triDUG

My lesson for the weekend is to remember to never point two Drupal instances at the same database using the same credentials, etc. Weird bad things happen that take hours and hours to figure out.

Yes, I did this. Even better, I did it with two different versions of Drupal 6, so the error messages were even weirder. Oy. That's several hours of my life I could have spent better. :-)

The takeaway lesson: When you are done messing about in a sandbox install of Drupal, make sure to completely dismantle it.

OK, for some reason, the configure 'thing' (someone give me a better word) that appears when logged in as an admin when you hover over certain objects is taking over. The block for the configure is overlapping content I need to click on! Specifically Panels.

When I say configure, let me clarify that the link will look something like this:
mysite.com/admin/build/block/configure/...

I need to find a new text editor. I have used UltraEdit for a while now and it works well on my desktop, but I cannot get it to work on my laptop (license issues). Oh yeah, and I pay for it!

So what are some good FREE text editors (for Windows, not Mac) just for doing basic functions involved in building a site using Drupal.

I have a strange warning message that pops up when I submit nodes with images. I'm fairly certain it's a bug with Filefield. I thought it was this one http://drupal.org/node/311526, but they claim it's been fixed. Regardless, it's simply a warning, and doesn't break things.

Question: How can I suppress this message programatically? I know, I know. This is a HORRIBLE thing to do, but I'm busy and I need it to disappear now as opposed to me spending days tracking down the error. Is there some sort of preprocess function that I can use to delete a warning message? Thanks.

I don't know if my title is really descriptive of what I am trying to say here.

1. Used CCK to crate node type called Announcement
2. Used Views2 to create panel for front page which lists these Announcements
3. I want a user to be able to subscribe (or be notified via email) to any new content of type Announcement

Ideas? I'm guessing there will be many modules involved here.
Here are modules I have installed which could be of use (I figure it's a matter of me not knowing how to use them):
Mime Mail, Simplenews.

There where a lot of questions on multi-site Drupal during the Q&A portion of our last meeting so I thought I'd post some of my thoughts on the subject.

If anyone has other questions or differing opinions on the topic I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I have successfully linked my drupal user profile with my Facebook account. Yet when I take the following path:

Log in > My Account > Facebook Connect

I am presented with this message:

"Your account is not linked with a Facebook account or you are not authorized to edit the Facebook connect settings of this account."

I have logged in as other users who have not used this feature (i.e. they may wish to connect their drupal user account with their facebook account eventually) and get the same message.
