When the number of Drupal powered sites you maintain grows larger, patching all of them when a minor release comes out can be a pain. The pain can even get bigger if you can interact with your hosted files only via FTP.

That's where Drupair comes in handy: just choose from the dropdown menu the version you want to upgrade from and you will get a tar.gz archive to get your Drupal installation up to date within the major release of your choice.

Can anyone give me some direction as to how to troubleshoot this problem? Even if I write the links into the global config section of themes as admin, it doesn't register on the page. This is a sudden change after a years worth of activity. It is also very troubling.

Hey all-

Been using drupal for the past year now and I have changed my primary links and secondary links a few times as I slowly develop the site.

Today, i tried to change the links, revised them in the global config section of themes and saved the changes. only problem was, nothing changed. I was the admin, the original all powerful version. Any troubleshooting ideas.

I'm using 4.5.2 (I know, I'm upgrading)

Thank

Hi,

I have marked this for Drupal 4.5 or older and 4.6, but this should probably hold for Drupal 4.7 as well, as I haven't noticed any discussions about this yet, to indicate that this is indeed being worked on. Both of these are serious usability issues that need attention, and I will do the grunt work if someone else can do the decision work and get some implementation ideas for it, as I am not a good enough coder to figure that out :-)

TabIndex is very important for blind people to use the Internet. I have noticed this to a great extend in my website created for a blind person at www.eagleeyes.co.za, which is a Drupal based site. It is, however, not functioning as required with Tab Indices as I would have to patch the whole Drupal distro to do this. My feeling is that EACH AND EVERY link should have a tabindex attribute added, even those generated by modules. The how of it all didn't exactly go through my head yet as this is a complicated process, especially to keep track of the indices allocated to each and every link.

The second important thing that has been discussed before is the use of title attributes for tooltips. There are some who say that not every link should have a title attribute, and those who dislike any tooltips, and then there are those who feel that a title attribute is needed with EVERY link. I am of the latter group, because a lot of screen readers make use of the title tags to read the text of a link. I also make use of this at www.eagleeyes.co.za (see the navigation bar). I believe it is imperative that we start a discussion about this, and work out a strategy for implementing such a wide change in Drupal.

Hi,

I noticed that the function valid_input_data() disappeared when moving from 4.5.5 to 4.5.6. I was using this in a module I have written myself. The only solution I have found so far was to remove these calls. As I do not see anything on this on the support pages, what do I have to think of when I remove these validation calls? Do I have to add the validation somewhere else?

I'm seeing a weird error since I upgraded our production site to 4.5.6 yesterday.

When browsing Forum topics using the "next topic" and "previous topic" links, after advancing a few times through the forum, I'll get an error:

Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in /srv/www/lliurex/http/drupal-4.5.6/modules/filter.module on line 1023

Is this a known bug I should file, or did I do something wrong when upgrading? Any help is greatly appreciated.
