Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/29676 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/29676 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: archive.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Morbus Iff Reported by: Morbus Iff Updated by: Morbus Iff Status: patch (code needs review) Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/archive_0.module (11.28 KB) Alright. I've attached another new version that adds a new feature that wasn't part of the original codemonkeyx CVS, but was chatted about on the devel list back in April. If this particular feature has bad code or needs heavy refactoring, certainly consider ONLY the version in comment #9 (and the matching drupal.css patch in #10). This new version supports dated archives based on taxonomy tids. It was a quick addition which NHPR.org needed (for the date nav; the normal tid archive pager wasn't strong enough for our needs). Since it was a quick addition, it supports only ONE tid at a time - the 'and/or' syntax for the taxonomy.module was not brought over. If that syntax was desired, it'd make more sense to create some sort of API for archive.module so that other nodes can take advantage of the dated nav in their normal pages (like node types, users, forums, etc.) The added code supports term matches at any granularity: # all node types that match tid 15000 ('The Front Porch') http://www.nhpr.org/archive/term/15000 # all 2005 node types that match tid 20 ('Health') http://www.nhpr.org/archive/2005/term/20 # all March, 2003 node types that match tid 9 ('Education') http://www.nhpr.org/archive/2003/3/term/9 # all July 11, 2003 node types that match tid 49 ('Economy') http://morbus.totalnetnh.net/nhpr/archive/2002/7/11/term/49 Morbus Iff Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 21:08:49 +0000 : Morbus Iff Over at http://drupal.org/node/8287, Berkes mentions that the core archive.module was considered being removed, per a discussion at the Drupal Sprint. Kjartan also mentions he would "love to have the archive module improved in general." In chatting with chx about this, he mentioned codemonkeyx's rewrite sitting in contrib/modules/archive/. I'll be doing some work with the archive.module over the next few days, and will be basing my changes around codemonkeyx's version, and making it compatible with HEAD. This general Issue is to move codemonkeyx's version into HEAD as a replacement to the existing archive.module. An unknown version of his replacement can be seen at http://www.codemonkeyx.net/archive. I'll be running a live HEAD version soon as well. These patches were made during the customization of Drupal by http://www.NHPR.org. In loving support of open source software, http://www.NHPR.org will continue to contribute patches they feel the community will benefit from. Questions about this patch should be directed to morbus@disobey.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 19:45:59 +0000 : Morbus Iff Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues_2 (9.56 KB) As an example of a very early revision, see the attached, with the following changes from the current contrib CVS: * removed the year offset from theme_archive_navigation_years, which controlled how many year links to show at once in the top nav. For those with sites with more than five years, they'll WANT people to notice that they have five years, not to have to click on the earliest date and then have their expectations changed. * made the "created > $date" in archive_buildQuery "created >= $date" instead, to allow posts that were created at exactly midnight that day (like me, by design). * since there's no block, I made the menu item visible upon first load. this menu item is given "access content" permissions. More to come, including doxygen and gmt considerations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 19:47:41 +0000 : Morbus Iff Might as well start getting a review of it so I can fix 'em as they come in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 19:56:49 +0000 : Tobias Maier cant you provide a patch file? thanks for your work ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 20:04:01 +0000 : Morbus Iff The codemonkeyx version is a complete rewrite of the core archive.module. If I were to create a patch file against core, every line would be deleted, and every line would be new. Once I finish my revisions to codemonkey's version, I'll post the final version here, as well as a patch against his current CVS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 20:09:13 +0000 : Tobias Maier ok, thanks again :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 13:41:43 +0000 : Junyor +1 for this change. The archive.module in core is dead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 16:14:30 +0000 : adrian What is the progress on this morbus ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 16:29:13 +0000 : Morbus Iff Adrian - I'll be attaching a new version either later today or tomorrow, with a CHANGELOG. I'll also be running a live version of it over on NHPR.org for people to play with. The three major things I'm worried about right now are a) doxygen, b) variable/function naming, c) GMT considerations. After those, I'll be exploring a patch for my own needs: the ability to get archives for particular term. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:53:34 +0000 : Morbus Iff Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/archive.module (9.93 KB) Here's the latest, with the following changelog: * reordered some routines to be a little more workflowish. * renamed archive_buildQuery to archive_build_query. * general whitespace and formatting cleanup. * HEADish update: returning $output, not page templating it. * removed the reference of &$ad in archive_build_query. * test for the existence of arg(#)'s before validating them. * archive_validSomething changed to archive_valid_something. * removed unused vars: cur_date, cur_date_end. * renamed archive_buildURL to archive_build_url. * removed the HTML whitespace from the theming. * twiddled a lot of quotes and apostraphes. * removed 'future' CSS class. ill-defined. * reordered/renamed the CSS classes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:54:08 +0000 : Morbus Iff Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/_p_29676_archive_css.patch (1.56 KB) And the drupal.css patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:56:29 +0000 : Morbus Iff This version of the module is currently running live at http://www.nhpr.org/archive/. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 19:59:57 +0000 : Tobias Maier if i click for example on 2003 it would be good if this would go to january or december and marks them that this one will be shown now as you can see it if you click on january 2003. it has to select * on the first: the first month of writing * on the last: the last month of writing * on every else: january I hope you can understand what I mean... greets tobias
