Inventory Management module
by "Schultz Consult - [René Madsen]" 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi, I'm searching for developers, who might would like to help with making the inventory management modul ready for druapl 5.0 The module is not completly finished for drupal 4.7, but it will soon be ready, but I would like to have it tested and would like some feedback. http://drupal.org/project/inventorymangement is the address. It would also be greate if someone else would contribute to the module, since I'm the only developer at the moment. -- Best Regards René Madsen

Re: [development] Upload pictures directly from node (not from EDITpage)
by Metzler, David 02 Nov '06

For the future: This type of question is best answered on the support list. I'm on both lists, so I'd be happy to coninue this discussion on the support list if you don't mind. If you're clear (from the support list) that drupal doesn't do what you're looking for you might consider adding a feature request on drupal an appropriate contrib module? In regards to your question: Img_assist (image assist) module is provides the functionality, but its still from the edit page. Can't really answer your question without knowing: 1. What would you want drupal to do with the images attached to a node? In what way are they attached? If you don't have an editing context, how would drupal know where to put the image on the page? 2. What is the problem with doing this on the edit page? 3. Have you thought of this problem on other ways? Are you trying to create a gallery (there are modules for that), or are you trying to publish a page, or upload an image for use within a page? 4. Are you familiar with the wysiwig editors used in drupal such as tincymce? These may offer features that you're looking for. ________________________________ From: development-bounces(a)drupal.org [mailto:development-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of marcob Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 7:17 AM To: development(a)drupal.org Subject: [development] Upload pictures directly from node (not from EDITpage) Howdy, i followed the support list for some time, but this is my first post, so first of all my big up to all the people who use their for making Drupal a better place :) My support question: Upload pictures directly from node (not from EDIT page) can anyone tell if there actually is a way to let users upload/attach images to posts (nodes) directly from the node page? Now all (?) the image modules require users to go through the EDIT form. What i mean instead is the very classic/basic "upload an image" field *directly* on node page. The closest thing i found is the Image_tab.module: it adds an "add images" tab to the desired nodes. Still i reckon the easiest thing for users is the upload form on node page. Also the module is still cvs and not finalized for 4.7 yet and quite buggy... Please, any hint greatly apreciated! Cheers, Marco

Multiple drop-down boxes for 1 category
by Ámon Tamás 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hello, I have a vocabulary with multiple (or single) hierarchy. For example this: animals -cows -dogs -rats colors -red -purple -white etc. If I add a node with this vocabulary, I like two drop-down boxes: First with animals, colors, and when it is change, I like to change the second drop-down box with the firsts sub-categories with ajax. With which hook can I change it? Or there is a similar module? (This is similar this: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.html-quickform-hi…) -- Ámon Tamás http://amon.hu

RFC: debate on branches and versions in the new release system
by Derek Wright 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

a healthy debate has sprung up between kjartan and myself on what the "main" branches compatible with a given version of core (e.g. the "DRUPAL-5" branches) should mean in the new release system. after a few email exchanges and a few debates on IRC, it seems like dries, webchick, and a few others are fairly happy with the current implementation. however, dries suggested i write up the debate and send it to the devel list for input... request for comments: http://drupal.org/node/92452 thanks, -derek (dww) p.s. this is one of the *last* things standing in the way of deploying the new system. all the major reviews are now done, and i've only got a few hours of touch-up work to do. once this debate is resolved and i finish off these minor updates, documentation is the only thing standing between us and the happy new world of versioned releases. ;) therefore, please speak-up soon if you care about this debate, since the window for discussion will be relatively short. thanks.

Drupal 5 release schedule: update
by Dries Buytaert 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hello world, it has been exactly two months since the start of the Drupal code freeze: http://drupal.org/drupal-5.0.0-code-freeze As the development cycle was only 3 months, a 2 month code freeze should have given you plenty of time to upgrade some of your themes and modules. If you haven't upgraded your modules/themes yet, I wouldn't wait too long. While I want at least 2-4 weeks of public beta testing, there are only 3 critical bugs at this point in time. http://drupal.org/project/issues? projects=3060&versions=10195,9902,9842,9753,9728,6487&categories=bug&pri orities=1&states=1,8,13,14 Chances are that we'll need fewer betas/RCs than we had for Drupal 4.7. Also, now we're in beta mode, we're going to be a lot more strict with regard to usability patches. Small usability patches and documentation improvements can still go in, but larger usability patches are likely to be postponed until Drupal 6.0. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

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
