Menu system question
by piotr＠mallorn.ii.uj.edu.pl 24 Dec '05

24 Dec '05

Hi, I wanted to have a 'log in' link that behaves like 'log out'. I.e. it is visible by anonymous but not by logged in person. I'd use 'log in' and 'log out' in secondary links in header - I don't want to have this huge login box in my sidebar... After clicking the 'log in' link the user should be directed to normal 'user/login' page, with "register", "forgot password" tabs... I think everything would work if I could combine MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK with MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM. We could add this flag to user.menu's user/login link. But now it does not work - produces "front page" link (I think it has something to do with default local task being redirected to it's parent). Is there any other way to have such 'log in' link? If not, could we change core somehow to make this possibile? Or is there any other way to have such link? -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!

Req for (paid) support
by Boerland, Bert 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi -crossposting to support and consultants since this is a paid support request- After upgrading from 4.5 to 4.6 my images dont appaear well or at all. See http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/image and view source. Some imagepath have an extra /s/ in it, sometime there is an tailing _0 in the filename, both shouldnt be there. Since I like my images (hence: my family) a lot, I would like to see this solved and I dont have the skills it takes to fix this. so I am requesting your help, if you would like to make me happy while gaining some money, browny points and fame please respons to me off list. I think for someone understanding drupals image module well, solving this would take one or two hours. I can provide "admin" drupal rights as well as root access and temporary passwords for database, host and site. I offer 75 euro's if you solve this (fixes price). Preferbaly I know you in person, or from IRC/ml, but at least the community ought to know you (lower ID's prefered ;-). I can give you more infromation about my image.module problem when you contact me. Happy hollidays to all of you and best whishes foor 2006 -- Bert Boerland

checkboxes change
by Karoly Negyesi 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi! I am sorry to introduce a change so late in the game but checkboxes type (not singular) default values needed an overhaul. Currently you have #default_value => array(key1, key2, key3) and in #value you usually have array(key1 => 1, key2 => 1, key3 => 1) -- unless you submit the form with all checkboxes unchecked when #default_value will take over and you end up array(key1, key2, key3). This behaviour is not consistent, error prone -- other words, buggy. http://drupal.org/node/39179 has a patch. Please test it throughly. Regards NK

#drupal-offtopic
by Trae McCombs 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Ok, do I love creating channels or what? I was thinking it might be nice for us to have a #drupal-offtopic where we can all come in and discuss whatever it is we want. I know Ubuntu has this in #ubuntu-offtopic and it's a great place where people who work together a lot (like we all do) can kick back, let our hair down(if we have hair) and talk about whatever it is we want with people we enjoy talking to. Just a thought. I'm kickin' back in there now if someone wants to join. ;) Trae -- Trae "occy" McCombs || http://occy.net/ Founder - Themes.org // Linux.com CivicSpaceLabs - http://civicspacelabs.org/

Drupal Main Theme page - A Suggestion for Improvements
by Trae McCombs 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Dries, can you +1 this and Robin and myself will implement it. Thanks, Trae --- Original email sent to themes(a)drupal.org --- Hi all, If you go to this page: http://drupal.org/support You will see a variety of information for someone looking for support. However, if you go to the main Drupal Themes page, you are simply confronted with a bunch of themes to download. I suggest we create a Launching page for the Main Themes page too. We should have at least the following: 1. Prominent Large Image pointing to the Themes Gallery (Think Drupal News Letter "Ad" on the front page of Drupal.org) Perhaps links to themes hosted elsewhere. (offsite from drupal.org) 2. Themes Help area that lists the following links: - Basic Themes Help: http://drupal.org/node/39451 - Manage inconsistancy in themes: http://drupal.org/node/37156 3. IRC Channel This should simply mention the #drupal-themes irc channel on irc.freenode.net. 4. Mailing list info Info about this mailing list. 5. Other stuff... ... I'm not sure who is the person that would or does have the permissions to do this. I would not mind doing it if Dries gave me access to the site to do it. Thanks for your time, Trae -- Trae "occy" McCombs || http://occy.net/ Founder - Themes.org // Linux.com CivicSpaceLabs - http://civicspacelabs.org/

New Ecommerce Package Maintainer
by Matt Westgate 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Gordon Heydon ( http://drupal.org/user/959 ) has accepted my invitation to be the new ecommerce package maintainer. Gordon has been with the Drupal community for more than 4 years and has written several ecommerce contrib modules. I'm very excited about this transition and look forward to helping him (albeit on a smaller role) take the ecommerce package to the next level. Who knows? Maybe it'll even get documentation ;-) Matt Westgate

adopting and upgrading lonely modules
by Peter Hartman 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

hey folks, I just updated emailpage.module and print.module to work with drupal 4.7/HEAD. I also volunteer to be their "maintainers" since I have received bounces and noreplies from the original authors. What is the process for this? I'm already in the cvs, so I could just cvs commit my changes; but I wanted to check here first. Peter -- Hartman's Brain Consulting | Openflows Networks Ltd. gpg 1024D/ED6EF59B (7D1A 522F D08E 30F6 FA42 B269 B860 352B ED6E F59B) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys ED6EF59B

a tip for module developers writing forms
by Karoly Negyesi 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hi! If you want to make your life easier, while debugging you change: // Recurse through all child elements. $count = 0; foreach (element_children($form) as $key) { to // Recurse through all child elements. $count = 0; foreach (element_children($form) as $key) { if (!is_array($form[$key])) die "the form has a wrong key $key"; this way, if you miss a # from a property name, you will get some immediate feedback. As it harms performance a bit and is not something that can happen with a 'ready' site, I see no point in adding this in any way to form.inc. If someone has an idea on where to add this to some docs, do so. Regards NK
