URL function with i18n localization
by Mukesh Agarwal 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi Guys, I'm using rate module for voting. When an anonymous user clicks on the voting widget, the user is redirected to a url "user/login-to-rate". I'm also using i18n for localization. The issue with both of these together is that when I'm on a page with the URL "en/my-url" and I click on the voting widget, I'm redirected to "de/user/login-to-rate" where "de" is my default language. Ideally the user should be going to "en/user/login-to-rate" i.e. user selected language should be respected. Going into details, I find that the rate module calls url function: print url('user/login-to-rate', array('query' => $query, 'absolute' => TRUE )); and here there is no language paramater that is passed which means the default site language gets selected. Am I missing something here in the configuration? Has anyone faced a similar problem and can help? -- Cheers, Mukesh Agarwal ________________________________ Innoraft Solutions <http://www.innoraft.com> || +91 8017220799

Programmatically update allowed_html filter settings
by Cameron B. Prince 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi, The baseline module I'm developing needs to add the <span> tag to the allowed_html value for the filtered_html text filter when enabled. I've searched the core modules, the standard installation profile, Drupal.org and Google, but I haven't been able to find an example of the proper way to do this in a module.install's hook_enable(). I assume I should use filter_format_save() and tried the following: filter_format_save('filtered_html', 'filter_html', 1, 1, array( 'settings' => array( 'allowed_html' => '<a> <em> <strong> <cite> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <span>' ) ) ); This resulted in "PDOException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'format' cannot be null" which I don't understand because the first argument to filter_format_save() is the format. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Cameron

115,000 records -- nodes or custom
by Sam Cohen 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi. I was hoping for some advice. I recently took over an existing Drupal site for a nonprofit. The client currently has a searchable database of a 115,000 records written in cold fusion in a separate database on a separate server. They would like me to bring it into their Drupal 6 site or at least onto the same server. I can do this in two ways: 1. As a custom module running off it's own db. 2. Or I can make it a content type and use Views for the interface. My preference is to just use CCK/Views for maximum flexibility -- but I question whether or not it's wise to add a 115k records to the node and other tables and what type of impact this might have on overall site performance. (Any other downsides?) Anyone have any advice/suggestions? If it was your project would you code it separately or use CCK/Views.

Require external files from module.install
by Cameron B. Prince 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hello, I am working on a module with a rather large install file. This module is more like a cross between an installation profile and a set of features than it is a normal module. One of its functions is to create numerous content types and fields at activation. The arrays that are needed to handle this are pretty large and I'd like to store them as multiple external files (one for each content type). The bundle_copy and features modules are being used to create the arrays and import code from bundle_copy is used to process the arrays and create the entities from a master $data array in each file. The code looks like this: /** * Implements hook_enable(). */ function baseline_enable() { foreach(glob(drupal_get_path('module', 'baseline') . '/includes/install/{*.entities}', GLOB_BRACE) as $file) { require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . $file; /* IMPORT CODE */ } } When the module is enabled via drush the contents of each file are printed to the screen and the $data variable is not populated. When enabled from the UI, there is no output or errors and the module is enabled, but no content types or fields are generated. I thought there might be an issue with glob, so I changed the code to read the directory to this: $handle = opendir(drupal_get_path('module', 'baseline') . '/includes/install/'); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if (strpos($file, '.entities')) { require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . drupal_get_path('module', 'baseline') . '/includes/install/' . $file; } } This produces the same results. Can someone help me understand what's going on here? Thanks, Cameron

resetting a form
by Si Hobbs 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hi I am doing an ajax callback, and I want to return a fresh version of a form as content. This is after the form has successfully submitted. So instead of something like: return 'Thanks for your submission'; Which works, I want to do: return 'Thanks for your submission' . drupal_render(drupal_get_form('foo')); However when I get that that form, it is not fresh. The form system reprocesses the form, re-runs the submit handler, and returns a form with the $form_state['values'] all populated. So, I've been trying to work out how to reset the form. For example, this sort of thing doesn't successfully clear the form: cache_clear_all('form_' . $form_state['values']['form_build_id'], 'cache_form'); cache_clear_all('form_state_' . $form_state['values']['form_build_id'], 'cache_form'); drupal_static_reset('drupal_retrieve_form'); Thanks for any tips.

Remove Meta Tag Generator

Hi, I noticed that by default this tag is written: <meta name="Generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" /> I'm perplexed about that and I discover that someone else is sharing my point of view: http://drupal.org/node/982034 Do you think it would be possibile to add an option in the admin panel to switch off this feature?
