question about url aliases with spaces
by James Weeks 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

If a user tries to goto a page that includes a space such as "/?q=logic gates" the browser will convert the space to %20 giveing "/?q=logic%20gates" My question is can you create an alias to this? i have tried the following drupal aliases but none work. node/60 => "logic%20gates" (it accepts this entry but i still get a page not found when "/?q=logic%20gates" enterd in browser) node/60 => "logic gates" (drupal wont accept this as a valid alias entry ) node/60 => 'logic gates' (drupal wont accept this as a valid alias entry ) Also on a side note is there a way to see what version of drupal you using when you log in as administrator. Would be nice if it was displayed somewere e.g administrator->help page

Re: [feature] click on thumbnail to expand to the original image size without reload (lightbox.js)
by Ken Collins 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

I've seen it said before that image.module would best be kept simple and lean. I've used the lightbox.js in my theme and I think this is a better place for it, at the theme/user level. If you are interested you can download the theme and see the code that I used to make it work with lightbox.js. http://www.metaskills.net/meta-theme-for-drupal/image On Feb 25, 2006, at 8:52 AM, ica wrote: > Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/51299 > Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/51299 > > Project: Image > Version: 4.6.0 > Component: image.module > Category: feature requests > Priority: normal > Assigned to: Anonymous > Reported by: ica > Updated by: ica > Status: active > > Would be nice feature improvement if lightbox.js implemented as > optional > feature (click on thumbnail to expand to the original image size > without > reload) > > > ~example, scripts and and tutorial > http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ > > > the javascript is tiny > http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/lightbox.js > > > > > ica >

Managing node revisions with a backend like subversion?
by Derek Wright 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

I posted this topic as a development forum on drupal.org: http://drupal.org/node/50682 Someone suggested I send it to this list for additional input and feedback. Summary: Why do we reinvent the wheel of doing revision control when we could (possibly) just use another revision control system to manage the change history of node bodies? We're currently storing the entire body for each revision, which is wasteful, especially if the size of the node is large, or it's changing frequently. For example, if I was going to import the entire manual for the software project I develop on my day job into a drupal site, a) I'd definitely need to save revision history and b) that history would grow enormous if the full text of each page was saved on every change. One (complicated) option would be to store diffs in the node_revision table, just like most revision control systems do. A (maybe) better option would be to just store the name of a subversion tag (or equivalent). We could still cache the full text of the currently active revision in the drupal DB (for performance and minimizing changes to other parts of the drupal code base), but we could split off the work of maintaining the whole revision ourselves and use a much more powerful tool for the job. Then, it'd be trivial to add much better revision support within drupal, for example a "blame annotated" view of a node, powerful diff viewing across revisions, and perhaps even something crazy like branching and merging node text (possibly integrated with taxonomy?). For more info, check out the forum node I mentioned above. I'd be willing to help make this a reality, but I wanted to know: a) Is there some obvious reason this hasn't been done (other than lack of developer time)? b) What's the right way to go about this? I'm fairly new to drupal, especially the core code. There seem to be numerous layers of abstraction for everything, so part of me (wishfully?) thinks there's some obvious layer to make this change and very little else would need to be modified. Am I being crazy? ;) c) Does anyone else think this would be a good idea, worth doing, etc? Thanks! -Derek p.s. It seems like the forum topic would be a better place for this discussion, but I'm new to this list so I don't know if people prefer talking about this via email, instead....

Is contributions/modules/ mirrored for bazaar-ng?
by Rob Thorne 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

As a developer who spends a lot of time hacking on other people's modules, I'm starting to get why bazaar-ng's development model can be a good thing: it can take a long time for people to merge/handle patches, and the need to test my work makes it necessary that anyone I'm working with "know" what the latest versions are of the stuff I'm working on. I can do that if I check my changes into a branch using bazaar-ng, something that is very hard to do otherwise. For one thing, I need my stuff in source control way before the module maintainers I'm working with can/will check in interim versions. core is now in bazaar-ng (at http://drupal.revisioncontrol.net/core/head/) which seems to do what I need. Is contributions/modules up on drupal.revisioncontrol.net as well? Thanks, Rob Thorne Torenware Networks

Re: [consulting] A defense for new users

While > it won't be possible to include all perspectives in an eventual > solution, excluding viewpoints from the outset is not a good way to start. Oh I am sure thee are: * Lots of places where improvements are so trivial that I am rather concerned we only talked about stuff and not made that 15 line patch (admin/XXX/settings vs own admin pages). * Some places where we need a bit of thought and then get a Good Default merged in (inline files, user-permissions etc) * a few places where, with small effort we can gain a lot of improvement. But I am sure there are a lot of places too where: * A good default will make loads of developers (users) feel like they are "enforced" some thing they never liked. IMO we should respect the feelding of the devels, over those of the "users" (user == the one using drupal, yet not contributing anything else then weight-of-usage) * changes in the interface always end in a big BANG of debates; and are thus unchanged, eventhough we all know it sucks. Yet we all envision completely different solutions. It has been mentioned *cough* before. But empowering distros in this, is the route to take. And that is luckily not IMO but IGO. I think therefore, that a solution lies in: * fixing those areas that are very obvious. * not starting those endeless debates on "who drupal is for in the first place" (sorry, I am guilty here too). but instead recognise that Those Who Do It are the same as Those Who Need It (scrathcing and itching). Sorry, I know I am officially banned from saying it, but I have no time now to spend on: * ?q=admin/comment/configure * ?q=admin/themes/settings and more. But I am sure there are more of those places where ni debate and hardly any effort is needed to et real improvements going. Bèr -- [ End user Drupal services and hosting | Sympal.nl ]
