	The search feature for anonymous users (crawlers) has been turned off in the Drupal config for now to see if that avoids the problem and, therefore, isolates it to the search of the site and might imply complex internal data gathering. This would be similar to a problem experienced in ConnoteaCode when search engines stepped through the /tag tree.

			== Getting Firefox to use Java on openSUSE 10.2 ==

			Ensure Firefox can support Java as a plugin requires that you install Sun Java (1.5 preferred) via YaST. Be sure and include the -plugin RPM, that's the one that contains the critical part.

			After the YaST install completes run the following set of commands:

			cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
			ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update8/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

Theme Upgrade: Notes on upgrading atlabit theme

	=== Theme Upgrade ===		=== Theme Upgrade ===

			The atlabit xtemplate based theme was upgraded from 4.4.0 site instance to the 4.7.6 site instance. The upgrade requires installing the [http://drupal.org/project/xtemplate xtemplate theme engine] for 4.7.6 since it was dropped from core at 4.7.0.

			The basic upgrade wasn't too difficult. After the xtemplate engine is install in the themes/engines subfolder the atlabit tree was copied in place. The theme was enabled through the admin ui and it came up OK except for the header. The logo was missing and so where the secondary and primary links. The logo was easily fixed by correcting the xtemplate.xtmpl file which had the path coded in it. The primary and secondary links were lost from the variable table and had to be manually moved forward from 4.4.0 to 4.7.6 db. This didn't cause them to appear, though.

			Rather than debug the problem, their data was just directly placed in the xtemplate.xtmpl file for atlabit. The real solution is to migrate the theme to the phptemplate engine instead, so we didn't want to invest the time on heavy debugging.
