[drupal-devel] Drupal on SQLite
by Karoly Negyesi 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

There is good code at http://mbostrom.us/cowiki/31.html . Unlike my code it's not so ugly, as it fixes the result sets. It's a small performance hit but as SQLite locks the entire DB it's not useable for heavy sites, anyways. But if someone is up for it, go for it. COUNT DISTINCT is, I think, not taken care of, but that can be done by the regex in my version because that's a simple regex. I have clarified with the author that it is GPL. I know there is demand as I get about 1-2 letters on this every week. Regards NK

[drupal-devel] theme_select should use #attributes instead of #extra
by Vernon Mauery 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Currently, theme_select does not use the #attributes property, but uses the #extra property instead. To make all the form elements consistant and to follow what the documentation says, it should use #attributes and drupal_attributes to format them. Check out the patch at http://drupal.org/node/35114 and review it. --Vernon

[drupal-devel] Content creation usability
by Chris Cook 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

The new Forms API and collapsible fields are a huge improvement, especially on the content creation page. This page needs to be as easy and straightforward to use as possible and we are getting ever closer to that goal. However, the fieldsets which are now collapsed by default (e.g., publishing options) are optional, given reasonable workflow settings, and should not appear at the top above the title and body fields. In my opinion, content settings should appear near the submit button as those are generally not modified every time and are likely to only be changed just prior to submitting the form (for myself anyway). I have submitted a patch to move these fieldsets below the "content" fields and I would like to see it land in 4.7. Please review and/or comment on this change. http://drupal.org/node/34920 Cheers, Chris

[drupal-devel] Re: drupal-devel Digest, Vol 34, Issue 65
by David K Norman 24 Oct '05

What? With all the talk about making sure Drupal works in a shared hosting environment (ex. sessions stored in the DB instead of /tmp), you can't be serious. drupal-devel-request(a)drupal.org wrote: >Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2005 00:27:40 +0200 From: Gerhard Killesreiter <killesreiter(a)physik.uni-freiburg.de> Subject: [drupal-devel] Fun with mysql grants To: drupal-devel(a)drupal.org Hi there! I just want to point out that as of last week we need a new database grant to run Drupal with mysql (and maybe pgsql too, no idea). Steven's search patch uses temporary tables for which you need the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES permission. I am not sure, but I think this permission is not a default permission so we should make it clear that this permission is required in big, bold, blinking letters. And keep the flamethrower ready.

[drupal-devel] Problem with new form API in _upload_form
by Tim Altman 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Greetings: I ran into a problem with the new form API while I was investigating a bug with file uploads. The bug is that the list attribute and description for uploaded files aren't saved. I've solved the bug with the list attribute, but I can't figure out the correct solution for the bug with file descriptions. The form in _upload_form outputs the descriptions as $node['attachments']['current']['description'] whereas the delete and list checkboxes are output as $node['remove'] and $node['list'], respectively. Descriptions are nested so deeply because the #tree attribute is set to TRUE for $form['current']['description'] in _upload_form which is returned into $form['attachments'] by upload_form. So, should upload_save expect $node['attachments']['current']['description'] or is there a way to fix this so it works as it did before? I see no reason for descriptions to be nested so deeply in the form. -- Tim Altman

[drupal-devel] Problem with drupal_get_messages()
by Gordon Heydon 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hi, I am having a problem on a site where the messages from drupal_get_messages() is not being deleted once they have displayed. I have checked and drupal_get_messages() is deleting $_SESSION, but session is not being updated to reflect the change. I am not sure why this is happening, or how I should proceed to resolve this problem. If anyone can shed some light which can help me to resolve this issue it will be most appreciated. Thanks. Gordon.
