bug fixed: File Framework prevents FlashVideo nodes from displaying properly

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Denis

UPDATED STATUS: Solution found. Bug fixed. Case closed. See below for details on how I resolved the issue. (2008-12-08 03:49:20)

STATUS: Bug identified. Partial solution and workaround found. Case still open. (2008-12-17 05:10:40)

VERSIONS AFFECTED: File Framework 6.x-1.0-alpha2 and FlashVideo 6.x-1.4-rc1, 6.x-1.4-rc2, or 6.x-1.4

SYMPTOMS: After you update FlashVideo to 6.x-1.4-rc1 or later, the flash media player (Player.swf by default) stops displaying in all your existing FlashVideo nodes. A "Video currently not available" image like the one below replaces the flash media player container.

The same also happens when you create new nodes via FlashVideo by manual video file attachment upload or the module's batch video import feature. Simply put -- videos stop displaying when they're supposed to.

bug fixed: jCarousel width/height infinite loop popup alert error

Posted on December 03, 2008 by Denis

PROBLEM: While loading, jCarousel spits out a popup alert with this error message:

"jCarousel: No width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting..."

On this website, I use jCarousel for the "Lifestream" scroller on the front page tabs block. I would always get this error message every time the front page loads, regardless of the browser I use. I have been searching for a solution for many months and have finally found one.

Windows Vista slow startup due to svchost.exe and large HOSTS file

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Denis

Recently I reformatted my PC, installed Vista OS and a bunch of other software, and noticed that Vista took well over a few minutes to fully startup. The delay was resolved by killing the svchost.exe process in Windows Task Manager (the one that uses the most memory; it's normal to have multiple svchost processes). That led me to pinpoint the culprit and full solution...

bug fixed: Bad Behavior causes Drupal sluggishness

Posted on October 10, 2008 by Denis

ISSUE: Recently, I've noticed my Drupal site acting sluggishly, especially when I'm submitting/deleting content nodes or calling/querying data from the MySQL database. The sluggish performance was particularly noticeable when queries from the Views module are called upon. Tasks that would normally take milliseconds may take up to 20 seconds to 1 minute on my site.

This was EXTREMELY frustrating... until I found the solution!

bug fixed: <img> styles stripped when posting with Drupal TinyMCE editor

Posted on August 08, 2008 by Denis

ISSUE: TinyMCE and IMCE modules are installed with Image Advanced plugin/button enabled. While editing, styles on image tabs (which are needed to attribute margins and alignment) get stripped after saving an entry.
