blogapi client
by Karoly Negyesi 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Hi, I have a blogapi client module for 4.6. It can post nodes via blogger, metaweblog or Atom APIs and autodiscover all these (yay for blogger.com which has two service.post links but only one of them is actually usable... I worked around that.) I still need to make a wizard form based on b) and hook a) into the node process but that's fairly trivial and will happen within a day. I am willing to contribute this module and will submit my enhancements as I write them (for my dayjob, that is) but I am not willing to maintain this. If you are interested, drop me a line and I will send you the module. That the module is 4.6 does not matter much at this point, there is very little that needs to be changed to make it work under 4.7 (it will be more when that wizard form is done). Regards NK

RE:[development] Drupal's database interaction

For those interested in this subject please look at my first "report" at http://spiders-lair.com/node/23 (is there a better place for me to post articles like this?) I'd rather get feedback from those "in the know" before I start going down a complex road that may be just a waste of time. Also, on a more conventional note, I'm starting to look for SQL optimisations within "core". My first possibility is posted on this issue:- http://drupal.org/node/72828 Expect more :) I'd appreciate it if any "follow ups" to these were done either on the issue or in response to my article via this list as opposed to leaving comments (your are welcome to post comments though but I think a better place is needed for articles like this). best regards, --AjK (Andy) http://drupal.org/user/39030

bzr mirror
by Karoly Negyesi 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hi, Thanks to Matt Rae from OSUOSL, we now have a bzr mirror at http://bzr.drupal.org/ As this contains a ton of revisions, a bzr get would last for very long (approx ten minutes). So use this tarball (packaged nightly): http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/bzr/drupal-bzr.tar.gz Untar the tarball and then either in that directory or a copy of that (bzr get locally is just a directory copy): bzr pull --remember http://bzr.drupal.org Onwards a simple bzr pull will get you the latest. No need to redownload the tarball again. Regards NK

Test automation
by Rok Žlender 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hello I am working on unit test automation for this year Summer of Code. After discussing possible solutions with some people on IRC I feel that this mailing list is the right place to get some response on the subject. Here is the general idea how unit test automation will look like in the end. Testing server - server which prepares the environment for tests and runs them Project server - server with project module installed and where all the issues and patches are gathered 1. Testing server queries project server for all untested patches. This will require a xml-rpc handler in project module which would generate a list of untested patches or patches marked "patch (needs automated test)" and return it as a response. 2. Testing server tests every patch on the list. Testing is done in a virtual server. 3. When a patch is tested testing server notifies project server with result. Again this would require another xml-rpc handler inside project module that would save the result into DB. Because there would be too much information to display as a follow up all the detailed information about a certain test should be saved on testing server. This is an example how testing result could be displayed in follow up: Automated test result for file: [file_name] PASS| FAIL. [link_to_detailed_information]. Testing server could also gather some statistics regarding the tests for example number of passes/fails etc. Please feel free to comment and give ideas. Cheers Rok Žlender

Extending Modules
by Benjamin Maurice 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

I very much expected to find "best practices" for extending modules, but I haven't. Does anyone have any pointers to resources or advice? It's great that Drupal itself is modular, but if I want to add a little something to a module that already does 90% of what I want, it seems there ought to be a standard way to do this without forking it. Wrapping a module I can imagine how to do, and overriding or adding functions as needed, but it seems there could be a way to do this without having to define every function and pass it through. At least I hope to find recommendations on how to do this. Thanks for any help, Ben Melançon of Agaric Design http://agaricdesign.com/

Integrating Drupal with PHPSurveyor
by Leo Burd 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Hello there, I wonder if anyone has already implemented a module to integrate Drupal with PHPSurveyor, the open-source survey creation tool (http://www.phpsurveyor.org/) In my opinion, it would be great to have a module that presented Drupal users with a link to specified PHPSurveyor surveys, generated periodic reminders for users that haven't responded a given survey, etc. Ideally, I believe survey.module should incorporate the functionality offered by PHPSurveyor. Until then, this module should provide a good alternative solution. Anyone interested? Best, Leo
