Bug in _db_create_field_sql?
by Richard Morse 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi! I've discovered a possible bug in _db_create_field_sql for MySQL, but I'm not positive, and I can't believe this hasn't come up before, but I can't find any bug reports, so I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing. According to the MySQL docs, a numeric column specification is NUMERIC (precision, scale) [at least, I think that's what they want -- they talk about precision and scale in the data type reference, but refer to length and decimals in the CREATE TABLE syntax]. However, in _db_create_field_sql for MySQL, according to api.drupal.org, the order used is scale, precision. Is there something I'm missing? Is there already a bug report for this, and if so where (and how did you find it)? I couldn't find anything about this using either Google or Drupal search...

Image module needs help
by Addison Berry 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi there folks, I had said several weeks ago that when I got some time I planned to finish the Image module port to 6. I haven't been able to find that time and it doesn't look likely for at least a few more weeks. Now that we have opened dev for D7 and are getting ready to roll D6, we *really* need help to get Image upgraded. Just wanted everyone to know that I'm not going to be able to do it myself, so that people wouldn't assume "someone's taking care of that." Addi (aka add1sun)

Beta 6 of Marc Liyanage's PHP build for Leopard is out. Don't know if it has everything needed for postgres, but I'm guessing it might it... Leopard: PHP 5.2.5 Release 6 BETA: http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2945

Hi, I added When and how to use menu_links http://drupal.org/node/217393 in hopes it will clean up a bit the split between router and links. If the handbook page is not clear enough, comment, edit, find me with questions, etc. Regards, NK

Around this weekend? Want to save me from a nervous breakdown? Read on! ; )
by Angela Byron 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

So as you may or may not know, the GHOP contest *ends* this weekend (Sunday night Pacific [California] time). As you also may or may not know, both myself and Addi are not going to be around much, since we'll be headed to LA for work, and that leaves poor aclight to do all the last minute GHOP admin stuff by himself. :( What we need is a small horde (or preferably a large one!) of people around in #drupal-ghop to answer student questions, as well as keeping an eye on the following issues, which are the only remaining tasks in play. All of these tasks **MUST** be reviewed and marked "Closed" by 23:59 PST Feb. 3, or the student will *not* receive credit for their final tasks. :( Code tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/212731 - Git backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/212729 - Mercurial backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/212732 - SVN backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/211215 - SimpleTests for CCK * http://drupal.org/node/210547 - Port cck_map to D6 * http://drupal.org/node/70596 - Views support for Atom module * http://drupal.org/node/209375 - Port Bluebreeze theme to D6 Marketing tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/210105 - Create presentation of top 5 modules * http://drupal.org/node/202312 - Create a 30 second commercial for D6 Documentation tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/212512 - Document the flexifilter module * http://drupal.org/node/200879 - PHPDoc for FAQ and Avatar modules Usability tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/211072 - Usability tests for Drupal admin * http://drupal.org/node/211815 - Usability tests for Drupal install So if you're around this weekend *particularly* those last, perilous couple of hours on Sunday night, I would be deeply in your debt if you would make it a point to be around and helping with reviews and answering student questions as much as you can. Thanks so much in advance, -Angie

Many to many relationships?
by Graeme McKibbin 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Does anybody know how to create the equivalent of a many-to-many relationship? Ie: On an input form, say I have a dropdown with 5 items in it. I want the user to be able to select one, and then input an integer value that would be associated with the selected item. Kind Regards, Graeme McKibbin Software Developer

Hi, Has anyone used the Computed Field? http://drupal.org/project/ computed_field It's great for calculating sums of fields, but the problem is it doesn't come up in the Field List when creating a view. Any ideas? Kind Regards, Graeme McKibbin Software Developer
