Multilingual Drupal working group
by Jose A. Reyero 14 May '06

14 May '06

Hi all, Following Boris' suggestion in the latest thread about Drupal + i18n in this mailing list, I think we need some kind of working group to focus on this task. For which I'd like to appoint the same people he does + ... anyone else interested? Boris Mann wrote: ***************** I agree that no hacks/patches should be the main goal for clean multi- lingual solutions. Actually, a dedicated multi-lingual support team is probably a good idea -- Jose, Ber, Ben, Mike Gifford, Khalid, Development Seed off the top of my head, with Jose with my nomination for lead (he's been living the pain since something like 4.5) -- What do you guys need in terms of support from Drupal.org in order to move forward? ***************** I think we could start by preparing a nice DEP - Which I am already doing- , and then, after discussing about the architecture, modules, etc, be ready to start producing code as soon as Drupal 4.7 is out and the development is open again. Then we'd need some repository in which we could branch the code and work together so we can later merge all the changes back into Drupal, a test site, and some communications channel -forum, mailing list, plain email?- to coordinate. So, for the next days I'll be picking ideas from all the posts that have been written about the issue, and then I'll be posting some DEP draft... Best regards, Jose

Drupal x.x.0 freeze date
by Neil Drumm 04 May '06

04 May '06

What does everyone think of hard feature freeze on September 1st? That gives us approximately 4 months of development time. A good time for a release after that would be one to two months later, but in reality it would be "when it is ready." That is only 4 months and I am seeing a lot of ways we want to break everything; this will probably be 4.8 and not 5.0. I don't think making roadmaps for contributions we can't control is too productive, but if we did have a roadmap, we would have a clear idea of what we can call 5.0. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com/

cvs non-branch tags
by Morten Wulff 03 May '06

03 May '06

Is it possible to add non-branch tags to modules in the /contributions? I'm about to make a major update of banner.module and I would like to mark the latest "known good" version. When I try to tag using TortoiseCVS, I get the following errors: --begin-- In D:\projekter\drupal\drupal-HEAD\modules\banner: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "--lf" "tag" "-c" "pre-node-conversion-20060417" "."

Drupal Test Suite
by Nimish Pachapurkar 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hello, Some months ago, I had inquired about the current state of the Drupal test suite in this forum. At that time there were some issues in running the simpletest module for Drupal 4.6.5. A team at SpikeSource, Inc. (http://www.spikesource.com) - where I work - has recently developed a test suite for Drupal that comprises of 5925 functional tests that exercise more than 50% of the code. This test suite runs against both MySQL and PostgreSQL back ends. The test suite is developed using following open source tools: * TestGen4Web: Used for recording user actions through browser and then translating them into SimpleTest test cases. http://developer.spikesource.com/projects/testgen4web/ * SimpleTest: PHP unit and functional testing tool. (http://www.lastcraft.com/simple_test.php) * PHPCoverage: PHP line coverage measurement tool. (http://developer.spikesource.com/projects/phpcoverage/) Currently, the test suite works against a deployed and configured instance of Drupal 4.6.6 with 99.98% tests passing. (SimpleTest counts each assertion as a test case.) The test suite covers following modules in addition to the core modules. * article * event * fckeditor * flexinode * image * img_assist We would like to contribute this test suite so that more people can add to it and improve it. Please let me know if anyone might be interested in taking a look at it and carrying this discussion forward. Thanks, Nimish -- SpikeSource, Inc.

Q: CVS tags best practice
by Dave Cohen 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi, Now that Drupal has branched DRUPAL-4-7 (a good thing), I have a question about how to best keep my sites up to date. Let's say I've checked out my Drupal with: $ cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal \ checkout drupal Then in my modules directory, I've checked out one or more modules: $ cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.Drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib \ checkout contributions/modules/ecommerce drupal/modules/ecommerce Now that Drupal has the DRUPAL-4-7 tag, I want to go into drupal/ and run: $ cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-4-7 The trouble is, this deletes the ecommerce module, and any other module I've checked out that does not have the DRUPAL-4-7 branch. There was a post not long where someone had tagged (not branched) their module has DRUPAL-4-7. This caused confusion and was deemed a bad thing. I now think that is a very smart thing, and all modules should have that tag until they see fit to branch (which should be now, since drupal has branched). If every module had the tag, it would solve my problem. But is there a better way? I'm no CVS expert. Is there a trick to get it to use the DRUPAL-4-7 tag only where it exists, and the HEAD tag otherwise? Thanks in advance for not responding "svn is so much better than cvs" or "bz is so much better than svn" or "we wouldn't have this problem if we used my cousin Sally's revision control system". I know cousin Sally's RCS is better than CVS, but until drupal.org uses it, I don't care. ;) -Dave

Aggregator2 / Podcast Aggregator
by Rob Barreca 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

I'm implementing a podcast aggregator and I'm working with Agg2. I was going to modify aggregator2_parse_items() to pull the <ENCLOSURE> (which contains the podcast mp3 or whatever) and other fields out of the RSS feed and add them to the agg2_item type. But I feel that the following might be a better solution and would like some feedback. Would it be worthwhile to add an invoke_all call for '_parse_items' and pass the $items to that when parsing new RSS items? This would allow other modules to react when agg2 does an update as at the nodeapi level, you can't access any info that was in the RSS feed that agg2 isn't already sending to the database. Thanks for any input. -- Rob Roy Barreca Electronic Insight Corporation 12526 High Bluff Drive, Suite 300 San Diego, CA 92130 http://www.electronicinsight.com rob(a)electronicinsight.com

Best practice for editing multiple nodes on a page
by Scott White 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

I am working on a bug in the acidfree module. http://drupal.org/node/59439 I have tracked down the issue to a conflict between the path.module the way acidfree edits multiple images at once. Acidfree calls node_load for many images in an album to create a page that allows the user to move/rename/delete many items at once. The problem is that when hook_nodeapi is called it ends up creating a form that does not save the same a single node. Is there a normal/approved/easy method for editing multiple nodes on a page? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can think of several ways to patch the problem, but I would prefer to submit a 'correct' fix. Thanks- Scott White (wpd) White Paper Designs

using taxonomy_node_get_terms
by Craig 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

In taxonomy_node_get_terms ( http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/taxonomy_node_get_terms ), it looks as if the query returns rows ordered by vocab weight then term weight. I want to get the first row returned from this query (the "lightest"). However, it looks as if the rows are reordered when put into the $terms[$nid] associative array with a key $term->$key. How do I extract the term that was at the top of the original query? I reailze I could write my own query, but would like to first try and use what's already available. Thanks, Craig __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
