Confused: package value of info files
by Earnie Boyd 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

I have submitted a few info files for inclusion in the module and have at times pointed to node/101009 by the maintainers to say that package shouldn't be given. However, node/64279 doesn't state that but instead suggest "Your arbitrary grouping string" as the value. http://drupal.org/node/64279 http://drupal.org/node/101009 Can we have a consensus for what value should be given for 5.0 to package and can we update both nodes with the consensus? I think that the original idea was for package to be used by those module packages that contain more than one module to group their package together. However the design of the 5.0 menu treats package more as a category or package type. Should there be a defined list of what the value of package should be? There is a list in suggested values in the two nodes listed above but one important one is Taxonomy and it isn't listed. There are several modules that could be grouped under Taxonomy and I think that would be a good thing. If someone, as I have, decides to install every module in their test system to evaluate the validity of each module it quickly becomes a matter of importance for the ``Other'' package to be reduced. The Other category is currently long list. Earnie Boyd

i, too, was puzzled by this, and ended up concluding that the "$Name $" trick didn't work. further discussions on IRC and some playing around revealed that, at least in my case, it only worked after i had both committed that to the .info file, then pulled a completely fresh checkout of the module (checkout, not update!). i think the deal is that CVS name expansion doesn't work for updates? perhaps Derek will grace us with the actual mechanics... :) it might be a good idea to get something in the official doc about how the name expansion works exactly, because it's certainly not self- evident. :) chad On Dec 21, 2006, at 8:20 AM, Ken Rickard wrote: > OK, now I'm confused, since the standard changed slightly since I > wrote my .info file. > > I changed the version string to version = "$Name" and committed the > change. > > When I then run cvs update, the string in the info file returns as: > > version = "$Name: $" > > I assume that this is by design and I should not worry about it. > But it does not conform to the documentation. > > References: > http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=48687 > http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/mysite/ > mysite.info?r1=1.1.2.1&r2=1.1.2.2 > > > Ken Rickard > agentrickard

OK, now I'm confused, since the standard changed slightly since I wrote my .info file. I changed the version string to version = "$Name" and committed the change. When I then run cvs update, the string in the info file returns as: version = "$Name: $" I assume that this is by design and I should not worry about it. But it does not conform to the documentation.

The value of version in the .info files
by Earnie Boyd 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Based on http://drupal.org/node/101009 the value of version should be $Name$ to allow the packaging system to do the right thing. I am finding values other than $Name$ in info files. Earnie Boyd

Be careful with the description value in the info files
by Earnie Boyd 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

I have noticed that several packages include info file descriptions that contain characters other than alphanumeric values. When you do this you need to quote the string. If you need to use " in the string then you need to use the " value to display the " character. For example: description = "This is my "crazy(a)email.com" email address" Will display correctly while description = This is my "crazy(a)email.com" address will cause Drupal to display an error when going to the modules menu.

googtube filter for embedding videos
by Keizo Gates 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

I've been lurking/using drupal for several years. Finally made something other people may be interested in using. googtube is a simple filter that converts urls to google and youtube videos to their embed code. http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/googtube/ It's kind of a quick hack and my first attempt at a useful regular expression. I would appreciate any comments -- especially any security concerns you might see. Thanks. A bit more about it... It currently takes a url to a video on either of the two sites no mater where it's located in the filtered text -- there is no formatting involved. I like it this way, since there is nothing for the user to learn, but if you have thoughts on this let me know. Requiring the url to be on it's own line would be the next best alternative. Keizo

end-of-life for Themedev module
by Adrian Simmons 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

Hello, Just a short note to say that I'm officially ending development of themedev.module, and if anyone is intrested in it please get in touch. I also wanted to ask what the policy is on closing up development of a module. I'm of the opinion that deleting the themedev project would be the best course of action right now (since themedev really has been surpassed by the likes of the Firefox 'Firebug' extension), I can see no viable use case for it. The code would of course remain in CVS in case anyone really wanted to revive it or steal code. Any objections to me removing the themedev.project from drupal.org? -- Adrian Simmons (aka adrinux) <http://adrinux.perlucida.com> e-mail <mailto:adrinux@perlucida.com>
