Support questions

we have a LIVE website, with active (recurring) paid subscribers...
every month - they get charged on their credit card through paypal.

(so far - all good)

now - while creating the next version, updates, etc -
on DEV - we migrated all live user info and started working with it
(ouch)
and then - all our paid subscribers - got a false message - that their credit card cannot be charged!

my question is -
moving forward, as we are going to have automatic notification on content added, newsletters, recurring payment, etc.

is there any safe method / workflow -

So I was able piece enough from handbook pages and short videos and did commit a theme. And I did create a Drupal 7 branch and tag but what I committed is jacked and I'm sort of at a loss on how to fix it. And I have updates to my Drupal 6 release but the commits don't seem to be updating. Here is what I have in CVS: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/themes/ishalist/.

I opened IE to see how my site looked in it, and tried to login as admin. Nothing. The login form just sits there staring at me. So I re-opened Firefox and tried to login as admin and same thing!

So I deleted all cookies, cache, etc, for both Firefox and IE, and still the same problem!

So then i went to another computer that had never been used for anything before, fresh install of Windows, and same problem!

What gives?

Hi,

I created a site with Italian content but some characters are showing up as question marks (please see attachment). I already changed the meta tag to but that doesn't help, the encoding is still UTF-8 and I need to manually change it to ISO-8859 in the browser's encoding setting for words to show up correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate any advice/hint/help. Thank you.

There are lots of ways to create a nice homepage using your theme (page-front.tpl.php) or using modules like views, panels or front page (http://drupal.org/project/front).

My question is what kind of techniques do you tend to use for a rich homepage on a larger site? Is it all custom php in the theme or a combination of modules & custom php? Blogs and portfolio sites don't require much customization for an effective homepage, but what about sites that have a richer homepage that shows off the content of the site?

Hi there,

I have a post on main Drupal site (http://drupal.org/node/432580) but since no one has responded, I thought I'd also see if any locals could lend a hand.

I'm having trouble using the Embedded Media Field module. Everything seems to work fine with it, until I call for thumbnails in the block and page view -- the thumbs show up just fine, but I get this error message atop the page:

warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: WARNING: URL fopen access in .../sites/all/modules/emfield/contrib/video_cck/providers/vimeo.inc on line 219.

This seems to be a constant issue that I have never gotten a straight answer from.

I create a site in HTML/CSS, and convert it to Drupal.

I put "print $styles" in the head.

Then, the core system-menus.css cascades down and dumps bullet points and padding and other stuff and screws up my carefully designed menu.

So i always end up just using $directory to link directly to my stylesheet, but of course this then excludes important module CSS and so forth.

So how do I get it to exclude JUST the system-menus.css file?

Reviewing codes for cache functions in Drupal 5 core, I believe I have found some flaws in them.

Following is the section of cache_clear_all() in includes/cache.inc,

<?php

121: function cache_clear_all($cid = NULL, $table = NULL, $wildcard = FALSE) {
// ... ... ...

129: if (empty($cid)) {
130: if (variable_get('cache_lifetime', 0)) {
131: // We store the time in the current user's $user->cache variable which
132: // will be saved into the sessions table by sess_write(). We then

At the March meetup Mike gave a lightning fast lighting talk about how to keep the admin menu always appearing on top.

What was that trick again?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Any suggestions on a header width? I'm creating a blog site, don't have info re: user resolution settings and just want to something that will fit on most folks screens, yet at the same time doesn't look uber narrow for folks with higher res screens and/or big monitors.

I can't really go with a fluid/liquid design right now - I'm using Artisteer to create a quick design and it only does fixed width at the moment - or I'd have to edit CSS myself and not up to that (!)
