There may be cases where you are using IMCE with Drupal and have the IMCE appear on node add/edit pages which use a secure URL. You need to add the following to the ignore section of the Secure Pages module.

Go back to your node add/edit page and you should now have the add button in IMCE.

This tutorial assumes you have a reasonable knowledge of Drupal such as being able to create a custom module. It also requires an understanding of PHP and jQuery.

This tutorial is an addition to my previous tutorial on creating a simple gallery in Drupal 6 using CCK and views.  This tutorial will enable users to create galleries containing multiple images per node with each album being listed within a view presented by one of the node’s images.

This tutorial was written with the following versions of Drupal and module:

• Drupal 6.11
• CCK (Content Construction Kit) 6.x-2.2
• Views 6.x-2.5
• Filefield 6.x-3.0
• Imagefield 6.x-3.0
• ImageAPI 6.x-1.6
• Imagecache 6.x-2.0-beta9
• Lightbox2 6.x-1.9

Note: These were the latest versions as of writing this tutorial.

On a Windows XP SP2 machine I have had, both the command prompt (cmd.exe) and regedit (regedit32.exe) failed to load and just restarted explorer.exe which closed all open windows and brought you back to the desktop. This also brought up the Restore Active Desktop message on the desktop and the Restore button failed with a script error.

On most start ups, explorer didn’t load at all, but could be manually by bringing up the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and going to File –> Run and typing ‘explorer.exe’ (without the quotes).

I don’t know where the malware came from, but there were traces from Limewire, so one could hazard a guess that this was likely the cause.
