4.7 drupal.module backport to 4.6
by David Reed 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

I'm about to try to back port the 4.7 durpal.module to 4.7. Other than the normal issues like the forms api is there any reason that anyone would think this may not work so well? Also, Is anyone aware of anyone else that's done this yet. Other than getting the couple new 4.7 feature back to 4.6 I'm also going to try to get the distributed authentication to work across the version. Thanks

{Short issue queues need care - 2} This week: special critical issues.
by Augustin (a.k.a. Beginner) 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

Hello and welcome to the second edition of {Short issue queues need care}. This week: 1} Summary of featured short issue queues. 2} Report on progress since last week. 3} Why this report and how to cooperate? ******************************************* 1} Summary of featured short issue queues. ******************************************* Pick one list. See at the very end if you wish to officially 'adopt' one queue. The number in parenthesis designs the number of issues 2 weeks old or more (i.e. issues most likely forgotten and not being dealt with). (Queue #1) Ready To Be Committed issues: This one is especially for Dries, Steven, Neil and Gerhard. http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&states=14 25/06/2006 : 7 (2) issues only. Dries and Steven: please note the DRUPAL-4-6 issues. (Queue #2) DRUPAL-4-6 critical issues: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=11555,11262,10237,9… 18/06/2006 : 24 (19) issues. 25/06/2006 : 8 (5) issues only. Those are really critical issues, already fixed in head and 4.7. 2-3 developers need to cooperate to deal with 1 issue at a time. (Queue #3) DRUPAL-4-7 critical issues: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=11551,11252,10634,1… 18/06/2006 : 31 (19) issues. 25/06/2006 : 12 (8) issues only! (Queue #4) CVS critical bugs: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=6487&categories=bug… 18/06/2006 : 6 (1) issues. 25/06/2006 : 13 (1) issues only! (slight increase since last week due to reassigning issues from stable branches to HEAD). (Queue #5) DRUPAL-4-6 Patch Needs Review bugs: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=11555,11262,10237,9… 18/06/2006 : 26 (25) issues. 25/06/2006 : 26 (25) issues. Most need to be bumped to cvs, if the bug still exists. If the bug hasn't been fixed yet, try to reroll the patch for head, or else set as "patch needs work". (Queue #6) DRUPAL-4-7 Patch Needs Review bugs: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=11551,11252,10634,1… 18/06/2006 : 17 (5) issues. 25/06/2006 : 16 (7) issues only. Make sure to note if the bug has been fixed in HEAD already: it would be silly to have a fix in 4.7, to see the bug reappear when 4.8 comes out. (Queue #7) DRUPAL-4-5 old bugs: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=10236,9738,9702,769… 25/06/2006 : 5 (4) issues only. Bump to head is the issue is still valid or close if they have been fixed. We need to do for this old branch what has just been done for the 4.7 Beta releases: review each one individually, and close or bump to head as appropriate until no issue is left in this branch. **************************************** 2} Report on progress since last week. **************************************** Remember: the number is parenthesis designs the number of old issues, i.e. issues over two weeks old. Those issues are probably forgotten and not being followed up by anyone. The lower the number of old issues on any one queue, the better! Among the 10 issue lists featured last week, one of them got definitely sorted out: pre-4.7 betas issues: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=10634%2C10412%2C103… There were 14 pages of issues when Drupal 4.7.0 came out; 8 issues left last week and today none remain: they have either been closed or reassigned to a later version. Another dramatic change since last week is the list of critical issues: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&priorities=1&states=1,8,13,1… There were 80 (56) issues last week, and only 45 (25) remain today. The drop is mostly due to closing issues that had already been fixed or setting a 'normal' some issues that were not really critical. The real critical issues still remain, and are the focus of the short issue queues featured this week (see above). One area that has not seen much change is the list of issues with a patch needing review: 247 (202) issues last week, and 246 (207) this week. The grand total of open issues is slightly lower this week: 1986 (1747) issues this week against 1992 (1758) issues last week. ****************************************** 3} Why this report and how to cooperate? ****************************************** There are close to 2000 issues in the queue. The figure sounds daunting: how can a very few volunteer developers deal with such a huge amount of bugs? The point is that we don't need to worry of the whole issue queue, but by getting somewhat more organized, the most important of those issues can be definitively dealt with. To start with, there shouldn't be anything critical within the Drupal project issues. Critical bugs must be dealt as a matter of priority. But one can get easily discouraged when facing 4 four pages of critical issues. The first step is therefore to sort out what is really critical from what is not. Having a shortlist of what is really critical, two or three developers can focus on a single issue, helping each other, so that one week later there is one really critical issue left. Similarly, 10-12 developers could get rid of 3-4 critical issues and in a few weeks, the list of critical issues would be down to almost nothing (only 1-2 issues caused by a large patch recently introduced in head, for example). If you wish to participate in tackling one of the 7 short issue queues featured here, please reply to the list, quoting only the issue you wish to 'adopt', changing also the subject title of your email to reflect the queue you have chosen. Hopefully, two or three more developers will reply to you, saying they want to help you with the issues in that same queue. Thank you to all the volunteers for your cooperation. Blessings, Augustin. -- http://www.wechange.org/ Because we and the world need to change. http://www.reuniting.info/ Intimate Relationships, peace and harmony in the couple.

About time to post my SoC project
by Scott Reynolds 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Ok, I am designing the Content Recommendation Engine based on Jeff Eaton's Votingapi. It utilizes the Slope One alogrithm authored by Daniel Lemire at the Univeristy of Quebec. He is also a member of the Drupal community. The engine itself is a sortof api. It provides two basic functions cre_top() and cre_similar(). cre_top() return the top n objects of a spefic type. So for instance, in my node_recommendation module that utilizes these functions, cre_top() returns the top N nodes. cre_similar() returns items that are similar to the specified object. So in node_recommendation this is used to show similar nodes to the one a user is currently visiting (note: this is non-personalized, where as cre_top() is). Current code is in my sandbox, but it shall be moving to contrib/modules/cre and contrib/modules/node_recommendation soon. Currently, I am working on adding views intergration. And I am creating a way for the module to be installed via cron for large votingapi datasets (and if i should do that). It takes awhile to install with large vote sets. Once installed, speed is not a problem. For much more information, http://groups.drupal.org/soc-content-recommedation-engine Comments sugguestions not fit for this list send me an email: sdrreynolds(a)gmail.com ~Scott Reynolds

half sharing table in multisite
by sime 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hi I'm doing a multi-site install with 5 or 6 sites. These sites will be sharing every table except some obvious candidates like "system", "variable" and "cache". I'm really looking for long-term maintainability, minimal patches, and so on. But I've yet to decide the best way manage data in the system and variable tables that is always going to be the same. For example, the system table will be duplicated because I want to have different themes installed and activated, however all of the installed modules are going to be exactly the same, and I will unfortunately be duplicating this other data. The same might goes for some variables. I guess the manual way to manage this is, everytime I add/change a module setting, go into each installation and repeat the process so that all sites have the same configuration. Alternatively maybe I can set up a cron job to ensure that data cascades from a "master" installation to the other ones. Any pointers/advice/warnings are appreciated. Especially book pages that I might have overlooked in my quest. Thanks & Regards Simon

Re: [development] Switching themes in modules

I agree with you. Background for me writing my manage.module was that really sections.module didn't do anything for me and I had to deliver a separate management theme to a client. After reading your above post, I debugged my problem and found that setting $custom_theme in hook_menu() is too late in my setting. Probably (I haven't analyzed this further), some other module initializes the theme system before. To me this seems like a general problem. I have therefore created a patch to sections.module at http://drupal.org/node/47788 which sets $custom_theme in a new hook_init(). Now your sections.module works for me nicely and I will use it.

I want to get $user->uid (if authenticated user popped it up) from the window, popped up by drupal site (not drupal window) *without* transferring uid as parameter. Is it possible, and if it is, so how? Thank you -- Tamir

How to handle uploads in a secure fashion?
by Fabio Varesano 21 Jun '06

Hi everybody, I just received an email from Ber asking to check my modules for security issues related to file uploads. Maybe others of you received too that emails. He tell me to check my module for upload related issue and see at the 4.7.1->4.7.2 patch as guide. Well... it seems that the main addition is the upload_munge_filename ... but this is an upload module only functions. Should the munge_filename function became a file api? Moreover a handbook page explaining how to handle uploads in security is needed. Fabio Varesano
