Drupal 4.5

circeus's picture

Okay I've upgraded the site to Drupal 4.5. I'll need to go over and check out everything that its got that's new. First thing I noticed and added right off was the browse archives calendar which you will see to the right.

People should look over:

http://drupal.org/project/releases

And let me know if there are any modules you'd like to see at the site here.

Same for me.

I'm getting those two error messages. I either get one or the other.<br><hr>
The Terrific Wired Tech Know - 31.1 Electrical Blaster / Devices / Medicine
R Tech 21.2 Ice/Empathy Controller

Gallery Problems

I am also having problems accessing the images in the gallery, as a matter of fact, I can't even get into the gallery.

When I tried to access the gallery, or click on the Random Image, I get:

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

Whether I try to click the image or the caption below it, it's the same thing.

Am I doing something wrong?

Only one thing

We no longer have the option of previewing our posts to the forums. Any chance on getting this back? I rather liked it as I am smiley challenged.

Can't think of any.

Some I don't even understand. Others I don't see a need for. I can always look again. eg. The site currently looks so good I can't think of a way to improve it. Minus the image errors of course.<br><hr>

Yes, I looked at the image in

Yes, I looked at the image in question (I can see what you tried to access -- god bless logs).

Here's the thing. This is the bug. I removed alternate resolutions, but its trying to display a NULL'd alternate resolution basically and failing miserably.

So to get around this just click the "original image" link under the image/comment and it should appear just fine.

BTW after more investigation

BTW after more investigation the memory issue itself is not the only problem.

It turns out that even when you try to disable the image manipulation elements in the new image module like I have (by just clearing the values) that it still tries to make a resized version of the image even though it should not.

I have logged a bug against Drupal on this.

Okay in addition I'm turning

Okay in addition I'm turning on the built in Drupal Search -- I want to compare it to Yahoo and see which I like better. It won't be usable until the top of the hour when the cron job for drupal runs (a cron job is a sysadmin scheduled program run for the non-sysadmins out there).

So some time after 7pm EST try them both out and compare and let me know.

Okay working with the hosting

Okay working with the hosting service on the memory issue. As I figured our process memory is limited and gd2 (used by the gallery) is banging on that limit on certain images.

Some other things:

1) Dawn (TK) has recolored the logo background to match the top. She'll be looking at the logo when she gets a chance.

2) I changed the search from google to yahoo. I just really didn't feel we got enough hits from the google search. Google is great for newsgroups, but I've always found its web searching to be lacking.

3) Ditched the Warcry feed in favor of putting up a feed for the main coh site. I figure other sites will be wondering how I finagled that to work, but let them ask. It is just basically clever HTML/PHP trickery.

Anything else anyone wants looked at?

What about modules for drupal???

Yeah like I said in the other

Yeah like I said in the other post they did some things that I'm not very fond of to the image module.

It now has a non-optional "feature" to convert images. So that all pages display uniformly at 640x480. Its very frustrating that its not optional.

The memory thing may be a hosting issue and I'll put that in to their support.

Problem with images

Access denied when trying to access images.

I looked and couldn't see any access rights problems in the Drupal configuration. Maybe a GD2 problem? Or a file permission problem?

***EDIT***
If you click on one of the random images, you get a

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3840 bytes) in /home2/netmarks/net-marks-www/avatarsofjustice/modules/image/image.inc on line 519
