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:

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...

Has anyone setup a Drupal commerce site with the Ubercart and use Hong Kong post as a shipping method?

I'm interested in hearing your experience if so.

It doesn't appear that there is a Hong Kong post shipping sub-module.

We are going to use Paypal as the payment gateway and want to be able to plug in shipping confirmation and tracking number information.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I am trying to find a way that not using images to make rounded corners for IE. and i have found the javascript which works quite ok but i have no idea how to use that with drupal.

So, 1) is there a better way to do that?
2) or how can i use the script for drupal for IE only??

many thanks.

I want to create a Supervisor role who has the rights to create other users for the site. But if I gave "administer users" rights to Supervisor, I found that he will be able to block me (the admin) out. What's more, this Supervisor will not be able to assign the newly created users to the predefined roles unless I also gave him the "administer permissions" rights. And with that rights, he can practically do anything he wants, which of course, is not what we want.

Any comments?

Thanks

Folks, we had been talking about setting up a sandbox environment since forever! With the new developments in D6 and D7, isn't this a good opportunity for us to get a free hosting space, set up a tutorial space and a testing / sandbox space... etc?!

Let's think of a good domain name! Here are some suggestions:

hkdug.org
hkdug.com
hkdrupal.com
hkdrupalug.com

Posted this on the RSS & Aggregation group, cross posting here to see if some of you can help.

Basically, I'm trying to streamline a process, so I can tag and comment of my photos in Picasa, upload to Flickr, have them pulled back down onto my Drupal blog, then I pick some and group them together into a blog entry.

This is how far I've gotten:

What is the proper way to do a minor release upgrade, say from 6.12 to 6.13? My current drupal was installed under /drupal-6.12. Should I unzip the package to /drupal-6.13, then copy all the files under /drupal-6.12/sites to the new directory, change the domain to point to the new drupal root, and then run update.php? Or should I unzip over the current /drupal-6.12 directory and overwrite all the files there.

Thanks!

I've just realized that this group existed.

I couldn't make it to Barcamp 2009 yesterday, so I'm wondering when the next HK DUG meeting is going to take place.

Is there a regular schedule and location? I couldn't find it anywhere on the group.

If you think the hk drupal meet up isn’t frequent enough (I am not criticizing ;-)) or seems pretty advance for you (for me anyway) or not quite your subjects (sometimes) or prefer Cantonese speakers meet up, then read on….. ….

First of all, I just want to know is there anyone reading this forum often and do want to get together more frequently to learn, but for other reasons or any of the reasons above that u can’t.

I am not sure how would this work out, so ;
1. Open to suggestions, perhaps someone who has setup some meet up group before.
