Looking for a place to start
by Carl Parrish 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Okay I've been over the coding Standards etc.... and Have create a few patches to some modules so now I think I can help. Is there a list of common modules that still need to be ported to 4.7? (I'm installing 4.7 from cvs right now). I'd like to get my feet wet and I figure porting a mod will teach me a lot about the framework etc...

OT: E-Commerce Mailing list Announcement
by Gordon Heydon 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hi, Since E-Commerce is such a big module(s) and has a lot of functionality that really needs a more fluid way of collaborating on ideas and speeding up development. I started discussing this with Dries, but because of time constraints such as Dries getting married, and taking time off to spend time with his new bride this was put into the low priority pile, and we didn't get this completed. So in an interim step, I have created an E-Commerce mailing list from my domain which will allow E-Commerce to move forward hopefully in leaps and bounds. Once Dries gets back from his well deserved break, I will take up the discussion on moving the list to drupal.org where it will gain even more benefit from being under the drupal.org umbrella. in the mean time you can go to http://lists.heydon.com.au/listinfo.cgi/ecommerce-heydon.com.au which will allow you to subscribe to this list, and we can get down the the work of getting the best possible E-Commerce out. Thanks. Gordon.

Module Dependency checker for 4.7
by Chad Phillips -- Apartment Lines 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

yesterday i came across a way for modules to do simple dependency checking using a neat form api trick, so today i coded it up and posted here: http://drupal.org/node/54463 it's all in the notes. basically, if you have a module that is dependent on any other module, you can drop in the code on that page, set your dependenices, and be good to go. lemme know if i missed anything. i tested a fair amount today, and as far as i can tell it works perfectly. chad

slightly OT - don't be a stupid Drupal newb
by Will Wyatt 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

I've been trying to use a PHP block that contains some CURL code to grab a pic and show it in the sidebar. I'm hosted at Dreamhost and I have mod_security (Dreamhost calls it 'Extra Web Security') activated on my domain. So, when I tried to create a PHP block that contained codewords that mod_security found offensive I was prevented from saving the block. No problem, said the newbie. I updated the body field in {block} to the CURL code I wanted in the block. Here is the big uhh-ohh I discovered while doing this. I was trying to use this php code in a block that was on every page. When I updated the block in the database I used the wrong URL, which is in my drupal path. I said http://www.example.com/gallery/blah when I meant to say http://www.example.com/gallery2/blah. So when I loaded the homepage for the first time, the block tried to load, but the block was trying to load the wrong URL (the URL I manually updated in the database. Drupal was intercepting the wrong URL and trying to load the 'Page not found' which of course included the offending block, which tried to load the wrong URL, which tried to load the 'Page not found' page which contained the block with the bad URL ... ad infinitum. So, in essence, I had denial of serviced myself. I couldn't get to my website at ALL for about 20 minutes. Once I could get back into my database (my ssh was DOSed as well) I reset the block. Being curious I did it all again while running top through another ssh connection. When I did it all again I saw 80 or so php5 processes in my user space before the top'ed connection DOSed itself. I'm assuming Dreamhost finally killed something. There is probably a moral to this story. Something like 'try php chunks of code in a page before adding them to a block that can get loaded on every page.' Especially is you're on shared hosting :) Here's hoping you don't do what I did :) -- Proud member of the KEXP cubicle army. http://www.cubiclearmy.com

Setting up test environment
by Carl Parrish 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Okay I want to set up a place to test all my servers on 4.7. so I grabbed the latest from HEAD, copied my databases (ie if the db was example, I now also have one called example4_7). Then I created a Virtual Host called test.example.com , that is set to read the code from HEAD. Now here's where I'm not so sure. Should I now go with an upgrade? (http://test.example.org/update.php) or should I act as if its a new install (I guess technically it is) Since I want to use all the data from my old install I'm leaning torward, I should be doing an update but I'm concerned that I have modules set up that aren't ready for 4.7 yet. so advise....?

I'd like to put forward the Publish and Subscribe modules as a suggestion. The owner of those projects isn't yet ready to port them to 4.7 - and sadly they are a little bit beyond my current coding ability.

Development of WebDAV module
by Ian Macdonald 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Drupal developers, I write from a small ISP in London that does web design projects using a variety of CMSs for our clients. A client of ours requires an intranet site with a calendar, forums and file management. We have implemented the site with Drupal and the client is happy with the calendar and the forums. In terms of the filestore, the client wishes to be able to access files and folders of documents from within Drupal, but also through WebDAV (MS Windows Web Folders). There was a Summer of Code project by Fabiano Sant'Ana to write a webdav module for Drupal. The description of the project is at http://drupal.org/node/26292 and the final code of the modules is available at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/wundo/SoC/ . The current modules allow Drupal to act as a WebDAV server, however authentication is currently not supported by the modules and so write access via WebDAV is not yet possible. We would be interested in financing further development of the WebDAV module in order to meet our client's needs. We would like a system that allows files to be uploaded from within Drupal (as attachments or uploads) or uploaded via WebDAV. The files would also be available via these two different interfaces. Thus, the task at hand would be to make a WebDAV module that integrates with the uploads.module (or somehow integrates with uploads from within Drupal itself). We spoke to Fabiano at one point and he estimated that it would take about 9 days of coding to have something functional with these characteristics. Unfortunately, we have not gotten any response from him regarding the project at the moment. Is there anyone here that might be interested in being paid to do this development for us? Or any suggestions regarding whom we should talk to regarding this project?
