Scenario: Drupal 6 running on a Fedora 8 VPS requiring to send outgoing mail only via a Bluehost mail server.

Some common unix admin stuff for Fedora 8.

When programmatically creating Drupal 6.0 nodes incorporating CCK fields it may be useful to know the allowed values for the field prior to submitting your form with drupal_execute().

NOTE: the listed function is otiose. Views supplies the required
functionality already.

 
  $content_field = content_fields('field_make');
  $allowed_values = content_allowed_values($content_field);

The following function returns an array of the allowed values for a CCK field.

So Mother 1.0.0 Alpha 2 was released today. Quite a lot has been improved but there are some features still to be implemented so there will be an Alpha 3 before the official Beta program starts. Registered Alpha testers can view the change log at www.mugginsoft.com/testing/mother.

The update includes the latest build of Sparkle (1.5b6) which insists upon code signing. I have tested this with a pre-emptive Alpha 3 and it all seems to hang together. So fingers crossed for future updates.

One of the G4 mac mini test machines is still refusing to connect to the server agent. The other machines are not exhibiting the problem. Despite this I decided to make the alpha release available today.

Posted the announcement on the mac applescript users list.
