I am seeing this strange behavior on a production Drupal 5 site. On the home page, for example, the search box (Zen Classic theme) looks like this: <form action="/" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="search-theme-form"> <div><div id="search" class="container-inline"> <input type="text" maxlength="128" name="search_theme_form_keys" id="edit-search-theme-form-keys" size="15" value="" title="Enter the terms you wish to search for." class="form-text" /><input type="submit" name="op" id="edit-submit" value="Search" class="form-submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_token" id="edit-search-theme-form-form-token" value="27881d0551e2fb0b07bf4534be132882" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-search-theme-form" value="search_theme_form" /> </div> However, on the user/register page, the form action has changed. <form action="/user/register" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="search-theme-form"> <div><div id="search" class="container-inline"> <input type="text" maxlength="128" name="search_theme_form_keys" id="edit-search-theme-form-keys" size="15" value="" title="Enter the terms you wish to search for." class="form-text" /><input type="submit" name="op" id="edit-submit" value="Search" class="form-submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_token" id="edit-search-theme-form-form-token" value="57691367f22e79d3be988cb611d7ce47" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-search-theme-form" value="search_theme_form" /> </div> So the search form elements are being returned to the user registration function and the submission process is failing with The form data has been altered, the session-id field is required.

Replacement for token functions in D7.
by Dipen 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, Now that token in is D7 core, whats the replacement for token_get_list($type). How can I find list of token's associated with a type (or thats not the right understanding) Previously I would do token_get_list('node') to get node tokens. I couldn find it in token.inc, Also if anyone knows any link for changes in token usage starting from D7. I did find token_scan($text) but I think it just find list of tokens in a text. Cheers Dipen

Accommodating a second base_url
by Jeff Greenberg 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I'm working on a site that can be invoked via two different url's (mapped to the same directory). The requested url will dictate what top banner the site uses. Also, because there are likely many places in the site that $base_url is used, and the url appearing throughout the session should be that which was initially used, I will need to alter $base_url. So, I'm thinking I should just hook_init, and based on the http request, alter $base_url if needed, and do a variable_set that I later retrieve in the theme to alter (or not) the background-image used as the top banner. Is this the best approach? Jeff

tying user and content_profile together in a view or module
by Jeff Greenberg 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I'm using content_profile, and need to have an admin user report that lists user info including the profile fields. It seems that content_profile exposes itself in some templates, but not as a global (such as $user) or to views. If I create a user view, I can't get to the content_profile node I think, and vice-versa. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

re CVS requirements
by Jeff Greenberg 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

So, here's another example (I think) of what I would consider CVS censorship. I've spent a couple hours already today trying to get a simplenews subscription checkbox onto the Ubercart checkout. Found the function in simplenews, but it has a parm that I can't find the source of, etc. Busy work that I don't need. I find an entry at Ubercart after much searching, for a module that was developed -just for this- requirement. It adds a simplenews newsletter subscription pane to the checkout process. Here is the author's explanation of why it's listed there and not at drupal.org: "I think the module was a bit too simple to put on the main Drupal site (my application for a CVS account was rejected Smiling so I'll put it here instead."

Pubsubhubbub hub in Drupal
by Alex Barth 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Anybody considering writing a pubsubhubbub hub in Drupal? http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/ This could be useful for small content syndication projects: A Drupal site could be publisher and hub at the same time for a low number of subscriber sites.

Multiple forms on same page
by Dayton Perkins 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

I am doing what I think should be a simple module to organize my clip files. I am looping through the file names in a directory. For each file name, I wish to create a form; alternately if the name is in the database, an edit form, or if not, an add form to insert title, author, blurb, clipId. How do I create a form and then feed it into drupal_get_form()? I pass an incremented value to my form function. If I try to name the form such as $form{$i}, I run into warnings. Than you for your patience :-) Kindest Regards, Dayton Perkins Good News Design Interactive Web sites for business mailto:dayton@goodnewsdesign.com http://goodnewsdesign.com <http://goodnewsdesign.com/> Phone: 616-399-5617 Cell: 616-405-6360 3611 Butternut Drive Lot 40 Holland MI 49424

Drupal 7 API change in hook_theme()
by Angela Byron 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

During the Drupal 7 development cycle, we made a couple of changes to theme functions, notably: 1. They now all take a standardized array of variables instead of an arbitrary list of parameters (see http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7#theme_changes) . 2. When passing in a renderable element (such as forms, pages, content, etc.), you can pass in parameters via #properties (see http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7#poundtheme) . Unfortunately, these two changes clash with one another in the case where you pass in a single non-renderable argument to your theme function, and we didn't catch this until the couple days or so before code freeze. It then took a few additional days to get an acceptable fix together. (http://drupal.org/node/600974 if you're curious about the backstory here.) Therefore, we have the first of what is *hopefully* a very short list ;) of Drupal 7 API changes post-code freeze. Please be advised that if your D7 module defines a hook_theme(), you need to change it in the following way: 1. Where you used to say 'arguments' => array('whatever' => NULL, 'whatever' => NULL), you now say 'variables' => array('whatever' => NULL, 'whatever' => NULL) 2. In the case where you're passing in a renderable element to your theme function (such as the case of a form theme function), instead of specifying it in the list of variables, you'll simply add: 'render element' => 'form' and omit the 'variables' line altogether. Sorry for the hassle, but believe me, this is a *much* better situation than not being able to have theme functions with one argument. :P And thanks so very much to those who've embraced #D7CX and have started porting your modules already! -Angie
