adding block in 5.0 - title missing
by Jakub Suchy 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hi, i would like to just ask, if it is a bug when you are creating new block in Drupal 5.0 and Title input of a block is missing? So it creates a block without title and you must manually configure block and set title. Should i create bug report? Thanks, Jakub

5.0-dev (HEAD) now installed on scratch.drupal.org -- please test
by Derek Wright 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

FYI: http://drupal.org/node/105004 http://scratch.drupal.org is now running the latest copy of core (HEAD, actually, not just RC1, since there have been some important bugs already fixed since RC1). we were able to do this since i finished porting project* to the 5.x API, which was the last big hurdle. this is an important milestone on the way to a 5.0 stable release... first scratch.d.o, then live on d.o itself, then eventually the official release. meanwhile, all y'all module and theme maintainers, *PLEASE* help test the 5.0 port of the release system... it's going to suck if we upgrade d.o to 5.0 and then all of a sudden we're all freaked out because some important element of the release infrastructure isn't working right. to make this as easy as possible for you, i've resurrected the scratch CVS repository, and pointed the release system on scratch.drupal.org to interact with that. find out more here: http://drupal.org/node/105016 thanks for caring, and happy holidays... ;) -derek (dww)

Too many discrete groupings only serve to confuse and dilute the usefulness of the feature. In any given install there are very very few groupings of modules that will work and play well together in such a grouping.

This is a step. We as a community need to see what develops out of the initial setup. Now is not the time to leap off the bridge we just built. Just because something leverages the taxonomy system does not mean it cooperates, plays well with or bears anything but a passing relationship to any other taxonomy based module. It just means it needs taxonomy from core turned on. Is this taxonomy module a menu? A section module? A breadcrumb module? A theme module? A forum access module? Each change in how things interoperate brings us knowledge and experience. So far we have a consistent policy. Let's see what we learn from this in the 5.0 release and apply that to the 6.0 release. I suspect that we will learn that this was pretty close to what we do for 6.0 but we'll see as 5.0 will bring us a whole new realm of people, backgrounds and experiences.

4.7.5 release
by Gerhard Killesreiter 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi there, I want to release a 4.7.5 before Chistmas, but I am running a bit low on time, so it might be next week. I've committed all the issues with "ready to go" patches, but I think there are a few bugs which would be nice to fix and need a review and testing: http://drupal.org/node/102962 http://drupal.org/node/87372 http://drupal.org/node/82397 and of course the rest of http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=97573,94735,94733,9… Cheers, Gerhard

See the comments at http://drupal.org/node/101009 > I assume that this is by design and I should not worry about it. But it > does not conform to the documentation. Nothing to worry about. Can you give a reference to the documentation that has confused you? We need to update any documentation that may be confusing. Earnie --- Ah, the comments do explain, but this would appear to be a common question better addressed on the page itself. I would condense webchick's comment here ( http://drupal.org/node/101009#comment-178007) to eliminate confusion. Here's suggested text correction: "You should not put anything else here. Please note that the quotes are required; some PHP versions are more sensitive to the punctuation than others. When .info files are committed to CVS, this tag will automatically be expanded to express the correct version information." - Ken

cvs update: new files are missing?
by Augustin (Beginner) 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hello, I have a local copy of drupal HEAD created with cvs, so that by doing: cvs update I can get up to date with the latest development. However, when I do it, the whole themes/garland/ directory is missing from my local copy. The garland theme is present when I download the tarball (development snapshot or RC1) but not by updating via cvs. Am I missing a flag or something? I have found a workaround by downloading a fresh copy of HEAD: cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -d head.drupal drupal so now, I have what I want. But I would like to understand why it didn't work by doing cvs update. The problem might come up again when some other files are added to HEAD. Thanks, Augustin. -- http://www.wechange.org/ Because we and the world need to change. http://www.reuniting.info/ Intimate Relationships, peace and harmony in the couple.

Confused: package value of info files
by Earnie Boyd 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

I have submitted a few info files for inclusion in the module and have at times pointed to node/101009 by the maintainers to say that package shouldn't be given. However, node/64279 doesn't state that but instead suggest "Your arbitrary grouping string" as the value. http://drupal.org/node/64279 http://drupal.org/node/101009 Can we have a consensus for what value should be given for 5.0 to package and can we update both nodes with the consensus? I think that the original idea was for package to be used by those module packages that contain more than one module to group their package together. However the design of the 5.0 menu treats package more as a category or package type. Should there be a defined list of what the value of package should be? There is a list in suggested values in the two nodes listed above but one important one is Taxonomy and it isn't listed. There are several modules that could be grouped under Taxonomy and I think that would be a good thing. If someone, as I have, decides to install every module in their test system to evaluate the validity of each module it quickly becomes a matter of importance for the ``Other'' package to be reduced. The Other category is currently long list. Earnie Boyd

i, too, was puzzled by this, and ended up concluding that the "$Name $" trick didn't work. further discussions on IRC and some playing around revealed that, at least in my case, it only worked after i had both committed that to the .info file, then pulled a completely fresh checkout of the module (checkout, not update!). i think the deal is that CVS name expansion doesn't work for updates? perhaps Derek will grace us with the actual mechanics... :) it might be a good idea to get something in the official doc about how the name expansion works exactly, because it's certainly not self- evident. :) chad On Dec 21, 2006, at 8:20 AM, Ken Rickard wrote: > OK, now I'm confused, since the standard changed slightly since I > wrote my .info file. > > I changed the version string to version = "$Name" and committed the > change. > > When I then run cvs update, the string in the info file returns as: > > version = "$Name: $" > > I assume that this is by design and I should not worry about it. > But it does not conform to the documentation. > > References: > http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=48687 > http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/mysite/ > mysite.info?r1=1.1.2.1&r2=1.1.2.2 > > > Ken Rickard > agentrickard
