[drupal-devel] [bug] Strange markup in book render functions
by puregin 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/1898 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: book.module Category: bug reports Priority: critical Assigned to: puregin Reported by: kika Updated by: puregin Status: patch This issue has been fixed with the application of patch from http://drupal.org/node/1482. However, I'm not sure if the print.css file patch has been commited. Dries? Also, as I mentioned, someone with real page/graphic designer's expertise should probably look over this and tweak/replace with better layout. puregin Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 9, 2003 - 15:06 : kika Snippet from book_render(): $output .= "<dt>". l($node->title, "node/view/$node->nid") ."</dt><dd>". book_body($node) ."<br /><br /></dd>"; Is using definition list here is really correct? This should be replaced with appropiate div's or even better, funnel through theme() Same goes for the function book_print(): $output .= "$node->title"; if ($node->body) { $output .= "<ul>". book_body($node) ."</ul>"; } Why wrap body inside <ul>? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 10, 2003 - 17:31 : al Yeah, it's all nasty. I patched this ages ago, but no one seemed interested. The patch now won't apply due to all the changes since then. I'm on this - expect a new patch to hit my sandbox shortly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 10, 2003 - 23:03 : ax please remove the superfluous <ul>s and <li> [1], too. to solve the problem of invalid nested <hx> tags, maybe we should change <h$depth> to <h1 class="book-h$depth">? this way, we could use <h2> - <h6> in book pages. alternatively, we should only use <h5> and <h6> in book pages - we shouldn't have nestings deeper than 4 in printed books, then. additionally, i think it would be a good idea to add id's to all book headings so they can be jumped to via fragment identifiers (url#fragment-identifier). i often wish this would be possible when referencing the last paragraph of a long page of documentation ... these id's should be of the form <hx id="foo" name="foo"> [2], with foo probably being the node-id of the single book page. adding id's to headings would also be a good idea for headings / sections in single book nodes. for example, it would be nice if i could link to list point 10 in the drupal installation instructions [3] via something like url#10. these id's had to be added manually. the question is: how can these id's be named to be unique within a /printed/ book? probably <node_id>_<section_id> ... [1] [ [drupal-devel] Drupal handbook formatting and heading tags | http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/drupal-devel/2003-June/025860.html ] [2] [ XHTML Spec, HTML Compatibility Guidelines, Fragment Identifiers | http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8 ] [3] http://drupal.org/node/view/260 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 15, 2003 - 07:23 : al Fixed in latest CVS. Uses all of Ax's suggestions: - <h1 class="depthX"> - Fixed to use CSS rather than tables. - Changes link at top to standard "breadcrumb" style, rather than hierarchy in tree view. - Removes odd and superfluous <ul> tags and the like. - Makes printed docs have proper <html> and <body> wrapping, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 5, 2005 - 00:20 : puregin I'm re-opening this, because the problem persists in CVS. 1) The current CVS version (1.288.2.4) of book module still wraps $node->body in an <ul> element in book_print_recurse(). This produces non-conformant HTML. I'm not sure why this was done in the first place - I'm guessing someone wanted to insulate from having bad markup in a book page throw off the enclosing page. Getting rid of the offending UL tags is a one-line solution, but what is the right thing to do here? I'd like to see something very structural - wrapping the /entire/ output (including the generated sectional header) of the book_print_recurse() wrapped in a <div> element. This will properly nest true structural sections, making the structure accessible to applications via DOM. It will also make it easier to use XSLT, for example, to transform into various XML based export formats, for example. Any reason not to do so? Also... when we get the 'printer-friendly' version of a page, the subtree rooted at that page is returned, and the root page is marked up with a class="book-h1". Is there any reason why we don't compute the depth of the root page, and use that to generate the "in-place" header? In other words, if a section is "book-h3" relative to the top-level book, shouldn't it be "book-h3" whenever it is viewed? In this case, we could apply the same principal to generating the <div> tags around each section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 5, 2005 - 15:58 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/book_printer_friendly_div.patch (1.57 KB) I am attaching a patch which fixes improper printer-friendly output, as discussed. The patch fixes book_print and book_print_recurse() to insert a <div> start tag before emitting the header, and to close this after subsections have been recursively generated. The <div> tag has an id attribute of the form id="sect-123", where the node's nid is 123, and a class attribute of form class="sect/n/" where the depth of the section is /n/. I'm marking this issue as critical, since the present HTML output plays havoc with any attempts at sane PDF generation. I will address the issue of where printer-friendly subsections should be 'rooted' in a follow-up. Djun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 6, 2005 - 01:53 : Dries Let's not abbreviate 'section' to 'sect'. Also, we use '-' to separate words in CSS names. - If the section ID uses the node ID, maybe we should use 'node-' instead of 'sect-'? - If the class uses depth, maybe we should use 'depth-' instead of 'sect'? The same is true for your other patch where you suggest to use 'n'. Better to make that 'node-'. (Feel free to merge both patches.) Looks like the book.module generates a _lot_ of CSS IDs/classes. If the introduction of these new IDs/classes allows us to remove some of the existing IDs/classes, please do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 6, 2005 - 21:26 : Steven Here's my idea.. why not use regular h tags for the book structure, and renumber the header tags in the content, starting one level after the current book depth? Here's a function which does this: <?php function fix_up_headers($text, $level = 1) { // Find all header tags that are used (if any) if (preg_match_all('/<h[0-9]+/i', $text, $tags) == 0) { return $text; } // Discard duplicates and sort them by number $tags = array_unique(array_map('strtolower', $tags[0])); natsort($tags); // Renumber them and replace them $i = $level; foreach ($tags as $tag) { $from[] = '@'. preg_quote($tag) .'(?![0-9])@i'; $from[] = '@'. preg_quote(str_replace('<', '</', $tag)) .'(?![0-9])@i'; $to[] = '<h'. $i; $to[] = '</h'. $i; $i++; } $text = preg_replace($from, $to, $text); // Change level 7 headers and higher to divs. return preg_replace(array('!<h([7-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)!i', '!</h([7-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)!i'), array('<div class="header-\1"', '</div'), $text); } ?> That way you can use header tags safely in the content (which is useful in the context of a single page) without messing up the book output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 00:50 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/02_book_printer_friendly_div.patch (1.78 KB) The attached patch changes the div id to the form 'node-123'. I was concerned that a document fragment might be created with both a book section and a non-book section from the same node, leading to non-unique id's, but at this point it seems like an unlikely scenario. I've changed 'class=sect1' to 'class=section-1'. I was trying to be lazy and use the DocBook section name convention to make XSLT conversion a little easier, but it's really not saving any effort, in the end, and this is clearer. I think 'section' rather than 'depth' is appropriate - it describes what the role of the div element is. I've closed the other issue regarding id's in header elements, because I've replaced the whole 'class="book-hx"' business in headers with 'class="book-header"'. Since the level can now be selected by context with respect to the enclosing div, separate classes for headers are not required. That is, we can style with CSS like the following: .section-1 h1.book-header { font-weight: bold; font-size: 2.2em; } .section-2 h1.book-header { font-size: 2em; } .section-1 p { text-align: justified; } .section-3 p { margin-left: 3em; margin-right: 3em; } Note that the section-2 h1 will be bold, since the section-2 div is nested within the section-1 div. Also, all paragraphs regardless of section will be justified; and section-3 paragraphs will be indented left and right. Because we can style /everything/ by section, not just headers, and because the styling specifications respect the sectional hierarchy, it's possible to create very elegant and sophisticated book pages with very little CSS. Even I can do it! :) I'm definitely *not* a designer, but I've played around a bit with this - have a look at http://www.puregin.org/book/print/129 for an example. I will attach patches for misc/print.css and misc/drupal.css separately. I don't understand why, but the present version (cvs) of these files has all of the h1.book-hx selectors in drupal.css - the printer-friendly page actually looks at print.css. Am I missing something? For the record, this approach seems to have been suggested by clairem in http://drupal.org/node/8049 where I have a little rant about headings in book pages. Twice :) Djun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 01:10 : puregin Steven - that's a neat idea, and very clever, clean code! But it still doesn't catch problems such as, for example, an h5 inside of an h1 section with no intervening h2..h4 headers, or? I'm inclined to be a bit suspicious of the approach, though - I rather think it's 'doing magic behind the user's back'. If people are going to insist on putting headings inside of pages, it should be possible. And it would be odd for users to discover that what they typed isn't what they get. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 01:32 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/print_css_div.patch (1.36 KB) Here's the patch for print.css. There's a couple of commented-out lines - these show how to make section headings 'run in' as part of the following paragraph (or other inline element). I am assuming that print.css is supposed to be something of an example that people would use to experiment with? Please feel free to improve this in any way - as I said, I'm far from being a graphic designer, and I'm also not really sure what the intention of this file is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 11:40 : Steven Puregin: nope, the code correctly handles missing h numbers. If the book page only uses h2, then that will be the first new level. If it uses h2 and h4, and it is inside a 3rd level book page for example (whose title would be h3), they they get renumbered to respectively h4 and h5 (no missing number). >From a semantic point of view it is crazy not to use h# for book titles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 11:44 : Steven A bit more verbose: I think the overwhelming majority of users browse a book on the site itself. Within a single page, there is a h1 tag for the page title. So it makes sense for a writer to use h2, h3, etc inside a single page. This is semantically valid HTML. On the other hand, the print output places the content in a whole new context. I would expect the book module to take whatever steps necessary 'behind the user's back' to ensure it displays correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 7, 2005 - 13:43 : puregin Sorry, I replied to the last post on the list - I'll include the post here for the record, and expand a little. Steven, I think that the issue you're addressing is actually a different one than I am trying to fix in my patch, which addresses how sections are wrapped. My patch would still allow users to write headers in their book pages - it would then be up to post-processing - or something like your approach - to deal with how embedded headers are dealt with. Perhaps we should take up your suggestion in another of the book.module issues dealing with the sequences of headers? How about http://drupal.org/node/8049, or http://drupal.org/node/4118? With respect to your suggestion - I understand now that you're proposing to apply the re-writing only to the printer-friendly output. I'm conflicted about this idea - on the one hand, the output which it produces is clearly an improvement over the present output. On the other hand, it changes what the user types to make it 'right' - I guess this is in the long tradition of HTML being interpreted very forgivingly by web-browsers and other applications. On the balance, I support your idea - I guess it's in the spirit of 'make things easier for the user'. With respect to the actual code - I don't think it will handle the case where h2, h3, and h4 are all used in the text, but the sequence h2, h4 occurs. To put it another way, the problem of checking whether headers are in a legal sequence is context sensitive, while a regular-expression search and replace (even if the replacement sequence remaps the targets) is context-free. When I say legal sequence, I mean legal in terms of book hierarchy, not in terms of the XHTML definition, which doesn't address hierarchy, because headers are titles, not sectional elements. SGML/XML publishing DTDs define such things via inclusion/exclusion on true sectional elements) The case I described is, admittedly, a relatively infrequent occurrence, and the general solution would be way to difficult to deal with - it would involve constructing and manipulating a DOM, or something along those lines. Ugh! Djun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 18, 2005 - 10:24 : cel4145 The Drupal doc team is very interested in being able to import/export book content. I'm sure that others would be interested in it, too. Djun has indicated that this patch is a good step toward having that functionality So +1 if the developers can help him to get this patch so that it can be implemented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 1, 2005 - 03:37 : puregin This patch is subsumed in my patch for issue http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/1482, which provides for XML export of books. Note that the patch for print.css in this issue still applies with the new patch.

[drupal-devel] [feature] export book as xml for formatting
by puregin 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/1482 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: book.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: puregin Reported by: BenEng Updated by: puregin Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/xml-export-03.patch (22.3 KB) Thanks, Dries. Here is a new patch, against revision r1.299. - now generate value DocBook XML (fragments). Level 0 nodes are exported as books; level 1 as chapters, and level 2 and higher as sections. Content is still wrapped as CDATA, for the moment. I am working on code to generate proper DocBook from HTML, but this will require 1) Tidy, HTMLCorrector or something of the sort, to ensure that the HTML is well-formed XHTML; and 2) XSLT support enabled for PHP. I assume that this will need to be a packaged as a contributed module? - generate OPML (titles only) - issue Content-type: text/xml headers for XML output (DocBook, OPML) - changed URL scheme (single callback for all exports, takes export type as 1st argument) - merged book_export_html and book_export_xml into a single function book_export with 'switch()' logic to handle different output formats, to support the above URL scheme. So for example, book/export/html/154 will generate printer friendly HTML, while book/export/docbook/154 generates DocBook. - added function _book_get_depth($nid) which computes the absolute depth of a node in a book hierarchy - printer-friendly HTML is now generated with the exported node embedded to its absolute depth (e.g., level 3 nodes will always be marked-up as level 3 nodes) - changed name book_node_visitor_print -> name book_node_visitor_html - added parameter depth to 'post-node' visitor function call - fixed incorrect parameter to node_invoke_nodeapi() - changed 'view' to 'print' so as to avoid rendering book navigation in printer friendly (or other export format) output. - Added the new admin/help documentation, updated to include the XML export functionality. puregin Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 5, 2003 - 14:38 : BenEng Export an entire collaborative book to xml (docbook) so that it can be formatted using xslt (e.g., to rtf or pdf) and printed. It would also be nice to be able to perform the reverse. That is to import a collaborative book from an xml (docbook) file that is uploaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 2, 2004 - 17:10 : moshe weitzman can someone suggest an xml schema for this? i think we need a general xml schema for nodes. after that, this becomes a simple matter of nesting node elements (I think) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 1, 2005 - 02:42 : Teto Hi, Is there any news about a such feature ? All i've found about a docbook schema is here : http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/schema/ It seems there isn't much in the docbook cvs about that. Teto. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 14, 2005 - 02:11 : puregin Here's a list of the Book publishing DTDs I know about: NameNotesRef ISO 12083:1998//DTD Book//EN - this includes ISO 12093:1993//DTD Mathematics//EN Committee standard - very general. Used e.g. by University of California Press. www.xmlxperts.com/bookdtd.htm [1] DocBook Applications - widely used by Computer book publishers, e.g. O'Reilly. Good support. docbook.org [2] TEI/TEI-Lite Applications - scholarly/historical/literary documents www.tei-c.org [3] MIL-STD-38784 (CALS) Applications - Military/Govt/Enterprise publishing http://xml.coverpages.org/mil-std-38784-a1-dtd.txt [4] I'd highly recommend DocBook as a useable, technically focused, XML DTD with strong toolset support. [1] http://www.xmlxperts.com/bookdtd.htm [2] http://docbook.org [3] http://www.tei-c.org/ [4] http://xml.coverpages.org/mil-std-38784-a1-dtd.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 18, 2005 - 01:37 : puregin I'd suggest we start with something very simple. The patch which I submitted for http://drupal.org/node/1898 wraps each node in <div> tags, with a level, and a node id attribute, for printer friendly output. We can't rely in general on the contents of a node being XHTML, even if we force output through an XHTML validator such as tidy. So our best bet is to encode the entire contents of a node as CDATA. This gives us hierarchy, and encapsulated contents (of any kind - later this could also be other kinds of data or markup) This output will be valid XML, with a pretty simple DTD. It is easy to take such a file and write simple XSLT based scripts on the the client side to explode this file into a directory tree of HTML, a single HTML file, or many other formats. Importing is trickier. It's relatively easy to import an exported file, and update the nodes of the book according to the hierarchy defined by the sectional <div> elements. Importing needs to take care of structure which has changed - child nodes added, deleted, or moved. It would also be nice to have some client-side scripts to import other formats into this nested sectional <div> based format - for example, to take a directory tree of HTML fragments, and make this into an importable file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 1, 2005 - 03:33 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/xml-export.patch (14.06 KB) This patch enables export of books as XML documents. The XML is DocBook "at the level of structure", but node contents are wrapped as CDATA, since we can't be sure that the contents are valid XML. Several other bugs/feature requests are also addressed with this patch: - Fixes bugs http://drupal.org/node/1898 http://drupal.org/node/1482 http://drupal.org/node/8049 http://drupal.org/node/1899 Should go a long way towards implementing feature request http://drupal.org/node/2062 It should also be easy to extend this to produce OPML, for example. - Adds about 170 lines, of which more than 100 are comments - Added doxygen comments - Made doxygen comment format consistent; fixed minor grammatical slips - A proper Doctype and more informative HTML element is generated for printer-friendly HTML output. - Refactored book_print() to use book_recurse(). - Refactored book_recurse(). Applies 'visitor' callback functions to nodes during weight/title order tree-traversal. The parameterized visitor callbacks can be used to generate different kinds of output. There are many other kinds of operations on books which can be implemented by writing a pre-node/post-node pair of callback functions: word-count/ statistics gathering, comparison, copying, search and replace... - Introduced book_export() which uses book_recurse() to generate DocBook-like XML to export book contents in a structured form. An md5 hash is computed for each node to help import code to decide if a node needs to be updated or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 01:29 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/xml-export-01.patch (14.19 KB) This updated patch adds "weight" metadata, which I forgot to capture in the previous patch. I'm not sure how much other metadata I should include. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 02:06 : puregin Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/explode2dir.php (6.64 KB) The attached command-line PHP script may be useful in testing the XML export patch supplied. Assuming your local version of PHP is built with CLI support and XML parser support, you should be able to run the script against an XML export file generated by the book module with my patch. After you have installed the patch, you can select a book page, click on the 'export XML' link, and save the result as a file, say 'test.xml'. Then run the script. On my system this looks like this: % ./export2dir.php test.xml This will produce output that looks something like this: ./explode2dir.php test.xml md5: 9e8ca98c6a8be35c21f31f7937608acc weight: 1 md5: 11a1956a1592feac37abee6b469e62c8 weight: 0 md5: ed4c91279d3bed28b56899b75ccaa9aa weight: 0 It will generate a directory hierarchy, with one directory per book node. Each directory contains a file containing the node contents and a file 'nid' containing the metadata. You can check, for example, that the md5 signature of the contents match the md5 signature recorded with the metadata. Djun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 11:46 : Dries I like the approach taken in this patch! Let's tidy up the menu structure. I suggest changing book/export (docbook) book/print (plain-text) to export/docbook export/text If we add OPML-support, it would then become: export/opmlSimilarly, I suggest renaming 'export XML' to 'export DocBook XML' (or something). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 11:53 : Dries Haven't tried it but how does DocBook handle CDATA? Does it come out OK? Read: does it make sense to do it this way? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 16:04 : puregin Dries, The output XML which I've implemented is only 'DocBook-like', not true DocBook. I've been dealing with structure at the top level (book, chapter, section). I've hidden away the actual content inside a CDATA section. The XML is really intended to provide a container for export. At this point I'm trying to focus on a relatively simple way to do an export/import round trip of the current content format (text/'loose' HTML). Most people would probably not edit this using an XML editor. I think I can generate a tar/gzip archive of the directory structure I described (output of explode2dir.php) directly on the server, either by calling an external pipeline, or by using the tar/gzip PEAR extension. So the XML format I described would be useful primarily as means to do the /import/, unless we can think of a better way to import such a directory structure (perhaps via the node_import module?) How the CDATA section is handled depends on the application. Most XML editors will display this as CDATA, allow the user to edit as CDATA, and to perform edit operations such as cut/paste to convert the CDATA to other XML elements. DocBook formatting applications could do various things - ignore the CDATA; format as 'preformatted', e.g., source listing; or try to do something clever, like attempting to parse and convert the CDATA into real DocBook before proceeding. To generate true DocBook, we would have to: * emit a document type declaration * decide if we want to export complete documents (i.e., top level elements such as books, articles, set) or document fragments. The real difficulty is dealing with the /content/: to convert this into DocBook, we'd have to attempt to map (possibly not well formed) text and/or HTML into well-formed DocBook XML. This would require guessing in many cases, since text/HTML doesn't directly encode the author's intent. A problem with this would be that the content might not be returned exactly as exported in an (export/import) 'round trip' . If we want to support true DocBook, it would probably be better to do this via an input filter, similar to the PHP input filter - definitely worth pursuing, but perhaps a separate issue? I will rewrite the patch to make sure that the exported XML validates as a DocBook fragment, and punt off to people who actually want to deal with real DocBook the problem of embedding and converting content. These folks would probably not so interested in round-trip import/export, until we have native DocBook nodes, at which point many of these issues vanish (I hope :) Regards, Djun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 3, 2005 - 17:01 : Amazon As an active member of the documentation team I would greatly appreciate any ability to export and import content to and from the documentation handbooks. Drupal is slow for editing, and has some usability issues that I will be following up on. Please consider accepting this as a incremental step to assisting the documentation team and other editors. Kieran ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 4, 2005 - 00:28 : Dries If the goal is to generate books, DocBook-export is key. However, if the output is only DocBook-like, it is only going to be used by a handful of people. I think the code comments should mention that it is only DocBook-like. If the goal is to import/export books, OPML might be the better choice. I think book syndication (publish/subscribe) is going to be the more popular. Either way, let's clean up the URL scheme and extend the book_help() function a bit (if not already). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 5, 2005 - 04:00 : Dries I made some changes (URL scheme) and committed this patch to HEAD. Please update your tree before making more changes. - Can you update the issues affected by this commit? - I wonder why the release info (md5-sum) isn't stored at XML attributes so it can be parsed/extracted easily. Probably DocBook-specific. - Firefox did not recognize the XML document as being XML. I think we might have to send the proper headers: drupal_set_header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');. Haven't checked yet. Great work Djun.

[drupal-devel] [feature] Allow annoymous users to log in on access denied

by Ross M Karchner 06 Jun '05

Hello, In this example module: http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/file/contributions/docs/developer/examples/n… The output is themed as (PHP removed): <div class="node_example_order_info"> The order is for %quantity %color items. </div> but when I view a node created with this module, all the HTML is stripped: <div class="content"><p>The order is for 0 items.</p> Can someone point me towards a page or discussion that explains why this is? -Ross

[drupal-devel] [bug] Do not execute functions in include files
by chx 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18213 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: chx Reported by: killes(a)www.drop.org Updated by: chx Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/bootstrap_6.patch (15.56 KB) Some code simplification in drupal_bootstrap and better PHPdoc. (Thanks Dries and Steven.) chx Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 2, 2005 - 00:09 : killes(a)www.drop.org Drupal currently executes functions in include files. This is very annoying if you want to include files from external scripts such as update scripts or other scripts that want to use Drupal as a framework. Offending files are: database.inc: db_set_active(); session.inc: session_set_save_handler("sess_open", "sess_close", "sess_read", "sess_write", "sess_destroy", "sess_gc"); session_start(); common.inc: A bunch of stuff at the bottom. All this should be moved into a start.inc file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 27, 2005 - 08:44 : adrian I haven't done this recently, but back in 4.4 era I attempted something similar to this for the install api. A _lot_ of modifications were required to be able to use (for instance) the theme api without needing to have a database connection active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 27, 2005 - 08:55 : adrian It's definately not a simple problem. For instance.. the db connection needs to be started during bootstrap, and during normal execution. I think the better idea is to include a DRUPAL_INIT constant we can check before executing the function. (or a DRUPAL_NO_INIT .. i'm not picky). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 28, 2005 - 23:53 : killes(a)www.drop.org Here's an old patch by me that illustrates what I want to do. http://lists.drupal.org/archives/drupal-devel/2005-03/txtq23pAcHATw.txt Instead of putting the stuff into index.php, alternative file names need to be found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 19:36 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/boot.patch (6.83 KB) Well, I have written something to address the issue. Now you can include everything to your hearts content just include init.inc as well and do an appropriate drupal_bootstrap. Alas, ATM database and bootstrap is very interwined. This interdependency could be obliterated if we'd not use variable_get('dev_query') in database.*.inc. cvs diff -u -N -F^f against cvs.drupal.org as CVSROOT failed to include to include the two new files, so I'll include them as followups. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 19:37 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/boot_0.patch (10.31 KB) Hm, settings.php changes were ommited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 19:37 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/init.inc (3.46 KB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 19:38 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/settings_ini_set.php (850 bytes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 19:44 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/boot_1.patch (14.49 KB) Following advice from darix I have now created one patch. Still, I'd like to know how could I do this with cvs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 4, 2005 - 20:01 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/boot_2.patch (14.48 KB) Steef found that I had $$ in settings.php. He also asked what's this good for. Several things, but most advantages come when you use only parts of Drupal. If you want use, say, only our forms functions then now you can include('common.inc'); without side effects. If you need the database layer, you do a include('init.inc') and call drupal_bootstrap('database') ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 5, 2005 - 23:03 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/boot_3.patch (17.98 KB) The database layer is now totally independent of other parts of Drupal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 15, 2005 - 21:37 : chx A very stupid bug related to variable init is fixed and I am sync'd to HEAD, so timer_init('page') is called. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 16, 2005 - 23:12 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/bootstrap_3.patch (12.36 KB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 4, 2005 - 17:29 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/bootstrap_4.patch (12.36 KB) Fixed drupal_bootstrap('database') -- $phase was 0 , and == FALSE fired. === FALSE is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 4, 2005 - 19:03 : nsk Some days before I was studying the Drupal source code and it caused me headaches that it executed code via include calls. I think it is better design to not execute anything automatically in includes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 4, 2005 - 19:25 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/bootstrap_5.patch (15.26 KB) Added phpdoc and moved drupal_unpack to init.inc thus now session handler can be used independently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 5, 2005 - 11:13 : Dries Sorry but the quality of the PHPdoc is not up to standards. Please use proper punctuation, typography, line-wrapping, etc. It should also explain when/why to use this function. I can't help but think this is ugly code. drupal_bootstrap, for example, can be written more elegantly (not tested): function drupal_bootstrap($phase) { $phases = array('database', 'session', 'bootstrap', 'common'); foreach ($phases as $step) { _drupal_bootstrap($step); if ($phase == $step) { break; } } } instead of: function drupal_bootstrap($phase) { static $done = -1; $phase = array_search($phase, array('database', 'session', 'bootstrap', 'common')); if ($phase === FALSE) { return; } for (; $done <= $phase; $done++) { _drupal_bootstrap($done); } }
