OK, great, Sam, got it working after doing the following:<br><br>1. Put in the absolute path in the set tags line in .vimrc as you suggested:<br><br>set tags ~/.vim/drupal6.tags <br><br>2. Copied not just drupal6.tags but the drupal6 directory also to ~/.vim<br>
<br>So:<br>victorkane@victorkane:~/.vim$ ls -l<br>total 52<br>drwxr-xr-x 3 victorkane victorkane 4096 2006-10-24 08:08 after<br>drwxr-xr-x 2 victorkane victorkane 4096 2006-10-24 21:59 colors<br>drwxr-xr-x 2 victorkane victorkane 12288 2006-03-17 17:16 colors__<br>

<br>Once again, thanks a lot for this suggestion, and it opens the doors to doing even more with vim!<br><br>Victor<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Sam Tresler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sam@treslerdesigns.com">sam@treslerdesigns.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

set tags .vim/drupal6.tags<br>

to<div class="im"><br>

set tags ~/.vim/drupal6.tags<br>

if that doesn't work, try manually loading the tags file in vim with<br>
:set tags=/home/yourhome/.vim/drupal6.tags and see if it will work<br>
<br>
Good catch on the hooks/ dir, I re-wrote that to have the -d flag as I wasn't keen on traversing the entire cvs download to get to the file.<br>
<br>
I'll add .inc files to the vim doc as well, as I believe they aren't there currently.<br>
<br>
Let me know if that works for you.<br>

OK, first of all, thanks so much for the fruits of an idle moment! I use vim all the time now, and this is great.<br>
<br>
Now, a problem and a solution.<br>
<br>
I executed the below cvs statement on the command line<br>
But since it includes "-d drupal6", it doesn't create a hooks directory, but rather a drupal6 directory.<br>
Error:<br>
$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags hooks<br>
ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "hooks" : No such file or directory<br>
<br>
So the following does work:<br>
<br>
$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags drupal6<br>
<br>
Then, you probably want to include .inc files in the list, yielding:<br>
<br>
if has("autocmd")<br>
" Drupal *.module and *.install files.<br>
augroup module<br>
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.module set filetype=php<br>
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.install set filetype=php<br>
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.inc set filetype=php<br>
set tags=.vim/drupal6.tags<br>
augroup END<br>
endif<br>
<br>
However, when editing a file, , Ctrl-] gives error:<br>
<br>
E433: No tags file<br>
E426: tag not found: drupal_get_form <br>
Am I missing something?<br>

Works like a charm. I'd really rather skip the first incarnation I<br>
had, and just have the hooks loaded. I'll update the vim docs here<br>
shortly, but for the record.<br>
<br>
<br>
$ cvs -z6<br>
-d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib co<br>
-r DRUPAL-6--1 -d drupal6 contributions/docs/developer/hooks<br>
$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags hooks<br>
$ mv drupal.tags ~/.vim<br>
<br>
(make the .vim directory if you need to)<br>
<br>
Then add this to ~/.vimrc<br>
<br>
if has("autocmd")<br>
" Drupal *.module and *.install files.<br>
augroup module<br>
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.module set filetype=php<br>
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.install set filetype=php<br>
set tags=.vim/drupal6.tags<br>
augroup END<br>
endif<br>
<br>
And you have code-hinting for drupal core in vim. Just remember to<br>
update it as you change versions. But it sounds like in Drupal 7<br>
this can scrape directly from .api.php files; I haven't even looked<br>
at those yet.<br>
<br>
Now what was I doing before this diversion....<br>

Thanks Neil,<br>
Some further digging and I found out that php code completion in<br>
vim can map to a ctags output file, which is pretty easy to<br>
generate.<br>
<br>
ctags -R -o drupal6.tags --langmap=php:.module *<br>
<br>
then load it in vim<br>
<br>
:set tags=drupal6.tags<br>
<br>
and you have code complete for every function in core.<br>
<br>
However, this unfortunately doesn't get code complete on<br>
hooks, as<br>
they aren't actually named in core, but constructed from<br>
modulename_function().<br>
<br>
So, I guess my next question is where are the hook function<br>
definitions from <a href="http://api.drupal.org" target="_blank">api.drupal.org</a> <<a href="http://api.drupal.org" target="_blank">http://api.drupal.org</a>><br>
<<a href="http://api.drupal.org" target="_blank">http://api.drupal.org</a>> generated?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>

This list is already available in JSON format in the<br>

present<br>
in the future for an api_filter module to provide an input<br>

here before I<br>
