Re: [development] Usability: module idea
by Omar Abdel-Wahab 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

Dries, I liked the idea much. Forget about the Windows XP part. I believe a error module is a great idea. Lots of ideas came to my mind when I read your message. I think we can also allow the administrator to select modes of error messages, i.e. minimal, medium and full. A link to drupal.org to describe an error message is a great idea. I think I got enough time to develop this. I just need to consolidate the whole thing. What do you guys think? Omar

Added new files on DRUPAL-4-7 -> a mess
by Hannes Lilljequist 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

Hello! I need a CVS guru to help me clean up a mess I seem to have made... I added a new module: image_enhanced_scaling (which is awesome by the way!) to CVS. As i developed it for 4.7 and I consider it production stable I committed it to the DRUPAL-4-7 branch right away. Now I can't get into the MAIN branch at all. What should I do? For your information I'm using a GUI app on Mac called MacCVSClient X. I have checked out two separate versions of the respository: one tag-less (= MAIN?) and one with DRUPAL-4-7. No matter which I use to commit the files, they end up with the DRUPAL-4-7 tag. If someone with enough priviliges would make a new revision of the files in the MAIN branch, I would not be offended... Any help appreciated! :) Thanks, Hannes Lilljequist

Usability: module idea
by Dries Buytaert 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

The Drupal APC usability report (http://drupal.org/node/83806) has several suggestions for improving error messages, help texts, etc. For example, on page 13 ('detect errors automatically') they recommend: consider providing a link to help besides error message or provide an option for more verbose error reporting. Maybe it would be a good idea to create a small module that extends help text and error messages with a rating widget? "Was this error message useful? [*****]" The response should get send to Drupal.org and then we can prioritize problematic messages. We could ship this module with the Drupal 5.0 betas but leave it out once the final release ships. Seems like a fun little module that could make a huge difference. Ideal for people who want to learn jQuery and AJAX. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Usability task: vocabulary creation form
by Dries Buytaert 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

Hello, the Drupal APC usability report (http://drupal.org/node/83806) states that the vocabulary creation form could use some work (page 16-17): "Some forms (eg vocabulary creation) could use additional text to explain the purpose of some of the fields that they contain.". Elsewhere they state: "The purpose of some fields (eg hierarchy) found within the vocabulary creation form are somewhat ambiguous, and the descriptive text provided does not provide clarity. A group of checkboxes and their purpose is also somewhat ambiguous. Some work could be done to combine the text found on the main categories administration page with the text found on this form.". Facts: - Creating a vocabulary is a really popular task. - The form to create a vocabulary is not self-explanatory and scares people away. Anyone cares to look into this? It seems that with a little bit of work, we could make a difference for thousands of people. I'd love to see this fixed in Drupal 5.0. Thanks, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Re: [development] install should optionally create the database

In another post, Dries said he thought it was worth it, so I guess we're outvoted. ;) I guess he's right that it would be nice to have the choice. If it would work on my system, I wouldn't mind having the db created just to make test sites easier. I'm curious, though, is there anyone out there on shared hosting that this would work for? Both A Small Orange and Site5 that I've been on have a special interface for creating databases. I can't even create a new one through SQLYog. Michelle

This will > save our time (as new > dev), save core dev time and save much email space. http://buytaert.net/roadmap Short version. The roadmap is what people who contribute code (themselves or pay others) work on. Carry through the patch. Discuss and refine as the development cycle progresses through freeze. ------------ To know and understand the current Development trends, there is no substitute for involvement and / or auditing of the Drupal development list which takes time. We do not have a dedicated person/volunteer to substitute for an equivelent kernel trap site as the Linux kernel project does. There is a synopsis list site somewhere. And someone will link to it but it is still in it's early stages. There is also the devlopment list archives which are searchable. To understand the direction Drupal is going it is important for people to check out the project mission. This is the very first link you will find on the handbooks page on Drupal.org This will help get you started on the project direction. http://drupal.org/History-mission-and-community > http://drupal.org/mission > http://drupal.org/principles Also, common misunderstanding. There is no 'core dev' group. There are active and involved developers who work pretty much on core code. There are those core module maintainers which are responsible for certain core modules. But there isn't a core dev team per se. This is also covered under the above link here: > http://drupal.org/node/21778 I hope these links help clear up some confusion. -sp

Drupal 5.x Administer Page very difficult
by Drupal Indonesia 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

Hi, There are many place to configure Drupal module now. I suggest we don't use administer-setting anymore. All configuration should be put on the administer-modules page. i.e, when user click on administer-module-profiles then the Profile.module setting page displayed! Jonathan.

Re: [development] Drupal 5.x Installation is Bad!
by Michelle Cox 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

On 10/11/2006 2:28:52 AM, Drupal Indonesia (support(a)drupal-id.com) wrote: > Now, how can Drupal 4.7.3 create tabel for me if the db username has no > rights to create table? > Isn't that a security risk? > Or just remove the db username (with create DB rights) after fresh > installation. Simply. Creating tables and creating databases are two totally different animals. As said in other responses, creating a database takes a higher class of user. On my host, creating a DB must be done through their version of cPanel so Drupal couldn't do it anyway. Plus, you don't always want Drupal to use a new database. Many people use a DB that's shared with other apps. I think the installer in 5.x is a great improvement as it creates the _tables_ for you. That's a much harder task than making a database, especially if you use prefixes. Not creating the DB doesn't make it bad at all. Michelle
