Drupal 6 node.save uses different methods for saving taxonomy for different taxonomy types.

For multiple select based taxonomy:

(php)

$nodeObj->taxonomy = array(2=>array(15,19));

(python)

nodeOb['taxonomy']['2'] = [15,19]

For tags based taxonomy:

(php)

$nodeObj->taxonomy = array(
  'tags' => array(
         2=>'military,navy'
   )
);

There is an issue with Drupal 6 menu router rebuild which causes Drupal to time out with 404 pages or internal 500.

The following fix worked for me:

Install Drupal Tweaks, increase php memory, and mysql recommendations etc

Download the following patches:

From command line copy patches to your root drupal directory.

cd to your root drupal directory and then apply the patches. Each time you will be asked where the file is for the patch and the actual path to the files to be patched will be provided in the command line. Just copy and paste each file path as presented into the prompt.


cp *.patch /home/drupal_directory/
cd /home/drupal_directory/
patch < no-router-blob-317775-56-D6.patch
patch < lock-251792-163-D6.patch

So in the above text you can see it gives you the path ‘includes/bootstrap.inc’. Just copy and paste that to where it says ‘File to patch:’. For each file it will provide you the correct path to the file assuming you are in the drupal root directory.

The final thing to do is to cp the lock.inc file which is created to includes/

Drupal does not show the correct $node->path when a user is not authenticated in some drupal pages.

Drupal has some interesting Multisite configuration opportunities.

You can set up multi site installs for same code base, different sub directories, or different sub domains.

You can set up multi domains off the same code base.

You can use the same database with different prefixes. You can use the same database with some tables shared, and some tables separate prefixes. You can also use different databases.

Here is a config for Multi-Site, Single Codebase, Shared Database, Shared Sign-on for Drupal 5.x

Here is a multi site, shared database single sign-on module.

Here is the Drupal Multisite Group. One of the key differences between WordPress Multi User and Drupal Multi Sites is additional folders need to be added for Drupal. Also if you’re doing new domains you must start a fresh install.

If you have a multi-site sub-folder install you can simply use the multisite manager.

Cashmere Plus is a Drupal Ubercart store.

Ubercart is now in release candidate status.
