[drupal-devel] parse_rdf.inc proposal
by Bèr Kessels 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi there, While updating naggregator.module, I decided to put all RDF parsing stuff in one parse_rdf.inc. Naggregator needs it, aggrgator.module, aggregator2.module and most probably more modules could use a general rss parser. I would like to know if anyone wants to help me develop this. And I also would like to hear any suggestions. Questions I have been asking myself are: Should this maybe be a general XML parser.inc, rahter then only a rdf/rss parser? Should I include some general remote-file functions (I already have a general drupal_remote_file()) For now, what i have is loosely formatted after the mysql/database functions in PHP: rdf_get_object($res) rdf_get_array($res) where $res is a result (feed) returned by drupal_remote_file(); Both 'get' functions return one item a time, as object. similar to the 'row a time' the database functions to. On top of that, Id like to see a rdf_get_feed($res) which returns an object with an array ($object->items) containing all the items as objects. Please let me know if you are interested in lending me a hand, or if you have other ideas about getting this in core. Or anything else. Bèr

"drupal1", "drupal2", "drupal3"... more imagination would be nice One of the good parts of being a sysadmin instead of a network admin is that you can make funny hostnames (routers always have boring names). I once did the admin of a big entertainment company where the webservers were called "Huey, Dewey, and Louie", impossible to keep track of what host had what problem :-) But what about a poll on drupal on "call the beasts" contest.

Ber, This does sound interesting. It has its perks and its downfalls, but all in all, it will remove clutter from the site for non-admin users. However - what would happen if you have more than one admin in different levels (or roles)? My point here being - rather than make a "admin" role, rather make a "user" role. But this is already accomplished. By assigning proper rights to your users, this would be a non-issue, or am I misunderstanding your request? Regards, Kobus >>> berdrupal(a)tiscali.be 9/21/2005 8:46 PM >>> Something I always liked to know is: Do you ever (want to) administer drupal with your default login. (i.e. how many people have a separate account to administer) I think an well founded answer to that will make our future choices a lot easier: Does the admin menu need to be part of navigation menu, How well would an admin theme help (for the record, i think admin themes are not a good idea), would a default administer role help etc. Ber Op woensdag 21 september 2005 19:45, schreef Kieran Lal: > On Sep 19, 2005, at 10:28 AM, Kieran Lal wrote: > > On Sep 19, 2005, at 9:45 AM, Álvaro Ortiz wrote: > >> So if some concise usability/ux improvements were listed, I would > >> contribute. > > > > Here is a list projects for Administration User Experience that we > > need help with. > > 1) We need to complete interviews for new administrative users.

[drupal-devel] Re: [feature] Signin Checkbox
by GravyFace 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I'm not quite sure what you're after here but you should be able to install flexinode and create your own content type called "foo" and then "allow signups" for this type. I created a "training event" and "corporate event" flexinode type for this very purpose. Perhaps if you could better describe what you're trying to do, big picture wise, we could help. I'm becoming quite familiar with the signup module (I've made quite a few mods and fixed some bugs; just need to get some time to do a diff and create a patch) so I could probably help you out here.
