Since in the past some developers have wished they had better notifications, there's an important discussion about Drupal 8 core, classes, and namespaces here: http://drupal.org/node/1240138 Please do not reply to this email. If you want to respond to the proposal (for or against, although I like the for-responses better <g>), please do so on the issue. --Larry Garfield

GSoC Doc Summit for Drupal?
by adam 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

hi, I am new to the Drupal list but I wanted to encourage the Drupal Doc team and individuals on the list to apply for the GSoC Documentation Summit (details below): https://sites.google.com/site/docsprintsummit/ You can apply as an individual or a group. Applications close Friday (5th), application process takes about 2-5 mins :) It will be a great summit and focuses on developing concrete outcomes (books) and an unconference to get people talking about free documentation of free software. A great way to meet people in the free doc sector and to attract new comers to your doc team :) adam This is a call for proposals for the 2011 Google Summer of Code Doc Camp. Individuals and projects are invited to submit proposals for the GSoC Doc Camp to be held at Google's Mountain View headquarters (California) 17 October - 21 October. The GSoC Doc Camp is a place for documentors to meet, work on documentation and share their documentation experiences. The camp aims to improve free documentation materials and skills in GSoC projects and individuals and help form the identity of the emergent free documentation sector. The Doc Camp will consist of 2 major components - an unconference and 3-5 short form Book Sprints to produce 'Quick Start' guides for specific GSoC projects. The unconference will explore topics proposed by the participants. Any topic on free documentation of free software can be proposed for discussion during the event. Each Quick Start Sprint will bring together 5-8 individuals to produce a book on a specific GSoC project. All participants of the Doc Camp must attend a sprint. The Quick Start books will be launched at the opening party for the GSoC Mentors summit immediately following the event. Individuals with a passion for free documentation about free software may apply to attend by filling out the application form <https://sites.google.com/site/docsprintsummit/registration> and submitting before 5 August, 2011. Those wishing to attend do not need to be from a GSoC project. Accommodation and food will be covered by the GSoC Doc Camp. Part or complete travel costs can also be applied for as part of the application process. Quick Start Sprint projects will be chosen from proposals submitted to the GSoC Doc Camp before 5 August, 2011 through the application form <https://sites.google.com/site/docsprintsummit/registration>. Applications for Quick Start Sprints are invited from projects that are part of the 2011 GSoC program. Quick Start Sprint proposals can nominate up to 5 individuals to attend and participate in the proposed sprint. A Quick Sprint proposal does not have to nominate individuals to participate - you can also use this as an opportunity to promote your project to Doc Camp participants. If the proposal is accepted the accommodation and food costs will be covered by the Doc Camp for any listed individuals and part or complete travel costs for each can be applied for (if applicable). The GSoC Doc Camp is co-organised by GSoC and FLOSS Manuals. Books Sprints and unconference facilitation conducted by Adam Hyde. If you have questions, please contact Carol Smith at carols(a)google.com and/or Adam Hyde at adam(a)flossmanuals.net. -- -- Adam Hyde Founder, FLOSS Manuals Project Manager, Booki Book Sprint Facilitator mobile :+ 49 177 4935122 identi.ca : @eset booki.flossmanuals.net : @adam http://www.flossmanuals.net http://www.booki.cc http://www.booksprints.net

> This is OT for this list. This list is reserved for discussions of> Drupal core development. Please move your query to support(a)drupal.org> and see http://drupal.org/support and http://drupal.org/community for> more options. If we're truly not going to answer coding questions here, then can we PLEASE get a separate mailing list for module developers? The Support list is ABSOLUTELY NOT for these kinds of questions. That list says explicitly that it is for people who have trouble installing and configuring Drupal. To quote its mailman page: "If you need help getting Drupal up and running this is the list for you." Most of the community on that list wouldn't be able to answer general PHP questions, much less answer questions about the inner workings of the API, Drush, or Simpletest. We'd be better off posting questions to the "Themes" list. If this list truly is for core development only, then I will unsubscribe. But there's no way I'm going to join a mailing list just so my inbox can fill up with thousands of questions per day about setting up an FTP client or whatever. Until us module coders get our own mailing list, I'd advise you to avoid sending coding questions to the Support list, and send them to the "Module Development and Code Questions" section of the forums:http://drupal.org/forum/4 Thanks. -Karl.

FW: Webform Ajax - D7
by Idan Arbel 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello, I'm trying to get a webform to send the data via ajax on drpual 7. I've added this code into my template.php file. It seems to work well except for the fact that the data isn't saved at the end. What am I missing? function enjoon_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { if($form_id == 'webform_client_form_32'){ $form['actions']['submit'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#ajax' => array( 'callback' => 'enjoon_ajax_callback', 'wrapper' => str_replace('_','-',$form['#form_id']), 'effect' => 'fade', ), '#value' => t('Submit'), ); } } function enjoon_ajax_callback($form, $form_state) { if(form_get_errors()){ return $form; } else{ return 'Thank you!'; } } Thanks Idan

tricky drupal_execute() / hook_form_alter() question
by David Cohen 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

I'm trying import some data from a user's Facebook profile into Drupal. The site in question has a lot of moving parts: Content Profile, CCK, Drupal for Facebook. I'd like to query facebook for info about the user, then create or update a node with the data. The node contains a lot of fields, and I'm only interested in updating 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4) of them. My preference is to use drupal_execute() to create/update the profile node. To do this, I have to fill out a $form_state['values'] array. I've tested this and noticed that if I leave out the values for any field in the node, that field will be reset to blank. In other words my code needs to fill out values for all fields. But to do so essentially prevents anyone from adding more fields via CCK. The code would need to be updated for every change to the content type, which is too onerous. There are posts on drupal.org describing this same problem, and suggesting using node_save() instead of drupal_execute() for this purpose. What do the experts on this list recommend, drupal_execute() or node_save()? I had the thought that during hook_form_alter(), I could scan the form for all #default_values, and use them to populate the $form_state['values']. A function able to do that would, it seems to me, make drupal_execute() much easier to use. That code would have to navigate the entire $form tree (at least all element children). And would have to be smart about where #tree is true in order to get all the #default_values into the right $form_state['values']. Has anyone attempted such a thing? Thanks in advance, -Dave

D6 Views 2 adding filter programmatically
by Jeff Hartman 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I have a block view set up, but I need to add a filter that uses a value from the node. Adding a dynamic value to the filter seems pretty straight forward: $view = views_get_view('related_cities'); $display = 'block_1'; $view->set_display($display); $filter_name = 'field_city_parent_id_value'; $filter = $view->get_item($display, 'filter', $filter_name); $filter['value'] = 'my_new_search_value'; $view->set_item($display, 'filter', 'field_city_parent_id_value', $filter); Problem is that I don't know where I should be running this code. Module or template? If I put it into a module, which function should it go in? I've tried it in hook_views_pre_render(), but I'm not sure how to get the results based on the new value. Thoughts?

Updating LDAP Users
by Andreas Laesser 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi @all I've a question regarding the ldap integration to drupal. Is there a chance to write a script (command line based) which updates all drupal users ldap data? The thing is simple, if I change a LDAP user data the changes are not updated in drupal until he/she logs in once more... So I wanted a script which I can run via SSH from command line and "fake" a login of all users... so that their data is updated "by hand"... Does anyone have a script like this, or a mechanism which does something like this? Thanks for Help. regards Andreas -- ========================================================================= _____________ / ___________/ Andreas Laesser / //_// /____/ Signal Proc.& Speech Communication Lab. __/ /___/ / __ Graz University of Technology /___//____//__ Inffeldgasse 12 | A-8010 Graz | Austria http://www.spsc.tugraz.at Tel: +43 (0)316 873 -4443 Fax: DW 104439 =========================================================================

How to populate a content type programmatically - D7
by Ernst Plüss 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hi Drupal friends In a cron job I'm loading data from an external source and want to create nodes of a content type created with fields in D7. For every node I do: $node = new stdClass(); // populate field values node_save($node); How can I populate the filed values programmatically ? Is there something in Field API that does this for me or do I have to rebuild the whole complicated fields structure for every field by hand? Or is there something that can prepare this structure in order I can fill in my values? Thanks for your help! Ernst
