4.6 and drupal 4.7 directory and then a symlink called drupal that simply points to the appropriate 'active' version).

Anyway, I have triggered the upgrade.php script. The progress bar moved nicely along to ~55% and then has basically stopped for the past 20 minutes. If i look at 'top', I see apache and MySQL processes running at 65%+ and 35%+ of CPU the whole time.

Now, my test system isn't the most powerful in the world (Duron 700 / 256MB ram) and my database isn't small (5800 nodes, 20000 comments) but after sitting here for nearly 1/2 an hour I'm starting to worry that the upgrade will crap out at some point and leave me in nowhere land.

I guess I'm looking for some confirmation that "yes, it can take that long to perform the upgrade; don't worry about it" or a "Hmm, that is strange, you might have some problems".

I have suddenly begun to get the following error message in the logs when adding a new user, using the contact form and using the email features of advuser:

mail() [function.mail]: Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i' in /DRUPALROOT/modules/user.module on line 409.

The strange thing is that every now and then in testing it has worked and then immediately failed again. I have also restarted sendmail, but this has not helped. Using mail on the shell command line works fine.

I really hope someone has been here before and can advise!

Hello,

I've really searched the forum, the doc, and either I can't get solutions to work, either it was not exactly what I was looking for.

I've created a view with the "view" module to display news on the website. The path to this view is : Home > news
But when I click to read the entire news, the node is not related to its parent. I want to to activate the "news" link when I'm on a page tagged "news".

I have Path and Pathauto modules enabled - But still I am getting example.com/node/4 kind of urls instead of example.com/this-is-url kind of url

I am not able to remember what I am missing. :(

Hi.

I've built a vodcast site that also plays flv stream for each episode. The flv files are streamed from flvhost.com.

I'm using flvplayer.swf from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=flash_video_player to play the flv files.

I've embedded the flvplayer in the Body Template section of Contemplate for a particular type I've constructed in CCK.

Here's kind of what I've embedded

<div id='video' align='left'>
<!--[if gte IE 5]>"
<?php
print "<PARAM NAME=\"FlashVars\" VALUE=\"file=http://somename.flvhost.com/pathftoflvfile/" . $field_streamingvideofilename[0]['value']  . "&autostart=true\" />\n";
?>
<![endif]-->

<?php
print "<embed src=\"http://somename.flvhost.com/pathtoflvplayer/flvplayer.swf\" width=\"384\" height=\"236\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"
type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" 
flashvars=\"=http://somename.flvhost.com/pathftoflvfile/" . $field_streamingvideofilename[0]['value']  . "&autostart=true\" />\n";
?>
</div>

$field_streamingvideofilename[0]['value'] contains the name of the fiv file that was entered by the person who creates each episode of the vodcast.
