Re: [development] CCK in Drupal 6

I don't have any ideas yet, but I started a stub for a discussion about that topic on the CCK issue queue at http://drupal.org/node/115822. I also added a category called 'CCK in core' to the CCK issue queue component list so we can mark tasks, patches, etc. that relate to that process.

Hopefully CCK-wranglers like Eaton, Jaza, KarenS and friends might be able to lay out a bit of a plan ... -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

file download stats for January
by Greg Knaddison - GVS 04 Feb '07

Dear Development List, In case you missed it from the planet download statistics for January from projects hosted on Drupal are now available: http://knaddison.com/drupal/january-drupal-download-statistics Since most people here are module developers, here are the top modules with the download numbers: Module | Cumulative Downloads for all tarballs views 8403 tinymce 7660 cck 7185 image 6946 imce 3866 gallery 3464 event 3203 fckeditor 3200 pathauto 3085 calendar 2920 contemplate 2877 widgeditor 2780 front 2718 category 2710 og 2624 gsitemap 2206 imagefield 2186 date 2089 audio 2023 adsense 1965 taxonomy_access 1952 video 1952 votingapi 1951 link 1946 panels 1926 upload_preview 1767 poormanscron 1694 devel 1685 captcha 1683 views_bonus 1667 While this is not a great indicator of the ongoing use of a module it provides a reasonable proxy for that information. If you (like me) are the author of a module not on this short list the full spreadsheet (ODS format) of the download data for all modules, themes, translations, and screencasts (wildly popular). http://knaddison.com/randomfiles/drupal_downloads_january.ods Congrats to Earl on the most popular module for January. Greg PS No, I do not plan to update the "modules that get no love" list. If someone wants me to figure it out I can but most people didn't like it last time...

Looking for new module maintainers
by Earl Miles 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Posting to the dev list doesn't seem to get a lot of response to this kind of query, but I'm posting it here anyway. I need to reduce my workload a bit. Some of these requests have been standing for awhile, but I probably have not done a good job of making sure the requests are out there where everyone can see them. I’m looking for the following: * A new maintainer for delicious module. — the delicious API has changed. This is a module I took over maintenance on back in my early days of Drupal, and I’m just not particularly interested in it, which means it languishes. It’s still a very valuable and useful module. Right now all it NEEDS is someone who’ll maintain it, keep up with the API, and make the 4.7.x version stable and port it to 5.x. It could use someone who’d like to redo the entire thing and make it use nodes and taxonomy as well. * A new maintainer for the views bookmarks module — this module isn’t terribly difficult, but it is a touch more advanced than some might be. It’s a useful module that has a lot more users than I realized — but I haven’t the time to properly maintain it. It doesn’t need MUCH maintenance, either. I don’t think there’s too far that this piece of code needs to go, it just needs the occasional bug fix. * A co-maintainer for the forum access module — this module is extremely useful and there’s quite a bit of room for this to grow into a healthy add-on to the forum module. Theoretically it could also branch into an advanced forum set of its own. There’s lots of things that could happen here. I’d like to retain involvement in the module, but I don’t need to; if someone comes along with lots of great code and ideas, I’m happy to step aside and let the module go. * A co-maintainer for panels module — While working on Panels 2, I’ve basically let Panels 1 rot. It needs a lot of bug fixes, at the very least. Also, I need someone to specifically maintain the layouts. I’m NOT a CSS expert by any means, and the CSS seems like it needs some adjustments. And I would like more layouts. And there is a bunch of work to be done on Panels 2, as well. Panels is looking like a very important module to Drupal right now — this is a place someone could come in and really make a contribution.

Creating "dependent fields" in CCK
by Rob Thorne 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Nedjo raised a question today concerning CiviNode's CCK widgets. civicrmdata.module implements a widget type that is a lot like nodereference and userreference, except it points to a contact record in CiviCRM, a PHP contact relation management package. Right now, it's possible to select an existing contact (via its "contact_id" field), and choose what CiviCRM calls a "profile". This is different than Drupal's profile; it represents a sort of window into a contact by selecting which fields of the contact record you want displayed. Currently, civicrmdata uses the CiviCRM profile to theme and render how the the "contact" displays when a CCK node renders its "view". Nedjo wants tighter integration; he wants to display and be able to edit a single field of a contact record. This makes a lot of sense, but it isn't clear how best to implement this with CCK's hooks. Here are some of the issues; * Typically, you want a group of CCK fields that are all related to the same CiviCRM contact object, say as example to indicate "who to contact" as part of a CCK node. If you change the person you want to contact, you need all of the dependent fields to point to that new CiviCRM contact. It would be very helpful if the contact_id could be changed in one and only one place, and have the CCK fields that point to the fields of the contact change in lock-step. Is this how calculated fields (in the contributed module) work, and is this the right model? * CiviCRM contact records have a fairly large memory footprint, and calling the CiviCRM APIs for fetching contacts takes processor time, so ideally, you want to fetch a contact object at most once per node (less if you cache between nodes). Is it possible to cache this information at the node level to allow the first field to render do the fetch, and all other fields pull from the cache. * When a contact field is edited, order matters; you don't want to write to the CiviCRM data store until all of a contact's 'dependent fields' have reported their changes. So it sounds like an update needs to happen in two phases. Can this be done with CCK (and Drupal's) current hooks,and if so, which ones do I need to look at. I wrote a good piece of civicrmdata's code, so I'm at least a bit familiar with CCK's hooks. But the above issues stump me. Can anyone shed light on this problem? Thanks, Rob Rob Thorne Torenware Networks http://www.torenware.com
