Drupal 5, machine/human readable node type names
by AjK 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

It seems that the human verses machine readable names of node types has been blurred. For example, in D5, go to admin/content/types and select "story". Now, in the "identification" field set, change "Name" (human readable name) to "John Doe's stories" and leave "Type" (machine-readable name) alone. You'll see the human readable name gets escaped to "John Doe's stories". Imho, that's a machine readable string and not human readable (yes, humans can read it, but you get what I'm saying) regards --AjK

PHP 5 and passing node by reference
by Khalid B 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Someone reported a problem with passing nodes by reference in PHP5. http://drupal.org/node/84430 Here is the text: hanoii - September 15, 2006 - 17:52 I was using drupal 4.7 with PHP5 with any strange behaviour until I found one. If there is a node that is loaded twice, for example if it's shown on the node default homepage and on some block, the links were added twice. Then for instance add new comment and the counter of the statics module were shown twice in the second loaded node. If its loaded three times, then the links are three times. Trying to figure out what was happening I saw that the node was cached inside a static array, but I didn't understand why the cached node that was returned by node_load the second time was the one already modified and after some reading and testing I got to the fact that objects are passed by reference on PHP5. So, node_view($node) is actually passing a reference of the cached node (not a copy as on php4). I am sure you must be aware of this, but I wanted to ask you if you are taking this into consideration for further releases or just stick to PHP4 for now? Shall I submit this as an issue too? I would thing that there may be simillar things going on inside the code as objects are passed everywhere within the core and modules. So my plan right now is to go back to PHP4. Hope this helps, Great work! a.=

Add some choices to Drupal issue tracker
by Fernando Silva 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi, I would like to request the following choices to be added in Drupal issue tracker: 1. priority "major" - would be a level where is not a "critical" bug that disables core to funtion properly, but is a high enough bug that disables a user (or admin) to use an important function. 2. status "could not duplicate" - would be a status to inform that was not possible to test and duplicate an issue I'm asking this here, because would be two important options for my current work with drupal issues. By the way, at http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&states=1&categories=bug 3 pages are gone! 24 to go! ;) These are much more time consuming than the 4.6issue list :-P Regards, Fernando Silva

RE: [Drupal feature] Sqlite port

I have a test site at http://atlantean.5gigs.com running what should be the latest version of this. I have been busy with non-Drupal stuff and maintaining Drupal installs. It might be an idea to dump all failed queries via trigger_error() into the log for SQL debugging purposes. @I've put some effort into modifying/adopting jenseng's [1] ALTER TABLE support for sqlite. The code is a mess and I still have to check if it can actually run a Drupal database update, but it's a start... [1] http://code.jenseng.com/db/ I've seen that code mentioned before and that’s about the only way to do it, due to the lack of any alter table support. I think the cache gets corrupted under some circumstances, though I am not sure what does that. The majority of the SQL should be working, or at least enough to make it useable. I did do as test run on a local install with apache bench and with a few simultaneous clients Sqlite is noticeably slower than MySQL, though it is still reasonably responsive. If you have any ideas or test code, I might be able to test it locally. I am not intending on taking this into core, unless its works correctly and its performance is decent. TachyonXV
