Accesslog and Node_counter
by nan wich 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I was just browsing the Accesslog and saw over 100,000 hits on node/1000 from Wikipedia, but the node_counter table shows less than 1,000 views total. Why do the referrals from Wikipedia not count? I ask because we are increasingly needing to get view counts per day, not just total. I can easily add a hook_nodeapi('view') to count from today, but wanted to get historical counts as well.

hijack node submit/preview to process ajax call first?
by Aaron Winborn 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I'm creating an HTML5 canvas editor for a filefield widget, which uploads a canvas image, returning an FID to be stored in a textfield. Everything works, except that now I want to delay node submission until the canvas has a chance to save its work (assuming its associated 'Save' button hasn't yet been clicked). I'm mostly there, thanks to some help from merlinofchaos. Currently, I save the work and return false on the submit/preview click, and trigger('submit') after the ajax call to save the canvas. However, it's not quite working -- the canvas saves properly, storing the new fid in the field, but the form is reloaded, rather than processing. http://drupalbin.com/16680 Any ideas?

Entity documentation needed
by Ivan Jaroš 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

*Hi. I'm looking for any documentation about working with entities in Drupal 7. I wasn't able to find anythnig usable at all. I'm not talking about fields, there is plenty documentation and examples. Particulary I'm looking for anything that would explain functions needed for creating a custom entity, what are the relations between functions, what is the workflow and examples of code. I wasn't able to find any examples that would have any of those things. I've also found that documentation at api.drupal.org regarding entities is really insufficient. Also there is practically none documentation whatsoever in handbook about entities from programatical point of view. So any typs for blog posts about entities for programmers? ** * *Ivan Jaroš* *blog: ivanjaros.com* tel: +421 948 496 678 skype: ijaros

D6 Views Relationship
by jeff＠ayendesigns.com 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I'm confusing myself trying to think through a view requirement. Start with a typical content type that could have an image (cck)...but might not. If it does not, then the view should include, with that node record, node records of content type Image, the selection factor being that they share a taxonomy vocabulary term, the idea being that the view row will then have images from a 'pool' along with it from which one can later be selected to be shown. So... NEWS content type IMAGE content type tid = 4 image 1: tid = 4 image 2: tid = 4 the view filters a non-image content type (NEWS) and should join the IMAGE content type and the images having the same tid I can't think this through to the next step. It doesn't seem that the relationship dialog will allow me to specify that the taxonomy term be the key AND that it be only the Image content type.

Some problems with a CCK Field module
by Kyle Mathews 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I'm writing a CCK Field module to provide integration with Etherpad so you can add an Etherpad field to a content type which will then automatically bring in an etherpad editor via an Iframe when you create a new node. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/98794 for more. But this is my first cck field module and I'm running into a couple of difficulties. First, I don't really understand how a widget saves information. The problem is I need to save more information then I ask people to add in the widget. The widget is just a checkbox that asks people if they want to include an etherpad with the node. But I need to save with the node not just that but also the etherpad url, etherpad id, and attributes. Where do I add this information to be saved? Is there some sort of CCK-specific submit function I can use? The second questions is more of a shot in the dark. Now, when I add an Etherpad field to a content type, it doesn't always work. By not working, I mean my widget doesn't show up on the node edit page and there's no output on the page (though the output variable is defined in node.tpl.php, just it's empty). That's not much to go on I know but is there any common reason why this could happen? If you'd like to look at the code, it's at https://github.com/KyleAMathews/drupal-etherpad/blob/master/etherpad.module Thanks! -- Kyle Mathews Blog: kyle.mathews2000.com/blog Twitter: http://twitter.com/kylemathews Company: http://eduglu.com

Storing and graphing custom stats
by Greenman 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hey Developers I would like to build a KPI dashboard for my site (D7). Do we have a library/module that lets me store time based data ? I have an old (D5) custom system, but would like to know if there was something to share. I have a bunch of metrics that I want to record and then graph in daily, weekly, monthly chunks. The data is very particular to my site, but helps me keep track of how well I am doing. On cron, I run a set of callbacks and then record the results in a way that lets me review progress. Do we have a library that will handle the storage of data ? Statistics does not really let me plug in the things I want and Statistics Pro does a bit too much that I don't need. Some data works if I add it to my Google analytics, but that can be a bit limiting. Any ideas ? Peter

Drupal 7 API Change notification: $node->content['links']
by Randy Fay 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

*We try to notify this list when API changes are made in Drupal 7, so contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken. *(issue <http://drupal.org/node/878092>) The interface to * $node->content['links']* and *$comment->content['links'] *has changed again, and has landed near to where it started out. In #29 of that issue there was a major API change that broke lots of things. However, it never got announced, so if you missed that one, you're probably close to OK. Most of that API change just went away again. See #93<http://drupal.org/node/878092#comment-3708888>, #94, and #95 for explanations, as well as the updated upgrade guide section<http://drupal.org/node/224333#node_links>. -- Randy Fay Drupal Module and Site Development randy(a)randyfay.com +1 970.462.7450
