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> generated?

Thanks in advance.

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

which might integrate with IDEs; apparently no one else

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

automatically from core. I can manipulate the data to
match the

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.
