control javascript behaviors order
by Jack Bates 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I have one Drupal 6 JavaScript behavior which must be run before another behavior, however the JavaScripts which set `drupal.behaviors.x` are included in the page in the opposite order. Consequently the behaviors are called in the wrong order. I did a little googling and read the section of drupal.js responsible for calling behaviors, but haven't found any techniques for controlling the order of behaviors. Do any techniques for controlling the order of behaviors currently exist, or are any planned? Thanks and best wishes, Jack

Request for comments: Remove comment history from issue emails
by Adam Light 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi All There has been a feature request to stop including the complete history of issues in each email sent when a new comment on an issue is created. There are two arguments for doing this: 1. It's a waste of bandwidth, etc. to resend the complete history for every issue, and my guess is that most people don't read anything but the most recent comment. 2. Some email programs that display messeges in a threaded format, such as Gmail, display the entire message, and therefore reading multiple comments in one thread in a row is painful. I have summarized our options with this respect in a comment on this issue at http://drupal.org/node/15380#comment-755454 If you have feelings one way or another about whether we should stop sending the complete history and instead send only the most recent comment in issue emails, please respond in the issue queue, not via email. Thanks Adam Light (aclight)

Views 2 UI
by Keith Smith 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

I recently promised merlinofchaos that I would help with the Views 2 documentation. I'm glad that I did. In reviewing Drupal 6 reviews posted across the web, I'd recently read the "Views preview" section of the post http://tek4dpipol.blogspot.com/2008/02/look-at-drupal-6-core-features-2.html, complete with screenshot. I'd seen various Views UI related posts on g.d.o, though I didn't follow any of them closely. I'd seen UI-related discussion scroll past in IRC. I assumed I was pretty well on top of "state of the art" Drupal interface designs. I was so very wrong. I checked out Views 2 over the weekend, in order to get a feel for how I might could help with strings and documentation. It is fair to say that the new interface "blew me away." It is not evolutionary, but revolutionary. Thomas Kuhn would call it a paradigm shift. It's damn sexy. Earl, what I've seen so far is just fantastic. You -- and everyone who has helped you with this -- have made something special here. I think I want to be you when I grow up. --ks

RTBC is now "reviewed & tested by the community"
by Karoly Negyesi 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hello world, After Daniel F. Kudwien pointed at http://drupal.org/node/156637 (rename RTBC) in my other RTBC thread, the issue saw a flurry of activity and, much to my delight, I was able to rename this status to something which much better reflects what it actually is. Thanks to: * fajerstarter for the new name * webchick for rerolling my small patch to make the issue state accomodate the longer name. * hunmonk for commiting and applying it on drupal.org. Enjoy!

Best practice for update_sql?
by Kieran Parsons 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

I am wondering how best to change update_sql commands for Drupal 6 modules. I know that update_sql does not to %-placeholder substitution (although previous patches suggest that it was considered and rejected -- eg http://drupal.org/node/36324) but now we also need to remove literals from db_query (http://drupal.org/node/114774#db-query-standard) and so in effect from update_sql as well. This seems to make update_sql much less useful. I looked through how the core modules deal with this and they do not seem consistent to me, and also do not seem to be following the dq_query change either. Some examples from system.install: $ret[] = update_sql("UPDATE {profile_fields} SET category = 'Account settings' WHERE LOWER(category) = 'account'"); $ret[] = update_sql("UPDATE {permission} SET perm = '$renamed_permission' WHERE rid = $role->rid"); In many other cases the update is done using db_query and then something like: $ret[] = array('success' => TRUE, 'query' => "My query"); is used. But if the db_query failed this will still appear as a success and the only error message will be in the normal error message (which presumably may only be logged and not displayed in some cases). What is the best way to deal with this? Thanks, Kieran

your issues mail
by bert boerland 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hi A long time ago <?> I got a monthly mail with a list of all the issues I filed. This was a great way for me to clean old feature request and bug reports and helps developers to have a more clean issue queue. Since some time I do not get these mails anymore. I understand that sending out bulk mail towards every person that ever filled a bug report is causing a high load on different servers, but I would love to get these mails again every month. Is this possible? -- groets, bert boerland -- my rants on my weblog ---- ------ http://boerland.com/ --
