As the person who started this, I suppose I should respond. I don't expect that what I say in #drupal-support is private, but it was disconcerting finding them posted up on the web with no warning. If it's going to be on the web, I'd like to know who's putting it up there and have some method of having things removed that I don't want posted. In this case, I was doing a Google search on my family website. It's not a top secret site or anything, but I do try to avoid having it in the search engines and I would prefer not having mention of it logged on the web. I've got no problem with things being logged on peoples' personal computers. I would just prefer they not post the logs onto the web. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to ask. And, yes, I realize that once something is said in IRC I can't stop it from getting out. But I think most people in the channel are reasonable enough to not use their logs in a way that upsets others if they are aware of it. Michelle

writing multi site docs
by Anisa 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

I am posting this on the devel list as well, no worries, this is the only time I will post here. Please send all replies to me personally or to the doc list ONLY. No spamming the devel list! :) I take responsibility for this post, but I won't for yours. ;) I did want to let you all know that multi site docs are under development. Rough drafts are here: http://drupal.mystavash.net/node/3 Boris Mann and several others on the docs list have been amazing in providing feedback on these, but more is needed. They're almost done! Just a little more. Please pay particular attention to Step 3, which is the dreaded pointing section everyone has trouble with. Right now I am in particular need of information about how to edit the apache httd.conf, and how to use htaccess (yes, you can argue with me over this on the docs list.) Comments for annonymous users are enabled on the site, user registration is not. It goes without saying that these are ROUGH DRAFTS. Please do not use them to actually set up your multi site installation. Again, please send all replies to me personally or to the doc list ONLY. No spamming the devel list! :) Sorry for the interruption. Please do go back to making a shiny shiny 5.0!

Non-GPLed Icons in our CVS repo
by Gerhard Killesreiter 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi there, there doesn't seem to have been any move to replace CC licensed icons by GPLed ones. I find this a bit disturbing and I think it shows much disregard towards the creators of the icons, the terms of our repository, the maintainer of said repository and/or all of the above. Since the maintainers of the contrib modules (I dont list the modules since I am not sure I'd get all of them) are not willing or able to act, I'll simply remove the icons some time next week. I hope the maintainers of the modules will see this as an opportunity to go and look for GPLed icons. Cheers, Gerhard Contrib CVS maintainer P.S.: Don't start another "can't we use another license for icons" thread.

Module retirement?
by AjK 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi All, Quick(ish) question. I've recently taken over the Paypal_Framework (PPF) module from Jeff. Having looked over it, it's apparent it needs some hefty updating in the database schema department, mainly due to the fact the Paypal IPN specification has moved on a lot and the module hasn't. Anyway, cut to the chase. Lee McLoughlin (http://drupal.org/user/36398) has been working on an alternate Paypal system that clearly supersedes the current PPF module in terms of both functionality and compliance with the Paypal IPN specification. Lee recently got contrib CVS access and will be putting this module up for all to use (currently published on his own site at http://lmmrtech.com/lm_paypal_module_for_drupal) As Gerhard so often tries, with granting CVS access, to avoid duplication I too also take this view. But what's the developers community view on suggesting that such a long standing module advertises "Retiring, see .... module" on it's project page? It's hard to gauge a modules popularity but I can imagine that this particular module may be widely used (esp. given two other module, both lacking in TLC themselves). On a related note, I also maintain Janode, a "knock together" for something I needed at the time. Given CCK is on it's way to Core and it has a weblinks type, this is another class of module that really ought to retire and my time spent providing feature patches to the later if I want some functionality. Again, how wide spread is your module? The only real way I can consider finding out is putting a notice on the project page and asking the user community to place issues on an intended module retirement for their feedback/comments (now is a good time to do this to catch users coming to get Drupal 5 versions of a module). All my modules are Drupal 5 ready (except PPF) but should they continue given serious duplication exists? Right now I'm spending my free time reviewing patches and providing patches for Core to help move along the Drupal 5 release process. But, as time starts to free up somewhat, I'd rather be spending my time doing feature work on other stuff (or brand new work for things that just don't exist) than competing with them (esp. Core related things like CCK/weblinks). I don't want to ditch/retire a module on a whim but to sum up: what's a responsible position, as a module maintainer, to take where obvious (big) duplication is starting given you can see a better route (but may not be so good a route for the user community)? regards, --AjK (sorry, it wasn't so "quickish" at all and if replying please <snip> it where appropriate)

Re: [development] Controlling whether WYSIWYG editors are viewed - Forms feature request.
by Metzler, David 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

>Isn't this the exact reason that FAPI supports extensible element types via hook_elements()? Possibly, but I'm pointing out that there are different data types in Drupal core. These form elements don't have different element types, because by default they don't behave differently. That's one of the reason that modules like TinyMCE have to encorperate all these features to suppress their invocation in some forms. Not every textarea in core is meant for html data, so you have to get TincyMCE to turn itself off whenever there is data in a form that it could mess up. Custom element types imply different behavior. We could expect module developers to form alter every form in core, but that's a lot of work for module developers to be expected to go to, when their trying to extend existing functionality with form elements. I could see writing a form_alter hook that redefined all form element types with a particualar #datatype attribute to another and then implementing the new functionality in hook_element. Sounds like a recipe for flexibilty. In short I guess I don't think of hook elements as solving the same problem. Ultimately I think some of us are asking for some discernable difference between the "Sepecific Pages" textbox in Admin/Block and the "Footer Message" in admin/settings general settings. We want to turn tincymce on for one, but off for the other in some systemic way that doesn't require insane form_alter hooks, or other programming intesnive work arounds. I do believe that this will pave the way for improved usability within drupal core.

Re: [development] Controlling whether WYSIWYG editors are viewed - Forms feature request.

>There was a thread in the issue queue recently about adding a flag to textareas that the >module author could apply or not, which RTEs (TinyMCE, FCKeditor, etc.) could then hook >onto to decide where they should or should not be used. This got me thinking that most of the time the problem with the WYSIWG editor being displayed all the time was that a lot of the time it screws up data that wasn't supposed to be HTML to start with. I've posted an alernative solution here that I've detailed in the following issue: http://drupal.org/node/87806 Basically it's to standardize how we tell the forms api and therefor contrib modules, what kind of data is supposed to be in the text area. Works for Rich Text editors, Color pickers, CSS editors, etc.
