You know... it said that at the top of the api.drupal.org page, but I guess it didn't occur to me to actually look... Thanks.

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> generated?

Thanks in advance.

http://api.drupal.org/api/function_dump/6 might have worked at
some point. I honestly haven't paid any attention to that page,
which might integrate with IDEs; apparently no one else has either.

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

automatically from core. I can manipulate the data to match the
format I need no problem, but I thought I would ask here before I
went about finding my own way to scrape the data from a cvs
checkout.

This was broached before here
http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2009-February/032090.html
but appears stalled.

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

Cheers. -Sam
