For sites belonging to a domain name(Not Subdomain), one can access the site using the domain name with www, Ex: www.example.com or without it: example.com Both ways the site can be accessed when a ServerAlias is created in the config. However this is confusing as session information for both is different, which means if one is accessing the site with www preceded and logs in, on accessing the site without www preceded - the server would have no information saved. To redirect any domain name to use www by default, the following mod_rewrite condition can be used:

Many times we use Views Buk Operations with Batch Api for doing a big set of operations. When the count of operations is huge, even Batch API gets short. A faster and more efficient way to do that is using drush to do the heavy backlifting. The commands are:
vbo-execute Execute a bulk operation based on a Views Bulk Operations (VBO) view.
vbo-list List all Views Bulk Operations (VBO) views, along with the operations associated with each.

ModSecurity supplies an array of request filtering and other security features to the Apache HTTP Server, IIS and NGINX. ModSecurity is a web application layer firewall. 2. Mod_evasive prevents against ddos and scripted bots which can hammer a website. Mod_evasive is the Web Denial of Service module used in ASL.

Munin is a server and network monitoring tool. AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. Sometimes both can result in High Server i/o due to its periodic cron tasks. Uninstalling via command line wont help as you may see cron based tasks for Munin and Awstats running in logs.

Babas,

Dear Dhongis, We have almost all sites where we have multiple roles and we need a different profile for each role. This was so far rocket science since we did not have a mechanism to create different looking registration forms per user role. We handled this situation post login when we asked people to create profiles as per their roles. Also, we have an issue of assigning roles when logically a person should be able to choose their role and admins should simple approve or disapprove of it. Walking by the PC One September Afternoon I found the solution But not very soon

Consider a situation in which you have installed Drupal in your Ubuntu machine. Now you would like to start sending email from localhost.If you have not setup Mail Transfer Agent(MTA) than you will not be able to send email from localhost. What is Mail Transfer Agent(MTA)? Wikipedia Says:

function_exists: function_exists — Return TRUE if the given function has been defined Syntax:
bool function_exists ( string $function_name )
Example: <?php if (function_exists('payroll_getcomponents')) { echo("payroll_getcomponents functions is available"); }else{ echo("payroll_getcomponents functions is NOT available"); } ?> profile2_load_by_user: Loads the profile data of a user. Takes user id as input Syntax:
profile2_load_by_user($account, $type_name = NULL)
Example: <?php

Accessing a view programmatically <?php $view = views_get_view('view_name'); $view->init(); $view->set_display('default'); // or display id like page_1, block_1 $view->set_arguments(array($ARGS)); //display_name = 'default' or 'page' and so on //filter_name is the name of the filter //debug($view->display['display_name']->handler->options['filters']['filter_name']); $view->display['default']->handler->options['filters']['date_filter']['value']['min']='2012-05-01'; $view->display['default']->handler->options['filters']['date_filter']['value']['max']='2012-06-30';
