New drupal module Trees

I created a new drupal module called trees.

What does it do?
The trees module is based on the book module. Like the book module the trees module allows users to structure nodes in a hierarchy or outline. The main difference is that the trees module supports adding one node to multiple trees which the the book module does not. The output is also different. The book module provides a navigation, the tree module does not. Instead it produces for each tree a set of blocks, being the parents of a node, the siblings and the children.

Solution in case db_last_insert fails on you because LAST_INSERT_ID() is giving 0

Problem: You want to know the next id for the nodes. According to drupal you should use db_last_insert('table', 'field'). It returned allways zero for me.

What is the solution to overcome this problem? use SHOW TABLE STATUS WHERE Name='node' in the returned object you 'll find the next value for the autoincrement.

Drupal drupal_get_form() First argument is expected to be a valid callback and your sure the form exists

This means drupal cannot find your callback to your form.
Possible causes:
1) Drupal cannot find your function because the php file containing the function is not loaded.
2) You made a typo :)

Drupal 5-6: Restrict a content type from your search results

If you are looking to exlude feedapi nodes or webform nodes or maybe even node-types you ve created yourself using cck from your search results because they are not relevant.

Use http://drupal.org/project/search_block

Install and go to the settings page(settings > search > tab)
You ll be able to restrict nodes on a content type base from your search.

If your site was allready indexed you should re-index it. Go to settings > search to do it. Run your cron until everything is indexed.

Mime mail module and multilingual support

I discovered this flaw in the mimemail module when working with send module in a multilingual site.
In the mimemail.module the function mimemail_html_body() gets called which you ll find in the mimemail.inc file.
Here in the preg_replace _mimemail_url() gets called which will format all your urls in the mail.

Drupal : how to host multiple drupal sites using only one url on linux

This post will explain how to host multiple drupal sites using only one url on linux.
We have two sites a Dutch site and a French site and we want to host it under one url.
Setup your folders in de sites folders. Create a directory for the french site and create a directory for the dutch site. Both will have their own settings file.
In the root of your drupal installation create two symlinks. The two symlinks will point back to the root of your site.

Drupal 5 cant submit nodes (duplicate entry) and I used prefixes

In one of my posts I told about a technique to use multiple drupals in one database using prefixes http://dominiquedecooman.com/blog/how-run-multiple-drupal-installations-...

There is nothing wrong with this technique IF you start off with that setup.

But if you have multiple sites and you ve ALLREADY developed your sites using multiple databases and you want them REUNITED in one database. You should be aware of the following issue:
Drupal 5 uses the sequences table to keep track of autoincrement of node ids user ids, etc...
