[drupal-devel] Move pagers out of table
by Dries Buytaert 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hello world, I just committed a Neil Drumm production: "move pagers out of table". See http://drupal.org/node/28786. Moving the pagers out of the tables isn't strictly necessary but it makes for better XHTML and less code (for core: 31 insertions and 66 deletions). If you maintain a module in the contributions repository, you might want to update it for sake of consistency. A typical change looks like this: - if ($pager = theme('pager', NULL, 50, 0)) { - $rows[] = array(array('data' => $pager, 'colspan' => '7')); - } $output .= theme('table', $header, $rows); + $output .= theme('pager', NULL, 50, 0); The following modules could be updated for consistency with core: actions/actions.module akvaforum/akvaforum.module album/album.module asterisk/asterisk.module automail/am.module badbehavior/badbehavior.module banner/banner.module bookmarks/bookmarks.module bookreview/bookreview.module browscap/browscap.module checkout/checkout.module contact_dir/contact_dir.module dba/dba.module distantparent/distantparent.module eatlocal/foodmiles/foodmiles.module eatlocal/resource/resource.module ecommerce/contrib/submanage/submanage.module ecommerce/product/product.module ecommerce/store/store.module epublish/epublish.module evaluation/evaluation.module go/go.module groups/groups.module jobsearch/patches/node.module-4.6.2 jobsearch/patches/node.module-4.6.3 jobsearch/patches/tracker.module-4.6.2 links/links.module logsearch/logsearch.module mail_archive/mail_archive.module moviereview/moviereview.module netnews/netnews.module nmoderation/nmoderation.module og/og.module paypal_framework/paypal_framework.module paypal_subscription/paypal_subscription.module privatemsg/privatemsg.module project/issue.inc queue/queue.module scheduler/scheduler.module scouting/person.inc simplenews/simplenews.module spam/optional/comment.module.patch spam/spam.module survey/survey.module task/task.module taxonomy_assoc/taxonomy_assoc.module term_statistics/term_statistics.module trackback/trackback.module translation/translation.module troll/troll.module userpoints/userpoints.module volunteer/volunteer.module wireframe/wireframe.module workspace/workspace.module Thanks, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Re: [drupal-devel] A collection of usability problems

Ok, as promised: I have installed front_page module on one of my sites, generated some silly HTML to use as front page text, and set the settings for the module. These are my findings: (Please note - this is not a review of front_page.module, but rather a comparison of it with static nodes). 1. Frontpage module offers you several options for displaying: - For anonymous users: * themed - uses your current site's theme to dsplay your text/code * full - bypasses your sites theme, uses only your specified text/code * redirect - redirects you to another page/node/image/etc. - For logged in users: * same as for anonymous users * option to have it the same as for anonymous users 2. Static pages can offer you a lot of the above, but, it has a LOT more administration to do. For example, to implement these features with static pages, you'd have to: 1. Check whether the person is logged in. 2. Set all the blocks not to display on that particular page. 3. Must know some PHP to do #1 and to do redirects - can't use logic in HTML. 4. No way to disable the logo section of the theme for the page (e.g. I might just want an enlarged version of my logo with a few bullets of text on the main page - no other themable objects), without using another module (I think Gerhard had such a module where you can have a different logo for the front page). Basically, all in all, front_page module makes things MUCH simpler, and offers more choice than static pages. Static pages for front pages is too involved for newbies (and lazy admins...) and front_page module provides a great (and completely functional) alternative.

[drupal-devel] Fwd: OpenUsability Project Approved
by Bèr Kessels 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hello, I hope we can form a usability team soon, nothing official, just a bunch of people evaluating and coding drupal, to improve usability, as opposed to adding features, optimisation, cutting edge technology etc. My first action was to register at openusability.org, to see if we can attract some more interested people and to to find out how well that sites tools may aid us. Ber ---------- Doorgestuurd bericht ---------- Subject: OpenUsability Project Approved Date: maandag 19 september 2005 18:15 From: noreply(a)openusability.org To: ber(a)webschuur.com Your project registration for OpenUsability has been approved. Project Full Name: Drupal Please keep in mind that this site is still under construction. If you find a bug, miss some functionality or would like to discuss usability issues, please use the forums at http://www.openusability.org/forum/?group_id=6 . If you visit your own project page in OpenUsability while logged in, you will find additional menu functions on a tab labeled 'Admin'. We highly suggest that you now visit OpenUsability and create a public description for your project. This can be done by visiting your project page while logged in, and selecting the 'Admin' tab (or by visiting http://www.openusability.org/project/admin/?group_id=139 after login). Your project will also not appear in the Project Tree (Trove Software Map, primary list of projects hosted on OpenUsability which offers great flexibility in browsing and search) until you categorize it in the project administration screens after login: http://www.openusability.org/project/admin/group_trove.php?group_id=139 By default, a newly registered project is looking for a usability expert to support it. If you want to refine your project's open jobs, you can add and edit them in the 'Admin' tab after login: http://www.openusability.org/people/createjob.php?group_id=139 http://www.openusability.org/people/?group_id=139 So that people can find your project, you should create a public description now and categorize your project in the Trove Map. Enjoy the system, and please tell others about OpenUsability. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. -- the OpenUsability crew ------------------------------------------------------- Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ] Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ]

[drupal-devel] parse_rdf.inc proposal
by Bèr Kessels 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi there, While updating naggregator.module, I decided to put all RDF parsing stuff in one parse_rdf.inc. Naggregator needs it, aggrgator.module, aggregator2.module and most probably more modules could use a general rss parser. I would like to know if anyone wants to help me develop this. And I also would like to hear any suggestions. Questions I have been asking myself are: Should this maybe be a general XML parser.inc, rahter then only a rdf/rss parser? Should I include some general remote-file functions (I already have a general drupal_remote_file()) For now, what i have is loosely formatted after the mysql/database functions in PHP: rdf_get_object($res) rdf_get_array($res) where $res is a result (feed) returned by drupal_remote_file(); Both 'get' functions return one item a time, as object. similar to the 'row a time' the database functions to. On top of that, Id like to see a rdf_get_feed($res) which returns an object with an array ($object->items) containing all the items as objects. Please let me know if you are interested in lending me a hand, or if you have other ideas about getting this in core. Or anything else. Bèr

"drupal1", "drupal2", "drupal3"... more imagination would be nice One of the good parts of being a sysadmin instead of a network admin is that you can make funny hostnames (routers always have boring names). I once did the admin of a big entertainment company where the webservers were called "Huey, Dewey, and Louie", impossible to keep track of what host had what problem :-) But what about a poll on drupal on "call the beasts" contest. I mean we can come up with better names than drupal[1-9]! My suggestion goutte, tropfen and gota Is the poll module enabled on drupal?
