Sometimes you need to use a different drupal view when you're displaying different group types with Drupal's organic groups (OG) module, for example you might have a group thats mostly about files, and a group that's mostly about posting other items or something.

OG doesn't let you have different configurations for each node type (yet) so you can do this with a little hack, simply hit up the global $conf variable and replace it with what you need, and ensure this executes before OG does.

Zend IDE mysteriously stopped debugging, firefox toolbar just would not start the debugger and always said Zend was not detected no matter what i done, turns out, it was listening on ipv6 ports

"Zend Debugger requires Zend Engine API version 220060519."

From what i've gathered, looks like Zend dont fully support the latest php 5.3, so downgrade unfortunately is the answer!

Simple script you could drop into /etc/cron.daily/backup_db , handy for testing the exit level of mysqldump and rsync, and then rsyncing to your external server, keeps a rolling month's worth of backups.

error checked from mysqldump by testing for info in the STDERR output, and rsync tested by examining the return code ($?)
