State of geo and google map modules?
by Domenic Santangelo 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Is there a good state-of-the-union post somewhere on the status of various location/geocode + mapping modules? There are a metric crapton on d.o with dependencies up the wazoo some of which are maintained, some of which aren't -- it's a complete disaster as far as I can tell, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Halp? -D

Saving admin settings
by Jeff Greenberg 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Lately, it seems that I'm stumped by what turns out to be 'weak eyes.' Here's another. I have a callback to the function in a module that provides the admin settings form for the module. The form appears just fine, and functions correctly. At the end of my form definition I have the obligatory return system_settings_form($form); The issue is that none of the form data is stored. The form is generic...no submit handler specified. Jeff

D7 Query Conversion
by nan wich 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

I successfully converted a similar query, even though I couldn't figure out how to add "LOWER(n.title)" (so it might not work with Postgres), but how do I this one: SELECT COUNT(n.nid) FROM {node} n WHERE n.type=':type' AND (n.title REGEXP '^[^[:alpha:]].*$') Extra points if you tell me how to fix that for non-English.

Automatic path to filefield on node_import
by Gustavo Cabral 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there: I have a problem between node_import and filefied when I set the "Path Settings" of the cck filefield like [user]-[site-date-dd][site-date-mm][site-date-yyyy]. When I perform an import of node where there are also importing files, I get an error node_import failing to recognize the FileField Tokens. Is there any way to make me recognize node_import these tokens? Can I do this programmatically? Where should I have to modify the code to achieve this? Thanks a lot, sincerely, Gustavo.-

Auto-tagging a large amount of content
by Brian Vuyk 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hello all. We have a site we are migrating to D6, and it has a very large amount of text content that we've imported. We are trying to find a good solution to auto-tag all the migrated content. Obviously, there is a bunch of modules that do term extraction / tagging in the d.org modules list, however, there is little in the way of comparison of the various modules, and to test them all properly could take days / weeks. So, what has everyone used in the past? Any gotchas we should be looking for? Note: This is for very short term use - once the migrated content is tagged, new content will be tagged manually. Also, ideally we want something that uses a single 'tags' vocabulary instead of creating new vocabularies for people, locations etc (ie, like OpenCalais does). Thanks in advance for any recommendations. Brian

Drupal 7 API Change notification: #builder_function/node form changes
by Randy Fay 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

*In trying to find a way to notify developers of D7 API changes, the best solution we've come up with is to formally publish to the Drupal Development Mailing List. API change notifications will occasionally be posted here with a title starting with "Drupal 7 API Change notification"* Recently the way *forms* use *#builder_function* was changed significantly, and in many cases it should no longer be called. (issue impact summary<http://drupal.org/node/735800#comment-3101122>). If your module does anything with #builder_function, you'll want to read this carefully. An additional note: If you are chasing HEAD in D7, you should subscribe to all issues of the HEAD2HEAD <http://drupal.org/project/issues/head2head> module, which is the best indicator of when your current D7 install is going to be broken by a database change. Thanks, -Randy

Using D7 styled images
by Jeff Greenberg 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

I have used the predefined image styles (thumbnail, medium, etc.) within views. As a result, I note that with a file path for node attachments of styles/default/files/field/image, the styled image exists in styles/default/files/styles/medium/field/image. So now, I am inserting a php snippet into a block, to make use of a styled image. The api says that the path should be relative to the files path. My call is: theme_image_style(array('style_name' => 'medium','path' => 'field/image/myimage.png','alt' => 'text')); The resulting HTML is <img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://mydomain.com/image/generate/medium//" alt="text" /> so, I assume that /image is a callback url rather than something that should exist in the file system. If not, that's the first issue. Then, the /medium// seems to be missing the file name. Thanks! Jeff
