:-(( Drupal still requires LOCK TABLE permission

On testing Drupal 4.7 I was saddened to see that 4.7 still requires LOCK TABLE permission - only this time it's harder to fix.

Previously, the sole fix was in db_next_id in database.mysql.inc - of course such fixes are hotly contested and largey unsupported.

Now, two new functions have been added, db_lock_table and db_unlock_table. These are called to lock the variables and the cache tables in bootstrap.inc.

weather.module available for testing for drupal 4.7 RC3

weather.module running with 4.7RC3 if you are interested. The 5 day forecast does not work as this was something given by weatherroom.com I have just recently started to test beta4. If all goes well I shall apply a patch to the original weather module.I have recently fixed a bug in the weather_block that broke the module when trying to configure for specific pages.

-      return $base . $script .'?q='. $path .'&'. $query . $fragment;

Unfortunately, due to spamming via anonymous comments I have had to turn off this feature. This is sad as it made simple the sites legitimate use. I shall try to find a simple solution for posting anonymous comments.
