August 2010 UPDATE: Read here for new information!
I just realized when trying to use the try_files shortcut that either the behavior has changed or the code I've used it for has never had to take advantage of it, but what happens when you do something like this:
try_files $uri $uri/ /foo/index.php?u=$uri;
Is that the query string is stripped out and the only thing PHP sees is the $_GET['u']
to fix this, it's easy enough:
try_files $uri $uri/ /foo/index.php?u=$uri&$args;
I never noticed this behavior in WordPress (I've been using try_files with it for a while without noticable issue) but it was an issue with Drupal (which uses the Front-Controller Pattern just like WP does) and custom code we've written.
UPDATE: depending on what custom WordPress plugins you may be using that rely on the $_GET params, you should add this. This should be the final recipe from what I can tell. 🙂
I haven't asked Igor if the behavior has changed slightly with it, but the changelogs have not mentioned any behavior changes, from what I can tell.
Anyway if you notice your pagination or other GET params are being dropped, you might want to take a quick look at that 🙂
Since I can't write C to save my life, I'm attempting to help out in other ways. This has been in the form of donating machine time, helping with the wiki, blog and being a general smartass on #drizzle.
However, where I can provide some help is trying to showcase and see how apps may need to change to work with Drizzle as opposed to MySQL.
I will admit, this may go nowhere as I am consistently swamped with work and a busy social life, but it might be something fun to mess around with to get used to working with Drizzle and possibly come up with something to give back to the community.
I don't expect a huge amount of changes. I think some column types might need to change and definately the DB class (I will be using the native drizzle-php-ext module, even though I believe the mysql/mysqli/etc. modules may work transparently already) - so we shall see.
So wish me luck!
I have to give original props to Kevin for first letting me borrow it a couple times. He got it a long time ago but it appears Best Buy is still selling it.
It's Dynex, which is their "cheap house brand" - but it's still great. Its saved my hyde now a couple times. If it was a person, it would actually go under my "Respect Knuckles" category. I am almost tempted to do it anyway... But I digress!
From helping me dismantle a bunch of annoying hex screws on HD enclosures to helping me fish out what was almost a screw in an almost impossible place, this kit so far has been great. Price isn't too bad either, and of course, every geek needs something like this.

There's probably hundreds out there, but this has a nice clean case, easily portable and so far has had a tool for everything I need.
