special filter behavior for teaser
by Dave Cohen 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

I have a client using img_assist to add inline images. They want thumbnails of images to appear in teaser views, and larger images to appear when the entire node body is shown. Others have requested the same sort of thing here: http://drupal.org/node/107801. I was hoping to accomplish this by hacking the img_assist filter to change its behavior when a teaser is being generated as opposed to a full body. But this information (whether a teaser is being generated or not) is not available in hook_filter. Is there any way for me to accomplish this? I cannot think of a clean way so I wonder, should more parameters be passed to the check_markup and hook_filter functions? Apologies if this is a FAQ, and thanks for any advice, -Dave

workflow.module not setting actions properly
by [K2] 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi, I have Drupal 5.1 and was trying to setup the actions and workflow to have a "flow of submitted stories edited before publishing" feature. However, with the latest actions and workflow modules in place, I can't get the actions setup for different states of a work flow. Any action which I add, ends up with the first state. If I apply more than one, they are preprended (above) to present actions. What can I do to get this thing sorted out? Thanks, KS. PS: Is this the right mailing list to post to or should this be sent to support mailing list?

settings.php broken after last commit
by Tadej Baša 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

In case you don't know this already (it's been in CVS for 5 days now), after the last commit to settings.php the installer doesn't work anymore. line 93 reads $db_url = 'mysql://drupal:drupal@localhost/drupal'; instead of $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename'; -- Tadej

Is there any drupal module for creating Multisite configuration?
by Pushparajan V 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi all, Is there any drupal module for creating multisite configuration ? I tried provisionator. It is not that maintained and not working in my environment. Is there any other module which can do the job? Thanks, Pushparajan V. -- Pushparajan V http://www.vprajan.org - - - - - - - - if(others(love)>=life) { noends=true; lifetime=others(love).length(); } - - - - - - - -

CVS branch work best practices?
by Bèr Kessels 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hello, I've recently started using the "new" CVS ways on Drupal.org but ran into some difficulties. I am not sure if I simply don't understand it, or if I expect too much from the 'tools'. Here is the case: Foo module has the following tree | |--- DRUPAL-4-7 |--- DRUPAL-5 | |- tag DRUPAL-5--1-0 | | lots of hard work and patches applied | |- tag DRUPAL-5--2-0 | HEAD. What one would expect (or at least, what the CVS handbooks tell me to expect) is that HEAD is always the latest-greatest-thingy. So it should include all the cool stuff that was added during the 'lots of hard work and patches applied' phase. Yet with the curent practice it is not, or seems to me, not to be. In order to let it be that latest-greatest, I *seem to* have to apply all patches twice, at least, I could not find any way to make this easier then by copy-pasting files, changes and patches around. I seem to have to syncronise the changes made during 'lots of hard work' every single time. This is quite a lot of work. And I feel it as a waste of time when the 'tools' I use require me to 'waste' time that i could have spent on development. Is there some way, I missed, or misunderstood, or whatever, that allows this process to work without lots of extra work? Is it just me who wants HEAD to be he latest-greatest? Bèr NB: I asked the same question on Drupal's IRC channel, yet people tought I was whining, or complaining; I've tried to rephrase it in this mail, it is just a concern of me, and a question for others about how I (and others, facing the same issues) can drive up my productivity. It is by no means meant as critique on the new release system. It is simply a question for us all to improve the way we use our "tools" :) -- Drupal, Ruby on Rails and Joomla! development: webschuur.com | Drupal hosting: www.sympal.nl

Intro + sql abstraction
by Philippe Jadin 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hello, I hope this is the right mailing list to introduce myself as a "willing to be" contributor. I'm new to Drupal, but not to the world of content management. I wrote quite a few systems, the latest is available on http://www.thinkedit.org (this is the result of 2 years of work). It has some features in common with Drupal (node system, custom content types, trees, etc...) but we lack a community (the goal was to create one when I decided to opensource it a year ago) and community building features. Two weeks ago, I started to wonder if I wasn't reinventing the wheel (it's never too late isn't it ?), and when I looked again at Drupal, it was clear that something special is happening here :-) So, I hope I'll be able to contribute to Drupal and maybe contribute a few module/ideas. I will try to avoid "why don't you do it like this?" posts. Looking at recent discussions, like how to abstract the sql used to create tables in the install/update system, here's how we do it (not that it's the best way, but it works with a minimal amount of code) This is for example the default sql table definition file : http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/thinkedit/trunk/config/tables-dist.php?op=file&r… >From this, we can install and upgrade the database at any time : the installer checks if a table is missing, and adds the required fields. (it is not possible to delete fields by design, to avoid trouble). If this file is updated, when you run the installer again, the corresponding fields are added. This way, you can use versioning on this file and thus on your sql schema (sql schema migration is a pita). The "create table" and "alter table" are created on the fly, by comparing the existing database and the requested schema. We can also build forms on the fly with validation, scaffolding (there is an "active record" object) Nothing new under the sun, but using data oriented programming seemed powerful. Using php arrays to store this is very straightforward and can be directly used by the language. I hope to bring some of those ideas to Drupal (if they are not yet there, which seems unlikely) My 0.02, as an intro :-) Philippe Jadin

Re: [development] CCK in Drupal 6
by Karen Stevenson 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

I don't have any ideas yet, but I started a stub for a discussion about that topic on the CCK issue queue at http://drupal.org/node/115822. I also added a category called 'CCK in core' to the CCK issue queue component list so we can mark tasks, patches, etc. that relate to that process.

Dear Development List, In case you missed it from the planet download statistics for January from projects hosted on Drupal are now available: http://knaddison.com/drupal/january-drupal-download-statistics Since most people here are module developers, here are the top modules with the download numbers: Module | Cumulative Downloads for all tarballs views 8403 tinymce 7660 cck 7185 image 6946 imce 3866 gallery 3464 event 3203 fckeditor 3200 pathauto 3085 calendar 2920 contemplate 2877 widgeditor 2780 front 2718 category 2710 og 2624 gsitemap 2206 imagefield 2186 date 2089 audio 2023 adsense 1965 taxonomy_access 1952 video 1952 votingapi 1951 link 1946 panels 1926 upload_preview 1767 poormanscron 1694 devel 1685 captcha 1683 views_bonus 1667 While this is not a great indicator of the ongoing use of a module it provides a reasonable proxy for that information. If you (like me) are the author of a module not on this short list the full spreadsheet (ODS format) of the download data for all modules, themes, translations, and screencasts (wildly popular). http://knaddison.com/randomfiles/drupal_downloads_january.ods Congrats to Earl on the most popular module for January. Greg PS No, I do not plan to update the "modules that get no love" list. If someone wants me to figure it out I can but most people didn't like it last time...
