PHP 5.2.8 XML Parsing Broken Until Further Notice

By slimandslam on

If you're running PHP 5.2.8 and wondering why your RSS feeds, using the aggregator module, are resulting in broken links, you'll be happy to know that the problem is in PHP (libxml2, actually) and not in Drupal.

In fact, any Drupal module that uses the ext/xml parser under PHP 5.2.8 is busted if there are HTML entities in the content.

The details are here: http://www.cdatazone.org/index.php?/archives/49-Entities,-extxml-and-lib...

Case study: Canada's largest weekly newsmagazine moves to Drupal

By mcantelon on


The Georgia Straight is Canada's largest urban weekly: a Vancouver-based newsmagazine with a per-issue readership of almost 534,000.

Founded in 1967, the paper was critical of local politicians and police and was soon faced with fines for publishing obscenities and police raids. As time went on the "Straight", as locals call it, became more established, but maintained a progressive editorial stance. Straight.com is the newspaper's online presence.

Straight.com, in addition to publishing content from the print publication, is focussed on providing web-exclusive content and building online community. Site content includes special-interest blogs, video and audio, image galleries, and searchable listings for events, restaurants, clubs, and movies.

Background

Before conversion to Drupal, Straight.com used a number of methods and technologies to update the website. Originally static HTML, then outsourced, the Straight ultimately brought site management in-house, moving first to the Publish Button CMS then to a custom Cold Fusion-based content management system.
