It will still be confusing. I think anyone who's familiar with social networking sites will tend to associate "profile" with people, even though it does have other meanings. Michelle

Drupal 6: Theming system_settings_form() forms
by Juraj Chlebec 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi, For example i have code looks like this: <?php ... /** * hook_theme() */ function themedemo_theme() { return array( 'themedemo_example' => array( 'arguments' => array('form' => NULL) ) ); } /** * my admin settings form */ function themedemo_example() { $form = array(); $form['example'] = array( '#title' => t('This is just an example'), '#type' => 'checkbox', '#default_value' => FALSE ); return system_settings_form($form); } /** * The function that has to be registered in hook_theme() */ function theme_themedemo_example($form) { $form['example']['#description'] = t('This description was added by the registered theme function.'); $output = drupal_render($form); return $output; } ?> I think this is legal Drupal form. But in this case my theme function do not work. If i remove return system_settings_form($form); and return $form; only theming function work perfect. Where is problem? Thanks for advance.

Updating drupal.org to Drupal 6 release candidate
by Gerhard Killesreiter 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, it is a time honoured tradition that drupal.org is updated to the first release candidate of a new Drupal release as soon as this is available. The first RC of D6 is now available, now when is that update going to happen? The answer is unfortunately: Not very soon. The reason is not the release candidate but the multiple dependencies that drupal.org has. The most well known is probably the project module and it's many friends. However, there are also other dependencies of which I can't find a D6-ready release or some attempt at one (image.module and simplenews for example). Project* has it's own roadmap on the D6 update here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/6180 While I am not entirely happy with the order of the items (I'd obviously prefer to have points 10 and 11 at the top), there is at least something to look at. Also, people who would like to see d.o updated do know how they can help. Unfortunately, there aren't that many people who are eager to help. What I am trying to do is to establish a timeline of when d.o could be updated. So I'd like the maintainers (or other knowledgable parties) to speak up and tell me what their guestimates for updates to D6 are: - - project - - project_issues - - versioncontrol - - views - - image - - image_gallery - - image_attach - - simplenews - - lists - - feature Cheers, Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHdpROfg6TFvELooQRAq1UAJ9otQ4pb1veB/DOYFMUnTZjy4tIAgCfWe+w awu0DgZI3+YLejToiw87N6s= =Hexe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [development] Question on Drupal 6 menus
by Peter Wolanin 05 Jan '08

Khalid, One thing looks wrong for sure: 'file' => 'lists.module', I'm not sure if that's causing the problem, but it instructs the menu system to include the module file again. 'file' should only be used with .inc files. Also, don't use t() anywhere - titles, etc are localized dynamically. Finally (and most importantly), the access part is wrong. Since you are using the defaullt callback (user_access), you can have something like this: function lists_menu() { $items = array(); $items['lists'] = array( 'title' => 'Mailing lists', 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('lists_subscribe_form'), 'access arguments' => array('access content'), 'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM, ); return $items; } > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Khalid Baheyeldin" <kb(a)2bits.com> > To: development(a)drupal.org > Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 20:27:37 -0500 > Subject: [development] Question on Drupal 6 menus > This is a question for chx, but I posted it publicly so we all benefit from his reply. > > I found a weird problem with the menus in D6.

modify the output of nodes (hooks??)
by Alex Moreno 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Good afternoon, im working on a custom module (my first one) and i have a question. I´d like to modify the output of the nodes, such as modules like print does. I´ve been reading about the hook funcions but i´m not sure about the better or most advisable way. For example: function monedas_block($op='list', $delta=0) { // listing of blocks, such as on the admin/block page if ($op == "list") { $block[0]["info"] = t('Monedas'); return $block; } else if ($op == 'view') { $block['content'] = "contenido del bloque"; return $block; } } // end monedas_block ¿is this method correct? Is there any good lecture about it? Thanks a lot.

Question on Drupal 6 menus
by Khalid Baheyeldin 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

This is a question for chx, but I posted it publicly so we all benefit from his reply. I found a weird problem with the menus in D6. Most probably I am missing something obvious, but I am missing what it is. This does work. Note that the lists inherits from admin, and it is a NORMAL item. function lists_menu() { $items = array(); $items['admin/lists'] = array( 'title' => t('Mailing lists'), 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('lists_subscribe'), 'access' => user_access('access content'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, 'file' => 'lists.module', ); return $items; } This, which is what I want, does not show the lists path anywhere, not under menu as disabled, nothing (I marked the changed lines with an *). function lists_menu() { $items = array(); * $items['lists'] = array( 'title' => t('Mailing lists'), 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('lists_subscribe'), 'access' => user_access('access content'), * 'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM, 'file' => 'lists.module', ); return $items; } The latter is the one needed so that the path can be enabled or disabled in the menus as needed. This is the way it works on D5. What is amiss here? -- Khalid M. Baheyeldin 2bits.com, Inc. http://2bits.com Drupal optimization, development, customization and consulting.

by Alessandro Feijó 03 Jan '08

if I set my $blocks array like this: case 'list': $blocks[0] = array('info' => 'name'); $blocks[1] = array('info' => 'name'); $blocks[2] = array('info' => 'name'); only the first one appears on Blocks config page I just changed to this: $blocks[] = array('info' => 'name'); $blocks[] = array('info' => 'name'); $blocks[] = array('info' => 'name'); And worked!! All three shows up I tested with this example, same problem: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_block/6 Feijó

I really don't think renaming profile to user profile will help any since it is install profile that causes the confusion. And I'm not renaming advanced profile to advanced user profile. It's long enough of a name as it is. :P Michelle
