Haven't seen that used anywhere, but don't admins have better things to do than to wade through duplicate control pages? Hans

Best practices: Config settings
by Gerhard Killesreiter 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, my question is: Where should contrib module authors put config options for their modules? 1) Should this always be the individual module's settings page? 2) Should it try to add the config option to a more generic place (either provided by core or another module it depends on)? 3) Should it add it to both places? Concrete example: I've added a performance related variable to event module. The value of the variable decides whether to do a full node load for each event on a calendar or to only use title, start, and end date from one mysql query. Now I need to put the UI for this variable somewhere... The variable also has influence on the theme you use since you can't print out any other node content fields if they aren't there. The event functions that event.module ships with for example expect the presence of a teaser field. In principle, I think that the variable should be set at admin/settings/performance but who is going to look there again after each newly installed module?

Re: [development] Using Admin Theme on Other Pages
by Ben Wheeler 08 Jan '08

Sorry, I'm reviving this thread from about a week ago. I've been in the process of moving and haven't had a chance to look at it again until tonight. I discovered the problem. I have my custom site module's weight set to 10, because it has to run after other modules (e.g. webfm*) and so I guess it was running after theming. * Specifically, my hook_form_alter has to run after webfm's because I added an extra validation function so that user's are required to attach at least one file using webfm to particular node types. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. Are there any other options for me besides renaming my module z_custom? Am I approaching this the wrong way? Thanks.

Actually if you make it an addition to Site Notes, I can close a feature request. Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP

Admin Notes
by Aaron Winborn 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

This module idea (for Admin Notes) is one I've wanted for some time. Before I add this, can folks let me know if something like this already exists? Any comments, ideas, or criticisms? This would be useful for developers, admins & editors to add development notes to individual pages and views, easily visible and accessible directly from a page or menu tree in question. Thanks, Aaron Winborn Advomatic // $Id: README.txt,v 1.1 2008/01/07 21:14:19 aaron Exp $ The Admin Notes module creates a block that displays a comment followed by a form. The form contains a textarea pre-filled with the existing comment. Each comment is associated with a page, and any child pages in that menu tree. Any parent comments will be displayed above the current page comment (if any). For example: on the /articles page: Admin Notes =========== This page is created with a view. It lists all nodes of the article type. ------------------------ + This page is created + + with a view. It + + lists all nodes of + + the article type. + ------------------------ Submit Delete ------------------------------- on the /articles/2008 page: Admin Notes =========== (grayed text, from parent page) (This page is created with a view.) (It lists all nodes of the article type.) This view lists all articles published in 2008. ------------------------ + This view lists all + + articles published + + in 2008. + + + ------------------------ Submit Delete

gearing up for a Drupal 6 RC2 on monday (Jan 7)
by Gábor Hojtsy 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hello World, I am planning/preparing to release Drupal 6.0 RC2 on Monday (7th January). Right now, we are at a total of 6 critical issues, two of which are user experience issues (hiding textareas and the teaser splitter), two are database issues (improper indexes were added in RC1, user_save() misbehaves with improper data), and we have a search issue and an update.php memory limit issue. I hope to see even more testers around the patches presented, and eventually have "many" of these fixed by the time RC2 is rolled. I crafted an announcement node for RC2, although it was quite hard to come up with a list of issues fixed since RC1 in human terms, since most of the issues are quite obscure, only occurring under weird circumstances: http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0-rc2 Polishing this up is also appreciated. The shrinking criticals queue also means that we are getting really close to the final release (unless major bugs surface). So if you are module / theme maintainers, feel free to jump on the opportunity to update your contributions. :) Translators will have new templates generated, as RC2 has a (really) small number of string changes, which were necessary to make. As it looks from the criticals queue, fixing some bugs will require more small additions to strings. Gabor
