I have been having problems with the new menu system in Drupal 6. When editing my module menus an error started to appear which was "warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in *****/includes/menu.inc on line 258". I first fixed this by rebuilding my menus which was done by adding the following code to the top of my index.php.

Im currently building a contractors book keeping module to store invoices. I have a new content type and I wanted to theme that new node type from a template in my modules directory. But I also wanted to allow the user to override the template with one in there theme directory if they wished.

After a while of trying different search terms in google I managed to find an article on the matter.

The drupal ecommerce solution has a problem with the shipping email. On a fresh install of version 3.x the 'shipping notify' option will throw the error message "Mail template for ec_mail_shipping_notification could not be found!". There is this support request on drupal.org that will fix it. Follow the link bellow and apply the patch from JohnAlbin, comment #4. http://drupal.org/node/162512 You should now have a default shipping drop down in the store options.

The drupal ecommerce mode clears the contents of the cart when you enter the payment system. This is annoying because if a user fails the payment there shopping cart is emptied and may have taken a long time to create. I found this one a little hard to debug as it is actually an implementation of hook_ec_transactionapi in the cart itself. To fix this problem just go into the ecommerce module and comment out the line cart_empty in the cart_ec_transactionapi function. You will then need to clear the cart down yourself either in your payment gateway or payment success node.

Drupal will cache the next available id for a table locally. This is not normally a problem, however when you have added data directly to the database it will throw a duplicate id. I think this caching is over kill but have not found a way of changing this behaver yet. A friend of mine had already come across this problem and sent me this SQL code which clears the cache completely.

delete from cache; 
delete from cache_page; 
delete from cache_filter; 
delete from cache_content; 
delete from cache_menu; 
delete from cache_views; 
delete from watchdog;
