Help - Drupal CMS messed up my clients web site
ebizguy23 - December 1, 2008 - 05:17
Looking for american based drupal CMS person. My client tried to edit his site using the drupal CMS and lost his flash, some pages, some pictures, hovers, and other features. I dont know what happened. His other web designer deserted him, so he called me, and I am looking for some help with this situation.
Drupal 7 is in development
You marked this for Drupal 7. Is your client using 5.x or 6.x? Version 7 is still in heavy development.

Checking version without logging in
Normally you can check the version like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/CHANGELOG.txt
Change "www.yoursite.com" of course.
Sounds like the client
Sounds like the client deleted/mangled some of their page's markup in their database. If they don't have the original markup then I would recommend they roll back the database to a later date. Their ability to do that depends on how well equipped their host is to do such a task. I would also check with the original developer to see if he has a copy of the database.
Be well,

be sure to check the page markup
Are you sure the html filter is on full html? You should check the source to make sure it's actually gone. I guess you don't have revisions turned on?
Check Google cache
If, as others have suggested, the client has deleted some of the HTML for the site you should check as soon as possible to see if Google cache has stored copies of the site's pages from before the erasure.
