A core commit without community involvement...
by Morbus Iff 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I just wanted to get the *community's* opinion on the following Issue, which arose when a change made it into core WITHOUT a formal Issue, Patch, Comment, Commit workflow: http://drupal.org/node/38841 I, and others, think it's a step backwards. Would others care to comment? -- Morbus Iff ( oh, i wish i was a hoggle ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus

Theme('confirm'...) in 4.7?
by Mark Fredrickson 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi- It seems theme('confirm'...) has disappeared in HEAD. I assume this is meant to be replaced with a form. An easy enough change, but I just thought I would confirm before I go too far down that road. There is no mention at: http://drupal.org/node/22218 Mark Fredrickson E-Advocacy Manager Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota 1200 Lagoon Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55408 Ph: 612.821.6154 Fax: 612.825.3522 Email: mfredrickson(a)ppmns.org Are you a member of the Action Network? http://www.ppaction.org/ppmsd/join.tcl

bzr mirror of Drupal HEAD
by Karoly Negyesi 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi! At http://drupal.revisioncontrol.net/core/head you can find a bzr branch, which hourly mirrors from cvs. Also, as a proof of concept, this site is also a working Drupal install. I copied default in site to drupal.revisioncontrol.net and it's working nicely. That directory is not revisioned, of course. You need bzr 0.6 to use this branch, the 0.0.8 in cygwin won't cut it. Please understand that all this is highly experimental. You need to run first bzr get http://drupal.revisioncontrol.net/core/head in a directory, which will create you a head directory (have patience -- a progress bar is coming, for now you need patience). This head directory is also known as branch -- in bzr, a branch is just a directory, if you copy that directory to some other name, then congratulations, you have branched, it's so very easy! Actually, the get commmand above is an alias to branch (and so is clone). To update this branch, use: bzr pull and that's it. I recommend setting up an hourly cron to do this for you. If you want to actually hack core, I recommend branching first: bzr branch head drupal from the dir you issued get. Now go to your new drupal directory, hack away, and use bzr commit often, whenever you are complete with a step. You can have as many branches you want. When you want to update your own branch to head, then issue from the branch you want to update: bzr merge ../head bzr commit -m"Synching with HEAD" You want to roll a patch? bzr diff ../head You can, of course do all this against the mirror itself instead of ../head but it's much faster to use your own local mirror -- and also the http://drupal.revisioncontrol.net is running on James Blackwell's donated space and bandwidth for which I am thankful, but let's not overuse it folks, OK :) ? Later I'd like to move this our own infrastructure. If you want to work together with someone then you need to make your branch public. The first thing is that you need to copy the working tree to some webspace and then you can just: bzr push sftp://somewhere.domain/path/to/my/bzr/branch Of course, ftp://username:password@ also works. The web space does not need to run bzr or anything at all. You are storing static files. Last tip: bzr help is really helpful. Have fun! NK

Voor 4.6.x is die check er nog niet, maar mbstring function overloading leidt sowieso tot subtiele bugs (vb in truncate_utf8) zodat het zeker niet aan te raden is. Ik vind het nog steeds cruft.

module dev. mysql like operator problem.
by Thomas G. Willis 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I apologize if this isn't the right list. didn't know if this would be support necessarily since it's a custom module. I'm at a loss as to whether this is a bug or whether I'm just trying to do something I'm not supposed to. I can't get a query working using the like operator in drupal. the same sql runs fine in in phpmyadmin. not like will return results though weird. any ideas? function _db_getartistlist($filter=''){ //Example $filter='A%'; /*filter not working yet ??*/ /*doesn't work*/ /* if($filter!=''){ return db_query('select distinct artist from {mp3col_data} where artist like \'' .$filter . '\' order by artist'); //return db_query('select distinct artist from {mp3col_data} where artist like \'%s\' order by artist',$filter); }else{ return db_query('select distinct artist from {mp3col_data} order by artist'); } */ /*works*/ return db_query('select distinct artist from {mp3col_data} order by artist'); } -- Thomas G.

Update on redirect after login
by Justin Davies 28 Nov '05

Ok, this gets weirder. It looks like the redirect after login regardless of the page you are on when you login works flawlessly on Firefox (OSX), but doesn't work on Safari v2. J

User module and redirection
by Justin Davies 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi all, Sorry to post this to here, but I am not sure if I found a bug or a "feature. I need to redirect my users to a landing page (drupal url: land), and I hacked around with user.module to make this happen. I started with the login block, and when I changed the form call to: $output = form($output, 'post', url('user/login?destination=land')); ...it seems to work on every page apart from node (i.e. the front page). Any ideas why this would happen ? I have had a few issues with the user module in that it is not very customisable from an end admin's point of view, and any changes (e.g. redirect to a page on login, and adding user picture upload during registration) have to be done in code. If no-one minds, I would like to make it a bit more customisable for admin's as I think the user module holds so much of the user functionality for Drupal, it stops an admin from customising the Drupal experience for users. Let me know, Justin -- t: CEO/CTO buddyPing e: justin(a)buddyping.com m: 07833 530876
