i18n
by Dries Buytaert 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

Hi Gabor et al, after our little meeting yesterday, I've been thinking some more about the i18n work. Making translated nodes first class objects seems like a good idea, although it would be great to see some concrete use-cases in your design document. Secondly, the changes in Development Seed's SVN repository that you demonstrated 2 weeks ago, look ready to go in. Wrap it up in one patch, minus the changes to the variables table. I'd prefer to group all database changes in a separate patch -- but maybe there is a subtle issue/dependency I'm overlooking. Either way, submitting what you showed me earlier, seems like a good thing to do -- especially if some of my suggested UI improvements and terminology explanations made it in. Once there is a patch, it's also going to be easier to solicit initial UI feedback although I think we'll have covered most of the issues. Third, the improved installation mechanism for .po files is also something I think should be submitted as soon as possible, especially now we're encouraging people to share install profiles on drupal.org. To make a long story short, it would be great to get some of the first l10n/i18n improvements in, so we can shift focus to the more challenging parts of the i18n stuff. Most of all, it helps avoid the typical 'patch rush' near the end of the next code freeze. I'm ready to tackle some of the larger changes and I'd rather work on these now than in one month or so. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Call for more lightening talks at DrupalCon
by Mark Fredrickson 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi devs, We still have space for several more lightening talks at the OSCMS/DrupalCon. I'd like to have around 10 or so, if possible, so please step up. You can sign up for a lightening talk by leaving a comment here: http://2007.oscms-summit.org/node/370 A lightning talk is a 5 minute (or less) presentation on a topic you'd like to share with the community. The Perl community has been holding lightning talks for years, and the PHP community has started following suit. Lightning talks tend to be direct, to the point, and light on the details. They're appetizers to pique our interests, not full course meals. Your talk can be developer focused or directed at other skill levels. I'd like to have everyone who attends learn something new. It would be a good opportunity to show off a new module or API The talks have been scheduled for 9am on Friday, March 22 in Room 4. You can find out more and sign up at http://2007.oscms-summit.org/node/370 See you in Sunnyvale! -Mark

Re: [development] Upcoming.org
by Karen Stevenson 17 Mar '07

Of course! I "stole" lots of the event code, so it's only fair to give back :-) Karen ----- Original Message ---- From: Gerhard Killesreiter <gerhard(a)killesreiter.de> To: development(a)drupal.org Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 7:42:43 AM Subject: Re: [development] Upcoming.org Karen Stevenson wrote: > It doesn't look like there is anyone currently maintaining the Upcoming.org integration (http://drupal.org/project/upcomingorg) and it hasn't been updated for 4.7, let alone 5.x. I'd like to volunteer to try to get it working again if someone can make me the maintainer. I've been adding iCal integration in various places and the Upcoming.org integration would be a nice addition to a number of things I'm working on. Done. WRT your other modules: I'd like to "steal" the iCal import code when it is stable. :p Cheers, Gerhard

Upcoming.org
by Karen Stevenson 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

It doesn't look like there is anyone currently maintaining the Upcoming.org integration (http://drupal.org/project/upcomingorg) and it hasn't been updated for 4.7, let alone 5.x. I'd like to volunteer to try to get it working again if someone can make me the maintainer. I've been adding iCal integration in various places and the Upcoming.org integration would be a nice addition to a number of things I'm working on. And while I'm volunteering to take on another module because it dovetails into my current projects, I also need to get some help with some of the others I'm maintaining, so if anyone is using and interested in co-maintaining any of my modules, I'd be glad for some help. My modules are Date, Calendar, Event Views, Location Views, Views Calc, PhpGedView, OG Galleries, Pollfield, and Switchtheme. Contact me off-list if you might be interested in working on one of them. Thanks! Karen

FormAPI in Drupal 6: patches to test!
by Jeff Eaton 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

With the attention that has been focused on the menu system, a number of other areas haven't been able to get as much love until now. There are, however, a number of key features that could make it into Drupal 6. One of the first steps in this suite of changes is eliminating that onerous oddball, the #base property. http://drupal.org/node/128081 does just that, eliminating the long-confusing use of #base in favor of explicit #submit and #validate declarations when forms need to utilize shared submit and validate functions. This means that devs can use the same techniques and structures when defining the original form as they do when altering the form later. It's a good thing, and it eliminates some weird bits in form.inc. Anyone who's interested in helping, please drop in on the issue and test it. It's the first step in a list that includes features like 'unique per-button callbacks' and 'improved multistep handling.' hooray! --Jeff Eaton

Looking for new module maintainer for importexportapi module
by Doug Green 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

I'm looking for a new maintainer for the importexportapi module. The importexportapi module needs some love and time that I don't have right now. This was a summer of code project (developed by jaza) that allows data to be exported and imported between Drupal installs - this is great functionality to have, especially when moving between a dev/qa/live configuration or when upgrading sites from one version to another. When jaza left for a year long trip, I volunteered. But being a responsible module maintainer also means recognizing that I don't have the time to give it. Anyone interested should send me email. The original author was careful to pick someone with some experience, so I feel obligated to do the same. This module needs someone with both Drupal and programming experience, as it has almost 5000 lines of code and as it interfaces with many areas of Drupal. While not looking for a bounty, if anyone wants to pay for the development, I'd be happy to do the work myself. There are about 40 issues in the issue queue that my WAG is about a weeks worth of work. I'm not averse to contrib work as I have 8 or so other contrib modules of my own, but my wife is happier when I get paid for work. And a week is just a little more than I can contribute right now. Thanks! Doug Green 904-583-3342 www.civicactions.com Changing the world one node at a time!

Simpletest Module
by Andre Molnar 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Is there anyone working on simpletest module. Last night I was working on a port to 5.x for the module - and then realized when testing the module that the tests themselves are ALL likely in need of upgrade too (either that or 5.x is very broken since every test fails ;-). Is anyone working on this? Is there anyone running any simpletest tests on drupal 5? - via the simpletest module? Rather than duplicate work (if work has been done), I'd like to collaborate with others and supply a complete patch to the module to upgrade it. And moving forward I'd like to try to keep up with head during the code freezes. andre

Drop-down primary-links
by Yannick Warnier 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hi, I was looking around the other day for a theme that would allow drop-down primary-links to show secondary-links. Obviously, no theme was proposing that and after a few script searches, I think I understood why. Doing that implies that you get all the primary-links *and* secondary-links structure at once, and nothing was in place to do that. So I hacked a bit and got the whole structure in one piece, but I'm actually wondering if there is *really* no other development already that did that. I'm not that good at DHTML so I haven't finished the job (actually displaying the menus as dropdown nicely). I had to change files in the theme (I started by re-using Garland) as well as the template engine, in Drupal 5.1. Any comments on this? Is that something people would want me to publicize? Can somebody with good DHTML skills provide me with some help finishing the job? I would have a few spare minutes at the end of the week to pass that on... Thanks, Yannick
