Stable entity type ids in D7?
by jeff＠ayendesigns.com 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

I have a couple dozen fields in my db. When we went from alpha6 to alpha7, the entity type id for comment changed from 2 to 1, and node from 1 to 2. I had to change all the ETID columns for my field instances, as well as the node blobs where entity type id is also kept. Now in beta1, comment is back to being 2, and node is back to being 1, and all my node fields have 2 in the entity type id and node blob and my fields aren't listed again on the content type. Is there a reason this keeps changing? Is there a way I can get back into synch more easily than doing all that work again? I could just change the entity types, but I don't want to have to do that again with every release. Jeff

Drupal 7 API Change notification: Late changes including FAPI select and CSS/JS Aggregation
by Randy Fay 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '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.* There are a number of changes over the last couple of weeks. Two of these (CSS/JS Aggregation and FAPI select #required) are re-do's after the original API change was hotly discussed, so hoping you didn't take those too seriously when they were announced before. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/744384>) The signature of * drupal_anonymous_user*() has changed - it no longer takes an optional $session. If you use drupal_anonymous_user($session), it won't work right any more. Also in this issue, the behavior of session updates changed: Although the session data will always be current, the timestamp will not be with anonymous users. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/881530>) If you use *field_create_field*() to create a *term reference field*, you have to use a vocabulary machine name, not $vid. Validation handlers or widget code will be affected in the same way. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/769226>) *CSS and Javascript aggregation* was changed (again) in this issue. Somebody needs to write a blog post or reply. The actual resolution went through many difficult iterations since the last time it got committed. It has significant impact on performance and best practice for module developers, but I was unable to grok the actual outcome. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/140783>) *FAPI Select elements with #required * was reworked again since the last API change notification about this. #required = FALSE became the default again, and the new #empty_value and #empty_option influence whether an additional empty value is added. Details are in the issue summary here<http://drupal.org/node/140783#comment-3519770>and here <http://drupal.org/node/140783#comment-3533170>. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/356036>) *field_content_languages*() now returns all languages (enabled and disabled) instead of just enabled languages. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/930122>) The Drupal variable file_directory_temp (variable_get('file_directory_temp')) has gone away. All who need this information should be using file_directory_temp() anyway, and in reality references should be to temporary://<whatever> when working with temporary files. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/438224>) The permission named '*post comments without approval*' was renamed to 'skip comment approval'. If you have a test or other use of this permission, your code is broken. Beta now! We're getting there. As always, if you know more about these than I do (it doesn't take much) then reply to this and educate us better about it. And contribute to the appropriate documentation as well.

Capturing $form array of a specific content type
by Sam Tresler 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Could be I am missing something easy here, but is there a standard way to get the $form array of a node/add/* right before it would be rendered. Basically, I want it after all the hook_form_alters ave happened, but I want the array, not the html drupal_render generates? I'm working on a custom form that I want to potentially create several nodes. I could just manually create the same fields and then deal with the submit, but it seems to me that they must already exist *exactly* how I want them anyway. Currently I have the following: function my_form($form, &$form_state) { $my_form = array(); // Some fields added to $my_form... $fake_node->type = 'my_content_type'; $node_form = node_form(&$form_state, $fake_node); $form = array_merge($node_form, $form); //More fields added to $my_form... return $form; } However, that just gives me the standard node fields, not the CCK fields that exist in my_content_type. Thanks in advance if anyone can help. Sam Tresler 646-246-8403

Domain Access Cron
by Josh 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Anyone have experience with Domain Access and running cron? I'm setting up Domain access to work with multiple domains, all shared tables -- and I can't find documentation on how I should run cron. Should I setup cron to run on all domains or just on the "primary" domain? I'm sure the answer is that it depends. I'm sure this is obvious to some, but I'm worried I'll make a fatal mistake. Josh

"Come for the software..."
by Domenic Santangelo 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Question: does anyone know if there's going to be any more discussion on the Drupal slogan? "Come for the software, stay for the community" seems so... navel-gazing to me. (If you feel this should be moved to a different list feel free to suggest one; the wiki page on the topic got locked, the GDO post got locked, the bug related to it got closed...) -D

Automatic disabling of comments
by nan wich 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I have seen this done on the web and surely there is a module in Drupal, but after half an hour of seraching can't find it. I need to set comments, preferably by content type, to disabled or read-only after a certain length of time. I don't think it would be hard to write, but I'd hate to re-invent a wheel if it already exists. Does anyone know of such a module?

I wouldn't call this standard, but you can put something like this in a custom module: function MY_MODULE_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) { if($form['#id'] == 'MY_CONTENT_TYPE') { $debugging = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '111.222.333.444') ? 1 : 0; if($debugging) { echo "<textarea cols=150 rows=20 style='font-size: 10px;'>"; echo "\n" . htmlentities(print_r($form,1)); echo '</textarea>'; } } } Replace "MY_MODULE" with your module name. Replace "MY_CONTENT_TPE" with your content type. Replace "111.222.333.444" with your own IP address. This will spit out a big textbox full of the form data, that only you can see.

One of my customer's people was trying to edit a node using an iPad. We use the CKEditor module (not not with WYSIWYG module). She says the editor buttons didn't work. The fact that the editor took over the textarea seems to indicate that iPad can do javascript to some extent. Any ideas on why this didn't work? I don't have an iPad, so I can't test it.
