tagadelic 'backport' for 4.7
by Bèr Kessels 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hello, I am receiving the first patches to make tagadelic ready for 5. However, till today, I managed to keep tagadelic HEAD running very fine on 4.7. It got loads of nice features, improved code, and revised, more modular APIs. branch 4.7 tagadelic, and HEAD tagadelic are not compatible, so if I simply overwrite the 4.7 branch with tagadelic HEAD I will break a lot of people's sites. Hence I want to roll out a 4.7-2 soon, and then focus on 5.0. Questions: * Drupal does not allow me to create separate 4.7. Should i therefore use my own SVN to distribute that new version? * Does anyone (bryght, Civicspace, etc) have an infrastructure in lpace to distribute backported modules and features, which is could use instead of roling my own (see above). * What is the status of allowing 4.7.2 branches for modules? Should I rather wait for that? µ-Bèr -- | Bèr Kessels | webschuur.com | Drupal, Joomla and Ruby on Rails web development | | Jabber & Google Talk: ber(a)jabber.webschuur.com | | http://bler.webschuur.com | http://www.webschuur.com |

If I need to file and monitor an issue for every little change, I'm unvolunteering. That's entirely too much work. I went ahead and started this about an hour ago, starting at Z and working my way up. I made sure revisions was checked and notified the author of the one I made fairly substantial formatting changes to. If someone doesn't like what I've done, they can always revert it. Mostly all I'm doing is adding a break tag and maybe moving things around just a bit so the new teaser makes sense. I'm not completely rewriting their descriptions unless I find one that's just horrible and then I'll talk to the maintainer first. Michelle

/delurk Hello, Everybody! I wanted to chime in on the subject of Drupal distribution profiles, ask a couple of questions, pimp my Drupal group relating to same (http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-distributions-strategic-cooperative) and solicit feedback on the lot. But first... YAY 5.0! YAY 5.0! YAY 5.0! I am SO ready for this beta! (and with THAT out of my system)... I really DON'T want to subject anyone to "lets just create a new web site and put all our information there" -- what I am hoping to do is be able to hand aggregate what information is available and put it in a central location (the group I created) myself. While I think it may be a worthwhile thing for those considering or actively developing a distribution profile to devote some part of that development time into focusing on the subject and collaborating with developers working on unrelated distributions, I am cognizant of how little it would take for such an effort to become extra work, rather than a means of saving work, so hopefully I can condense and consolidate the process a bit. My interest in this subject specifically stems from the time I spent posing as DeanSpace support and a couple of brief exchanges I had with Drumm on the subject at the time. In essence, having spent a short period installing DeanSpace for folks while chatting with them on AOL instant messenger, I discovered that the period of time consumed by the installation was an important and valuable opportunity to shape the user's experience with the product. Besides explaining how the installation worked as I put it together, I was also able to tell the user what other users were doing with the software and ask questions about what they hoped to do with it themselves, then show them (roughly) where to find the relevant administration functions and help them begin roughing out the vision they saw in their mind's eye. I don't really want to belabor the idea of installation as teaching experience, though, so much as explain that I'll be evangelizing the idea a little. Imagine, if you will, a series of Drupal distributions so comprehensive and coordinated that a novice web designer/site administrator could, having completed one installation, turn around and create a completely unrelated site based on a different distribution profile, using the skills and understanding developed during the first installation. An army of mini-Drupal distributions, branded and coordinated with the core distribution, marching across the face of the earth in a united front with the common goal of Drupal world domination, illuminating and facilitating the creation of unique and feature rich web sites tailored to specific markets while fostering user confidence and a general skill set that increases the pool of Drupal gurus available to assist new users and reducing the level of overall support required... (Shutting up, now) Back in the real-world, though, Dries really nailed it with his "we need to pre-herd the cats this will attract" post. Just a quick tour of the Drupal sphere will show that people are already talking about the "distribution profile" as labor-saving utility idea at least to a modest degree, and I can understand why they would. Consider the site designer who'd like a set of custom profiles to facilitate prototyping and deployment for new clients, or the hosting provider who'd like to automate client set up and offer a set of basic installation types, or the developer who just wants to knock-out a headless sandbox installation to save typing, prepopulate the database and set up utility modules. Clearly, none of these examples involve creating distributions developed for consumption by the general public and probably won't be intended to stand up over the long haul. But I would like to suggest that this utility be acknowledged and embraced with the caveat that it be clearly distinguished from distributions that will be made available for people to download and, potentially, generate support requests. That said, focus rightly belongs on distributions that potentially may occupy a directory next to "default" at some point. To that end, I wonder if it doesn't make sense to view the task of maintaining such distributions through the filter of "my distribution is still Drupal" -- in other words, to view developing distributions kind of like people view creating themes -- separate the presentation from the code. Core and contrib modules already have their own documentation, support and upgrade mechanisms in place and it makes sense to make use of them as much as possible. Keeping this distinction in mind also provides the added bonus of keeping focus where it belongs, with Drupal. While this will always be secondary to focusing on the requirements and functionality necessary to the market the distribution is developed for, "what's good for Drupal and, by implication, the collective sum of other distributions" should still trail a close second in a perfect world. Which brings me to note that thus far, installation profile development is still in it's infancy, the documentation written thus far is sparse and seemingly dated, and there isn't much in the API docs about the hooks involved. Thus I hope someone can take a moment and answer a couple of questions: 1) I number this mailing list, the support forums on drupal.org and it's sister site, groups, as potential sources where I might find folks talking about developing distribution profiles; I stay off of IRC because I can see myself doing nothing but keeping tabs on Drupal development full time, and I have to play with the software occasionally. Besides general RSS aggregation of syndicated nodes that might address the subject, though, is there anywhere else I should be looking that anyone can think of? 2) How closely are module installations and distributions related? I may answer this question in part, myself, since as soon as I finish this mail I am going to knock out a sandbox and create one using the documentation in the handbook. I just can't help but notice that the documentation references hooks I am not seeing in the API docs and so on. 3) Can anyone recommend any general-purpose reading for this subject (links?)? Again, I will do some digging on my own, but from experience (I generally create custom Windows installations before I reinstall and am learning how to accomplish this same end with Ubuntu, but I don't really see anything like a "best practices" list coming to mind between them). Finally, +1 to feeds/mailing lists enabled by default with the core distribution (and any other). I tend to suspect that prominently displaying a list of help resources at the end of the installation and then reinforcing this by making the same list readily accessible as part of the initial configuration may be a good idea. Having a feed or mailing list option enabled by default to channel support and the like to the correct destination would be even better, IMHO. So long as I'm rambling, one of my fondest wishes has always been for something like a meta-taxonomy for core feed categories (support, development, etc.) -- thus creating a kind of networked discussion area that would be automatically available/optional for newly created sites. I'll shut up, now, and close by pimping my "group for talking about Drupal distribution profile development groups" again (http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-distributions-strategic-cooperative)

node_access arbitrator in Drupal 5
by Earl Miles 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

This actually happened a couple of months ago, but I delayed announcing it because it needed a bug fix before it could be used, and that took awhile to get through the patching system. The upshot is that since it's been in awhile, those in the know (uh, I guess that's me and Moshe) have managed to create/update some modules to take advantage of this system. First, the updating modules link: http://drupal.org/node/64279#node_access Second, what you need to know: If your module doesn't touch the node_access table, good for you. You probably don't need to do anything. If your module does touch the node_access module, at least to write to it, you're going to be hideously broken. You need to very carefully read through the new system. Basically, the new system calls a function called node_access_acquire_grants() whenever a node is saved; your module can also call this function (For example, when you change a setting that causes access changes for many nodes). This function does calls hook_node_access_records with the node, and modules that have an interest return a list of access rules, including a 'priority'. Only rules with the highest priority are considered, the rest are thrown away. If no records are returned for the node at all, a simple 'all' grant is written for the node. For a couple of other examples, see the Forum Access and ACL modules. Forum Access does roughly what it sounds like it'll do; ACL provides an API to attach access control lists to nodes and maintain them. Forum Access uses ACL to provide a 'forum moderators' list that the current taxonomy access system can't do. The biggest benefit to these is that access control modules can co-exist, though they still need to be a little bit careful.

Drupal distributions
by Dries Buytaert 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hello world, soon, rather than late, we'll have to figure out how we want to support Drupal distributions so that things don't grow unwieldy to the point they do more damage than good. I wrote down my initial thoughts at http://buytaert.net/drupal-distributions. These thoughts will hopefully help guide the discussions ... -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Re: [development] Default core theme
by Omar Abdel-Wahab 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

I know this could be super late but I just wanted to say it. Nice job really from everyone, I liked the theme really much since you started talking about it in the mailing list, I was just too busy to give more eyeballs. Now that I did, I've some notes on the demo I seen on http://istyledthis.nl/and http://www.xcite-online.de/drupal : 1. Resizing the browser to a certain size will make the page vertically scrollable, not only this but the background for the right bar ends before the right bar itself ends, I think this is due to giving a DIV in the top area 100% width and it's the background image carrier. I think the background image might be split between multiple layers. 2. When viewed in Lynx or in Firefox with styles disabled, all page content appear with no spaces between which makes it hard to differentiate between blocks, this can be fixed easily putting few line breaks here and there. 3. If it's not now so when are we going to style buttons and input elements? A background image for buttons will make buttons shiny and really different and a hover for input elements in a la Mozilla style will make up the theme. 4. The page looks really great in the upper part, scroll down and you'll really lose it. This means that any long page will look ugly. I'd like to see the white lines between the content and the right and left bars to continue until the bottom. 5. The theme imports about 6-7 CSS files which means way much CSS files, this has effects on connections made per single page request. 6. It's really awesome, it's the best theme I've ever seen for Drupal. Hope this wasn't too much.

docs for new release system
by Derek Wright 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

hi folks, i know the documentation team is totally understaffed and overworked, so feel free to ignore this request. ;) also, i'm cross-posting to the devel list since i know many people there care about the new release system but probably aren't subscribed to the documentation list, and maybe someone from devel-land wants to help... the new release system is now mostly blocked on documentation. i'm not really going to have a chance to work on it for at least a few days, and i do have a few hours of code cleanup to do, too. if anyone here wants to help, i'd be *very* grateful if someone wanted to contribute by doing a first draft of any of the below docs. most of the info you need is already here: http://drupal.org/node/90436 additional text could be lifted from the handout i gave at drupalcon: http://drupal.org/files/new_release.pdf (though, a few of the details in the handout are now outdated, and the info in #90436 should be used whenever the 2 conflict). mostly, we just need someone to split up this existing text and put it into a form more easily digested by the various kinds of people interacting with the new system. i see the need for a few different kinds of docs: 1) docs for project maintainers on how to use the new system 1a) what tags and branches should be created in the CVS repo: - a subpage of http://drupal.org/node/22288 (probably as a re- write of http://drupal.org/node/17570) ? - re-write/update of http://drupal.org/node/1002 ? 1b) how to make release nodes: - new page, probably a subpage of http://drupal.org/node/7765 ? - perhaps as a re-write of http://drupal.org/node/22571 ? 2) docs for drupal users to understand the new version numbering scheme for contrib - rewrite of the section of http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info on contrib modules 3) very short front-page story node announcing when the system goes live that points to the other new/updated docs. bert boerland volunteered to try to make some charts/graphs relating to the new system. for example, perhaps a flow-chart of how a release goes from code in a developer's head or patches in the issue queue into the repo, how it gets tagged, turned into a release, and eventually deployed on someone's production site... (i guess, the exact diagrams are up to him). i'm not sure what images he'll create, or what the best location for them will be, but the flowchart idea would probably work nicely to supplement 1b in my list above. if anyone else is inspired to make pretty pictures about any of this, i'd be thrilled to review drafts of any images folks want to generate. my goal is for the UI to be self-explanatory, but if someone thought annotated screenshots would be helpful of the release node add form, that's another possibility... if there are any volunteers for any of this, please let me know. thanks! -derek p.s. [doc list only]: should i have just created this as an issue (or set of issues) in the documentation queue? i'm new to the doc list and don't have a good sense of the process and etiquette, yet.
