Drupal login problem with 6.17 and php 5.2
So I got home and tried login in again. Guess what the login was broke again. So was talking to Scott and he suggested to reverse all the changes. I went one step up and just untared a new version of drupal 6.17 over my installation and magically it worked again. Interesting... Why wasn't it working before? No clue... But the most important thing is it works now :)
Drupal 6.17 Login problems with PHP 5.2
So I upgraded to drupal 6.17 a week or so ago and guess what my hosting company decides to upgrade their PHP to 5.2. Ofcourse as you would know it my drupal instance decides to not work any more. I would try to login as an admin and get prompted right back. I searched for quite a while and finally found a combination that fixed it. I believe the following will fix:
Drupal 6.17
Php: 5.2.13
Add following at the very bottom of index.php:
drupal_page_footer();
$GLOBALS['tempUser'] = $user;
session_write_close();
Also following dirty patch for includes/session.inc
Django output pdf using reportlab
Today I implemented the pdf output of the CS outlines. I must say the reportlab was much easier to work with than the java based com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter. It only took me a few hours to completely reimplement the export to pdf's in python/django. I will post the code below for those interested in exporting to pdf using django.
jQuery – Table row highlight
My first task that I had set out to do was to replace this table row highlighter that was found from somewhere on the web to be using jquery instead. I found that this task to be extremely easy with jquery. The syntax are as follows:
First ofcourse download the jquery library from http://jquery.com/ and include it into your html.
Then do the following:
jQuery:
/*basically toggles the hoverHighlited class everytime the mouse enters the row */
$(function(){
$('tr#highlight_row').hover(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('hoverHighlighted')
});
});
css:
Update on my progress
As of now I am currently starting my research on my Masters Thesis so will be posting about that quite a bit as time goes on. I will be using C++ to implement an optimized bottom up cubing to use to determine emerging patterns. Emerging patterns are itemsets/patterns that show significant increase in support given two datasets. We will be using: DPminer: Which is an algorithm used to find key's, generators and closed patterns given a set of datasets. Thus far is the fastest algorithm to determine closed patterns.
Decided to update my site
After months of not updating my site I thought it was about time to update and put up a new theme and start the blogging again as a tool to self reflect. Updated to Drupal 6.17 and right away there were problems with login's where I had to modify the session.inc to hash out the: //session_regenerate_id(); else the login wasn't working. It would successfully log me in but would take me back to the page with the login prompt. I believe that is because dreamhost (my ISP) decided to upgrade their php to 5.2.13 as of June 29/10.
Three easy steps to self-confidence
Found this from a site. Lost the site but have the content. How not to loose yourself in this whole world of insecurity and develop a healthy lifestyle/relationship with yourself first. How do you practice being self-confident? How do you make all this theory happen? In three steps, just like the title says, of course!
Best quote I heard…
When there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. When you've lost that hope, ask yourself if in ten years from now, you're going to wish you gave it just one more shot. For the best things in life, don't come free.
Barack Obama Vs John Mccain ( 2nd debate )
