RE: [development] Re: [support] Drupal 4.6.6/4.5.8 security releases

I got both at the same time because I checked email and Drupal.org about the same time. Simplenews sends email for x time per cron run. The Security list is sent via Simplenews to allow for integration. In reality, there is no secure method to ensure that 'legitamte' site admins get notifications before hackers do. It's a shame you are disappointed. Please coordinate OFF LIST with the security team for a model you think would be more better faster stronger. ________________________________ From: development-bounces(a)drupal.org on behalf of Darrel O'Pry Sent: Mon 3/13/2006 3:45 PM To: development(a)drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] Re: [support] Drupal 4.6.6/4.5.8 security releases On Tue, 2006-03-14 at 00:24 +0100, Alejandro Exojo wrote: > El Martes, 14 de Marzo de 2006 01:03, Gerhard Killesreiter escribió: > > are now available.

New Commenting System at DailyKos
by Raven Brooks 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I know we are in 4.7 lockdown mode but it is worth everyone checking out the new commenting system that just got put in place at DailyKos. They aren't using Drupal of course but it may spur some nifty ideas to improve comments in 4.8 and beyond. The diary describing all of it is here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/3/13/25058/9474 Even without the nifty Ajax stuff it would be nice to see some of that stuff like comment ratings, auto-hide troll comments, etc make it into the core comments module. I'll crosspost in the forums shortly for further discussion but the site seems to be down right now. Raven Brooks President and Chair, BuyBlue.org Http://www.buyblue.org Vote with your wallet!

Re: [bug] autocomplete broken by Prototype library
by Nick Lewis 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Just wanted to throw my support in for yched's fix. I think its essential that Drupal fully support popular libraries like prototype. As is we've lost a lot of brilliant minds to frameworks like rails. From the standpoint of bringing in more experienced developers to work on drupal, offering full support of libraries like phototype is a high priority. Thanks for figuring this out wched... I hadn't realized the problem had been prototype and autocomplete bumping heads. -Nick Lewis http://nicklewis.smartcampaigns.com yched wrote: > Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/47557 > Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/47557 > > Project: Drupal > Version: cvs > Component: forms system > Category: bug reports > Priority: normal > Assigned to: Anonymous > Reported by: yched > Updated by: yched > Status: patch (code needs review) > > Well, the issue I'm dealing with did affect Firefox (1.5/win) - I didn't > check for IE or other browsers. > > > The patch has been tested to work on both FF and IE6. > > > As it is outlined in the posts you link to, we're not talking about a > drupal bug, but rather about allowing the use of a very useful yet > quite intrusive external lib. > > I'm aware that a 'won't fix' would be tempting for core devs here, Then > again, the workaround is so simple... > > > > > yched > > > > Previous comments: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:40:05 +0000 : yched > > Example : go to a node submission / edition form and type a new author > for the node. > > > According to the FireBug extension for Firefox, an error is raised on > line 259 of autocomplete.js : > > > matches[i].split is not a function > (seen on Firefox 1.5, btw.

Proposed Ubuntu delay for 6 weeks
by Khalid B 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

As we are pushing for 4.7 going out the door, Mark Shuttleworth is proposing a delay for the upcoming Ubuntu Dapper. As you know, Ubuntu is committed to a 6 month release cycle, and the release numbers are of yy.mm format (e.g. 05.10 for Breezy Badger). Now, there is a proposal to delay that by 1.5 months for testing, certification, localisation and "polish". https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2006-March/000734.html The way I read it is: what is more important: Quality or Punctuality?

Proposal to make drupal support RTL languages out of the box
by Munzir Taha 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi, No doubt drupal is a great piece of work and the people behind it have done a great job and we are all thankful to them. However, being the first time to deal with it, I faced many problems regarding Arabic support. I, and another friend, Mugtaba, decided to lend a hand as a reward. We began with the translation of 4.7beta branch and almost finished it. Then we turned to the problem of RTL/BiDi and found the work of Ayman who has thankfully made his own bidi-theme. We thought about it carefully and found that Drupal has the flexibility to support RTL for all the themes out of the box with a trivial modifications to drupal files. So, instead of having themes for RTL which is different than the themes for LTR, we would patch all the themes to support both RTL and LTR. The problem: In RTL languages the direction should be set to be from right to left and hence everything on the page should be mirrored horizontally. Graphical arrows that point to the right, should now point to the left. Things that float right, should now float left. padding-left values, should go to padding-right values and vice versa. Other rules which are not direction oriented would remain the same. The solution is to have a drupal_RTL.css file. I will shortly show an example of that file. This file should be loaded from common.inc in addition to drupal.css in case of RTL languages to override a few rules of the defaults. This way drupal would support RTL language and mambo and zope/plone won't have an advantage on this issue ;). // $Id: drupal_RTL.css, v 0.01 $ /* Override styles from drupal.css */ /* ** HTML elements */ table { direction: rtl; } th { text-align: right; padding-right: 0em; padding-left: 1em; } /* ** Menu styles */ ul.menu { text-align:right; } ul.menu li { margin: 0 0.5em 0 0; } //This rule uses a copy of the original image flipped horizontally. li.collapsed { list-style-image: url('images/menu-collapsed-rtl.png'); } I will attach a complete file. For now, temporary I put the logic into my own template.php like this <?php // $Id: template.php, v 0.01 $ /** * Catch and override the theme_stylesheet_import function from theme.inc */ function phptemplate_stylesheet_import($path, $media = 'all') { $rtl = array("ar", "fa", "he", "ur", "yi"); if (in_array(locale_initialize(), $rtl)) { if (file_exists(path_to_theme() . '/drupal_RTL.css')) { theme_add_style(path_to_theme() . '/drupal_RTL.css', $media); } if (file_exists(path_to_theme() . '/RTL.css')) { theme_add_style(path_to_theme() . '/RTL.css', $media); } } return theme_stylesheet_import($path, $media); } ?> Which would work but would require an unnecessary step of duplicating this same file in all the themes directories. When we make this clear in the documentation, the developers of the themes could make their design in a more or less symmetric way that doesn't even require a separate RTL.css file but when the need arises, the theme author or any one interested could very easily make that file available and official part of the theme. As an example, I quickly tested the theme fancy and here is a minimal file that works. // $Id: RTL.css, v 0.01 $ /* Override styles from style.css */ #logo img { float: right; } #menu { text-align: left; } #primary-tabs { float: left; } .bleft { width: 10px; } .bleft-img { background: #ce5003 url(images/cr.png) no-repeat top right; } .bright-img { background: #ce5003 url(images/cl.png) no-repeat top right; } Hope this would help solve the problem in a neat way. -- Munzir Taha Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-ar Maintainer of the OpenBugs project page at http://www.arabic-fedora.org/munzir/OpenBugs.html Master CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 Riyadh, SA

i know we're in a crunch for 4.7.0. i've been trying to help find, test, and fix what bugs i can, and i want to be in solidarity with the request by dries. that said, once the 4.7.0 rc goes out, there won't be any more new features added to any of 4.7.x, right? if so, any chance of sneaking in a small new feature for polls i wrote a patch for a few weeks ago? http://drupal.org/node/51561 patch needs review. any comments on that node most welcome. thanks, -derek (dww)

Attachment Indexing module.
by Adam Cooper 10 Mar '06

Hello all, I am currently writing an attachment indexing module. I've tried the swish-e module (and even converted it to 4.7) but it doesn't do what I would like it to do. I want all my search results to be integrated, not in separate tabs. So far I've created all the back end administration interface and I am now moving on to the actual work part but I am having problems with the file revisioning system. I need some clarification of the file and file_revisions table so I can write some more specific SQL. I would only like to index attachments if they are listed on the node but I have no idea how the 'list' column of file_revisions controls this behaviour. It seems that if it is a '0' then it isn't listed, but if it is anything else, it is. Is this correct? I realise that I also need to look at how flexinode handles its file uploads so that these can be indexed too. Is there any documentation on the structure of the DB? as I cannot find any and it would help. Thanks Adam P.S. If this is the wrong list then apologies. I could not find a module development list.
