HTML emails
by Matt Connolly 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

I haven't looked at drupal 7 yet, so I'm throwing this out there for discussion. The D6 mail api seems like it's pretty much designed for plain text emails, however, a module's implementation of hook_mail can clearly set the headers of the mail to "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8" and send rich text. For example, I'm looking at using "forward" module for the "email this page" link on a node, and the "simplenews" module, which uses "mimemail" to send rich emails, including attachments. Both "forward" and "mimemail" modules create a html header. The problem occurs when a module implements "drupal_mail_wrapper()" to build a html header when hook_mail has already done that - you can easily end up with bodies like: <!doctype... <-- from drupal_mail_wrapper() <html> <head>...</head> <body><div.... <!doctype. <-- from hook_mail() <html> <head> ... etc. Because there are two opportunities to create the html "head" for the message: in hook_mail and drupal_mail_wrapper. I'm throwing this out there for discussion, I think that the hook_mail should construct the message in a similar fashion to the Form API, specifying a theme for rendering the body part of the message (ie what goes in the <body> tag) and anything special that needs to go in the head as attributes. That way the message can be constructed only once. Besides, email clients have been HTML friendly for a *long* time, so I don't see why Drupal shouldn't have an interface that understands rich email messages. Thoughts? Matt

Need advices from Drupal guru: develop modules that support multilanguages
by Vu The Cuong 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Dear all I have a project building a portal site (somewhat like myspace.com) for 4 countries: - Japan - Spain - France - England Outline: When users access toppage, system will: 1) check which country is this user from 2) Then redirect user to page that displaying content in corresponding to him/her country language Pages for each country is different in language but totally same in content: Subject, title, label, and main content body also. So I need advices from you: About 1): first option is: I planned to uses Accept-Language request header from browser to check where user is from. Second option is: I planned to user Multiviews in Apache to handling this. And I will redirect user based on above returned result. So my question is: - Above solutions is OK? - Do I need to pay any attention on something? - Is any better solution out there? About 2) I would like to receive any advices from you about: - Ex about using t() function, handling date and times etc - text strings used commonly such as labels on form buttons. - body content such as blog articles, informational pages and static blocks - And any others. Thanks in advanced

Ahah sometimes working, different users
by Matt Connolly 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

I'm doing my first AHAH coding. I have a "SELECT" in a form that is doing Ahah on event=change. For now, the returning code simply puts the selected value into a string and displays it in the wrapper. When I log in as the admin user, it works fine. When I log in as another user, the value of the select is not coming across in the POST from the ahah script. ie: the code runs and I see the result, but the result is an empty string because the is no $_REQUEST['field-name'] set. Has anyone seen this? -Matt

Re: [development] Peculiar behavior of collapsible fieldset titles

I never would have expected the choice of escaped or non-escaped t() substitution to behave this way, but changing % to ! in my t() calls fixed the problem everywhere it occurred. Thanks for the tip. I didn't think to use a DOM/CSS inspector because it didn't occur to me that this would be a DOM/CSS problem. Since part of the field was there, I thought it must have two different copies of the data somewhere, with one being incomplete. I think I still need to use the DOM/CSS inspector now, even though the problem is gone, because I want to find where in my stylesheets the display:none is occurring that it shouldn't. I assume that's the root cause of the issue, and will use Firefox to find out. Perhaps (and I'll check this first) there are different ID or CLASS attributes assigned by t() depending on the nature of its field substitutions. Thanks again to you and Darrel for steering me in the right direction. Scott -- Syscrusher <syscrusher(a)4th.com>

I didn't actually mean to hit send on that snarky response, so I guess I should actually try to be helpful. If you're working with Drupal 5, menu_get_menu() in includes/menu.inc is the only function I'm aware of that reads or writes cached menu data. In Drupal 6 there are quite a few more. Search for calls to cache_set and cache_get with 'cache_menu' as the second parameter. If you're writing a whole new database driver, my first guess would be charset issues - I once accidentally converted a MySQL table to the wrong charset and it broke the serialized data. -john

can I build multi-hierachy node
by Vu The Cuong 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

In Drupal I can have simple navigation such as Home->Blog But I want to more deep hierarchy like below: Home->Product->ABCproduct list->When click any link on this list->ABC products detail individual displayed. So my questions are: - Is there a way to implement this without coding? - In order to implement this, do I need to create new content type named Product? If yes, Is there a way to create this content-type without coding? Thanks in advanced.
