Technical difficulties update: lost pages

Drupalace — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:52:56 -0700

Wow. This site truly is cursed. I have troubles here that I just don't have on any other sites I build. I suppose it's a combination of this being one of my earlier endeavors, as well as a guinea pig for all kinds of experiments. Oh, and I think the database's server once held a digital copy of the Nekronomicon.

Many recent nodes disappeared from the site. I have no explanation yet; I had not imported content or otherwise hacked the database, yet the nodes just aren't there.

New EDAM pages: Placing Content on Pages

Drupalace — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Got a couple new Easy Drupal Admin Manual pages online, under the heading Placing Content on Pages. As with other pages, it's too basic to be of much use to experienced Drupaltons, but may be helpful for some brand-new beginners.

Also doing a little rearrangement of some other pages. (Ah, the beauty of a CMS here: I can shuffle Book pages around, and not have to worry about the internal links. Thank you, blue drop-headed one.)

Oof! Hit by bad_httpd_conf error

Sorry to would-be readers who saw Site Temporarily Unavailable error id: "bad_httpd_conf" for an inderminate number of hours. "Now what?", I wailed...

Fortunately, this was easy to fix. It's not a Drupal thing (whew!), as spidersilk points out here. It's a glitch chez Dreamhost, which the ISP addresses in their support wiki. Calling up and re-setting my domain hosting settings fixed things within minutes.

Announcing the Drupalace.com Drupal Admin Manual!

Whew! It's up!

About a year ago, I wrote a Book of how-to pages as a beginner's site admin manual, which I used to get clients up and running. I've now relocated the Book here, for your edification and amusement as well. (Not a mean task; read more here.)

Gathering up the questions: the Drupal Ace Question Bank

Drupalace — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 20:27:27 -0800

I've started gathering up my many Drupal questions, whether from this site, from the Drupal.org forums, or elsewhere, into a single list. I hope that this will be of use to Drupalites – especially the hapless one that needs help the most, me.

I'd like this to become true Q&A, though it's starting with lots of Q and little A. Many of my questions remained unanswered. If you can help out with those, the many blessings of the Drop-Headed One will be upon you. In any case, I have many, many questions still to input, so please check in often.
