Connecting to multiple databases in 5.x
by Karen Stevenson 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Now that the settings.php file is write protected, the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/18429 no longer work to connect to multiple databases. I searched around but wasn't able to find anything on a recommended way to do this in 5.x. And, of course, the documentation on that page needs to be updated, too. I posted a comment on http://drupal.org/node/64279, but I'm not sure that was the best place to put it. Karen

You know what would be really cool for d.o?
by Earnie Boyd 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

I know this really should be a feature request but I'm not sure which issue tracker to put it in. If someone could point I'll be happy to. 1) I would like to see a Subscribe button on a particular issue so that I can easily subscribe to an issue. 2) I would like to see a user profile option for the issue tracker that sets a default subscription option for new modules added. Speaking of adding new modules, is there a subscription or list that announces the addition of new modules? Earnie

has this been discussed here?
by Eric Goldhagen 27 Dec '06

http://drupal.org/node/87145 I seem to have missed any discussion of this issue. I feel very strongly that a bad decision is being made based on bad reasoning. In my opinion the break tag is not broken and changing it is not helpful or wise. also, I think that the hostility shown in this follow-up thread http://drupal.org/node/105278 exposes some things about the direction the drupal community is heading that I find worrisome (and that I will write more about later, when I have the time) What is the value to the community of stepping on people that try to participate?; what is lost when people are pushed away by hostility and threats to delete comments and negate their valid and rationally expressed concerns? --Eric -- ------------------------------------------- Openflows Community Technology Lab, Inc.

Auto locale module (and an interesting bug(?))
by Gabor Hojtsy 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi All, I have been working on an automatic locale file import module, so that we can provide install profiles which automatically import the PO files for modules enabled, without any user intervention (turn on locale module, add language, file upload). The alpha quality code works, imports all PO files I have thrown at it. I have left two debug messages in the code, because I experienced very interesting database behaviour while testing the code, and would appreciate your feedback. Project here with CVS link: http://drupal.org/project/autolocale My problem is that although I do a SELECT on the system table and go through that list sequentially I get: # Handling themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine # Handling themes/garland/page.tpl.php # Handling modules/system/system.module # Importing modules/system/po/general.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-install.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-module.hu.po # Handling themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine # Handling themes/garland/page.tpl.php # Handling modules/system/system.module # Importing modules/system/po/general.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-install.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-module.hu.po # Handling modules/autolocale/autolocale.module # Handling modules/block/block.module # Handling modules/color/color.module # .... Seems like it does go through the phptemplate engine, the garland theme and the system module twice. I have absolutely no idea why it would do this, since these appear in the database only once. I would appreciate if someone would be able to test and provide tips. This module/install profile would invalidate the need to merge the smaller PO files used by translators and really only import needed strings finally. I am going to beta test the concept with the Hungarian translation if the above issue can be resolved. Have a merry christmas, Gabor (who is now off to christmas dinner :)

Story vs Page - Again
by Earnie Boyd 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

One of the things that has bugged the snot out of me is this story and page module. Not seeing a difference I went looking for what it the difference might be. Then I find a post by Steven Peck http://lists.drupal.org/archives/documentation/2006-08/msg00063.html that say basicly nothing. Certainly that is what appears to be. What is worse is they are both turned on and both can be deleted from the content types. I think that now page should be on by default and not allowed to be deleted; it becomes the require content type. I think that story should be removed from core and maintained as a contributed module as an example of how node modules can be created. I think doing these will help remove confusion from the beginning Dural experience. Earnie

Drupal 5.0 release schedule
by Dries Buytaert 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

Hello world, just a quick update to let you know what the current release plans look like. The current focus is to upgrade drupal.org to Drupal 5. Once we have tested Drupal 5.0 on drupal.org for at least one week, I'd like to roll a second release candidate (RC2), and release the final Drupal 5.0 release one or two days after that. This means that there are currently two important focus areas: 1. Upgrading and testing drupal.org: see http://drupal.org/node/105004 2. Fixing critical bugs Of course, this is pretty much the best case scenario. All of this is subject to change depending on how successul we are with (1) and (2). Thoughts? -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
