Videocasts

Okay, so this is not dev, but I imagine you're all recovering from the 4.7.0 release anyway. The first two lullabot videocasts are online: what's new in Drupal 4.7 and how to install 4.7. Matt is doing the Upgrading to 4.7 one, which should be finished in a couple of hours (he was afk for a couple of hours). I've posted a blurb on digg: http://www.digg.com/software/Two_videocasts_about_the_new_Drupal If you have an account, please digg it for more exposure. The videocasts are /really/ classy. Ted and Jeff have done an awesome job. Steven Wittens

AJAX return values
by Dan Robinson 02 May '06

I am trying to get some AJAX stuff to work - javascript function - function setMapContacts(uri, groupname) { HTTPGet(uri+"/"+groupname, addContactsToMap, "") ; } this is the PHP function that gets called as a result of the above HTTPGet - function getContacts($GroupName) { $contacts = getContactsInGroup($GroupName); print drupal_to_js($contacts); exit(); } Here is the callback .js function I don't think I understand the correct way to format the callback - "contacts" has no value - function addContactsToMap(httpresponse, xmlhttp, contacts) { if (xmlhttp.status != 200) { return alert('An HTTP error '+ xmlhttp.status +' occured.\n'+ httpresponse.uri); } ; map.clearOverlays(); alert(httpresponse); } and I get a dump in httpresponse - the dump has the data i want in it - but I would much rather be dealing with a javascript array :). How do I get a javascript array? Is there a cast I have to do? Thanks, Dan

Drupal 4.7.0 released
by Dries Buytaert 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hello world, after more than a year of development we released Drupal 4.7.0 to the world. Details at: http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.0 There have been over 338 contributors to this latest release with over 1500 patches which is almost triple our previous record with Drupal 4.6 of 523 commits by 50 developers. Thanks to _you_ this is the best Drupal version to date! If you take a moment to look back and reflect on things, you'll realize this has been a fun but crazy ride. I'm proud, really proud, of what we accomplished the past year. :) Thank you, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

-----Original Message----- > Excellent idea, and one that I support. I like my branch numbers to have > meaning. As a bonus, the press loves the cachet of code names. :-) See old request here http://drupal.org/node/9764 As dries said, there is /something/ for having functional names like "developers version", the up and down side being that is will be the same name forever and that everybody knows what you are talking of
