[drupal-devel] Drupal Search (Was: "Module announcements" forum area)

Hi Angie > **What would be really, really, REALLY great is if we could either replace > Drupal.org's search entirely with something else (I've heard good things of > Trip/SQL Search, but have never tried it), or improve the hell out of it because > it is an absolute nightmare to find what you're looking for with it right now.** I think there are improvements in CVS (i.e. 4.7). I forgot how extensive they are, but perhaps someone (was it Adrian or Nedjo?) can fill us in. > The *only* way I can search > the site and get effective results is to go to Google and enter "site:drupal" > and then my keywords. I find myself using that a lot too. It is very handy for think like old issues I comment on and the like. For relevance, nothing beats Google to date, even our own beloved Drupal

[drupal-devel] quicktags: for developers
by Bèr Kessels 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello, I just tagged quicktags for 4.6 after polishing it a bit. However, the reason for this mail is that it has a hook for other modules. example: http://www.chiquechick.com/comment/reply/184#comment In the source you find an example plus some documentation: /* array(id, display, tagStart, tagEnd, access, open, location) * id; // used to name the toolbar button * display; // label on button * tagStart; // open tag * tagEnd; // close tag * access; // access key * open; // set to -1 if tag does not need to be closed * location; // optional: onclick action omit the (). */ function quicktags_quicktags() { $items = array( array('ed_italic','italic','<em>','</em>','i'), array('ed_bold','bold','<strong>','</strong>','b'), array('ed_block','b-quote','<blockquote>','</blockquote>','q'), array('ed_link','link','','','l', -1, 'edInsertLink'), array('ed_break','break','','','t',-1)); return $items; } so, if you want you module foobar to add 'Foo' and 'Bar' around the selected text, you need to do: function foobar_quicktags() { $items = array( array('ed_foo','FooBar','Foo','Bar','f')); return $items; } you can call other JS too: function foobar_quicktags() { $items = array( array('ed_foo','FooBar','','','f', -1, 'fooBar')); return $items; } which will transform into "javascript:fooBar(edCanvas[X], Y)" where edCanvas[X] is the calling textarea and I a unique button number. There is one sidenote: I call the icons by name. We need to find a solution to be able to iether ignore icons if they are not found, or to call them from the other modules directory. Hope to hear from your hooks soon :) Bèr

[drupal-devel] export on books links
by Bèr Kessels 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hi, As so many people, I am again a little bit annoyed about various links under a node. In this case my client wants me to remove the export as FOO links. We use books for our static part (as discussed earlier in this ML: books make perfect static sites) of the site. But, all the export as links are clutter in that case. I have made some regexps to get these links out. But that somution is subideal. I see two solutions: rewrite the _link system completely. I have not time for this. Or introduce a permission 'export books'. Please give your comments or ideas on what route to take and what has the most chance to get in. Other options are most welcome too, off course! Bèr

Damn. I neglected to add the new inc files to the previous email. I also neglected to thank Tobias for his help, although I definitely had him on my list to thank. No harm meant. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com

Here is what I have know for a theme using floating divs: http://www.linuxcolumbus.com . It is a modification of the phptemplate bluemarine theme. Goal is to just see what I can do and to make it as simple as possible. Comments welcome. Pat

[drupal-devel] Admin theme
by Bèr Kessels 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

Id like to pull this discussion out of the general usability improvement, because I feel this needs LOT of thought before it even close to ready. for me the admin theme has a few requirements: * it must be able to disable when someone feels he/she is not helped with it. * it must be overridable in a theme * it must be profilable (a forum site has a different concept of what pages are admin then a personal blog) Some ideas I came up with to tackle this admin theme issue are: * tackle this in the menu. Allow a flag/setting per menu entry 'IS_ADMIN' and 'ADMIN_SUGGESTED'. * tackle this in a blocks/sections alike interface, where sets of regexps define what pages are admin and what pages not. * tackle this in a separate admin-theme UI, where one can select a pre-defined profile (blog, forum site etc) then the profile will select for you what pages are admin and what not. I personally dislike the last item. it is not flexible enough, yet I still mention it, because it might be a starter for better ideas? Ber

[drupal-devel] css clear use
by David Norman 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

I'm trying to develop a theme with floating css elements and there are several uses of clear in misc/drupal.css that are messing up my layout. Is there a particular programmatic reason the use of clear is superordinate to themes? I seem to have been able to override it in the theme css file, but aside from it being temporarily annoying to fix, it doesn't seem like I should have to override Drupal built-in css.
