enforce a node preview
by Bèr Kessels 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hello, I might be missing something. But I find no way to enforce a preview on a node/add or node/xxx/edit. The only place where I see this used is in project.module, but that one abuses the validation errors, which I don't like. It shows an error, when there is no error at all. Is there another trick to enforce previews? Bèr

No. The form API was a fantastic achievement by Adrian which was refined further during the conversion. Some parts of the core are 'ancient', like their theme function do not use element_children to iterate through the form and so on. On the other hand, we need a 4.7 out of the door so these WILL NOT be fixed. In 4.8, I will kill global $form_values, rest assured. And if I have my own way, do away with all other globals, but that's a whole another story. Regards NK

Fwd: Add Content issues
by Bèr Kessels 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hello developers, It seems the mac issues are not only limited to stylesheets. I recieved this message today. I have searched the web, but cannot find any reported bug on i-frames, AJAX and crashes. Good thing to note, is that aka Bill had no issues with uploader pre-JavaScript. I am not sure if its a combination of our custom theme with IE5mac that makes it crash or if its Drupal core. But my last hour of debugging makes me beleive this really is a core issue. * Can someone with an old mac ie 5 test any uplaod in HEAD. remixcommons.org is open for uploading.* I would like to know if this happens with all core, for that will give me an indication where to start, in order to fix this bug. Bèr ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Add Content issues Goodness graces! I have atteempted to upload via Netscape 7.5 and IE 5 from a Mac twice and her eis what happens. Netscape offers most (except for teh preview thumbnail upload) options i.e tags, titles additional title... yet it crashes just as the upload is moments from completion. IE does not offer any options outside of the initial title and body, I do not even have an upload image option. Time to move to Firefox? If only just to use Remix Readding...:-) Bill (aka Bill) -------------------------------------------------------

E-Commerce - Call for Developers, testers etc
by Gordon Heydon 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi all, As a lot of people here know E-Commerce is a great set of modules and adds a lot of functionality to Drupal that a lot of web site use and love. A lot of high profile sites like goodstorm.com, and many others use E-Commerce. The unfortunate thing is that with the major changes to Drupals formapi, and many other changes the current CVS version of E-Commerce is not working. With the pending release of Drupal 4.7 we need to fix this problem. This is a large job and I really need help to get this done. I know that I have had kind offers from Bryght to use the svn servers to coordinate the development, but because of the type of system E-Commerce is I feel that the level of accountability needs to be higher. We need to be able to track every change back to the developer that made it. So making the changes in Bryghts svn server and coping the blob of changes to drupals contributions is not going to be acceptable. Since we have a code management system in Drupal (namely cvs) which works fine and most of the E-Commerce developers have contributions cvs write access, I am going to get everyone to commit changes directly into contributions. For developers without cvs access please email me the patch and I will commit them. For testing I have built a web site http://ecommerce.heydon.com.au which is updated from cvs every 3 hours. so any testers can test the latest version of ecommerce, can create a login at the above site, and if you need administrator access, just email me, and I will give it too you. If the frequency needs to be increased I will increase it. I have started converting the store.module to 4.7, and if I can't find someone suitable to do the product module I will also be doing this. Other wise people can email me what they are going to be doing, so that I can coordinate it. I will also be trying to hang out in IRC a bit more so that I can be contacted easier. I would like people to work on the core modules first, but any help is welcome. Thanks for any help that people can give. Gordon.

update hooks/APIs documentation

Hello, Is there documentation somwhere about the update hooks and APIs. I tried to understand them from reading the code. And write some myself, but found this too hard, to do withou the solid understanding of the actual code. I guess that an example module upgrade script will suffice, for now. Is anything already online? Does such an example exist? Bèr

websiteoptimization.com css size
by piotr＠mallorn.ii.uj.edu.pl 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hi, Today I discovered that Web Developer extension for FF has an interesting "View Speed Report" option. It uses websiteoptimization.com for checking different elements of your site. I've used it on my simple site and was generally happy with the results, but one thing I didn't like: the size of CSS file. There was one thread about this iirc... My whole front page is 29.5KB, and 17.1KB is used by CSS files (10.6KB by drupal.css and 6.4KB by bluemarine/style.css). The sizes are for compressed content. Do we really need so (relatively) large CSS files in default theme? I've also tested drupal.org main page - it's 80KB total size, out of which 38KB is used by images and almost 37KB us used by CSS. The HTML content is only 6KB.... -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!

a simple link as MENU_LOCAL_TASK
by Fabio Varesano 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi everybody. I want to create a MENU_LOCAL_TASK link which simply links to 'node/add/mymodule' . I don't need callbacks or other. Simply send clicks on the little tab (created near view and edit) to the 'node/add/mymodule' page. How can I do this on drupal 4.7 ? This looks simple to me but I'm stuck with this! (maybe I'm too tired) Thanks Fabio
