Problem

Unable to set up robust test environment on Mac OS X (ibook G4, MAMP)

Two and a half wasted hours trying to set up a test environment so I could develop offline.

Couldn't import the database file:

SQL query:

/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `access` DISABLE KEYS */;

MySQL said: Documentation
#1065 - Query was empty

Don't get that at all.

Couldn't get NetInfo manager to make wsf2008.site point to anything MAMP could recognize.

No more trying to work without the internet.

DAMN!

i18nmenu too many calls to refresh cache?

There is no reason for i18nmenu to be doing this. Is there?

taxonomy_term_count_nodes() flakes out: empty white screen when term has itself as parent

So yeah, that's pretty much it. Agaric's place module (place_taxonomy to be precise) has a custom page to display all countries with the number of actions and other content posted in them (yes, we will replace this with views eventually).

Somehow (Taxonomy_manager? Places_taxonomy's own save?) the term "Milano" got itself as a parent. The result: taxonomy_term_count_nodes() flakes out and causes the custom /countries page to display an absolutely empty white screen, no error messages anywhere.

Calendar date foreach() issue for preceding non-date arguments

Fixed in dev version

This was something that used to work and got broken as the Calendar acquired more features. I just committed a fix to the dev version of the module that should make it possible to use a non-calendar argument in front of calendar arguments, which will let you dynamically filter the calendar by whatever that argument is.

Remember return $variables line in function _phptemplate_variables

So, it turns out that in your _phptemplate_variables($hook, $variables = array()) function in template.php, the return $variables line is very, very important.

As in your site self-destructs if you don't have it or accidentally comment it out.

Another helpful tip from Agaric Design Collective!

(And no, we don't learn these the hard way. Angels descend from heaven and whisper Drupal truths in our ears, complete with error output.)

Last minute errors (Agaric overzealous cleaning crew)

1-in action space menu there should be an item visible to insiders and outsiders "overview " giving a list of elements in action space wiht their nature (the title and nature and date and number of comments)- it is still very confusing when looking

2-i have been trying to create content (other than actionsà in action spaces -NOTHING WORKS EXCEPT IMAGES
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wsf_action_autofill_places_from_group() in /var/www/d53/sites/wsf2008.net/modules/wsf_action/wsf_action.module on line 56

Epilogue: Drupal too powerful to show potential clients

Yesterday I demo'd a bare Drupal install, because it was the only one I felt like messing around in, and the potential client was really pushing for a demo to show him the back-end. Drupal doesn't really have a backend, most all of what you want to do . Not having his full requirements, let alone a site built to them, I showed off the parts of Drupal we use to actually build sites– you enable a module and get new functionality, here's how you create a new content type in CCK, etc.

Drush stopped installing modules. Needed -l link to site.

End of a Saga: the locale_refresh_cache bug was in location_views

Here's the patch.

Removal of three characters.

Took Agaric longer than it should have to find. But we were observing the legitimate spike in caching caused by locale being enabled with a bunch of languages, and didn't realize (as we went through the whole module disabling thing) that the super-magnifier of triggering all the caching was in fact turned off with the location_views module being removed from the Drupal bootstrap process.
