Known incompatibilities with other drupal modules ?
August 13, 2008, 01:48:00 pm
hi,
while trying to forge a drupal system with civicrm, i always end up in a crashed system when activating new modules (which is actually necessary, cause without, the "naked" drupal will not help much i think)

so i would propose to set up a list of those modules which don´t like civicrm (or vice-versa) to prevent me and others to run again and again into the same traps.

maybe such a list already exists, but i was not able to find it so far.
so i start with my last crash:
- admin menu module: site breaks with an error (forgot which one and really don´t wanna reproduce it again ;) )

who´s next? ;)

p.s. additionally, modules which work successfully together with civicrm could be published too

I use admin_menu and civicrm together on almost every site I build or support, with no difficulty at all....

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any modules that ever 'crashed' Drupal in combination with CiviCRM, except for possibly memory_limit issues, which are easily resolved by setting your memory limit high enough, and not an inherent incompatibility.

I have not run across any module conflicts either. Just memory issues mostly.

I have also used admin module successfully. Info on the error would be helpful.

sorry for the late reply. took me some time till i made the next try to install civicrm together with admin menu:
reading your replies i thought i was just too stupid, but here it is again:

having admin menu already installed on drupal 6.4. activating civicrm module
-> entire site broke with:
warning: require_once(CRM/Core/Menu.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 725.

then i deactivated admin menue by renaiming the folder within the modules folder (only way i found so far to do so without accessing the admin section)
site came back
deactivated admin module in the list (was still there)
then renamed the admin module folder back
activated it again
-> site broke with:
Fatal error: Class 'CRM_Core_Permission' not found in /home/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Menu.php on line 421

sorry, i have no deeper knowledge of the mechanisms within drupal. but this happend ALL the time i tried to run both, i think even with drupal 5 earlier.
maybe its something with my configurations, but there should be actually no exotic things there.

any hints?

What version of CiviCRM are you running? CiviCRM prior to 2.1 does not support Drupal 6.

i just enabled admin_menu on my 2.1 site and it worked fine with drupal6 and civi2.1

in prior versions we had not implemented the admin menu hook, so should not have been affected by it. You might need to help debug this and get into the code and figure things out

i use drupal 6.4 anmd civi 2.1alpha2, so quite fresh.

may there be a difference between first installing admin menu and then civicrm or the other way round?
fact is: it doesn´t work. with the admin menu disbled everything seems to be just fine again.

can someone tell me how to debug this? i can read and understand php more or less, but have no idea where to start looking

this will be part of next release. I suspect this should fix things for you.

(To address the original topic of this thread, the only Drupal module that we know doesn’t work with CiviCRM is i18nstrings – any other clashes between CiviCRM and other modules might be fixable.)
