huh. I have no idea why you would need the drupal6 directory there. the set tags statement is pointed at the file. Seems like that should make it stop working.

However, you should also try in insert mode CTL-x CTL-o in the middle of a function, such as hook_a<CTL-x><CTL-o> to get a list of hook_access, hook_alter, etc, in order to get the autocomplete functionality. It should drop down a lost of hooks and open a buffer with parameters for each hook.

OK, great, Sam, got it working after doing the following:

1. Put in the absolute path in the set tags line in .vimrc as you suggested:

set tags ~/.vim/drupal6.tags

2. Copied not just drupal6.tags but the drupal6 directory also to ~/.vim

So:
victorkane@victorkane:~/.vim$ ls -l
total 52
drwxr-xr-x 3 victorkane victorkane 4096 2006-10-24 08:08 after

drwxr-xr-x 2 victorkane victorkane 12288 2006-03-17 17:16 colors__
drwxr-xr-x 2 victorkane victorkane 4096 2006-10-24 17:41 doc
*drwxr-xr-x 3 victorkane victorkane 4096 2009-08-01 11:05 drupal6
-rw-r--r-- 1 victorkane victorkane 19644 2009-08-01 08:38 drupal6.tags*
drwxr-xr-x 2 victorkane victorkane 4096 2009-07-04 17:31 plugin
victorkane@victorkane:~/.vim$

Now, when I position my cursor within the phrase "hook_requirements" on the typical "Implementation of hook_requirements" comment in a file I am working on, and do "Ctrl-]" I am automagically taken to the function definition. I get back to where I was with "Ctrl-T".

Once again, thanks a lot for this suggestion, and it opens the doors to doing even more with vim!

My mistake Victor, .vimrc needs to take an absolute path change

set tags .vim/drupal6.tags

to

set tags ~/.vim/drupal6.tags

if that doesn't work, try manually loading the tags file in vim with
:set tags=/home/yourhome/.vim/drupal6.tags and see if it will work

Good catch on the hooks/ dir, I re-wrote that to have the -d flag as
I wasn't keen on traversing the entire cvs download to get to the file.

I'll add .inc files to the vim doc as well, as I believe they aren't
there currently.

Let me know if that works for you.

OK, first of all, thanks so much for the fruits of an idle
moment! I use vim all the time now, and this is great.

Now, a problem and a solution.

I executed the below cvs statement on the command line
But since it includes "-d drupal6", it doesn't create a hooks
directory, but rather a drupal6 directory.
Error:
$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags hooks
ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "hooks" : No such file
or directory

So the following does work:

$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags drupal6

Then, you probably want to include .inc files in the list, yielding:

if has("autocmd")
" Drupal *.module and *.install files.
augroup module
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.module set filetype=php
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.install set filetype=php
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.inc set filetype=php
set tags=.vim/drupal6.tags
augroup END
endif

However, when editing a file, , Ctrl-] gives error:

E433: No tags file
E426: tag not found: drupal_get_form Am I missing something?

Works like a charm. I'd really rather skip the first
incarnation I
had, and just have the hooks loaded. I'll update the vim
docs here
shortly, but for the record.

$ cvs -z6
-d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib
co
-r DRUPAL-6--1 -d drupal6 contributions/docs/developer/hooks
$ ctags -R -o drupal6.tags hooks
$ mv drupal.tags ~/.vim

(make the .vim directory if you need to)

Then add this to ~/.vimrc

if has("autocmd")
" Drupal *.module and *.install files.
augroup module
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.module set filetype=php
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.install set filetype=php
set tags=.vim/drupal6.tags
augroup END
endif

And you have code-hinting for drupal core in vim. Just
remember to
update it as you change versions. But it sounds like in Drupal 7
this can scrape directly from .api.php files; I haven't even
looked
at those yet.

Now what was I doing before this diversion....

Thanks Neil,
Some further digging and I found out that php code
completion in
vim can map to a ctags output file, which is pretty
easy to
generate.

ctags -R -o drupal6.tags --langmap=php:.module *

then load it in vim

:set tags=drupal6.tags

and you have code complete for every function in core.

However, this unfortunately doesn't get code complete on
hooks, as
they aren't actually named in core, but constructed from
modulename_function().

So, I guess my next question is where are the hook
function
definitions from api.drupal.org
<http://api.drupal.org> <http://api.drupal.org>
<http://api.drupal.org> generated?

Thanks in advance.

http://api.drupal.org/api/function_dump/6 might have

to that

which might integrate with IDEs; apparently no one

This list is already available in JSON format in the
development
version of API module. That or another format
should be
present
in the future for an api_filter module to provide
an input
format filter without running the api module.

I believe that api.drupal.org

<http://api.drupal.org> scrapes this

automatically from core. I can manipulate the

This was broached before here

but appears stalled.

yes, I have too much time on my hands currently.
