Occasionally, you might stumble upon a strange error, that happens both on production servers and dev server (ie with the php dev server). You might try to edit (enable/disable/reorder) a menu item in a Drupal menu, but this won't be saved.

This could happen on really big menus, with a lot of items in them. PHP is blocking this change, as a security measure!

For people not running the Suhosin patch, editing the following value in php.ini should do the trick:

Drupalcon is tomorrow in Prague, and I'm in the city for the last four days. I am really excited, as this will be my first Drupalcon (but not the last).

Yianniss' shooting style has changed in the last few years, as have the technologies we use for making websites. While most photographers still have flash sites I decided not to go down that road.

Vardaxoglou.gr is my latest creation and it is a fully responsive photographic website. Check it out if you are into dark designs! I hope to have a case study soon.
