Ubuntu Wiki

Drupal extensions to consider for the Edubuntu website.

Drupal Core Modules

• Upload - Don't enable this! Use 'Attachment' and 'Filemanager' instead. Update: file handling in Drupal 5.1 is still sub-optimal, a new file api is being worked on... for the moment, we seem stuck with the built-in 'Upload', since 'Attachment' and 'Filemanager' won't be upgraded to work with 5.x

  • See "Race condition in upload module" - http://drupal.org/node/11060

  • See "making upload.module more scalable with a better directory structure" - http://drupal.org/node/28769
