Leave of absence: automember.module
by Kobus Myburgh 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi, My situation currently requires me to take a leave of absence from most of my Drupal activities (and most of my hobbies, too) for two months or maybe even more. I have tried to convert automember.module to Drupal 4.7 before I left, but I have not been able to do so successfully - there are still way too many bugs to release. I have had two queries about automember module since I took over from njivy, and no more, so either it is not in widespread use, or people updated it themselves to version 4.7. If this need is more urgent than what I believe it is, I will be willing to hand over to someone who will do the conversion. If the need is not so urgent, and nobody wants to do the conversion, this will have to wait until I get back... Any interested people, please reply to me off-list. Thanks! Kobus

Re: [development] Design Flaws in Drupal Caching System

Well, I think that the current implementation caches entire pages instead of objects within pages. Thus, it sounds like you want to avoid caching altogether. My beef is just that core doesn't have a maximum lifetime for cache items or a method for intelligently expiring cached items when they can programmatically be deemed stale. Even worse, the currently-released code doesn't even play nice with its own delete-everything-when-anything-changes policy, so a newbie admin could end up serving stale content to anonymous users for months at a time. ttyl -- Alex (Malex) Markley http://MalexMedia.Net/ "I may seem like a hard-boiled detective on the outside, but inside, I'm full of... organs."

No need to modify queries (just review > existing ones for the status queries). once again, let me reiterate that this is an insufficient solution-- it only applies to nodes, and there are other forms of content that need to be addressed--not to mention that afaik node dependent tables don't have a status column, which could also cause problems.

Profile field for RSS
by Benjamin Maurice 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Has anyone created a profile field for users' news feeds such that all their submitted RSS feeds appear in a category in news aggregator? I submitted a feature request at Profile but maybe that's not the only way: http://drupal.org/node/74439 Also I'm interested in enabling multiple instances of profile fields for users-- for instance a URL field labeled "Web Site" that the user can simply add second or third sites.

Drupal Multi-Site Management
by Tim Jones 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi Devlist, I'm working with Green Media Toolshed to set up a system for managing multiple instances of Drupal on the same server and sharing information between them. We're very keen on sharing this and collaborating on it with anybody who's interested in something similar. I'm trying to figure out which of these functionalities are too specific to our use-case to be useful to others, and which the community would benefit from developing a standardized and well-supported way of doing. So, I've included a list of our target functionality below. Send feedback! Especially if you're interested in collaborating on this, or are working on something similar, or if you have ideas about how to implement it in a way that will be in-line with Drupal Core's future direction, or if you think it's crazy and can't be done. If there is enough interest, we'll set up a Drupal Group to coordinate. Cheers, =Tones= greenmediatoolshed.org tjones.cc ***** Green Media Toolshed Multi-Site Hosting Requirements Document, v0.3 Tim Jones - tim(a)tjones.cc - 19 July, 2006 1. Site management - Provide GMT admins with a "dashboard" list of all current GMT websites, including partner information. - Automatically deploy new Drupal sites based on site-template databases, via web interface. - Track database, client and domain data for all sites. - Allow and manage multiple domains/subdomains for each site. - Manage cron.php runs across all sites. - Run database queries across all sites simultaneously. - Manage and synch site filesystems. (I think this is only relevant if the setup it not using the Drupal "/sites/foo" convention.) 2. User / Client management - Users and clients have a many-to-one relationship. Clients and sites have a many-to-one relationship. - A user may log in to any site owned by that user's client. - Users have roles per-client that affect their permissions on client sub-sites. - Standard ("Authenticated") users are not shared between sites. (e.g. for Forums, Blog Comments, etc.) - Clearly the specifics of this need to be thought through more 3. API - Modules on a given site should be able to access contextual multihost information. For instance, - What client is this site for? - What other sites for this client are hosted on this system? - Any other relevant client/group data 4. For the Future: ("Wishlist") - Taxonomy sharing - Better mailing lists (possibly og2list?) - Multisite statistics aggregation - Other stuff?
