Drupal 5.0 -- critical bugs
by Dries Buytaert 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hello world, Here is an overview of the critical issues that need fixing before we can release Drupal 5.0: http://drupal.org/project/issues? projects=3060&versions=96923,100201,94737&categories=bug,task&priorities =1&states=1,8,13,14 It would be great if we could release by Xmas. To do so, we'll have to get a first RC out _real_ soon. Maybe we can put in a little bit more effort now, so we get to relax around Xmas? Let's _all_ focus on the _critical_ bugs this week? :) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Re: [development] General token parser (API), does it exist?
by Nathaniel Catchpole 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

This sounds related to a feature request I put in on the taxonomy module this afternoon: http://drupal.org/node/101697 I guess a similar thing would be something like an option to change what's used for /node/ from core (say to /article/[nid] or /story/[nid]) rather than aliasing. If that's the same thing that Bèr mentioned I could see it being really useful.

api.drupal.org enhancements
by Chad Phillips -- Apartment Lines 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

normally i'd just leave this as a project feature request, but since it concerns the future of api.drupal.org, i thought i'd at least bring it to everyone's attention: http://drupal.org/node/101308 -- make api objects nodes Description discussion with some fellow devs has led me to explore the idea of making the api module run through the node system -- ie, any api 'objects' (functions, files, constants, topics, php functions, etc.) would be mapped to one object per node. ADVANTAGES: 1. more robust searching for free: the main documentation would be made the body of the node, so regular searches via search module would provide another search vector. 2. comments: users would be able to add comments to further clarify the doc, ala php.net 3. bookmarks: using bookmark module, users could have a handy block of links to their most used doc sections. 4. ratings/reviews: using voting modules, posted comments could be community moderated by popularity ...and probably half a million other things we get for free, or are easily accessible, because we are interfacing with drupal's primary content system. DISADVANTAGES: 1. performance hit: going through the node system *could* be slower than the current system, which might slow down the doc site for everybody. 2. more code to maintain: the module will probably get even more complex if we take this route. 3. more site maintainance: if we're installing other contrib modules to get some of the above features, then it will be more maintenance/ upgrade work for the api.drupal.org folks. if you have any insights, please post them to the issue listed above! thanks, hunmonk

Controlling User Disk Usage
by Drupal Designs 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi, I am looking to see if there is any way one can have disk usage limit set per user? Basically wanted to know what is the best way to implement payment levels (monthly membership) based on disk usage needs for a user? Is there anything available? If not, what is the best way to do it? Would appreciate if the core dev team can help me on this: a) I do have a Client who can sponsor the development b) We do have the resources who can undertake the development and contribute it back to the community c) We want to to know if anyone is working on a similar thing? If so, we would like to know if the solution will be available anytime soon? I was also checking with Mario who posted a similar thread http://drupal.org/node/93210. Mario replied back that he has also not got any answers.

api.drupal.org on Drupal 5
by Chad Phillips -- Apartment Lines 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

ladies and gentlemen, announcing the new and slightly improved api.module for Drupal 5! http://api-drupal.pajunas.com/ drumm supplied the bulk of the Drupal 5 conversion code, and also introduced a spiffy new tabbed menu system for the module, which allows users to view different Drupal versions of the same resource with a single click. after a few days of tidying up drumm's initial code, and adding a few other trimmings, we're ready for some good beta testing. if you can, please check out the beta site above and report any bugs you find under the bug section at http://drupal.org/project/api once we've fixed any remaining critical bugs, i'd like to get api.drupal.org ported to Drupal 5. i have two main goals to accomplish with API module: 1. get the current Drupal 5 implementation running smoothly. 2. add any new features which will assist in making a totally local deployment of the module easier. i've already spoken to several people about other feature requests, and there are some good ideas out there, but i can only commit to the above two things for sure. if any patches for new features appear in the queue, though, i will certainly give them some love... :)

Module no longer appears in modules list?
by Jason Levitt 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Not sure if it's ok to post about this here, but my module no longer appears on the 4.7.x module list. I think it has something to do with nightly builds that Drupal is creating (even though I haven't changed anything recently). So, my module (yahoo_bbauth), http://drupal.org/project/yahoo_bbauth used to appear here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name but not longer does. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

taxonomy_link doesn't make sense and link_alter hook requires more context.
by adrian rossouw 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I'm sending this in mail form, as I'm currently in an airplane , and i didn't trust myself to remember to post about it later =) We have a link hook for a reason, yet it's impossible to add links to the terms. ( i wanted to add a link to the user's blog, instead of it cluttering up the comments / read more.). From the comments : > * if (module_exists('taxonomy')) { > * $this->links(taxonomy_link('taxonomy terms', $node)); > * } Umm. this doesn't make sense, as we don't use objects in drupal, and we have no 'links' method defined for any object. Why should taxonomy link be called any differently from any other link hook ? > function taxonomy_link($type, $node = NULL) { > if ($type == 'taxonomy terms' && $node != NULL) { That kind of makes sense, Except we expressly are supposed to not call it with module_invoke_all, which means 'taxonomy terms' is completely pointless in this case. It gets even more pointless later. > // We call this hook again because some modules and themes call > taxonomy_link('taxonomy terms') directly > foreach (module_implements('link_alter') AS $module) { > $function = $module .'_link_alter'; > $function($node, $links); > } My point is they shouldn't be. calling it directly. Also, what's so special about this snippet of code that we can't wrap it in drupal_get_links($links_id, $object) ? It's far more consistent that way, and that could be done in themes. The other GLARING issue is that link alter doesn't have the link type as one of the parameters. Imagine trying to do a form_alter if you didn't even know which form you were busy altering? Crazy, right. I hope to science it's not too late to change this. As it depreciates the usefulness of the _links imo.

Question about Forms API?
by Richard Morse 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi! I have a question about the forms api -- if this is not the best place to ask it, please let me know where I should. I want to be able to add an element to a form which is _not_ in the 'edit[]' space. Specifically, I need to be able to set the 'q' item so that it will not be lost across a GET form submission if the site is not using clean urls. Any suggestions of where to look for how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ricky
