Aaaand....this is now specifically off topic for "install system". On 13-Jul-06, at 2:11 PM, Gabor Hojtsy wrote:
I have seen a great demand for the enhanced archive.module by codemonkeyx to get into core. Although I am fine with the archive module in core currently, it does not seem so that it has any future, so I figured I better put time into *some* archive functionality for core, so that this stuff is kept. Whether this is a relatively narrow application module I don't know, it will be decided by the community. Maybe my efforts will go unused. Maybe someone will use the enhanced archive module even if cck+views +event provides a more generic all-covering solution, as you suggested.
Gabor, thanks for taking this on. We all agree that Views etc. are a much more complete solution. I think we can also agree that views + event + CCK are not ready for a core The narrow solution which the core archive module provides -- of browsing by date -- is fine...it's just narrow. If anyone wants to work an an alternate archive.module functional implementation using a views.inc or other minimal implementation (perhaps taking the opportunity to remove tracker module and implementing "unread" functionality as on groups.drupal.org)...I'm sure the community would look forward to reviewing patches :P -- Boris Mann Vancouver 778-896-2747 San Francisco 415-367-3595 SKYPE borismann http://www.bryght.com
