Drupal Reports Workgroup

The purpose behind this semi-private group is the coordination of bug reports involving some aspect of a Drupal install. Current customers with a Drupal install, or partners with Design Works Internet, should join this group so as to be informed about patches and updates as they occur. This is also the venue where bug reports found within such installs should be reported.

While this group is shown in our registration form and directory, we do screen those wishing to join. This is for security reasons as discussion here could reveal vulnerabilities within sites before they can be corrected. For the same reason, new group topic posts will be moderated (hidden) until it is considered safe for them to be seen by others.

Drupal Patches Feb 15 2009

Sun, 2009-02-15 12:22 — Irene Kraus

A number of patches for all Drupal installs occured today, involving the organic groups (OG) system, birthdays, print, and webforms. I had delayed the install of these patches for a few days, as I had thought the final release for the FCKeditor would be out by now. That appears to have been delayed. If duplicate notifications are still occuring on any install or if other bugs should be noticed, please submit bug reports to the dedicated work group.

Known bug - Drupal Pages failing W3C Validation tests

Fri, 2009-02-06 01:08 — Irene Kraus

Should also mention this one, as there are a few issues within the currently in use *Drupal 5 system* that are causing Validation Tests conducted by W3C [1] to fail. I hope these issues will be corrected in the soon to come update to *Drupal 6,* as I have found lots of discussion on /Drupal's Support site/ about the issue. If that should not produce a fix, then I will have to investigate how to do a manual fix of my own. Mentioned here only to document that this is a known issue at this time.

Odd shadow appearing below 5-Star ratings in content

Fri, 2009-02-06 01:01 — Irene Kraus

Just noticed this one after the updates performed on February 5, 2009, so fear they may be related. There is an odd shadow appearing just below the 5-Star rating within content where this has been generated. (See screen shot) I have documented this and reported it on *Drupal's support site* [1]. Not a biggie, but certainly something odd! [1] http://drupal.org/node/370052

Pending Drupal Patches 5 February 2009

Thu, 2009-02-05 22:00 — Irene Kraus

The OG (Organic Groups) system in use on this site is about to undergo a major revision, however this has been delayed as a number of subsidiary modules must also be updated. As this site is the only one currently using that system, that will be all that will be said on that subject here.

Drupal Patches Feb 5 2009

Thu, 2009-02-05 21:39 — Irene Kraus

A number of add-on modules used within Drupal installs were patched to day. These being: Admin Menu, Moderation System, Print & E-mail, and User Stats. Issues with the Notification System documented in the Bug Reports Workgroup are still ongoing. I encourage anyone getting unwanted notices to report such issues to me, and/or resort to turning notifications and subscriptions off until this matter is resolved.

Toggle of Promotion status generates unwanted notifications

Wed, 2009-02-04 17:56 — Irene Kraus

When a node has its *promoted *status changed, an unwanted notification is generated. Unclear at this point if this is supposed to be a feature. (IMO, notifications should only be generated when new content is created, or an existing one is editted.) Have not checked, but fear toggle for change to *sticky* status may cause same issue. Report filed with developer: http://drupal.org/node/369349

Final RC for Editor patch!

Sat, 2009-01-24 15:23 — Irene Kraus

A minor patch version, which should be the final RC (release candidate) for the editor in use on all installs was executed today. There were a number of bug-fixes included in this one that I had noticed, but - so far - had not been reported here. More on this can be read here. Offical full version on that should be out within a week, assuming no major bugs turn up!

Thu, 2009-01-22 14:45 — Irene Kraus

Bug-fix patches for both the Administration menu (visible only to those in that role) and the Print, e-mail, and PDF generation modules were carried out today. Some new capabilities added to the Print, e-mail, and PDF generation module, whereby blocks for Most printed, Most e-mailed and Most PDFd can now be defined.

Drupal Core 5.15 update

Tue, 2009-01-20 18:05 — Irene Kraus

Due to multiple vulnerablities detected in the core system of Drupal, a bug-fix install was carried out on all installs on Sunday, January 18, 2009. As per usual, complete backups were made to all installations prior to the upgrade. Thus far, no issues have been reported with module conflicts, etc.
