Religion, the Common Wealth, Drupal and Games

Attended Sunday's service at the Melbourne Unitarian Church, a report back from the ICUU/ANZUUA Conference, which ruffled some well-nested feathers. On a related note I am using the Church as the organisation of study for my assignment on Strategic Management, because it could certainly do with some. I didn't speak myself as I'd given the service a few week's prior and will be giving the address this coming Sunday on "Strangers, Sojourners and Common Wealth" where I'll be combining some hints on the political economy of the Torah with the Henry Review into Australia's taxation system. On a related note, I have written to the two very conservative independents, Bob Katter and Tony Crook, presenting some ideas on why they should support the proposed mining tax. I've also started engaging in (mainly) daily 'blog with brief commentary on religious issues; comments invited (indeed, other 'blogs invited, if people so desire). The Church website has finally "opened up" to be more interactive and inviting for input using the various options available in my favourite CMS; Drupal.

Which brings me to the next topic; gave a brief presentation at the Monash eResearch eXPO on Drupal for eResearchers, with at least two research teams expressing serious interest in using Drupal as a collaborative framework, with a particular interest in Drupal's capabilities to search attachments and the very handy taxonomy module. Finally, [livejournal.com profile] ser_pounce and [livejournal.com profile] hathhalla visited last weekend; apart from their always enjoyable company it provided the opportunity to play Princes of Florence, a very clever boardgame which keeps the competition tight whilst allowing plenty of levers to pull and buttons to press.

I actually have a cron job on the server for it (hence daily emails).

There must be some config file that makes it think it is an older version than it should be. It's probably the fault of the module designer.

Well I suspect that :)

What version of Drupal and Date are you running? I have that module installed and it isn't causing me any grief...

[identity profile] curufea.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
date-6.x-2.6 and Drupal-6.19

OK, that's the same as I have as well (and up-to-date as well, I notice).

These updates that you're receiving, what are they being triggered by? The usual admin/reports/updates/settings ?

[identity profile] curufea.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
yeah-

"There are updates available for one or more of your modules or themes. To ensure the proper functioning of your site, you should update as soon as possible.

See the available updates page for more information:
"

I'll check the date_api.info on the site and see if is showing the right version.

Hmm
The update admin page says I only have
Date 6.x-2.4
installed!

This could be an answer-

Kinda - as I'd have to give fairly intimate access to the Drupal for you to actually be able to help :)

I don't think you can help more than "it works for me" so I have to go through other modules and things and see where it falls down...

Fixed now. FTPed over all the modules to a local drive to look at them. Turns out there was a date.info file in the jquery plugin that was overriding the correct one in the date module. Sorry for troubling you :)
