forms_no_js is up for grabs
by Karoly Negyesi 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

After numerous requests from various people I have written and committed a forms_no_js module. It's up for grabs, if it's really needed I will create a project for it, but I'd be happier if someone would. Or the next guy who complains about forced JS in Drupal 4.7 will automatically get the maintainership :P Regards NK

Getting Around The Limitations of hook_db_rewrite_sql
by Rob Thorne 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I'm writing a module for 4.7 that needs to control access to nodes that are only viewable by users who are approved via an external module. To determine if a node is viewable, I need to check the user *and* the node id. This would work, except for a design decision that was made "for performance". Here's what it says in the docs, in the article about "Node access rights" (http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/group/node_access) In node listings, the process above is followed except that hook_access <http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_access>() is not called on each node for performance reasons and for proper functioning of the pager system. When adding a node listing to your module, be sure to use db_rewrite_sql <http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/db_rewrite_sql>() to add the appropriate clauses to your query for access checks. In other words, even if you set up your hook_access to prohibit viewing of your content, Drupal 4.7 *will display your private content to an anonymous user*. Once your private node gets added to the list, there are no further checks to your hook access to determine if your node is safe to display. I don't see any way that hook_db_rewrite_sql can be used for this purpose, since there is no simple relationship between the current user and whether a node should be viewable, short of doing one of the following things: * I could use a IN () clause to list every node id of the given type that the given user is allowed to see. This may work in my current situation, but there can easily be *thousands* of these in some applications. So this is not a general solution. * I could manipulate the node_access table *on the fly* each time a user with some access to the content type. * I could somehow hack the node to hide itself by not displaying any sensitive content in hook_view, and theming it to be hidden via CSS. <rant> IMNHO, this is complete insane. </rant> What's the best way to get around this, um, performance enhancement? Thanks, Rob It may help improve

Preview - Node Visibility by Multisite and CSS Hover Pop-out Menus
by Sohodojo Jim 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Neither of these developments is ready for prime-time release yet, but I wanted to give a preview in the event that folks are interested. The two things I have developed are: * a node_visibility_bysite module * CSS hover-based pop-out menus The node_visibility_bysite module uses a taxonomy vocabulary together with a "selective shared table database" multisite configuration to implement a "site/sub-site" shared content platform. The CSS Hover pop-out menus are implemented with Peterned's csshover.htc script (included in the CivicSpace theme). To see these features in action (these are new sites, so there is not that much content there yet), go here: http://jeffcociviccenter.org/ http://theencoreplayers.com/ We're using this to support a "contribute once, publish at "either or both" sites for our local community Civic Center that is under construction and its musical theater touring company (that is out promoting this community-based coming attraction/resource). More general applications of this capability would be a headquarters with a branch offices/stores network, or a community organization with affiliate chapters. Using a shared taxonomy vocabulary, you can implement a flexible rule-set for where node content should be visible. Questions and suggestions welcome on- or off-list. I am especially interested in Mac and Linux reports of the CSS Hover pop-out menu behavior as I only have Windows with Firefox, Opera, and MSIE browsers for testing. --Sohodojo Jim-- http://sohodojo.com

cookie/session changes
by Dave Cohen 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

I often have multiple drupal installations on a machine. For instance www.sample.com/drupal1 and www.sample.com/drupal2. It used to be that I could log into both sites with a single browser. It would maintain a session on each. But recently that changed. Now when I log into drupal2, I get access denied when I return to drupal1. Anyone know what changed and how I can fix it? Thanks, -Dave

can anyone reproduce the bug previewing issue followups?
by Derek Wright 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

many of you are probably aware that the version of project.module running on drupal.org seems to be fubar regarding previewing issue followups. if you post a new issue, you can preview just fine. however, if you try to followup to an existing issue, the preview button doesn't do anything, it just returns you to the same form but without displaying any preview text. for more info, see: http://drupal.org/node/29105 killes recently moved this from drupal.org maintainance -> project's issue queue, assuming this is a bug in project itself. however, i can't reproduce this problem *at all* on a couple of test sites running the latest cvs. :( i don't want to just get in a pushing match with killes, moving the issue back and forth. ;) but unless someone can reproduce the problem somewhere other than drupal.org, i think this should be moved back to drupal.org maintainance, and someone should try to figure out what's different about the environment @ drupal.org that could be causing this. so, pretty please, can a few of you try this out on a cvs test site: - enable project.module - create a taxonomy term for projects (btw, it's too bad project *requires* a taxonomy now) - create a project, and enable the issue tracker for it - post an issue - follow-up to the issue, and try to preview then, reply to http://drupal.org/node/29105 and report your findings. for now, i'm moving this issue back to drupal.org maintainance, but if someone finds they can reproduce this, please feel free to move it again (so long as you post details about your environment so others can try to reproduce it, too). thanks! -derek (dww)

Hi there! Contrib CVS write access is currently busted for reasons beyond my immediated control. You can write to it, but your changes won't show up on drupal.org changelogs and possibly cvs.drupal.org. I have contacted osuosl to get this resolved. Cheers, Gerhard
