Drupal modules - temporary (tmp) directory creation error

"Unable to create directory 'temporary://update-extraction ..."

Public servers, paid or free, are useful to easily test applications like Drupal but unexpected problems, like the one mentioned above, can happen when installing Drupal modules, because of directory creation permissions. Directory permissions can be a problem in several circumstances and specially on public web sites where you may not have a convenient full acces to change server parameters.

1) To workaround: Using ftp.  

Is not as practical as using the Drupal interface but you can always install a module directly on the server using ftp to drop the module to:

/public_html/tirestecnica/sites/all/modules

and then activate it on Drupal administration. 

2) To solve the problemchange the temporary (tmp) location

On Drupal interface go to  Home >> Administration >> Configuration >> File system

and there instead of  "/tmp"   use   "./tmp"

That is it! Now drupal will install modules from the interface.

Easy Interactive scenes to comment

Hi All,

Simple clean examples of interactive scenes are useful to inspire beginners (especially when they look easy to build) for their ideas and limitations. These are also an important part of the learning process.

Please comment and share other similar examples you know, apparently relatively simple in design but with some elements of interest and / or any objectionable limitations we can learn from.

enjoy,

EDUCATORS IN VR 2020 INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT: A VIRTUAL PHOENIX FROM THE FIRE

Have you ever been involved in a project that became so intense that you begin to realize that the project is either going to go spectacularly well or utterly flop? Right before the Educators in VR 2020 International Summit, we had that feeling. We write that not to cast doubt on this organization. Conversely, we want to tell you the story of how Educators In VR took a huge risk and got a virtual conference right…spectacularly right.

Two research colleagues from the Immersive Learning Research Network attended and presented at this first-of-a-new-kind of conference. The origin story from the Educators in VR founders will move into lore but the earliest versions include phrases like “we can do this because it is all virtual” and“this will be a free conference” and “we will aim for 40 presenters.” Eventually, this conference covered 6 days (February 17–22, 2020), 5 platforms (AltspaceVR, Engage, Somnium Space, rumii, and Mozilla Hubs), 170+ presenters, 150+ sessions, and 75+ volunteers. Events ran around the clock so there was truly a global audience. There were an average of 100 attendees per event and because it was online, it saved 1,400,800 lbs of carbon dioxide.

Email issue has been solved

Email errorRecently BabelX3D has been plagued with a email issue, disabling the service.

The module SMTP Authentication Support displayed the message “Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists”.

It has been solved by uninstalling the module, flushing the cache and reinstalling.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
