4.7 hook_node preview
by Vernon Mauery 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Is there some trick that I don't know about when using the hook_node function in 4.7? I think I like the changes in HEAD that remove this hook in preference of true form API functions. My problem is that I can't seem to see the changes to $node when preview is pressed. Is there some way around this that I don't know about? Or is there some way to access the form data so things don't get forgotten on a preview? --Vernon

access to $node in hook_fillter()
by Bèr Kessels 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hello, Does anyone know a trick (or something I shouldve read, but did not read) about how to get acces to $node objects in hook_filter? My filters do not alter anything in that object, but the filters /do/ need some parameters in that object. As far as I can see, _filter only receives a 'stupid' text-chunk, but I cannot beleive that we designed it that stupid and never pass more information to he filters. Its just that I cannot find the wheres, hows and whens. Bèr -- [ End user Drupal services and hosting | Sympal.nl ] Written while listening to Smokes Quantity by Boards of Canada on Twoism

$book_node->parent blues
by Bèr Kessels 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello Apparently 'parent' is a reserved word, yet we use a 'parent' in our books. A node in a book has a $book_node->parent that contains the NID of its parent. I came across this when checking if a node is in the book, I wanted to see if $book_node->parent isset. After an hour of frustration, dprinting and so, I found that that is actually set, but that one cannot refer to it. As I can hardly beleive that I am the first to bump into this: Am I missing an obvious point? Is there an issue for this if it really is like this?

pointreleases and guidelines for contribs
by Bèr Kessels 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello there. Frustrating: you install a broken/buggy/nonworking module 'released' for 4.7, only to find that it was just branched so people could work towards a release. Confusing: You install foo.module develop something against it, then you find that after a few weeks there is a whole new (incompatible) foo.module, still with the 4.7 tag. Slowing down: You have loads of spare time (or more likely: a client/project that requires lots of improvements to your foo.module) ou don't want to wait for 4.8 with showing the world All The Cool New Features. You dont want to break your stable releases. You only want HEAD to be Contribs have no dot releases (its one number, being the core release, nothing else). Contribs have no other branches nor tags then these. Therefore I would like to know if, other then project.module not being able to handle finer-grained releases, there are reasons not to allow 4.7.1 4.7.2 etc releases in contribs. If none, how much (estimated) time would it take to add this to the packaging scripts?

new PostgreSQL maintainer needed
by Dries Buytaert 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Piotr Krukowiecki (Cvbge) mailed me to say that he can no longer be core's PostgreSQL maintainer. He's no longer doing PHP stuff. Anyone with an interest in PostgreSQL that wants to become the PostgreSQL maintainer? If no one steps up, chances are the next Drupal version won't work with PostgreSQL. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
