Drupal 7

In preparing for the next iteration of campus maps, I've been studying our options for hosting and trying to develop data we can use to tune the application. In order to do so, it makes sense to capture load test data and work with the data to then tune caching options.

The difference between our old map application and the new version is Drupal. The old version is a series of static html pages; the new version uses Drupal, OpenLayers, CCK, Views and a few other modules to deliver a different type of experience.

As part of a campus roll out for providing building addresses to our facilities, I've been working on devleoping a small look up site and API service developed in Drupal.

All campus buildings, parking lots, fields and entities are getting official US Post Office street addresses. This is a second phase of work that follows on the naming of campus roads.

This error was resolved by going in and resetting the filter for each node. Not sure why it didn't come across in the node export:import properly. Probably a mistake on my part.

• Notice: Undefined index: 5 in filter_list_format() (line 675 of /var/www/drupal7/modules/filter/filter.module).
• Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in filter_list_format() (line 675 of /var/www/drupal7/modules/filter/filter.module).

Had an odd problem working with new D7 sites on my Mac laptop. Turns out I needed to edit the settings.php file to use 127.0.0.1 instead of its default entry for localhost.
