So I got all the updates done and I've also updated a bunch of modules.
I'm also quite surprised that PostWrap is still working as well. I think it's even older than PagEd.
A minor issue has popped up though. In Modules Management (there are 4 now in the Admin panel by the way), the state of both Profile and Users shows as "New version uploaded". When I try to update Profile, it says "Error! The 'Users' module must be upgraded to version 1.10 before you can upgrade the 'Profile' module." When I try to update Users, it says "Notice: The profile manager module ('Profile') must be installed and activated before you can proceed with this upgrade step." I'm in a bit of a Catch 22 situation. Any suggestions?

Nice that PagEd is still doing its thing. That makes it easier to gradually convert to News or Content for example with mutransport.

Hopefully the next version of MUTransport will have all the bugs worked out and I'll be able to transfer all the files properly.

Just saying that MUTransport hasn't been perfected yet. It's a great module that works beautifully. Just some minor tweaks.

Hello... Once again, me being a pain in the butt. My host is now saying that my site is using too many resources. The last time this happened was because of a bad installation of OpenX. This isn't the issue this time.

Any module that I'm not currently using I have disabled. Hopefully that will take care of the problem. Any suggestions to what else I could do?

Here's what I was sent:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2973 nort7357 25 0 210m 39m 7864 R 98.7 0.5

I spoke to my web host and was told that my site is still using too many resources. I have the sneaking suspicion the PagEd is the problem. I'm getting a message when I'm logged in that says "No text area found with the given identifier (ID:PagED)."
According to my host "I'm unable to tell what module is causing the problem, but looking at your access_logs, you have several spiders hitting your site very frequently."
Any suggestions would be helpful as they are threatening to suspend my account again.

A couple of quick suggestions for MUTransport. A "Select All" option would be nice. I have 4,000+articles that I have to manually select. Also, in the settings for MUTransport, allowing articles to be be moved to News as "Active" in addition to "Pending" or "Waiting".
PS... is there any way to approve all articles in News at once? Please

On the plus side, I got the whole Profiles/Users issue taken care of. I put an older version of Profiles on the server, updated Users and uploaded and updated the most recent version of Profiles

Were you upgrading from PostNuke or an earlier Zikula? I've had to raise my fees for PN upgrades because of the amount of work involved, usually have to upgrade modules and system several times now.

I had been using Zikula 1.1.2 and I've managed to upgrade to 1.2.4. It's very tedious work

There is a ticket for bulk actions in News (like delete, etc). Approve could be one of these bulk actions. I think with 4000 articles I would do it in the database for now Just set the published status to 0 (zero) for an published article.

In a couple of weeks I can - so I hope - publish a version 1.3.0 !

I will try to integrate this !

See... had I known that, I would have waited

Nonetheless, you guys are awesome beyond words!

My host is still saying that my site is using too many resources though. I'm not sure what's happening. I have disabled PagEd and have moved over to News completely. I remember Dizkus being a problem so I deleted that. Any other suggestions as to what could be causing this issue?

I'm going to presume that I can change the "pn_published_status" of all the articles at once in phpMyAdmin? What argument would I use to do that?

One other thing... where would I go to change the maximum number of characters that you can put into an article. Currently the limit is set at 65,536 and I need to increase that.

Also, I really would like to use something similar to the News Slideshow Block to show the latest articles. Unfortunately, when I tried, the images weren't showing up. Is there another module or block I could use to recreate this, possibly one that can be customized?
