Ubercart 6 module is not supported to PHP4

2009-11-27T00:56:18Z

Hello all,

I am using Ubercart6 + php4, is not supported.

I have php4 in my server and I have to use shopping cart in my website
for selling my product using drupal 6.

For shopping cart I find good module as ubercart.
But problem is that this ubercart 6 module is not supported in PHP4.

And it's hard to upgrade our server from php4 to php5. It may problem
to loss data on our server.

So anyone can help me give alternative solution,to use shopping cart + drupal 6.

thanks in advanced...

You can specify a specific revision by appending @1234 to the external
URI or adding -r1234 before the external URI external definition. The
syntax changed (or was extended) in version 1.5.

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html
for details.

Back when I was using externals, I had the modules we were external-ing cloned
into a local SVN repo. To wit:

/svn/drupalcone
/modules
/views
/6.x-2.4
/6.x-2.5
/cck
/6.x-2.1
/6.x-2.2

And then in my "new install image" directory, I had svn:external directives to
the versions we wanted to use. Then when there was a new version of one of
those modules, I'd add it to our repository, update the svn:external
directive, and then re-export the base image into each of our in-development
projects.

Turns out, though, that was a ridiculous amount of work. :-) Plus I'd always
be forgetting the right commands or paths or whatever because I'd only use
them every so often.

That's why I eventually threw that out and switched to all-drush. It's just
easier to let each project's svn repo be totally independent and do all
updating through Drush. It also means that the onus is not on me to update
our base image every time there's a new release, which makes life easier for
both me and the rest of our dev team that doesn't have to wait on my slow-arse
self before they can update something. :-)

I have used Hostgator and had to switch. After researching other hosting
companies, I ended up with Webhostingpad. I was running into the php
memory limit and needed more in order to run a custom module.

I altered my HG php settings and still had my problem. After contacting
support, I was told that in no way could the memory limit be raised above
the maximum (64M) allowed without moving to a dedicated server.

I have to admit Hostgator's support is great. They responded to my issues
quickly and were very professional. While I had to move to Webhostingpad
because of the PHP memory limit, the support isn't as good as Hostgator.

If you are not worried about the php memory limit, I highly recommend
Hostgator. If you need more than the 64M memory limit, Webhostingpad is a
good option.

I hope this helps

Thanks for the response. I exactly did the same what you mentioned. I went to admin/user/settings and modified settings , but after saving configuration, Location setting reset to default values. For instance, I tick the check box with caption 'collect during registrtaion'. After I click save configuration, the option is not checked anymore. Please let me know if I miss any step. Thanks. My drupal is setup in windows XP with XAMPP setup. Appreciate your help.

Yes this is totally possible with Location module. You can do more using

Re: Getting SVN to deal with orphaned and new files

2009-11-25T18:49:06Z

I use `cvs update -dP` to get the latest changes from drupal.org's CVS. Then I `svn add ...` and `svn rm ...` as needed. It's not so bad.

I treat Drupal core as a vendor branch. I could do so with each module I use as well, but that just seems not worth the effort.

Finally, I use svn:externals. So that when I'm working on multiple web sites I can make a patch to core or a module just once, and each website will get that change when I `svn update`.

Combining CVS and svn this way is a little tricky, but comes in handy, too.

"imagefield data"

2009-11-25T17:15:44Z

hi,

I have 6.14 drupal and last versions cck,servieces, imagefiled modules.

I've prepred a view for get all of one type content like shown here :http://grab.by/O9I but when I get the view result I get duplicated groups for each image data like here : http://grab.by/O9N AS you can see there are 3 group which nid:21 Because node contain 3 images.

this is happening when I added the Content: Project - data description field to fields block of view.

what can I do to prevent it? I need to get images as a one block like below
(I manually write the structure):
Project Images:
image: 1. image path
description: 1. image description
image: 2.image path
description: 2. image description
image: 3.image path
description: 3. image description

Re: How do i theme blog entries by content type?

2009-11-25T10:34:36Z

Hi Brendan,

1. If you are using pathauto, or url names that are more legible than
node/47 etc. then you should also get better theme template suggestions.
Make sure that you are linking to the page by its human-name, not its ID
number.

Some possible other solutions:

2. User devel to find the $node->type variable, and populate that in one
of your div tags id or class name at a high enough level, that you can
then detect and then theme just that page (or group of pages by type),
this would be done in your main page.tpl.php [and then you don't even
need a separate tpl.php files...]

3. Use Views to make a blog view that you like, and then you can theme
just that View [with however many 'pages' you make of that view as
daughters]

4. Use Panels with Views, and then theme on the Panels level.

I'm sure there are others I am forgetting [there is always more than 4
ways to skin a...]

How do i theme blog entries by content type?

2009-11-25T10:21:31Z

Hello Themers!

How do I theme a page based on content type?
I’ve got a site with a few different custom pages and separate .tpl.php files for their custom layouts and CSS/XHTML. The “Blog” page is a View with a list of teasers. How do I create a custom .tpl.php file that only targets the “page” (and layout) that the individual/full blog entries are displayed on?

The Theme Developer list these as the candidate files: page-node-#.tpl.php < page-node.tpl.php < page.tpl.php.

But I don’t want to use “page.tpl.php” as its too broad in its reach and I may decide to add other pages non-blog pages in the future.

I’ve tried “page-blog.tpl.php” – but it broke my layout. I still have some unresolved CSS/XHTML issues, so I’m wondering if “page-blog.tpl.php” is the correct naming convention, but I just have a few bugs in my code to work out?

A second (less important) question:

Keeping track of all those .tpl.php files is getting confusing! The Views pages are easy (“page-blog.tpl.php” or “page-work.tpl.php” for example), but Theme Developer is telling me that for all pages using the “page” content type, that I have to style them by their ID (“page-node-1.tpl.php” for the “about” page). Is there any way to name a .tpl.php file for a page content type in a more semantic/meaningful way?

Such as “page-contact.tpl.php” instead of “page-node-392.tpl.php”

Thanks!

One big problem with such solutions is that you are open to law suites for
libel, well at least the person posting the information is. I would have a
for-pay service or credit based service and make sure the person being
reported can't get access to it. I have not checked out your solution
though.

I agree. If there is to be an installation as the final result, I
require payment prior to that. I used to have the project paid 90% at
the time of installation, and accept the final 10% upon installation,
but that became too risky, and also the installation can be delayed
indefinitely completely out of my control.

I prefer time payments. I used to go with milestone payments, because of
the psychology of the client preferring a trigger that they could get
their arms around. The problem was that if the milestone was delayed,
the finances flip-flopped to where there was unpaid activity occurring,
and if the milestones needed to be rearranged midstream due to business
or other changes, getting the financial terms changed to reflect it was
often challenging. With timed payments, it's more straight-forward
keeping the revenue stream ahead of the expenses. Just make sure to
clarify in bold underlined print, or the equivalent, that the payments
are due ON those dates, not those dates plus 4 weeks of accounts-payable
shenanigans.

Yep, it is a tightrope. We have had a lot of sticky situations over the last year. I would say percentage wise the riskier accounts have been working as a sub. Especially working for marketing firms. Yet them seem to be able to land the bigger accounts. And think doing websites is some after thought.

Anyway, hang in there.

Yes this is totally possible with Location module. You can do more using gmap and views to display users on a map.

I downloaded and enabled location module, but not sure

Contracts are like fences. But ultimately it is about the relationship you have with the other side. That is why I think it is important to work directly for people and not be a sub, you can't manage the expectations of the end client.

I was using the "vendor drop" method Andrew describes until recently. I just
hated having to maintain it. So instead I hacked up a drush command that CAN
update core:

http://drupal.org/node/434944#comment-1939448

No idea when that issue will work its way into Drush itself, but the code I
posted works for me. I'm certain it's not the best approach, but it works for
me. :-)

Possibly. Or svn ignore. Unfortunately as far as I know you can't set a
server-wide ignore list, so I've never bothered to set it up for all of our
developers. (Some may have done it themselves. I'm not sure.) For my part I
do nearly everything from the Linux command line ssh'ed into the dev server,
so it's rarely an issue for me. :-)

Re: Getting SVN to deal with orphaned and new files

2009-11-24T21:05:59Z

The subversion way of doing this is to maintain two separate trees, one is the subversion repository and the other is the "vendor drop" (i.e. the latest version of Drupal core/contrib/whatever), kept in your file system.
Each time you have updated your Drupal files (from cvs or using drush) you run the script: svn_load_dirs.pl
(see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html#svn.advanced.vendorbr.svn_load_dirs)
This will update your svn repository copy from your local drupal files, but what is important is that it will preserve the correct history in the svn repository so you can see what the changes are. It manages new files, orphans, and actually lets you tell it about renamed files.
You can then update your website from the repository. If you need to roll it back, all the svn goodness is available to you.

When updating modules I've doing SVN del, CVS co, SVN add instead of simply CVS up because of orphaned and new files. SVN freaks out over orphans and the new files are just a pain since you need to SVN add for each one.

But I just installed Drush and I'm so excited about making all this easy. So I'm motivated to finally ask for help around this.

So if you commit CVS versions of contrib to SVN, what is your method for dealing with orphans and new files?

Wow; with drush, as Larry hinted, no need to use CVS versions anymore unless you've hacked the module. Goodbye cvs_deploy module and lots of CVS files getting committed to SVN.

But here is my question. Can anyone confirm that what I just described is not so with Drupal core. Though Drush can download a fresh non CVS install of Drupal, It isn't able to upgrade Drupal core. So it seems like it still makes sense to not use Drush for downloading Drupal core, but stick to CVS for ease of upgrade. Can anyone confirm that is correct?

SVN isn't quite as bad for this as you make it out to be. :-) You can do:

svn add --force sites/all/modules

and it will recursively add any files under that directory that it doesn't already know about. Be careful of ._ files and similar crap that OS X may create. :-)

That's actually my usual workflow at this point. Drush dl to grab new modules, drush update to update a module, followed by the svn command above and then commit. It doesn't handle file deletes or major file reorganization, but those are quite rare.

And I almost never check out a module straight from CVS. If I want a dev version, you can tell Drush to get that for you.

When updating modules I've doing SVN del, CVS co, SVN add instead of simply CVS up because of orphaned and new files. SVN freaks out over orphans and the new files are just a pain since you need to SVN add for each one.

But I just installed Drush and I'm so excited about making all this easy. So I'm motivated to finally ask for help around this.

So if you commit CVS versions of contrib to SVN, what is your method for dealing with orphans and new files?

Thanks,

Re: Imagecache : File is cached by browser.

upon ctrl + refresh (overriding browser cache) I get the new image to show up.

I would assume that Etag would cause the problem not to happen, but I dont see browser even asking for the image in request (I am using live http headers and tamper data)

Hi,

I am using imagecache for my user profile page, when i update image with a new image imagecache doesn't rename the image file name but successfully update the image on the server. Browser cached the image and shows the old image upon refresh, I wanted to ask if I can programmatically get around this problem?

have u had problems with stale image showing even after updating the image with new one? Any ways to get around it?

Cheers
