Mix site's blog posts with aggregator feed posts?

This is an actual, typical, client communication. We thought we could drop the veil of top-secret secrecy just this once. (Well actually this is a former client, asking for support without a support contract. Commercial propriety requires me to point out that if you're paying us, we provide solutions, not merely advice.)

Hey Ben,

Send a confirmation e-mail when a webform is submitted (Drupal 6)

Here's another Benjamin Melançon classic data dump, but the code at the bottom (based directly, as noted, on other's documentation and blog posts) is useful, at least to us.

First answer found, naturally, is the comment "A hacked working copy" in the forum post "How do I create confirmation emails for webforms"

Twitter clients for Ubuntu

Waiting on this...

Because Gwibber Microblogging Client and Twitux aren't working at all (for Ubuntu 9).

Am i missing something?

Downloading zipped tarballs of code from Gitorious

The place to download code for projects on Gitorious (as code, not as a clone of the repository) has proven difficult to find for several people, including myself.

For a project without tags and branches that you just want to download HEAD, the path looks like:

gitorious.org/projectname/repositoryname/archive-tarball/master

To find it, go to your project page and click for either the commit log or the source code tree of a repository, and it will add this link on the side for "Download master as tar.gz"

Lesser-known Drupal IRC channels

Also, quiet enough that i don't auto-join-- but good places to go for specific discussions on the given topics:

drupal-examples - discussion related to http://drupal.org/project/examples

drupal-commune - discussion related to http://agaric.com/blogs/drupal-work-collectives

drupal-bayarea - OK this isn't little-known but it's San Francisco, Oakland, etc.

Where are the error logs when you need them?

Apache will also log errors to:

syslog

Stefan notes: in case of panic you can try to grep -R in /var/log for PHP Fatal error

Benjamin Doherty says this is covered in the DGD7 environment chapter.

Druplicon is a Feature (Embedded Media Field Overlay Post)

A Drupal mask over thumbnails...
http://drupal.org/node/587562

"A strange bug with the last version, ie a span tag wich appears over thumbnails"

It's a slightly scary Druplicon.

AlexUA: "This is a feature, and you can disable it on the main Emfield configuration page."

By the way... the Problem this Update Fixed, and the Drupal Problem-solving Approach

Go to the page of the module that has the problem.

Emfield video thumbnails disappearing

This is incorrect

Just update to the latest version. See http://data.agaric.com/raw/druplicon-feature-embedded-media-field-overlay-post for the fun story behind it.

Emfield module must be configured to have a custom directory to store its thumbnails in, otherwise the thumbnails are put in sites/default/files as temporary files (status zero), and are cleared out when cron runs.

Using nmap

If not installed yet:
sudo apt-get install nmap

$ nmap sojourner.mayfirst.org
