Please help with an odd problem
As some of you know I recently launched an iPhone application. Part of that application allows for updates to be displayed as a small icon over the large icon launches the application. This is very common among news applications.
To make this work there's a whole lot of internal communication that needs to happen with our website and some other services. I'm happy to report that all of it works, kinda.
Here is the problem that I'm experiencing and it is cron related.

Drupal 6.16 and the race conditions we talked about
For those who were at the meetup, there was a brief discussion about "race conditions" that were causing some problems for sites and manifesting as massive warnings about duplicate entries into various tables...
The good news is that it looks like 6.16 has the solution.
Bad news is that 6.16 is having trouble on PHP4.

Multiple forms on one page
Hello,
I have been struggling with a forms issue that I thought maybe someone could help answer for me.
Basically I am trying to have several drupal forms laid out in one page, with one "Save" button, which will save all of the forms on the page at once. Each form is already assumed to edit an existing node, so I do not need to worry about the case where the user is creating a new set of nodes from the forms on the page.

so close, but so far, with hook_preprocess_node()
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions at last night's meetup. I'm very close to a solving the problem I showed you. But I'm still missing a step (a function I think). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Recap of problem:
I'm calling hook_nodeapi() to re-arrange weights of things like this...
$node->content['video']['#weight'] = 0;
$node->content['map']['#weight'] = 1;
$node->content['pic']['#weight'] = 2;
$node->content['body']['#weight'] = 3; 
Mutli-site Install
I was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot a multi-site install on Dreamhost. As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right but when I go to the subdomain it never shows me the install screen for drupal, giving me instead a 404.
Here's the relevant info.
The main site is champsnotchumps.org at "localhost.champsnotchumps.org"
The site I'm trying to set up is at "dodson.champsnotchumps.org"
The first site is already up and I've set up a working domain for the second using Dreamhost's web panel.

Has anyone setup Ubercart to use rental products? I have set up attributes for number of months and number of machines. The calculation for total price is total price = (price * months * machines). Is it possible to do this using out-of-the box Ubercart?
