Creating a permanent 301 redirect for an account at Comcast Home is way more difficult than it ought to be.

UPDATE. As in, conclusion: it can't be done. That is unethical web hosting.

Of course, they probably don't want you leaving their pathetic services for a real web site host, let alone with a content management system and open source free software.

Log in. Going to http://home.comcast.net will at least get you to a screen for this.

drupal 4.7 add fields to node type

How to Add CCK Fields to Any Drupal 4.7x Node Type
http://www.mikecantelon.com/?q=node/46

http://api.drupal.org/api/group/hooks/4.7

Perform alterations before a form is rendered. One popular use of this hook is to add form elements to the node form.

New fields to existing types? (4.7)
http://drupal.org/node/67103

Turns out, the Answer:
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/nodeapi_example_nodeapi/4.7

Or, the more custom work you do, the more ways broken things can be your fault.

views_build_view and theming views

It turns out that the reason view was not working - not showing up at all - when call through views_build_view had nothing to do with the custom call. The view isn't showing up when displayed as a list, period.

I removed two fields -- CCK fields that I don't think apply to video module -- but it still isn't working, yet.

Ahh. I had views template exported and modified in template.php that was screwing things up. It only affects list themes. Here's my broken version:

Old way:


/******************************************************************************
* The following _set functions save information to the cmt_term tables and
* subsequently to votingapi if appropriate. These function names are based
* on the table names.
*
* They are currently written for clarity over efficiency.
*/

/**
* Saves a community-managed term's description and updates votingAPI.
*
* First it checks to make sure the description doesn't already exist for
* this term (as unlikely as that might be), and if it does, uses that

Not like I've made this mistake so many times it got into a commit message of mine... when I fixed it in four places!

cvs commit -m "array declarations cannot have semicolons inside them. Commas, not semicolons!"

See, semicolon at the end, not after each element:

      $pid = array(
        'value' => $pid,
        'field' => 'pid',
      );

Ok, maybe now I'll remember.

return drupal_set_message("Chutzpah and wishful thinking ahead.", 'error');

All right, Agaric hopes to write a guide to not just displaying error messages but doing it all an a way sensible to a programmer.

Questions:

• How do you show a database SQL statement exactly in the form it ran to result in the error? I know I've seen these on my screen... how did I do it?!

There is no drupal "set_error" in Drupal 5: There is drupal_set_message and the second parameter can be error.

The Drupal Pro Development book says:

[1:56pm] agaric: SQL question... a select statement WHERE clause on a longtext column is legal, correct? Even though only a prefix can be indexed?

[1:58pm] merlinofchaos: agaric: It's legal, it'll just be a slower query
[1:58pm] agaric: thanks-- shouldn't be overly common.
