Drupal Aggregator

The default Aggregator Drupal module does not work very well. There are several problems with the Drupal Core module, one of which we have not fixed in our version (i.e. the flatness of the item table.)

There is a list of the known issues and our comments and whether we fixed the problem:

Problem Solution in m2osw's version of Aggregator
Missing XML marker The <?xml ... ?> marker is missing from some RSS feeds, add it as required

jsMath Installation

Requirements

In order to use the jsMath for displaying mathematics with TeX Drupal 6.x module you need:

Upgrade from Table of Contents 2.x to 3.x

Make a Backup

DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE & CODE.

That way you can come back to your previous version if anything goes wrong. So far, no one told me that they had a problem upgrading. Although version 2.x did not have any schema, the new module may modify nodes and generate incompatible tags.

Show stopper

Version 3.x has a new theme() scheme. It is much more powerful has it allows you to create your own header numbering, etc. However, if you already had a theme() overload in your theme, it will stop working until fixed.

Please, in this case, make sure to upgrade on

Update to Drupal 6.15

In order to keep our Drupal installation secure, we quickly updated to version 6.15.

As far as we know, none of the security issues fixed by Drupal 6.15 would affect any one of our existing customers. Yet, we prefer to be at the top security wise and made the change very quickly, as usual. If you have any question or encounter any problem, let us know. This change was very smooth and did not require any database updates.

I also wanted to mentioned the arrival of our new Web 2.0 hosting system. We are still working on it, but very soon you will be able to jump on the bandwagon and get a ...

PostgreSQL and Drupal conflict

We have been running Drupal for some time now and we have noticed that it generates a very large amount of warnings in our log files.

The warning is in link with improperly formatted strings. PostgreSQL tries to follow the SQL specification to the letter and that means you cannot use the backslash character to escape special character sequences (such as \n for a newline character.)

I knew that in most cases the error was generated because of the function saving a full page or some other content in the cache. In that case, the system includes the characters: \012 and \015 (\n and \r.) That ...

odbcpp, a simple C++ library to access ODBC

Representation of an ODBC Database

odbcpp is a strong C++ wrapper for ODBC.

 

The ODBC library is an interesting concept created by Microsoft in 1988. It is a library that wraps the implementation details of database managers inside drivers. And these drivers are accessible from the library.

One of the main problem with accessing any database system, is the large number of ...
