Singapore
It is rather surprising to notice the lack of a Singapore geographical group to bring Drupalists in the region together.
Get to know fellow Drupalists from Singapore through this group. Given that Singapore is such a small country, it would not be too difficult to organise gatherings for Drupal enthusiasts.
Help to spread the word about this group and participate in the community.
亚太DrupalCon会议组织者邀请您们来参加
我们很兴奋地宣布成立亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组。亚太DrupalCon会议组织者计划打好基础来促进在亚太地区召开Drupal国际会议(DrupalCon)。
亚太DrupalCon会议组织者欢迎Drupal使用者及社群参与，並需要大家提供意见和协助。DrupalCon会议工作繁重，只有通过大家的努力，才有可能实现完成。请您们参加亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组，分享您们的看法和经验、志愿献出您们的时间、或者是自我提名或提名他人来负起遴选工作组的任务。
亚太DrupalCon会议组织者将较后宣布呼吁民众对第一届亚太DrupalCon会议的地点，提出建议及加以研究。我们也注意到要花很多的时间去调查研究各地点。亚太DrupalCon会议组织者遴选小组只能严格地考虑各地点，必须具有适合的会议地点、日期、会议管理公司、财政估算、可能参加会议人士以及有激励的当地小组成员，共同配合起来。
不过，首先须有尽多的亚太Drupal社群共同参与涉入。您们可以通过翻译及另外登载此通告在其他亚太Drupal使用者及社群有机会看到的网址。请勿忘了去 注意亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组的任何翻译及转载，以便我们能够观察到进展情况，同时大家也能相互分享交流译文。
mysql has gone away issue...
I've encounter some strange issue with a update cache_update sql which caused the mysql connection link to be disconnected.
But when i execute it in my mysql query analyser, it seems to be okay...
I'm not sure why it happen in drupal, but it seems to the 250th++ query it is executing via the same connection.
It seems to disconnect very often after that...
What i did was that, i do a mysql_ping before executing any queries...
But i'm concern if the disconnected connection query is successful or not.
Anyone got any idea?
btw, here was my fix, for those who encounter similar issue:
Drupal Excessive SQL Queries...
On my site, i've installed several modules which leads to about:
+ 250+ queries on admin page
+ 160+ queries on every other page accessed , including frontpage.
I'm amazed by the number of queries it used up...
Thats why the site seems to be quite slow...
Anyone have any suggestion?
I know i need to trim down on my modules, but i think some of the large number of queries are from drupal core itself...
DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organizers Invite You to Participate
We are excited to announce the DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organisers group. DCAPO intends to lay foundations that will facilitate international Drupal Conferences (DrupalCons) in the Asia-Pacific region.
DCAPO welcomes and needs input and assistance from Drupal users and communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. DrupalCons are a lot of work, and are only possible through the community's effort. Please join the DCAPO group to share your opinions and experience, volunteer your time, or nominate yourself or others for roles on the selection team.
DCAPO will later announce a call to the community to suggest and research locations for the first Asia-Pacific DrupalCon. Note that a lot of work goes into researching locations. The DCAPO selection team will only be able to seriously consider locations with suitable venues, dates and event management companies, financial estimates, potential audience and motivated local teams.
But first, as much of the Asia-Pacific Drupal community as possible needs to get involved. You can help by translating and reposting this announcement on other websites where Asia-Pacific Drupal users and communities are likely to find it. Don't forget to note any translations and reposts in the DCAPO group so that we can track progress and share translations with each other.
drupal custom url / menu permission
If you ever one to have a url which is accessible by anyone,
you may either make a function to return true,
or you may set 'access callback' => '1'...
If it doesn't work, try go to administration > performance > resetting the cache.
The cache is always there, even with cache is off.
Drupal access stages
Drupal is built with permission sets in mind.
User may have 1 or more roles.
Content may be limited based on content type, or up to single node level (1record).
When a user is viewing a node / page,
user will have to pass through access "access content".
Next, node may be limited based on content type in:
hook_access
The type of access names can be declared in:
hook_perm
To overwrite permission, you may edit hook_access within the same node module,
or use hook_nodeapi
stages:
* check for "access content"
* trigger nodeapi.op = "load"
Drupal Logging
Since drupal 6, they have replaced watchdog logging with dblog.
We are open sourcing one of our library for you to easily log onto the database log "watchdog" table.

<br/>I am pleased to announce that the next large gathering of Drupalers will be held in Sydney, Australia from May 18th - 22nd 2008 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Center Darling Harbor in conjunction with the Open CeBIT expo and conference. We're inviting people from all over the region - and that means you!
The Drupal Asia Pacific Conference is a major event to gather Drupalers to learn, discuss and advance Drupal. It is also a great opportunity to network with other community members that operate in the Asia Pacific region and who may not be able to attend community events on the other side of the world.
The conference will feature dual tracks over 3 days and a single theatre over a day and half that will also be open to the broader Open CeBIT audience. We are partnering with the Joomla community to host a website building contest which will be prominently highlighted at the OpenCeBIT Conference. All attendees will be provided free entry to the CeBIT expo (20th - 22nd) and offered discounted tickets to the Open CeBIT conference. We will also be hosting a booth as part of the CeBIT Exhibition to educate and promote Drupal to businesses, government, and individual attendees of the exhibition.
