SOLR
by Dragomilov 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi, I need a multi-site search system but I am new in Drupal search. Firstly I tried http://drupal.org/project/multisite_search however it didn't work well, some words wasn't indexed. So I began to planning on setting up SOLR in order to use http://drupal.org/project/apachesolr_multisitesearch. (Google option is not sutiable for us.) Then I notice that there is a module such as http://drupal.org/project/nutch. So I am confused. Is there anybody who could explain difference between these modeule (even pure SOLR search)? I am also open to any suggestion about search, any module, SOLR w/o Drupal modules, any other search options... Thank you all in advance...

Removing variables
by Peter Anderson 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi all, I have a module that uses quite a few variables and would like to remove them in my hook_uninstall() function, but I don't want to have to list them all manually... I see three ways to do this: 1 - Run variable_del() for each variable manually 2 - List all variables then remove the ones that start with my module's name 3 - Delete variables directly from the database that start with my module's name I'm obviously trying to avoid #1. I've used #2 before (http://drupalbin.com/18718) but am worried about the possible performance implications of running a foreach() on every variable in Drupal... Is this good or not? I'd prefer not to resort to using SQL to delete variables from the database directly as in #3, but this may be the only recommended option... What is the recommended way to call variable_del() on a bunch of variables? I'm using D7 if that helps. Thanks. -- Kind regards, Peter Anderson. http://panda.id.au

Inline form errors
by Steven Jones 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hello developers, We're building a site that has a form in a block in one of our sidebars. If the user enters incorrect values, the form validation happens correctly, and errors are flagged up. However the messages such as: 'The title field is required' Appear in the main messages region, at the top of the page content, which is nowhere near our form on the page, which is in a sidebar. The fields in the form are highlighted, so the user can see that something is wrong with the input, but the messages are a mile away. Is there any module or method for getting the validation messages for the current form in the location of the form itself, and out of the global messages? Or any effort to get something like this into core? I'm happy to code something if I need to, just wondered if anyone had tackled this before?

Passing views filters to attached feeds
by E.J. Zufelt 23 May '11

23 May '11

Good morning, Using Views 3 and Drupal 7. I have created a page display with a single exposed filter for taxonomy term id. There is a feed display attached to this view. When I click on the link for the feed the filter settings e.g. ?tid=2 is passed onto the feed's path e.g. /blog.xml?tid=2 Is there a simple way for me to allow the feed display to be filtered by this argument? I tried using a contextual filter (argument), but it appears to be looking for /2 and not for ?tid=2 Thanks in advance, Everett Zufelt http://zufelt.ca Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/ezufelt View my LinkedIn Profile http://www.linkedin.com/in/ezufelt

multi-lingual migration problems
by Karen Stevenson 21 May '11

21 May '11

I am working on the Content Migrate module to migrate field data from D6 to D7. Many things are now working nicely but I have a nasty problem that has erupted in various ways around what value to use for the 'language' in the fields that are migrated. Here is what happens on a fresh D7 install, without migration: - If you create new fields in the UI, all every field is created with the flag 'translatable' set to TRUE. There is no apparent way to create a field in the UI that has 'translatable' set to FALSE. - If you create new fields using field_create_field() 'translatable' is set to FALSE, unless you explicitly set a value for 'translatable' and set it to TRUE, This looks like a bad idea, having opposite defaults for the two methods of creating fields. So any process that uses the API to create fields will create fields that are inconsistent with fields created in the UI, unless it follows the UI pattern of forcing every field to be translatable. Plus every process that creates fields programmatically has to explicitly set that value to avoid unexpected results. Core has already been bit by this confusion -- the migrated node body field is marked as translatable but the migrated comment body is *not* translatable. Plus there really should be some way for a field weigh in on this. Things like number and date fields should probably not be translatable, but there seems to be no way a field module can control that. I have been trying to sort through the migration issues in http://drupal.org/node/1063852, if anyone wants to help. I tried to see if any core issues were filed around this but couldn't see any. I'm trying to get my head around which of these are 'bugs' and which are just things I have to work around. I do not even use translations myself, so it's very hard for me to be sure I am drawing the right conclusions. I hope someone who does understand the translation system can jump in here.
