Hook access confusion?
by Bèr Kessels 15 May '06

15 May '06

What I want to achieve is simple: Allow full CRUD permissions for certain node types. (Create Read Update Delete). For a patch look here http://drupal.org/node/53772 . For discussion too. The problem is, that not all modules seem to respect the view part (is that true?) when it comes to listings and so. Another issue I am concerned about is the search indexing. so: Did anyone ever get secure CRUD permissions built in? Is there a manual that I should have read? Or is this simply a missing feature in core? Bèr

Changes in contrib CVS
by Gerhard Killesreiter 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi there! As you might recall Dries had asked me to be the contrib CVS maintainer a while ago. One thing that has caused me a lot of pain and work was that every comitter can commit to every project and (even worse) branch or tag any project. For example, if somebody goes on a mad tagging rampage and tags half of /modules, not only need the tags be undone, but also the generated tarballs need to be removed by hand and the cvs checkout used on drupal for making them needs to be cleaned, too. Hence my delight was truly great when Derek Wright told me that this can easily be remedied and we wouldn't even need to change to $FANCY_OTHER_RCS to have it fixed. Not only did Derek tell me that it can be done, he also volunteered to implement it! Today I have installed the fruits of his labour on drupal.org and I think that not only I am indebted to him, but also the Drupal project as a whole since now it can continue to grow safely. What are the changes? - The main change is that only the owner of a project can do cvs commits, tags and branches for it. - This owner is defined as the drupal.org user who is listed as the author of the corresponding project page. - This owner can add more maintainers at node/nnn/maintainers where nnn is the node ID of the project node. see http://drupal.org/node/63634 - The changes affects everything in contrib CVS but the sandbox and tricks directories. - in these two directories you can't branch or tag at all, but currently still everybody can commit. - exempt from the new rules for committing are files ending in .po and .pot. This is to allow translators with cvs access to commit translations with minimal work from the project owner. They still can't branch or tag them. I expect to work everything as intended, but in case you should encounter problems, you can file issues against the drupal.org project or cvs project as appropriate. Thanks Derek! Cheers, Gerhard

Re-using collapsible.js for collapsible divs?
by Gerhard Killesreiter 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi there, my proficiency with JS is still near 0, so I need to ask the above question. In the past I used to use collapsible fieldsets to hide some content, but that is semantically wrong and maybe even invalid html. So I would like to have a collapsible div instead if fieldset. Anyy pointers on how to achieve this? I would prefer to not install extra JS. Cheers, Gerhard

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

Most of the extensions are trivial (and some are actually useful) and most software vendors (including the large ones) know that things like built-in sequence number generators are best not used. Drupal is just repeating a lesson already learned by many others. (Don't get me started on foreign keys, constraints and cascading deletes either...) Pat

Things you must consider when designing a database abstraction layer: 1. Not all databases are equal. 2 .You don't want to generalize so much that you can't use the powerful features of a particular database. 3. Code generated SQL is limiting and error prone. Personally, the only data abstraction I would like to see would be a way to store optimized sql for a particular database vendor (or a generic default statement), a way to address which sql statement you want to use, and a function (or functions) to return either a cursor to iterate over, an array, a single value, and error handling.
