Make Scheduler more generic
by Eric-Alexander Schaefer 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi list, we (a couple of scheduler.module users and I) have been thinking about making scheduler more generic because every other week somebody suggest another thing that needs to be scheduled. The plan is to make scheduler a provider for scheduled triggers. It would hook into the node form and let the user select a date and time and the action that is to be performed at that time (e.g. trigger "Make post sticky"-action at $date). I am about to begin coding, but I thought I should share the ideas with this list to get some more input before I start. Here are the ideas so far: http://drupal.org/node/276376 Thanks, Eric

Policy for setting issues to 'fixed'
by Eric-Alexander Schaefer 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi List, for contributed modules, what is the prefered policy for setting issues to 'fixed' that have reviewed (!) patches attached: 1. when patch has been committed (providing the commit id) 2. when patch has been committed and is part of new release (providing release number) I have observed both ways, I believe. Thanks, Eric

Re-check "code needs work" patches
by Angela Byron 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

HEAD was broken today for about 4 hours after the commit of http://drupal.org/node/74645#comment-1110500. Because this patch was missing a hunk from install.inc, testing bot correctly flagged it as "code needs work" with a reason of "Failed to install HEAD." Unfortunately, because the patch then got committed to HEAD, that meant that *every* patch the testing bot tried thereafter failed for the same reason. So over 180 patches got marked "code needs work" as their turns came up in the testing queue. :\ The *good* news is that boombatower has some code ready that will test vanilla HEAD after each commit and immediately stop processing more testing results until this situation remedies itself, should it happen again (and it probably will). It will also ping the dev list and the core maitainers via email so that they can fix it ASAP. The *bad* news is that we don't have a real easy way to undo these CNWs so this will have to be a manual process. :\ http://pastebin.ca/1258476 has a list of all of the affected issues. If your patch is on the list, please set it back to CNR and click the "Submit for re-testing" link on the erroneous failure to get it re-tested. A good rule of thumb in the future is never set a patch RTBC until it's been pinged back from the testing bot, which will ensure: a) The patch applies b) The patch doesn't cause Drupal to fail to install c) The patch doesn't have a PHP syntax error d) All of the automated tests pass -Angie

Views 2 API hook_views_data and node relationships
by Domas Monkus 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Hi, my module creates and maintains a table that basically links pairs of nodes together (it has two columns, both representing nids). I want to use views to show all nodes related through this table to the node that is currently being viewed. What should the hook_views_data look like? I read through the documentation, but didn't manage to figure this out. Thanks in advance, Domas

Add consistency to node hooks
by Henrique Recidive 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hello, a while ago I've submitted a patch to bring more consistency to node hooks, so they are inline with other drupal data hooks such as hook_user_*(), hook_file_*(). Node hooks are special, i.e. there are two kinds of node hooks: 1) hooks for modules which implement node types: hook_load(), hook_save(), etc and 2) hooks for all modules (those which implement node types and those which don't): hook_nodeapi_load(), hook_nodeapi_save(). In my opinion type #1 hooks have meaningless names, since they don't explicit say they are for extending node functionality. And type #2 hooks are very similar to hook_user_*(), hook_file_*() ones, so why they have 'nodeapi' in their names, not just 'node'? Basically what the patch does is changing type #1 hooks so they can be implemented in the following two ways: Node type specific: E.g. poll_node_form_poll() Node type agnostic: E.g. poll_node_form() This way modules which implement node types can have either a) one hook implementation for *each* node type they implement (the first case above), or one single hook for *all* node types they implement. The patch also rename type #2 hooks changing 'nodeapi' to 'node', to make them inline with other APIs. So e.g. hook_nodeapi_load() becomes hook_node_load(). What do you guys/gals think? Please comment on the issue: http://drupal.org/node/322485 Thanks, Henrique

Announcing DRUPAL-7-0-UNSTABLE-3
by Angela Byron 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hello, devel list! :) Due to travel and other factors, it has been about a month since our last unstable release. There are some really exciting, big patches coming down the pipe, so I wanted to roll this interim release so contributed module developers interested in chasing HEAD have something a bit more current to build from. See http://drupal.org/node/224333#UNSTABLE-3 for the full list of API changes this release. Here are some of the things we've been up to for the last month. Once again, I encourage contributors to use http://groups.drupal.org/patch-spotlight as a place to organize, prioritize, and coordinate on patches they'd like to see in Drupal 7. For developers: =============== - drupal_set_title() now check_plain()s by default, which should help developers prevent XSS. - Performance improvements: the registry now keeps a record of all modules that implement a given hook, and caches registry lookups. - Taxonomy gets some love, with new hook_taxonomy_term_load/insert/update/delete() hooks and various standardization/consistency improvements. - SimpleTest now remembers the tests that were last selected so they can be re-run (WOOHOO) and can catch errors and warnings that come up during test runs, even if they're not part of an actual assertion. - Improvements to drupal_add_js(), which now has some cleaned-up parameters and a full-on weighting system for scripts. More drupal_add_js() improvements are in the pipeline, and expect them to make it over to drupal_add_css() as well. - Ground work has been laid in the database system for supporting of more exotic database drivers. Expect to see SQLite support in UNSTABLE-4! - Also on the database side of things, numerous files and modules have been converted from legacy syntax to the new DBTNG syntax. A great place to help out if you're interested in learning this stuff hands-on in advance of when you are forced to. ;) For users: ========== - New, swanky password checker during installation and on the my account page. - Cron is automatically run once upon installation so that Drupal doesn't immediately clobber you with a nasty error as a way of saying "Welcome." - The content types administration screen shrinks down the "in-your-face-ness" of the machine name of the type. - It is now possible (though not easy ;)) to upgrade from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7! Unfortunately, this currently still requires some manual futzing with settings.php. See http://drupal.org/node/304163 if you'd like to help. Looking forward to your patches/reviews in the issue queue! :) -Angie -- Join us at Do It With Drupal!

how to start a drupal like project
by My Own Linux 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

I want to write my own open source web application and make it as flexible and usable as drupal. I have no experience with a project this size. How do I go about it ? What do I need to do first and how do I plan the project ? I dont know where to start. I need to know the core technical side of project planning (not the hosting, cvs, etc..) data structures file system layouts theme, modules support, etc..
