Building $node->body with arrays like FAPI for viewing
by Rob Barreca 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

I'm talking about the displaying of nodes using PHPTemplate. Right now hook_nodeapi($op = 'view' or 'links' etc.) has a lot of modules adding to the body like this $node->body .= $output; Maybe there is a module_setting to put it on TOP of the body or on the BOTTOM. But most modules just append. When displaying the node, all of that comes into $content in node.tpl.php. So if you want to configure that, you have to redo the whole body yourself. Then, if you install another module that adds to the node body through hook_nodeapi you have to go manually add that to your node.tpl.php for each one. If we constructed it like FAPI, with weights, etc. We could allow modifications of that right before calling render_body($node) or whatever. So hook_nodeapi('view') could do something like $body['mymodule']['extra_stuff_added_to_node'] = array( '#type' => 'markup', // Any other possible values or is it always markup? What about adding quick forms to send to friend etc.? '#value' => '<div>Cool stuff added to end of node, but can be removed or rearranged with hook_body_alter();</div>', '#weight' => 10, // or could even have variable_get('mymodule_extra_stuff_added_to_node_weight, 10); ); We could even add comments this way and have much more flexibility to configure when, where, and how items are added to the node body. Also, configuring these options (value, weight) in _settings would be that much easier. Then, with hook_body_alter we can mess with the weights, values, remove just this ONE item without manually reconstructing $content in our node.tpl.php. Also, this could be applied to links I believe. This is something I deal with all the time and I'm very interested in this behavior. I'd like any input you guys have.

Re: [development] Object caching
by Ken Rickard 17 Jul '06

Karoly- What's the location of the cache.inc patch, or is it already in HEAD. As of Sunday, I see reference to page_cache_fastpath() in bootstrap.inc but can't actually find the function itself. - Ken Rickard drupal: agentrickard gmail: agentrickard > a) Drupal configuration is loaded from settings.php. If herein we find > $conf['page_cache_fastpath'] = TRUE then the following happens: > b) cache.inc is loaded > c) page_cache_fastpath is called > d) Drupal exits. > That avoids pretty much all of Drupal. This was added to the cache.inc > patch to let you serve the files as fast as possible. I added this with an > eye on the file caching patch.

4.7 hook_node preview
by Vernon Mauery 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Is there some trick that I don't know about when using the hook_node function in 4.7? I think I like the changes in HEAD that remove this hook in preference of true form API functions. My problem is that I can't seem to see the changes to $node when preview is pressed. Is there some way around this that I don't know about? Or is there some way to access the form data so things don't get forgotten on a preview? --Vernon

access to $node in hook_fillter()
by Bèr Kessels 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hello, Does anyone know a trick (or something I shouldve read, but did not read) about how to get acces to $node objects in hook_filter? My filters do not alter anything in that object, but the filters /do/ need some parameters in that object. As far as I can see, _filter only receives a 'stupid' text-chunk, but I cannot beleive that we designed it that stupid and never pass more information to he filters. Its just that I cannot find the wheres, hows and whens. Bèr -- [ End user Drupal services and hosting | Sympal.nl ] Written while listening to Smokes Quantity by Boards of Canada on Twoism

$book_node->parent blues
by Bèr Kessels 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello Apparently 'parent' is a reserved word, yet we use a 'parent' in our books. A node in a book has a $book_node->parent that contains the NID of its parent. I came across this when checking if a node is in the book, I wanted to see if $book_node->parent isset. After an hour of frustration, dprinting and so, I found that that is actually set, but that one cannot refer to it. As I can hardly beleive that I am the first to bump into this: Am I missing an obvious point? Is there an issue for this if it really is like this?
