Hi friends,
please read the whole email before starting the work.

Now we have offline text files to translate the interface. I'm sending Judith the Portuguese file. Mathias, Leo, please tell me in which languages are you going to translate so I can send you the proper files (please reply to all so we know who's doing what).

As we talked before, we need to be very careful when dealing with this files (not to erase commas, quotes and #).

The basic structure of the files is the following:

: modules/nonon nonno ononon

If there is no matching row for the right table in the ON or USING part in a LEFT JOIN, a row with all columns set to NULL is used for the right table. You can use this fact to find rows in a table that have no counterpart in another table:

Is Drupal's default contact form page a tad too restrictive? Do you want to have more than comfortably fits in the little option to have some text above the contact form? Do you need even that text to be multilingual? Would you rather not try to do all this with form_alter and creative use of blocks? Why can't one simply embed the contact form in a page, or better yet as one element in a panel, you ask? Why, indeed. Agaric has no idea why. But Agaric can tell you how (with or without generous use of text emphasis, we're flexible).

Background:

Doing the World Social Forum site right now has brought up two questions for me:

First, is there a way to tell either the translation interface or a PO export to ignore all strings in /admin pages?

what does static caching mean in php?

That a variable is remembered when that instance of PHP next goes into the function holding the variable, and an instance is per-call, per-user, for a single page execution from the standpoint of a web app (simultaneous calls to PHP open different process threads).

static only applies for the life of the process

static variables are used to keep variable content between two function calls, not between two script executions, from what I can see in the manual and from how it behaves in C/++.

Reviewing patches and contributing bugfixes to Drupal core helps Agaric in three ways:

1. It helps Drupal, the software we build our websites with, get better.
2. It helps us become familiar with the code on a deep level, easily.
3. It is a key thing potential clients who 'get' open source will look for.

This note is just to let Kathryn and Veronica know this sort of direct giving back to the community should be built into our schedules.

You caused a conflict in your template.php

so the status on SVN was set to "C"

apparently that means the conflict only exists in that local checkout? Did you edit directly on the server?

Anyway, whatever happened, I do SVN update on my checkout of the repository, look at line 464

as the error message is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL on line 464

and everything is fine

but if I look at the file directly on the server, even though it is up to date (but giving that C flag)

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 842489 bytes) in /var/www/wsf2008/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 380

If you have control of your own host:

ben@server:~$ sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

/Resource Limits plus RETURN to search
i to edit

Normally these classes of entities or people (allegedly) are called domain name squatters and domain farmers.

Squatting and farming are honorable, worthy pursuits however, so we need other words. (Agaric considered "domain poachers" but there's something of an honorable tradition of poaching on the King's land.)

With apologies to thieves and leeches (and the terms for these particularly obvious capitalist parasites are henceforth domain thieves and domain leeches-- stealing other people's domains

tried uploading banner but got error "The selected file fstvbanner2.jpg can not be attached to this post, because the disk quota of 1 MB has been reached."

please make it so I can do this, remove all restrictions like this for my account

Resolution

In Drupal 5, go to:

Administer » Site Configuration » File Uploads
admin/settings/uploads

And set max uploads in general and per user role there:

Default maximum file size per upload: MB
The default maximum file size a user can upload.
