Recruiting security team members
by Kieran Lal 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello, at Drupalcon Barcelona I stepped forward to help coordinate the security team. Heine is still the security team lead. It's now been over three months since we've introduced changes to the security team and it's time to review our team and look to add new members. http://drupal.org/node/32750 You might have noticed that we have had over 30 security announcements in 2007. As a result of expanding security oversight to include not just core, but also contributed modules we've had to try to coordinate the releases. This is due to getting volunteers to review the announcements, as well as coordinating the 4 core maintainers, and at least the security team lead to work together. If you've ever tried to coordinate a meeting across 9 time zones you can imagine how difficult this can be, especially since our release system is automated. If you have availability to review security announcements on a regularly scheduled basis with several days notice please let me know. This is a task that is currently done by Robert Costello, myself, and the reporters of security issues. If you have security skills and would like to be part of the security team that participates in developing patches for core and contributed vulnerabilities please submit your candidacy to security(a)drupal.org, detailing your skills, and experience. If you would like to help build the security team infrastructure, such as creating a mailing list to inform CVS account holders of security best practices, or help to administer the security.drupal.org website please let us know. If you would like to write documentation or educate the Drupal community about security issues please let us know how you would like to contribute, and we will give handbook permission to write documentation on Drupal.org. If you find yourself frustrated that the security team is not responding to your issue fast enough, please send a note to the security team expressing your angst combined with your offers to assist in the coordination of other activities. Keeping Drupal sites secure, and helping to coordinate the security releases for over 2400 Drupal projects is an awesome responsibility. Please give the team the benefit of the doubt that we are working hard to deal with a wide range of issues. Our track record over the last several years certainly bears this out.

help with the auto translate module?
by Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Idan- There already is an auto translate module: http://drupal.org/project/i18n_auto This module has the same issue that you mention, which is caused by Google's compression of the special characters. Aaron Winborn and I just submitted 4 tasks to the GHOP queue (well, they're all in one issue, but will be split into 4 tasks) to bring this module out of Dev and into a full version (part of the task is to fix this exact issue): http://drupal.org/node/208539 Care to work with us to fix this module, rather than create a new one? If this is taken on by one of the students it very well may be fixed in the near future... -- Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg (917) 407-9086 alex(a)zivtech.com Future Majority - http://futuremajority.com Young Philly Politics - http://youngphillypolitics.com ZivTech - http://zivtech.com Message: 6 > Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2008 19:30:52 +0200 > From: "Idan Arbel" <idan(a)arbel-designs.com> > Subject: [development] Google translation module > To: < development(a)drupal.org> > Message-ID: <20080112173054.D6AE530021(a)sa5.bezeqint.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Hello, > > > > I'm working on a module to auto translate nodes on my websites.

Google translation module
by Idan Arbel 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello, I'm working on a module to auto translate nodes on my websites. I'm using google translate to do this. I've encountered a problem that I was hoping someone would have an idea how to solve..when I translate a text that has "special characters", mainly those that aren't English, and I try to display them, I get characters that are black diamonds. When trying to display those using drupal with drupal set message, something strange happens, it seems like drupal just ignores the entire function. I'm trying to print it out of a nodeapi hook, and the when I do all the other drupal_set_messages aren't displayed, even those that come before. Anyway, I think I've isolated the problem to the encoding of the characters, but I don't know how to solve it. I see the characters with the black diamonds when I print_r($translation), in this case I only see them. And when ever I try to drupal_set_message them I don't see anything. If I translate a text that doesn't have one of those characters, all is well. This is what I'm using to translate the texts: function google_translate($text, $from = 'en', $to = 'es') { $data = "h1=en&ie=UTF8&text=$text"; $result = drupal_http_request(I18N_AUTO_GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_TRANSLATOR_URL . '?langpair='. $from .'|'. $to, array(), 'POST', $data); $texttosearch = "id=result_box"; $start = strpos($result->data, $texttosearch); $end = strpos($result->data, "</div>", $start+24); $start = $start + 24; $translated = substr($result->data, $start, $end-$start); return $translated; } Thanks Idan

Considering the inclusion of nodeapi op 'retranslate' in Drupal 6
by developer＠dropcube.com 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I know that we are in feature freeze for quite a long time now, but we can consider this feature as the complement of an already existing feature and not as the aggregation of a completely new feature. This will give us the possibility to have a new trigger included in Drupal Core and for sure it is going to help Drupal 6 rocks still more in the multilanguage world. To have a really consistent nodeapi, hook_nodeapi must be invoked whenever an important operation was made on a node. In a multilingual site, this operation is extremely important. All the modules that implement nodeapi should be notified that a retranslation to the nodes marked as 'outdated' is required. For this reason I propose the new nodeapi operation 'retranslate'. Please follow up at http://drupal.org/node/207604 Thanks. dropcube.

Fileshare module development
by Ian Macdonald 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, We have seen SA-2008-004 regarding vulnerabilities in the Fileshare module and are currently evaluating how to proceed. We use the module on a number of sites to provide intranet filesharing functionality and have found it to be a very useful module. Permission to create fileshare nodes is generally quite restricted on those sites so we are investigating the scale of the vulnerability and our response. However, the fact that the project has been removed from drupal.org is disappointing, as we were planning on continuing to use the module. Does anyone else have plans to continue to use the fileshare module and contribute to its development? This is certainly something that we would be interested in.

Trigger: After flagging the translations of a source node as outdated
by developer＠dropcube.com 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi, I have been working on a patch to add a new trigger 'After flagging the translations of a source node as outdated'. This way, actions may be executed when a source post has been updated significantly and the translations are flagged as outdated. I think that it is a very useful feature for multilingual websites. To implement this was required to create a new operation for hook_nodeapi to let every module know the nodes that require a re-translation. So for each translation of a source node, node_invoke_nodeapi($translation, 'retranslate') is invoked. Translation module implement translation_hook_info() to provide description of the new hook operation added and to inform trigger.module about it. Also, translation_action_info_alter is implemented to easily add node related actions support for the new nodeapi operation. Please, follow up the issue here http://drupal.org/node/207604, the code needs review. Regards, Dropcube.

D6 core translations are not yet ready to be released
by Derek Wright 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

D6 radically changes the way core translations are done, including how things are named, and where they're laid out. The packaging scripts on d.o have to be modified to take this into account, and Gabor and myself have already started discussing the required changes [1]. Until that's done (and we'll definitely let you know when it is), please do *NOT* attempt to tag an official release of your core translations for D6. It's not going to work anyway[2], and will just create more work for us and more hassle for you. Besides, RC2 is going to break a handful of strings, so you're going to have to re-do your existing translations a little bit, anyway... Thanks, -Derek (dww) [1] http://drupal.org/node/207401 [2] http://drupal.org/node/208454 p.s. cross posting from the translators list.
