Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.A module with no name or description is showing up after the upgrade from 6.x-3.0-alpha2 to 6.x-3.0-alpha3. After checking the *.info files it appears it's the panels_page/panels_page.info file that is the empty / blank module. Comment in the file says "; empty file -- module no longer exists" so I'm assuming that the module is being removed and this should probably be removed?

cgillogly commentedOK. Just confirmed that the panels_page stuff is the blank module. I removed the directory and it disappeared out of my list. Should this have been removed? I didn't see it in the 6.x-3.0-alpha2 release.

merlinofchaos commentedI had put it there to *force* a removal of the module for people who just drop the new tarball in without deleting old files (It's a problem if you have an old panels_page.module still running). I did not realize that the .info file, empty, would create an error in the module stable. That is pretty dumb of Drupal.

fm commentedCan I delete the panels_page directory and it's contents? Or will that screw something up?
Comment #4
andrewmacpherson commentedthe .info file isn't actually empty... it contains the information added by the packaging script

pasquallethe empty panels_page module causes PHP notices:
notice: Undefined index: name in drupal-6.10\modules\system\system.admin.inc on line 779.
notice: Undefined index: name in drupal-6.10\modules\system\system.admin.inc on line 660.
A module with no name and description is showing up only if you use the Module filter module (or something similar?)
Comment #6
fm commentedI don't use the Modules filter and the module with no name or description is showing up. I am not receiving any of those php notices.
You may be experiencing a different problem.
