Best way to test live site without using Maintenance Mode?
Can anyone advise the best way to test a 'live' site without having to go into Maintenance Mode?
Basically I just want to ensure that it doesn't appear on search engines or get listed, and if there is something that is advised it needs to be something that won't be to the detriment of the site indexed/listed when I actually want it to.
For those that might be questioning why I want to do this without using MM is basically to test a Facebook login to see how it works and performs etc.
Thanks

Read moreD7 'Aggregate and Compress CSS Files' - live site losing styles???
Hi
Everytime I select 'Aggregate and Compress CSS Files' in D7 Performance settings on my live site I'm instantly losing my styles. However on my local machine this does not happen. Interestingly this only happens on my live site when I have my sub-theme of Bartik selected. If I use the default Bartik theme there is no issue. I've searched Google and found a plethora of possibilities but I still haven't found the solution. If anyone could advise it would greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Read moreAdvice on best way to serve Audio Files (MP3 etc) - Linux Box
Hi
I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice or experience with using small/short audio files in their websites?
I'm intending on placing the odd audio clip into a survey to test advertising effectiveness. The audio clip will be short, around 30 seconds and the survey might be hit by a 1000 users over the period (with the possibility of up to 300 users accessing the survey - and the resulting audio file - at anyone time (depending on when they hit the server).

Hi everyone
I've looked everywhere and cannot appear to find an answer to a problem I have and was hoping that someone might be able to advise.
To cut a long story short Profile2 permissions do not appear to be working properly whereby if you want a certain profile to exclude an authenticated user from being able to 'edit' the profile and only 'view' this is not possible (basically permissions only appear to work for Admin) - [for those that are interested please see http://drupal.org/node/1954290]
Read moreIs it possible to hide parts of a returning URL from the users address bar?
I'm not sure if I'm asking the impossible here but is it possible to hide part of a returning URL from a User's address bar to a Drupal site.
The reason I am asking is that I am firing a Rule on a user returning to a particular URL (which they will have been automatically redirected to from another non-Drupal website) which assigns them user points. Obviously I don't want people to cotton onto this URL that is firing the points Rule, otherwise they might tell other users to visit the pages to receive points hence the original question, is there a way to hide part of this URL?

Is it possible to pre-populate an empty field (of any type) with data?
I've been stuck on this issue all day now. Is there a way to pre-populate an 'empty' field of any type with data?
I've tried Rules, specifically 'Set a data value' but it does not appear to allow data values to be set on empty fields and usually reports back (in 'Recent Log Messages') 'The variable or parameter entity is empty'.
The reason I need this is that I have a 'profile type' (using Profile2) with various fields. These fields are updated - when required - using VBO (Views Bulk Operations) and unfortunately they can only be updated by VBO if the fields have existing content.
Read moreFilter views by comparing two fields?
Hi,
I have a content type with two date fields both with start and end dates..
I need to create a view filter that if the start date and time of fieldA is more than 15 minutes before or after the start date and time of FieldB then show it in the view..
Obviously views can compare dates to "now" or now relative to a time period but I can't see a way for views to filter based on the comparison of the value of two fields..
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks..
Read moreHow can I easily and frequently distribute links to URL's so only selected users can view the link?
I have a site where I need to frequently send URL links to select users at any given time. These links are to surveys, so essentially the survey link at the time can only be passed to users that fit/screen to the requirement.
At the moment I have a View where I can easily screen the users using exposed filters but cannot work out how to send these users the specific URL link? Additionally, after any given time the URL link will become redundant so I then need to be able to remove the link for their View when this happens (I don't want them to see expired links).
