Flexinode and 4.7
by John Handelaar 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

I may well be missing something, and if so I'll be happy. So imagine for a moment that a site (4.6) has about 6,000 flexinode records, and uses 'flexinode/search/1' with query options to generate views of people based on the location field in the flexinode type. I upgrade the site to 4.7 and Flexinode no longer has a search option at all, which breaks the UI of the site entirely. Would I actually have any options here, or is this data now more or less useless?

Locale module and gettext
by Gerhard Killesreiter 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi there, IIRC there has been speculation that using the gettext object files (.mo files) for storing translations instead of the database would be a lot faster. Unfortunately, I can not confirm this. It seems to be somewhat faster but not that much that I'd consider the inclusion of such a feature worthwhile. The configuration is rather awkward and error prone. Cheers, Gerhard

Install profiles tutorial for Drupal 4.7, Friday 8AM PST
by Angela Byron 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hello, CivicSpace Labs is pleased to announce the release of a Drupal Install Profile System for Drupal 4.7. http://civicspacelabs.com/installer-4.7.2.patch http://civicspacelabs.com/civicspace-installer.tar.gz We are offering a tutorial on how to create install profiles. We hope to add a install profile system to core Drupal in the next release. We are supporting an install profile for the CivicSpace distribution based on Drupal 4.7. As an example we will be providing a new grassroots group events organizing distribution of Drupal called GoJoinGo. Angela Byron, a.k.a Webchick will be discussing how you can easily create your own distribution of Drupal. If you have ever thought that Drupal could have better defaults during installation, or should have certain modules available in the base distribution now it's your chance to show off how you would make a distribution. We hope that by releasing an install profile system for Drupal several months in advance of the next release of Drupal we can help spark the creation of innovative new Drupal distributions and even make Drupal itself a better distribution. Documentation for creating install profiles is available here: http://drupal.org/node/67921 * .install files must have the t() function removed for now Link to the Skypecast is here: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?message=tal… Sorry about the short notice, but hope to see you there! :) -Angie

SNA - status report
by Novák Áron 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi, I would like to share you what I've done in the SoC. At first I test the performance of various data storing method (SQL, gdb, etc). The next step to me was create a graph from a Drupal-based site's sql data. The source of the graph is the node and the comments module. The scripts count activity between users (ie: reply to an article, reply to a comment) then create a directed, weighted graph from these information. Now the graph is just serialized out to a file (might be changed). Here is the data structure: [uidA] => [uid1] => [weight] [uidB] => [uid1] => [weight] [uid2] => [weight] [uidN] => [weight] This is an adjacency list. I store the adjacent of each user. I also write a function that create a graphviz input from this array. The graphviz generated site maps are interesting for me but I know this is not the main purpose of my project. I had very big performance problem with graphviz when I tried to visualize a graph with thousand of edges but I realized that an image with many-many edges is rather useless. Then I simply throw out low-scored edges. I haven't written yet the not-important-edge detector function. I've just set a limit by hand in the script. I generate the social map of a very popular Hungarian portal (~8000 users and ~250000 comments). As far as I can see the next step is to implement the Dijkstra algorithm with this data structure and to test how effective this data structure and data storing. All the results above (images, source codes and test results) can be viewed at http://sna.drupaler.net Aron Novak

modify $node->something from hook_nodeapi
by Fabio Varesano 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi everybody, I have a module which create nodes of type "mytype" which has a field called "something" accessible from $node->something. I'm working on another module (mytype_change.module) which need to modify one of the "mytype.module" field. I want to change the "something" field of the just submitted node to something different that the user input. If the user insert 'foo' as value of the something field I want that my mytype_change.module can change the value to 'bar' just before the node insertion on database. So while the user thinks that he inserted 'foo' as value of the something field instead the system has registered 'bar' into the database. I'm doing this through the hook_nodeapi where $op param is 'validate'. then I do something like: function mytype_change_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser) { switch ($op) { case 'validate': if($node->something == 'foo') $node->something = 'bar'; break; } } But the code above does not work. The something value is always 'foo' even if I submit or preview the node. Can someone point me to the right direction??? Thank you. Fabio Varesano

altering an altered form
by Gabor Hojtsy 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Hi, For the new drupal.hu, I am trying to force the path and node options form groups to be always opened on some node types, and path removed on others. Since the path stuff is added with form_alter, my only way if I understand it correctly is to name my module something post "p", so that it is called after the path module, or manually tinker with the weight of modules in the system table. Am I right, or are there better options? Gabor

Re: [development] xhtml and embed tag: best way to compliance?
by Karl Rudd 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

I ran up against this a while ago and through a tonne of research this is what I have come up with. It's not exactly pretty but it works everywhere, including in XHTML Strict. Note the, of course, for Quicktime, Real, etc objects you'll have to change the "type" and "classid" values.  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" data="flash.swf">   <param name="movie" value="flash.swf" /> <p>Alternative content.</p> </object> Basically you're providing IE with an alternative version of the opening OBJECT tag. Additionally to deal with the whole "Click to interact with ActiveX control" thing I have, wrapped in conditional comments for "IE only", an external Javascript.  Please note the "defer" attribute, it's very important. Basically it makes the script run after the page body has completed parsing, but while images, objects, etc are still loading. In the "iefixes.js" file I have code like this: var objects = document.getElementsByTagName( 'object' ); for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++ ) objects[ i ].outerHTML = objects[ i ].outerHTML; And that's it. As I said, it's not pretty but it's the "least ugly" and the "least intrusive" way I could find to implement all of this.

Move multiple theme per site support to contrib module
by Adrian Rossouw 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

I was playing with theme stuff again, and I realised how completely sub-optimal the current configuration is. How many people actually use user specified themes on their sites? This is the kind of functionality that only really clutters up the default interface, and confuses a lot of people for no good reason. We should simply remove the 'enabled' checkbox, and rename the default radio to 'enable'. This removes a chunk of code , and all this can very easily be done via _form_alter now, for those that need it. What I would also like to see , is that we re-organise the the admin as follows : admin display theme (default tab) regions (tab, ie: what admin/blocks used to be) settings (tab) Also. completely getting rid of the tiered theme setting stuff, and only having one set of settings, per theme (same with the block) I do believe that the block / region settings are very much a display issue. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com

I *really* miss drupaldocs. The two things I miss are: 1) search block 2) wild card searches. When I first started with Drupal both were invaluable tools to me. They saved me a lot of time and helped me get around not knowing the api by memory. Is there anyway to at least get that search block re-enabled? I understand some code needs to be written to get the wild card searches back, I can sort of live without it now that I know the api better.
