    Tough one to Investigate

    I have heard and read stories such as this one before, and their common denominator is Drupal not addressing their sentiments substantively. Yours is a pretty complex one especially when you have your own preference of how the poll would look like. But I think, newer Drupal would in a way patch in the loopholes you've experienced earlier.

  • How to fix "Access Denied" for admins?   8 weeks 3 days ago
    do not not forget to check the sessions table

    same problem, different issue ! my sessions table was the problem. Check if you have no error message there and if so delete it and replace with a new one.I came accros this issue some weeks after moving to a new server. Drupal 5.

    Good info

    I found useful info here, thanks.

  • Review: Drupal 6 Ultimate Community Site Guide   12 weeks 1 day ago
    great to know...

    You are right, drupal is great and without a doubt my favourite CMS. had no idea that it won the best php open source CMS award. Thanks for the info

  • Introducing Forum Finds   13 weeks 1 day ago
    There's no module for that

    Uh, Drupal pretty much offers a module for everything... but not for that.

    (Note of marginal relevance to site-building: Strange to see obvious spam that doesn't even attempt to include a link. Or did the link simply get stripped out somehow? I wouldn't think so, as my typical incoming spam does manage to include a link or two...)

    Treatments that are effective herbal / natural

    Today when peeing I began the discovery of what I now know to be my first herpes outbreak. I don't want to be a drama queen, but I thought I was going to faint. What is the state of technology nowadays for a cure, or at least fast healing? Prevention? Is acyclovir or famcyclovir the only way to go?

  • Drupal and the Blogging Starter Checklist, Part 3   13 weeks 2 days ago
    Thanks for the checklist

    Thanks for the checklist anyways, with all your hardwork sharing your ideas in placing all the necessary thing into one for others to have simple access and less time into figuring out how to blog. A very heroic sense.

  • Working with Blocks   13 weeks 2 days ago
    Block won't show

    I followed all the instructions, but this one block I created will NOt show on the front page. I created another block that is showing just fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • How to fix "Access Denied" for admins?   13 weeks 3 days ago
    Faced the "Access Denied" for admins twice!

    I don't know, for all of you, but for me even after adding "$GLOBALS['tempUser'] = $user;" at the end of index.php file, nothing changed. The first time the problem occured, I recreated quickly the platform, thinking that I had done surely a bad administrative operation on the plateform. Then, the problem reappeared again, on that new one! Now I'm stuck!

    What's going on? I'm using Drupal commons, to build my platform! And even the cron task failed after enabling some modules related to the instant chat.... I'm going crazy!!! Help please...

  • Drupal for Beginners   13 weeks 4 days ago
    Great Blog

    I got a lot out of your post! I've been looking at drupal for several months, but no one has efficiently broken it down like you do. Right now, I'm plowing through the "definitive Guide to Drupal 7, which is an excellent book; but, I think Drupal needs more of what you've written. Other beginners guides are often mired in the technological view that a particular developer has adopted over time; people tend to forget what it was like to be a newbie. Again, great job!

  • Upgrading from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7: problems and solutions   15 weeks 3 days ago
    Great written article...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm planning on moving some of my sites to Drupal 7 and was going to do them over from scratch but your article showed me that it'll probably be easier just upgrading it. I'm ok with a little cruft to not take a week out of my life.

Drupal mini tip

Need to disable a Drupal module but can't do so from within the site? (This could happen if the wayward module is preventing you from reaching the Modules form!) Look for the module's entry within the "system" table of the site's database, and set the module's status to "0". 

(From within phpMyAdmin: Select the "system" table from the column of tables at left. Click the "Browse" tab. Find the row for the module you wish to disable, and click the "pencil" icon in that row. In the resulting form, input "0" for the Value of "status", and click the "Go" button. Done!)
