I have just upgraded howforge.com to Drupal 4.7.0 beta 5. It works just well with a little patch. Actually, I follow my previous steps to upgrade Drupal 4.7.0 beta 3 to beta 4 with slightly modification.

1. Make a copy of all files
2. Extract Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4
3. Find differences between the original beta 4 and the copy
4. Extract Drupal 4.7.0 beta 5

It’s a bit too late to announce Drupal 4.7.0 beta 5. However, I am going to upgrade on my site and see all modules work as expected. According to the announcement, there are still more than 400 bugs and 13 critical bugs waiting for us to contribute. It would take a year...

I was at Drupal and I saw this http://drupal.org/files/fosdem-big.jpg . The last word pertains to your IP-to-country module. Nice work. These days it's a very nice feature to have. Good job my man! larry

Stefano commented some strange behavior of nodewords module which I patched to use new form API on Drupal 4.7.

The "Meta tags" fieldset in node/add page has the same weight (40) asthe Preview button. This makes the fieldset show below the Preview button. A lower value (35, for example) brings the fieldset in the right position.

Ah... I have seen this behavior but never thought it was my mistake. Thanks you very much. I will use this useful thing to fix this kind of bug later. I have made a new accumulative patch including this bug. You might upgrade or not. It’s just minor bug.

If you are using Drupal and you have an ’ account, you might be interested to try Google Analytics for Drupal. By using this module, you will be able to add necessary code to all pages automatically without modification to your theme.

This is a good start. Anyway, it is possible to track your website programmatically using Google Analytics. Google Analytics module should provide high-level APIs to support Drupal user. Hope budda, the author, will continue this impressive project.

I have just noticed a few entries in referrers log at howforge.com. They seems to be a kind of search engine. There are only 3 identical entries from AOL, IOL, and MyWebSearch. Let me explain more detail about them.

1. AOL has a very unique URL pattern which I don’t think other search engine will never have something like this. Actually, it contains the word "aolcom".
2. IOL, instead, uses CGI standard and it doesn’t utilize feature of aliasing like Google do. In contrast, IOL add "/cgi-bin" to the URL.
