[drupal-devel] New 4.6 Image module
by Gordon Heydon 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Hello, Over the last couple of days I have been experimenting with James' new image module, and I think it is very good. I have also been doing some testing with htmlarea and it is all working. I have put up one patch, which instead of using the file_transfer() I have changed it so that it will do a header('Location: ...') to the image so that when you are using public files the image module will not take up as much resource. I have also created 2 new image toolkit includes for imlib, and the php imagick library so that you are not executing a shell command to do manipulations. I know that there was some discussion about moving this new version of the image module from James' sandbox into contributions. Now with 4.6 get closer, I think that we need to do this sooner rather than later so that more general testing can be completed by the time 4.6 is released. I think that what we should do is rename the current image project and cvs to image old. This is because the new image module is a completely new development, and thus should start the bug reports and everything fresh. This will make it much easier to maintain problems between the old and the new. This is a great new improvement for drupal, but we need to get this development moving forward for drupal 4.6 James. Great work. -- Gordon Heydon <gordon(a)heydon.com.au>

[drupal-devel] [feature] Pass include and exclude parameters to cron.php for fine grained cron timing
by robertDouglass 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19173 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: robertDouglass Reported by: robertDouglass Updated by: robertDouglass Status: patch Whether or not this "complexity" is needed depends a lot on what you expect to do with cron. As soon as one starts aggregating not tens but several hundred RSS feeds or more, it is impossible to run cron every 2 minutes. Yet if the site depends on mailhandler keeping user moblog submissions current, 2 minutes is already about the maximum latency time acceptable. Thus the need for crons on different schedules. In terms of usage, writing ?include=mailhandler,search,event isn't so complex. On the code level, splitting that list on comma and looping over the resultant array also isn't really that complex. The patch defaults to normal behavior for people who don't need the feature, and I've seen more than one site that had to solve this problem. robertDouglass Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 20, 2005 - 11:08 : robertDouglass Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/cronpatch.txt (1.99 KB) Some sites need fine grained timing for cron runs. For example, a site that relies heavily on moblogging, mailhandler or any other email based function would want to connect with the email server pretty often, say ever 2-5 minutes. On another site I'm working on we generate flat files for all of a certain node type on a regular basis, though not every 2-5 minutes. Thus the need for cron tasks on different schedules. This patch allows you to make a list of modules to either include or exclude when running cron, so that several cron tasks for one site can be defined. The default behavior in the absence of both parameters is to run all, so the patch preserves backwards compatibility. * Examples: * * runs all hooks * http://mysite.com/cron.php * * runs all hooks except the search and aggregator modules * http://mysite.com/cron.php?exclude=search,aggregator * * runs only search, archive and aggregator modules * http://mysite.com/cron.php?includ=search,archive,aggregator ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 22:23 : Dries Isn't it possible to run all cron functions every 2-5 minutes? The impact of that should be minimal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 22:33 : moshe weitzman an alternative approach is to make a quick PHP page which simply calls mailhandler_cron and any others that need to be called more frequently than normal. then call that php page from cron every couple minutes ... not so sure this complexity is worth having.

[drupal-devel] Page layout workflow mockup
by Chris Messina 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

I've finally converted my original notebook drawings into a graphical workflow for review. You can download the full version here (30K): http://photos4.flickr.com/6944826_90af237c99_o.png and then add comments to its Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/6944826/in/pool-drupal/ Note that the functionality I'm looking to create would allow you to layout out individual pages, which could double as section homepages or a site's homepage. Additionally, just about everything we need to put this together exists today; I've just organized it in such a way that I think is fairly simple to generate good results with minimal effort. Hopefully the various layout module efforts going on right now could benefit from my suggested 3 step approach. Chris

[drupal-devel] [bug] Internet Explorer freezing when accessing admin pages with Pushbutton Theme
by Robert Castelo 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/16531 Project: Drupal Version: 4.5.2 Component: theme system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: tatonca Updated by: Robert Castelo -Status: active +Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/pushbutton-tab-crash.patch (463 bytes) Thanks Hellata. Someone else experiencing this problem tried your solution, and it worked. Attached is a patch, which will hopefully make this bug disapear once and for all. Robert Castelo Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 1, 2005 - 04:01 : tatonca Some users using IE 6.0 on XP SP2 and W2K SP4 are experiencing problems accessing admin pages while using the pushbutton theme. Changing to Bluemarine corrects the problem. I have made sure the default pushbutton theme also exhibits this problem. In all cases when going to an admin link such as ?q=admin/themes/config or ?q=user/1/edit IE freezes completely, requiring an exit and in some cases using task manager to stop the process. Other '3 part or more' links such as ?q=image/uid/# seem fine. Firefox does not have the problem - All pages render fine. There are no errors reported in the log files. I have the following modules configured : aggregator, archive, blog, blogapi blogroll, buddylist, comment, feature forum, help, image , legacy legal, members, menu, node page, profile, search statistics story, taxonomy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 2, 2005 - 12:35 : Robert Castelo I'm not sure where to begin with this bug, there isn't anything in Pushbutton that specifically styles the admin pages. Maybe something to do with the large tables some admin pages use, or perhaps something in the menu code? But then why hasn't this bug come up before? Pushbutton is quite widely used. It also sounds like it might be difficult to reproduce the bug: "The strange bit is that another XP machine with same IE works fine!" Could it possibly be just temporary heavy load on the server when you where trying the theme? Or a module that was causing problems - I noticed on your site you mentioned you where having problems with old modules. I'm not going to be able to look at this for about a week anyway, so try it out again and see if it could be something else, if the problem persists let me know and I'll have a look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 2, 2005 - 19:53 : tatonca Hey there, I've tried this again at various times and the behaviour is still the same - ie on the affected machines freezes predicatably at the same pages, specifically the two types I've mentioned, and changing to bluemarine resolves the issue. I have started to port the pushbutton theme into bluemarine a section at a time, as I do like the theme but the error makes it hard for the majority of my users to update thier own accounts. With some luck, I may hit the exact piece of code in pushbutton that causes the problem and be able to report on that... Is there anything else that defines a theme other than the way the html goes and the {module} tags that are defined within it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 2, 2005 - 22:22 : andremolnar I cannot reproduce this error. As a troubleshooting step - try turning off style sheets in internet explorer and see if the page works (it may not look right, but see if it loads without hanging). I can't think of anything on the server side (i.e. the theme) that could cause this behaviour. andre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 3, 2005 - 00:49 : Robert Castelo Also try testing with all modules turned off (except of course required ones) - just to make absolutely sure it's not a misbehaving module. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 8, 2005 - 09:48 : Anonymous Sounds like a crappily-written add-in for IE which is screwing things up for you. I had a problem similar to this with some spyware that had attached itself to IE on a client's PC... after running ad-aware, all was well again. In conclusion, this bug just made me hate IE and spyware even more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 20, 2005 - 10:38 : Anonymous I too have found this "freezing" to be happening on my newly built Windows 2003 server box, and it freezes on my XP box as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 20, 2005 - 14:05 : Emiliano Hi! I rewrote the Pushbutton css file for my site (with differente colors) and "forgot" to define the style for *TABS*. Now Pushbutton theme works fine here (it used to freeze before). So I believe the problem is either in the "tabs", "tabs primary" or "li active" classes in the style sheet. You may notice that all the pages which have TABS will freeze. Verify the style sheet and remove or try to fix the style definitions. It worked fine for me. Then only thing is that if you remove the definitions, your tabs will look simpler. You may try to recreate that styles. []s, Emiliano. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 21, 2005 - 22:59 : tatonca You are correct - good observation! I had switched to the bluemarine theme and there are no TAB declarations in styles.css for this theme. I double checked with pushbutton enabled on an affected system and it is only pages with tabs that are not rendering. It must be some style setting in 'tabs' that IE does not like - I will test by eliminating each style setting in each of the 'tab' class specifications one at a time until the problem goes away to determine which it is... Thanks for the lead... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 28, 2005 - 22:14 : tatonca Just cross linking another thread with folks having similar issues http://drupal.org/node/17807 Update: I still can't figure out what causes it to fail - I mean I know it's the way Tabs are defined, as discussed, however the CSS seems to be formatted correctly and should work in IE - as evidenced by all kinds of people for which it works properly. I wonder if running IE in 'quirks' mode will yeild any insight.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 22, 2005 - 17:07 : hellata The problem is the .tabs ul.secondary class declaration. Here is the offending line: white-space: nowrap; It's an IE bug (anyone surprised?). Adding "width:100%;" 'unconfuses' IE. Here is a working definition: 166 .tabs ul.secondary { 167 border-collapse: collapse; 168 padding: 10px 0 10px 0px; 169 margin: 0 0 0 0; 170 width:100%; 171 white-space: nowrap; 172 list-style: none; 173 height: auto; 174 line-height: normal; 175 border-bottom: none; 176 }

[drupal-devel] [bug] Image handling block on settings page provides no information if no toolkits are installed
by TDobes 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18093 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: system.module Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Mad Maks Updated by: TDobes -Status: active +Status: duplicate I believe these issues have been adressed by this issue's patch [1]. If not, feel free to reopen. [1] http://drupal.org/node/18700 TDobes Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 28, 2005 - 03:28 : Mad Maks i have installed the cvs version yesterday (upgrade from 4.5.2) and now i see at administration => settings a block with the titel image handeling. But in that block there is nothing except a "1" . Is this a now bug or did i do something wrong? greetings MM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 1, 2005 - 02:24 : Mad Maks nobody? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 9, 2005 - 04:41 : Mad Maks BrianH has posted a screenshot in http://drupal.org/node/18588 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 19, 2005 - 14:25 : Junyor Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/system_5.patch (976 bytes) I think the problem is that no image toolkits are installed at your host. Here's a patch that should clean up things a bit by adding information if no toolkits are available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 20, 2005 - 03:18 : Mad Maks thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 21, 2005 - 15:26 : Dries Committed to HEAD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 21, 2005 - 22:29 : TDobes Forgive me if this is totally incorrect, but... A cursory glance at this patch seems to indicate that it's not the correct fix. The image_toolkit_invoke('settings') only gets called if there is more than one toolkit. What if there's only one toolkit installed and it has settings available? Also, the else clause is encountered if the number of toolkits is not greater than one (in other words: less than two). The else clause tells the user that there are NO toolkits. Isn't this message inaccurate if there's only one toolkit? For that matter, won't there always be at least one toolkit because we bundle one in image.inc? If we've decided that there will never be any settings from the core toolkit, perhaps we should just change the text to read "There are no extra toolkits installed, so image manipulation will be done using gd2." or something like that. From a user's perspective, the "no toolkits" message would be interpreted as "you can't manipulate images", which is not the case. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here... I haven't yet thoroughally looked over the image handling code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 22, 2005 - 01:49 : Junyor @TDobes: You're correct, it's the wrong fix. I'm looking into it again now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 22, 2005 - 02:07 : Junyor Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/junyor.system.patch (927 bytes) OK, the problem seems to be that image_gd_settings() returns TRUE. So, if there's only one toolkit installed, you'll just see "1" in the image handling section on the settings page. I had thought that "image_toolkit_invoke('settings')" was supposed to show settings for an image toolkit, not verify that the toolkit is installed. Here's a new patch that corrects the problem in the first patch. If only one toolkit is installed and working, it prints a message saying the toolkit is ready for use. If no toolkits exist, the same message as in the previous patch is printed. If no message should be printed if no settings are available (only one toolkit is installed or no toolkits are installed), I can roll another patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 22, 2005 - 02:31 : TDobes I was under the same impression as Junyor that toolkits were supposted to have a settings hook such that there might be a unified place for configuration. (i.e. location of binaries if one is using imagemagick) Perhaps walkah (who wrote the image.inc code IIRC) could clarify on this? It looks like the problem was introduced by this patch [2], which is where the idea seems to have originated that the settings hook might be used to determine whether a toolkit exists or not. My guess is that we need to remove the "return true" from image_gd_settings and instead return a message like "You are using the GD toolkit, which has no configurable settings." or something along those lines. This would avoid breaking the check for toolkit existance based on the settings hook while fixing the problems it caused. See also: Stefan's UI consistency comments [3] [2] http://drupal.org/node/17477 [3] http://lists.drupal.org/archives/drupal-devel/2005-03/msg00915.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 22, 2005 - 03:16 : Junyor Yep, that looks like the place this problem started. A settings function should return available settings, not tell whether the functionality is really available. I'm setting this back to active, as there are a couple things that need to be decided before we can precede: Should the image_*_settings() hook be used to display settings for a toolkit or tell if the toolkit is really enabled? What should happen if there are no image handling settings? Print a message on the settings page that no settings are available, or Remove the image handling section from the settings page What should happen if no image toolkits are installed/available? Print a message on the settings page that no toolkits are available, or Remove the image handling section from the settings page and print an error in the watchdog log

[drupal-devel] [bug] Remove message_access function and introduce better worded situation aware messages
by killes 23 Mar '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/17592 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: other Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: killes(a)www.drop.org Reported by: Carl McDade Updated by: killes(a)www.drop.org -Status: won't fix +Status: patch My patch still applies just fine and I am not aware of any discussion. killes(a)www.drop.org Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 19, 2005 - 18:50 : Carl McDade Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/common_11.patch (503 bytes) There should be an effort to externalize all english text into default variables. It makes a great step towards true internatiolization. Does not cost anything in terms of performance or matainance. What it does do is make the code that uses hard coded strings open and more resuable. It adds the flexibility in phrasology that is necessary in internationalizing Drupal. It creates more usability in that better text instructions can be delivered to the user based on the situation of the process. I have made this slight change in my install which allows me to give a descriptive message based on the url tried. This can be done in both english and swedish without me having to use gettext and the like. <?php --- common_1.inc 2005-02-19 17:33:21.451910400 +0100 +++ common_2.inc 2005-02-19 17:34:40.876116800 +0100 @@ -427,8 +427,8 @@ function object2array($object) { * Always consider whether to use drupal_access_denied() instead to return a * proper (and customizable) 403 error. */ -function message_access() { - return t('You are not authorized to access this page.'); +function message_access($message = 'You are not authorized to access this page.') { + return t($message); } *Warning*: Unterminated comment starting line 13 in */home/www/drupal.org/modules/codefilter/codefilter.module* on line *28* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 19, 2005 - 20:47 : killes(a)www.drop.org Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/message-access.patch (2.99 KB) The original description is a bit unclear, but the underlying concern seems to be that the error messages are not specific to the situation they occur in. I share this concern. The attached patch removes the function message_access() (which hails from 2001) and replaces the six calls to it by hopefully better chosen strings. Since I do not use blogapi.module I welcome suggestions for better phrases. Since this is actually a usability bug fix i hope this can get into 4.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 20, 2005 - 00:35 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/message-access_0.patch (3.2 KB) While we are at it, we could open up drupal_access_denied so that the title can be changed per call. It costs almost nothing, breaks nothing, so why not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 20, 2005 - 03:47 : Steven Can someone point out to me how this is related to i18n, at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 23:01 : Dries As discussued, this is not going to work as is.

Well, if we want to tie it together nicely, I would like to propose following the Goggle syntax e.g. horse+cars (Nodes in both the horse and the cars terms) horse+OR+cars (Nodes in either the horse or the cars terms) horse+OR+cars+-trucks (Nodes in either the horse or the cars terms but not in the trucks term) Aldon
