Shopping for medium- to long-term project
by jeff＠ayendesigns.com 04 Nov '10

Thanks to all of you who tossed me various things when my gig fell through! I'm back to put out a feeler for any medium- to long-term (4 weeks+) opportunities for developer/site builder. All work is good, of course, but with the pre-launch cycle being pretty much the same for all work: discussions, requirements gathering, paperwork, it's much more efficient to follow 1-2 weeks (elapsed) of that with a 1-2+ month project!

custom notification system
by Aldo Martinez Selleras 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I'm working on a system developed in drupal. In this system create trophies to be assigned to users according to the behavior of these in different ways. Trophies will have categories related to aspects. I need each time you create one of these categories will send a notification to the user webmaster and this will give permission to be believed or not the proposed category. The problem I see is that all these modules I created without using precisely the nodes in drupal, I mean, use separate tables, and I think that the application of the actions and triggers will not adequate as i need, using the hook_nodeapi. Someone can give me any suggestions on how we could create a notifications system that meets my expectations?

WYSIWYG editors and iPad (iOS)
by nan wich 03 Nov '10

My customers users are beginning to use iPads. They also want to use the current WYSIWYG editors, as they do through their laptops. Since iOS doesn't like javascript much, the editor doesn't work on the iPad (or iPhone). Does anyone know of some way to make it work?

Problem with uploading images with RTL names
by Ivan Rocha 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi, I am in trouble with uploading images that have arabic names. I think Drupal try to match the wrongly the three last characters os the image's name. As an arabic name has the RTL write form, the 'jpg' is in the left side. Drupal says that "The select file jpg, could not be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: png, gif, jpg, jpeg". I have searched the web, but didn't find issues about this question. I would like some help about how I can proceed to solve this problem. Bellow is an attach image containing the error and the image's name. Regards, Ivan. -- Ivan Rocha

Re: [development] Cluster with drupal ?
by Kevin O 03 Nov '10

If you set up a cluster using ndbcluster tables then some modifications are necessary. Since we use such an architecture, I have written about it here: http://www.coderintherye.com/drupal-mysql-cluster-ndbcluster-high-availabil… On that note, there are some issues in core a while back that could use some looking at relating to get ndbcluster support out of the box with Drupal (filed against 8.x): http://drupal.org/node/703916 and http://drupal.org/node/391130 Cheers, Kevin O'Brien Drupal Developer http://www.coderintherye.com 415-754-0112 ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 18:17:00 -0600 > From: Cameron Eagans <cweagans(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [development] Cluster with drupal ? > To: development(a)drupal.org > Message-ID: > <AANLkTikHOpyUr_ps8B5Fy+BwRu8sPSecCWTYU42AHVLj(a)mail.gmail.com<AANLkTikHOpyUr_ps8B5Fy%2BBwRu8sPSecCWTYU42AHVLj(a)mail.gmail.com> > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > I actually just set something like this up for a client.

Drupal 7 API Change notification: Key changes
by Randy Fay 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

*We try to notify this list when API changes are made in Drupal 7, so contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken.* (issue <http://drupal.org/node/950138>) New *field_widget_field*() / * field_widget_instance*() API functions to encapsulate access to Field API $form_state data. *If your module defines a field and a widget for that field*, you may well be affected if your widget depends on $element callbacks (#process, #element_validate, #value_callback). See the excellent API change summary <http://drupal.org/node/950138#comment-3649842>; it's recommended to wait on implementing this until D7 beta 3. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/934050>) In the {filter} and {filter_format} tables, '*format' became a string instead of the traditional int*, to accomodate machine names for filters. Although existing installs will simply be updated to '1' being the string format of 'plain text', '2' being the string format of 'filtered html', or whatever, a new install actually has formats of 'plain_text', 'filtered_html', 'full_html', and the like. If your module actually looks at the contents of {filter} or {filter_format} then you may have work to do. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/914458>) *filter_format_delete*() was changed to *filter_format_disable*(), and its behavior has changed. * hook_filter_format_delete*() became *hook_filter_format_disable*(). And {filter_format} table has a new 'status' column that must be respected in queries. In short: *If you're working with filters, look at this one*. Read the excellent API change summary<http://drupal.org/node/914458#comment-3625890> . (issue <http://drupal.org/node/902008>) Field modules which are actually optional are no longer listed as required dependencies. Therefore, if your module depends on an optional field module (like 'options' or 'list') then you have to explicitly list in in the dependencies[] in the .info file of your own module. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/942690>) STREAM_WRAPPERS_REMOTE, STREAM_WRAPPERS_LOCAL, and some related constants were removed (and moved around) in stream_wrappers.inc. If you have implemented a stream wrapper, this will probably be worth looking at. I suspect that there may be some breakage in the Examples project from these changes.
