update

Hi Chris,

Love the DRUSH tool!

I have been using it as much as I can and each time am finding new things and ways to take advantage of it.

I have a question - concerning the update and updatecode functions. I didn't see any detailed docs on recommended usage on this and was wondering if you or anyone else that is more knowledgeable on it, could show us the proper way to use these functions?

For example do we put the site in maintenance mode, disable modules prior to update, etc.

Thanks so much!

Tim

Hi Everyone.

I have asked this earlier on forums as well, but didn't get any response.

Upgrading a website with around 200k nodes from Drupal 5.20 to 6.14

I read the drupal upgrade guide and i have tried with a test database.

But, the upgrade process doesn't complete. There are always some errors.

Also, should be upgrade happen in just one go, or it can be performed in different sub-sections.

Last time i ran update.php file, it was with url >> /update.php?op=start&id=7 which tells that it was seventh time. I guess this shouldn't cause any trouble ?

I was not sure where to post this question. Appologies if this is not the correct place.

I've been looking at PressFlow and it looks nice that it already comes packaged with several performance related patches. Thanks to those who made it available.

However, compared to latest Drupal snapshot, it seems to be missing latest Drupal core patches. If this happens with minor fixes it's ok, but it seems it could also happen with security related issues?

Alright, after much mucking about with licensing issues and contacting library owners and further code merging and committing, it looks like we are back on track. Late night hacking has resulted in the following features:

• An administration page where you can log into a Google Account via AuthSub
• A testing query page where you can see what data Analytics will send back

This is a re-write of my drupal.org forum post at http://drupal.org/node/424154 . I figure it would be better discussed here.

How do I get configuration updates out to "pre-configured" sites? I'm currently using install profiles to "pre-configure" drupal sites, but they offer no way to "update" the profile on an existing site when a new version is released.

We are using Drupal at a University and are using a multi-site setup. When it comes time to update modules, I'm guessing we would have to run update.php on each site of the multi-site install. Is it possible to update modules in multi-site setup without having to go to update.php for each site?

I'm not sure if the e-commerce module is affected by this change/update but we just received this email the other day about some major changes on how Authorize.net is handling transaction id's. Not sure if a patch needs to be created or not.

In early October, Authorize.Net will be expanding the range of Transaction IDs issued by the payment gateway. Please read this e-mail thoroughly as it contains important information on how to ensure that your account is not affected.

I have a custom module I inherited that implements its own CCK widgets to import videos, and the widget stores multiple columns in the database, but to the user, it all seems like one field.

I recently decided we needed to add a column to refer to the thumbnail, so I edited my 'database columns' operation in the hook_field_settings() function, and added a line in the hook_field() function, along with the logic I needed to fetch, display and validate the data.

I've spent a few hours this past week cleaning up the module and made new tarballs, it still needs some testing but I will probably try it on a production domain tonight. The main change is really that the code is more tidy and only uses session keys rather than autologin cookies, but the update also makes it possible to access Drupal's user profiles. I think it's also good enough to start the work on Drupal 6.x. Some of SpectralDart's work will have to be redone, but the clean up was worth it.

Here is what has changed:

Hello all,

I have Drupal 5.3+phpbb2.0.22 integrated using phpbb5x-1.1 module,

I seem to have an interesting problem: when editing user profile, I can successfully update such fields as user_from, user_icq, etc. both in the drupal users table and in the phpbb users table. On the otherr hand, when I want to disable notifications about new posts on the forum -- "disable notifications" unclicked in the profile -- the change is happening only in drupal_profile_values table and not in phpbb_users table.
