Updating custom Views plugins for D8
by Christoph Burschka 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hey everyone, seeing as Views for D8 is now well on its way and appears to be mostly (or even fully) updated to the new core plugin system, it should theoretically be possible to update plugins written for Views 7.x-3.x to run on Views 8.x-3.x. The only problem is that I can find zero documentation on how to do that. This (http://blog.erdfisch.de/2012/09/hands-introduction-drupal-8-plugin-system) comes closest, but it only explains how to create an empty style plugin, not how to make it do the same stuff an existing D7 plugin does. Anything? Or am I way too early with this? Best regards, -Chris

File upload and convert
by Chris Miller 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hi Folks, I have a content type with TWO file fields, in which I will designate TWO PDFs. On upload completion I want to run something like: "exec(pdftk f1.pdf background f2.pdf output f1.pdf)". This will "brand" f1.pdf. I don't see any standard mechanism and so I'm not sure how to go about this. I have a general understanding, but that doesn't answer the question. I am sure I don't want to intercept all possible uploads; just the uploads from this specific content type. So, can I define a file upload hook which is scoped to this specific content type? I haven't seen anything that makes me believe I can. Can I create a custom file field to use any time I need to perform a conversion? Can my custom file field "extend" the existing file field, so I don't have to port improvements/bugfixes to my custom file field version? So many questions... (-: Thanks for the help, Chris.

Thanks Scott, I did a fair bit of Googling and searching but managed to not type the right query to help me find that issue.

rawurlencode vs. urlencode in drupal_http_build_query and drupal_encode_path
by Kevin O 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Howdy folks. Due to some draconian anti-SQL injection filters in our firewall software, I'm exploring how a few things work with url building in Drupal 7 & 8. A particular firewall rule is rejecting %20and%20 which unfortunately comes up fairly often with searches and webform, because both urls for those get encoded in that way. Now, this filtering is not of course Drupal's problem, but in tracking this down, I found that basically, drupal_http_build_query and drupal_encode_path use rawurlencode and thus change spaces to %20. The space change and the lack of encoding the ~ seem to be the only difference between rawurlencode and urlencode in PHP. (further info here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/996139/php-urlencode-vs-rawurlencode ) Since drupal_http_build_query was introduced in D7 as was drupal_encode_path they both seem to have always used rawlurlencode, however the previous function for the latter was drupal_urlencode which was a wrapper for urlencode. Does anyone know why we switched to using rawurlencode instead of urlencode? Does anyone have thoughts on switching back to urlencode? I could just go file a feature request for this, but wanted to get a feel for the history and reasons for this change first. Thanks!
