Flowchart of index.php - request for comments
by jp.stacey＠torchbox.com 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, Further to the flowchart of FAPI in Drupal 5/6 that Karen and I worked on at <http://drupal.org/node/165104> , I've put up a flowchart of the general index.php workflow at: http://drupal.org/node/172562 I think index.php is the same in D5 and current CVS head. Please let me know if you've any comments, or you think it might be useful. I hope it's of some use to newbies regardless, but for me it's already been helpful in diagnosing a possible source of white screens of death (see my comments in the issue node). Cheers, J-P -- J-P Stacey Torchbox Ltd. +44 (0)1608 811870 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

The future of OO and Drupal?
by Caleb Gilbert 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

My apologies if this has already been covered at length elsewhere, but given that PHP 5 will be the minimum required version for Drupal - what effect will that have on Drupal's code base from this point forward? Are current 'leading' discussions indicating that over time large parts of Drupal will be written/re-written in a totally OO way? I ask because I'm wondering if a fully OO contrib module for Drupal 6 would be considered as having been 'correctly' done in a 'Drupal-way', or not. (all other things being correct/equal, of course)

Drupal Numbers
by Fabiano Sant'Ana 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Hi Folks, Someone can give me some drupal numbers? Or where I can find it? I'm very interested about how many contrib modules we have, how many page views does d.o have, how many cvs commits, and these kind of things.. As some of you know I will present Drupal at UNICAMP on Tuesday, and I'm needing this to finish the presentation. I already asked drupal-assoc and dries, but they should be busy, as they didn't replied me. So, with any of you could help me, I would be very veeery thankful.. Thanks, Fabiano Sant'Ana

I thought it would be easier to read if the individual changes where put into a list, so I broke them out into a dl. I also took a stab at explaining the new theme system, but someone should make sure I explained it correctly.

I don't understand all the changes well enough to write something, but we should also mention the themeing changes and that you will now have lots of .tpl files you can drop in your theme to more easily customize your site. ----- Original Message ---- From: Gábor Hojtsy <gabor(a)hojtsy.hu> To: development(a)drupal.org Sent: Saturday, September 1, 2007 2:22:23 AM Subject: [development] draft beta 1 announcement Hi people, I drafted a beta 1 announcement (without the usual text copied over, because I was away from the net, while writing).

JS coding standards?
by Peter Wolanin 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

webernet and Joon Park (dvessel) just figured out why JS breaks when the aggregator is enabled in 6.x: http://drupal.org/node/172149 I just started a handbook page relating to standards for JS code, since there doesn't seem to be one: http://drupal.org/node/172169 Please add to that page or point me to any existing page. -Peter

Help fix Actions API - test the patch!
by Jeff Eaton 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

The Actions API is now officially part of Drupal 6, and it's a tremendously powerful addition that (I think) will bear lots of fruit over the D6 life cycle. Things like custom workflow management solutions, streamlined application-specific user and content administration panels, and so on are all easy to build on top of the Actions API. However, the current implementation has a couple of subtle issues that cripple it for broad use. Our pattern for core constructs (menus and paths in particular) is to provide a foo.inc file that exposes a core API, and an optional foo.module that provides additional advanced customization options. Actions in D6 follows this pattern, but there appear to be a number of unintentional dependencies between the .inc file and the .module file. Specifically, action-related tables are never created, and action data is never initialized, until actions.module is installed. This means that actions.module -- which is only ONE possible application of the Actions API, and one that is unnecessary for many sites -- becomes an absolute requirement. Webchick and I have built a patch that fixes this, moving the truly core actions API functions into the .inc file, moving one setup screen into system.module, and keeping the advanced hook-to-action mapping UI in the optional actions.module. The patch also fixes a number of schema related issues and code style problems that chx has pointed out in the past. I'd encourage everyone who's interested in a powerful and flexible Actions infrastructure to check out http://drupal.org/node/155828 ;-) Thanks!
