[support] Redirecting a deleted node

There's a node (page) that I deleted from my site. I have attempted to remove it from Google, but they keep scanning for it. They do this for about 3 hours before giving up and believe the node isn't there. The only real harm is a really huge log file and a lot of 404's generated.

I've tried a lot of the examples I found on Drupal.org, but none seem to really work. I have a feeling it's the address Google is using trying to get at. I'm not sure .htaccess can handle the '?q=' part of the line.

http://www.example.com/index.php?q=node/1234&gccid=5810652&gcp=18

The site is on latest 5.19 and uses clean urls. I have no idea where they got their address from but it is the correct node number that used to exist but it was never addressed that way, always with a clean url.

What I've tried in .htaccess:

RedirectPermanent index.php?q=node/1234 http://www.example.com/newpage

Also:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule index.php?q=node/1234 /newpage [R=301,L]

(yes, I positioned both BEFORE the clean rewrite rules)

But none have any effect on the redirect and all these get sent to the 404 page.

I'm out of ideas on this. Anyone else have ideas how to fix this? Is there a way (or module) that might let me redirect based on a node number? I haven't seen one yet that does that.

Thanks for your help,
Skip

I also have a need for a list of all the hooks (for SiteDoc module), but have never thought there was an easy way to get it. If you can do so, and help me get it in a format that I can use, you would get me off top-dead-center on my new feature.

I discovered this issue with a site was involved with, thinking
Drupal.org would have a working example I came over here to discover it
was not the case. No events anywhere even though the calendars are full.


The solution was to edit the the Calendar view, specifically the "ical"
calendar view and change the default date filter from last updated to
the actual CCK date field relevant to that content. This is from memory
but is where the solution lies.

Re: [development] Vim for Drupal request

A page on d.o summarizing this would be really great!
Also a blog post would get it in Google for future searches!

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.

Re: [development] Vim for Drupal request

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....

 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 generated?

Textmate [1] contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book that suits an add-on for a
text editor).

What reason do you have to remove this project? It is a Drupal project,
whether it has code in the repo or not, it is still a Drupal project.

The original logic was that it's something valuable to the community
that doesn't make sense hosting here but for which we might
theoretically want to collect issues/discussion on drupal.org
Drupal/Textmate users are more likely to find it if it's hosted in both
places.


I think this is a case where an externally hosted set of files makes
sense, but I know that it's not 100% clear and would love to have better
rules for people.

Projects without code in repository, and which have been created more
than one year ago, are probably going to be removed (see #533492: 609
projects lack releases [2]).


Also, it's not allowed to create a project that is then not hosted on
Drupal.org; even if I find the bundle useful, I am not sure we should
make an exception to the normal rules followed. If this is the case,
then most of the maintainers who had their projects unpublished /
removed because they didn't host the project on Drupal.org would want
their projects back on Drupal.org.

The Textmate bundle doesn't fall into any of the project types hosted
on Drupal.org. It's useful only to Mac users, while the projects hosted
on Drupal.org can be used on any platforms where Drupal can be installed
(which are all the platforms that can install PHP, and the PHP modules
Drupal requires).

See greggles comment above for the rationale for why it was created in
the first place, and why it should be left intact now.

also go and delete all documentation that explains how to create a dev

It's not what I was saying, also because I was talking of projects, not
documentation.


The rule that a project without any commits, and where the code is
hosted on an external site has not been invented from me; the same is
true for the kind of projects that can be hosted on Drupal.org (which
doesn't include any shell scripts, just to make an example).

The thread you link to doesn't lay down any hard and fast rules, but
rather a set of guidelines -- and recent guidelines at that, given that
the thread is less than 48 hours old at this point.


This project has an active maintainer, doesn't violate any licensing
issues, and is of use to people.

That was true also for the other projects that has been unpublished /
removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS.
What I have reported are issues that have the same topic as this one,
and where different people have given the same motivation for
unpublishing / removing a project. I am sure all those projects were
used by people who found them useful (and the projects had an active
maintainer too).

Do what you want, but IMO, this is a bit overzealous.


RE: "That was true also for the other projects that has been
unpublished / removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS."


No, it's not.


The other projects you pointed to in #5 all were trying to game the
system in some way (ie, spammy, off-site links for SEO, using numbers in
theme names to game the listing in the themes list). And in the case of
the "A Blueprint Theme" the maintainer chimed in and said that the
project should be unpublished.


From #262557: Unpublishing the 'A Blueprint Theme' - no theme available
to download [6]:


"I have stopped working on "A Blueprint" theme project, as another
Blueprint theme was already in the works:
http://drupal.org/project/blueprint [7]


Please let me know if i shall remove/delete the project page, or if
it's better if Drupal.org webmasters do it(?).

"
That is not the voice of an active maintainer.


Contrast that with what psynaptic says in #2. This is a completely
different case.


Setting to postponed, as unpublishing the project of an active
contributor should not be done lightly.

Hello people. We have global warming. Human rights violations. Please
turn your zeal there. This project is a record in a database. Maybe 3 or
4 records. Do those records bug you? Meditate on why that might be.

I noticed I had the same problem with Firefox, on Windows. It was not
exactly the same problem as your, but Firefox kept to show me a page

I didn't resolve the problem, and now I am using Mac most of the time.

Original issue:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 15:00 : vacilando

I've been committing modules to Drupal CVS for years now, always using
TortoiseCVS (if that matters), but since some time there's an issue I
cannot solve and need your assistance.


Basically, the dev version of my module does NOT contain 2 files,
namely
functions.inc
picasa.inc
See
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/brilliant_gallery-6.x-3.x-dev.tar.gz
[1]


If you look at
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[2] ... there are 6 files.
bgchecklist.js
brilliant_gallery.css
brilliant_gallery.info
brilliant_gallery.install
brilliant_gallery.module
image.php
README.txt
views.inc


The first problem that there are 'dead' files, which I am not sure what
it means. There are 6 of them. The missing files are among them, but
there are also other 'dead' files like bgchecklist.js which however are
in the dev package. So whatever 'dead' means it is probably not causing
this problem.


Yesterday I used TortoiseCVS to remove the two files from CVS, then
added them fresh, and committed. Today, after packaging, they are still
not there.


Please advise. Thanks.

It looks liek the files are in your DRUPAL-6--3 CVS branch just fine:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[3]. The WebCVS link you posted is for the module's HEAD branch. Those
files are considered 'dead' in the HEAD branch since they were either
removed from HEAD or added on a different branch and not on HEAD (the
latter is likely your case).


They're also in the development package as well. Keep in mind the
development builds are only re-packaged every 12 hours, so changes are
not immediate.

Sorry for posting the head CVS link rather than the concerned one(for
6.3).


However, while
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[4] indeed has the two missing files
functions.inc
picasa.inc
if you look at 6.x-3.x-dev they are not there. Yes, I did wait long
enough for the packaging - you can see the two files were (re-added) 25
hours ago now.

Folks, thanks for helping in this. It was a ... browser cache problem!


For days, Firefox 3.0.12 (on Vista 64b) kept giving me the same dev
file. Even now, minutes ago, when I downloaded the dev package, it
missed the two files. Seeing your screenshots I finally got the idea to
try it on IE, and there it got me a newever version. Then I cleared the
FFox cache and got the new file there as well.


Now, obviously I keep clearing the browser cache while developing and
whenever I suspect a stale page, etc., but I'd have never expected that
a .tar.gz file could be cached DESPITE the fact that the original had
changed on the server.


I realize that any module I've downloaded (recently) several times in
hope of getting the latest version might also have been stale.


Is there a way to have browser(s) recognize that the dev file (size and
date) changed? (Normally I would think of adjusting generated headers,
but these files seem to come from an FTP server directly, not through a
PHP script.)

Yeah I'm currently using it on one client's site and have been for
almost a year without any problem at all. One thing I would suggest is
using an alternative caching method like Memcache. We were getting some
replication lag, but once I moved Drupal's caching from database to
Memcache that cleared up.

[support] login with email and/or "hiding" user.name

Hi all,
I've to move users from a legacy system to D5.

In the legacy system the user name for login was the email.

Users will produce some public content.

In many places drupal uses the user.name to refer to users but I
can't of course use users' emails to refer to users.

I can't even force the users to change the way they login. So they
have to continue to be able to login with email, password.

One way would be to automatically fill name with something
auto-generated during import and change the login process (looking
for some clean idea that won't involve changing core, form_alter?).

Any other suggestion?

Re: [support] ssl + login best practice

I don't use the default login block but set a link to the login page in
the footer block:

<a href="https://www.example.com/drupal/user">Member Login</a>

This method doesn't prevent that a user can login via http either, but
in the normal case she/he will use the easiest way and that means to
click the link in the footer ;-)

content is delivered by http *until* the user logs on and from then on I
want all content to be via https.

Cheers
Geoff

Re: [development] Query about new page

 

That’s way Drupal has several layers of caching, the biggest advantage of a database is that’s easy to move your site or for heavy visited sites you can use several front-end web servers to serve page. Amongst many other benefits of using a database (multi-user, stable, easy to backup, …)

 

Regarding the speed, a good database running on a decent server is as fast as file I/O

Re: [support] Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 6.13

Update,

PHP is 4.4.9 and MySQL is 5.0.41 which is good news. Still poking around.

What took me longest so far was locating the password to the db. Found it in includes/conf.php. No settings.php back in the 4.5 days. I'm a newbie at three years :)

I'll keep you posted. Again, thanks for the help.

Victor is probably right, but I still urge you to exercise caution. There are so many fringe cases that could pop up, and you won't see many of them until they bring your export process to a grinding halt.

But, with 1200 nodes, you could probably contract with someone to do data entry for less than what it would cost to script around fringe cases.

[webmasters] [support] Two files missing from CVS, not finding way to add them

Issue status update for

Folks, thanks for helping in this. It was a ... browser cache problem!


For days, Firefox 3.0.12 (on Vista 64b) kept giving me the same dev
file. Even now, minutes ago, when I downloaded the dev package, it
missed the two files. Seeing your screenshots I finally got the idea to
try it on IE, and there it got me a newever version. Then I cleared the
FFox cache and got the new file there as well.


Now, obviously I keep clearing the browser cache while developing and
whenever I suspect a stale page, etc., but I'd have never expected that
a .tar.gz file could be cached DESPITE the fact that the original had
changed on the server.


I realize that any module I've downloaded (recently) several times in
hope of getting the latest version might also have been stale.


Is there a way to have browser(s) recognize that the dev file (size and
date) changed? (Normally I would think of adjusting generated headers,
but these files seem to come from an FTP server directly, not through a
PHP script.)

vacilando


Original issue:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 21:00 : vacilando

I've been committing modules to Drupal CVS for years now, always using
TortoiseCVS (if that matters), but since some time there's an issue I
cannot solve and need your assistance.


Basically, the dev version of my module does NOT contain 2 files,
namely
functions.inc
picasa.inc
See
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/brilliant_gallery-6.x-3.x-dev.tar.gz
[1]


If you look at
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[2] ... there are 6 files.
bgchecklist.js
brilliant_gallery.css
brilliant_gallery.info
brilliant_gallery.install
brilliant_gallery.module
image.php
README.txt
views.inc


The first problem that there are 'dead' files, which I am not sure what
it means. There are 6 of them. The missing files are among them, but
there are also other 'dead' files like bgchecklist.js which however are
in the dev package. So whatever 'dead' means it is probably not causing
this problem.


Yesterday I used TortoiseCVS to remove the two files from CVS, then
added them fresh, and committed. Today, after packaging, they are still
not there.


Please advise. Thanks.

It looks liek the files are in your DRUPAL-6--3 CVS branch just fine:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[3]. The WebCVS link you posted is for the module's HEAD branch. Those
files are considered 'dead' in the HEAD branch since they were either
removed from HEAD or added on a different branch and not on HEAD (the
latter is likely your case).


They're also in the development package as well. Keep in mind the
development builds are only re-packaged every 12 hours, so changes are
not immediate.

Thanks for the quick reaction, Dave.
Sorry for posting the head CVS link rather than the concerned one(for
6.3).


However, while
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/brilliant_g...
[4] indeed has the two missing files
functions.inc
picasa.inc
if you look at 6.x-3.x-dev they are not there. Yes, I did wait long
enough for the packaging - you can see the two files were (re-added) 25
hours ago now.

Textmate [1] contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book that suits an add-on for a
text editor).

The original logic was that it's something valuable to the community
that doesn't make sense hosting here but for which we might
theoretically want to collect issues/discussion on drupal.org
Drupal/Textmate users are more likely to find it if it's hosted in both
places.


I think this is a case where an externally hosted set of files makes
sense, but I know that it's not 100% clear and would love to have better
rules for people.

Projects without code in repository, and which have been created more
than one year ago, are probably going to be removed (see #533492: 609
projects lack releases [2]).


Also, it's not allowed to create a project that is then not hosted on
Drupal.org; even if I find the bundle useful, I am not sure we should
make an exception to the normal rules followed. If this is the case,
then most of the maintainers who had their projects unpublished /
removed because they didn't host the project on Drupal.org would want
their projects back on Drupal.org.

The Textmate bundle doesn't fall into any of the project types hosted
on Drupal.org. It's useful only to Mac users, while the projects hosted
on Drupal.org can be used on any platforms where Drupal can be installed
(which are all the platforms that can install PHP, and the PHP modules
Drupal requires).

See greggles comment above for the rationale for why it was created in
the first place, and why it should be left intact now.

also go and delete all documentation that explains how to create a dev

It's not what I was saying, also because I was talking of projects, not
documentation.


The rule that a project without any commits, and where the code is
hosted on an external site has not been invented from me; the same is
true for the kind of projects that can be hosted on Drupal.org (which
doesn't include any shell scripts, just to make an example).

The thread you link to doesn't lay down any hard and fast rules, but
rather a set of guidelines -- and recent guidelines at that, given that
the thread is less than 48 hours old at this point.

That was true also for the other projects that has been unpublished /
removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS.
What I have reported are issues that have the same topic as this one,
and where different people have given the same motivation for
unpublishing / removing a project. I am sure all those projects were
used by people who found them useful (and the projects had an active
maintainer too).

Do what you want, but IMO, this is a bit overzealous.


RE: "That was true also for the other projects that has been
unpublished / removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS."


No, it's not.


The other projects you pointed to in #5 all were trying to game the
system in some way (ie, spammy, off-site links for SEO, using numbers in
theme names to game the listing in the themes list). And in the case of
the "A Blueprint Theme" the maintainer chimed in and said that the
project should be unpublished.


From #262557: Unpublishing the 'A Blueprint Theme' - no theme available
to download [6]:


"I have stopped working on "A Blueprint" theme project, as another
Blueprint theme was already in the works:
http://drupal.org/project/blueprint [7]


Please let me know if i shall remove/delete the project page, or if
it's better if Drupal.org webmasters do it(?).

"
That is not the voice of an active maintainer.


Contrast that with what psynaptic says in #2. This is a completely
different case.


Setting to postponed, as unpublishing the project of an active
contributor should not be done lightly.

Hello people. We have global warming. Human rights violations. Please
turn your zeal there. This project is a record in a database. Maybe 3 or
4 records. Do those records bug you? Meditate on why that might be.
Meanwhile, folks browsing the available projects can learn about this

From what I can see, it seems somebody has manually added the
information that the packaging script normally add.


This is the content of the .info file as appears from the CVS

This is the content of the same file as found in the tarball archive
for version 5.x-1.5:


; $Id: cmf.info,v 1.2.2.4 2009/03/12 12:39:19 nunoveloso18 Exp $

The packaging script adds the correct information for the Drupal 5

Textmate [1] contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book that suits an add-on for a
text editor).

Moshe Witzman created this project, I am merely the current maintainer.
What reason do you have to remove this project? It is a Drupal project,
whether it has code in the repo or not, it is still a Drupal project.


I need to be able to deal with issues related to this project on d.o,
why do you need to remove it?

Projects without code in repository, and which have been created more
than one year ago, are probably going to be removed (see #533492: 609
projects lack releases [2]).


Also, it's not allowed to create a project that is then not hosted on
Drupal.org; even if I find the bundle useful, I am not sure we should
make an exception to the normal rules followed. If this is the case,
then most of the maintainers who had their projects unpublished /
removed because they didn't host the project on Drupal.org would want
their projects back on Drupal.org.

That was true also for the other projects that has been unpublished /
removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS.
What I have reported are issues that have the same topic as this one,
and where different people have given the same motivation for
unpublishing / removing a project. I am sure all those projects were
used by people who found them useful (and the projects had an active
maintainer too).

Do what you want, but IMO, this is a bit overzealous.


RE: "That was true also for the other projects that has been
unpublished / removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS."


No, it's not.


The other projects you pointed to in #5 all were trying to game the
system in some way (ie, spammy, off-site links for SEO, using numbers in
theme names to game the listing in the themes list). And in the case of
the "A Blueprint Theme" the maintainer chimed in and said that the
project should be unpublished.


From #262557: Unpublishing the 'A Blueprint Theme' - no theme available
to download [6]:


"I have stopped working on "A Blueprint" theme project, as another
Blueprint theme was already in the works:
http://drupal.org/project/blueprint [7]


Please let me know if i shall remove/delete the project page, or if
it's better if Drupal.org webmasters do it(?).

"
That is not the voice of an active maintainer.


Contrast that with what psynaptic says in #2. This is a completely
different case.


Setting to postponed, as unpublishing the project of an active
contributor should not be done lightly.

You gotta love people who crawl around dark corners of open source
projects trying to find minor rule violations and bring them to justice.
Hello people. We have global warming. Human rights violations. Please
turn your zeal there. This project is a record in a database. Maybe 3 or
4 records. Do those records bug you? Meditate on why that might be.
Meanwhile, folks browsing the available projects can learn about this
bundle and begin contributing real code for the benefit of all.

Hmm... I didn't know there was a maintainers' newsletter. What is it's intended audience? Since I have 20+ modules, it might be a good thing for me.
 
@Duncan:  I understand and appreciate your desire to see examples of unsafe code, but such a thing could seem embarassing to those who were reported for it. Even on security issues I find on my own modules, I would be embarrassed to have them publicly displayed. (Peter, I bet you can think of a recent example.) Perhaps an aggregate of recent issues, suitably disguised, would work.

That was true also for the other projects that has been unpublished /
removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS.
What I have reported are issues that have the same topic as this one,
and where different people have given the same motivation for
unpublishing / removing a project. I am sure all those projects were
used by people who found them useful (and the projects had an active
maintainer too).

Do what you want, but IMO, this is a bit overzealous.


RE: "That was true also for the other projects that has been
unpublished / removed because they didn't have code committed in CVS."


No, it's not.


The other projects you pointed to in #5 all were trying to game the
system in some way (ie, spammy, off-site links for SEO, using numbers in
theme names to game the listing in the themes list). And in the case of
the "A Blueprint Theme" the maintainer chimed in and said that the
project should be unpublished.


From #262557: Unpublishing the 'A Blueprint Theme' - no theme available
to download [6]:


"I have stopped working on "A Blueprint" theme project, as another
Blueprint theme was already in the works:
http://drupal.org/project/blueprint [7]


Please let me know if i shall remove/delete the project page, or if
it's better if Drupal.org webmasters do it(?).

"
That is not the voice of an active maintainer.


Contrast that with what psynaptic says in #2. This is a completely
different case.


Setting to postponed, as unpublishing the project of an active
contributor should not be done lightly.

Re: [support] Import data or create nodes from Excel

Hi. Take a look at the node_import module. We use it on a number of sites to do mass import of nodes for club and event listings. Still has some nuances to it but overall it gets the job done.

Blessings,

Textmate [3] contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book that suits an add-on for a
text editor).

The original logic was that it's something valuable to the community
that doesn't make sense hosting here but for which we might
theoretically want to collect issues/discussion on drupal.org
Drupal/Textmate users are more likely to find it if it's hosted in both
places.


I think this is a case where an externally hosted set of files makes
sense, but I know that it's not 100% clear and would love to have better
rules for people.

Projects without code in repository, and which have been created more
than one year ago, are probably going to be removed (see #533492: 609
projects lack releases [4]).


Also, it's not allowed to create a project that is then not hosted on
Drupal.org; even if I find the bundle useful, I am not sure we should
make an exception to the normal rules followed. If this is the case,
then most of the maintainers who had their projects unpublished /
removed because they didn't host the project on Drupal.org would want
their projects back on Drupal.org.

The Textmate bundle doesn't fall into any of the project types hosted
on Drupal.org. It's useful only to Mac users, while the projects hosted

Re: [documentation] [security] [Security issue] Writing secure code case studies...

Hi Duncan,

There is a "maintainers newsletter" which already exists and might be
a good place for this. That newsletter has not gotten much love or
content, so perhaps you can join in and help get it out more
regularly?
Here are past issues, and you shoudl be able to subscribe (or are
force-subscribed if you're a module maintainer)
http://drupal.org/forum/118

There is a group for newsletters here:

You might also get so volunteers at

See greggles comment above for the rationale for why it was created in
the first place, and why it should be left intact now.


RE: "It's useful only to Mac users" -- by that rationale, we should
also go and delete all documentation that explains how to create a dev

It appears that the DRUPAL-5--1-5 tag is on the DRUPAL-6--1 branch.


You'll need to create a DRUPAL-5--1-6 tag is on the correct branch and
make a new release. Once that's done, the problem release can be
unpublished.

Content Management Filter [2]. Both versions have the correct sticky
tags in my CVS.


The 5.x-1.5 release (http://drupal.org/node/525102 [3]) somehow has 6.x
code in it. I checked my commits and they specify DRUPAL-5. I do see
that the -dev release is rolling off HEAD, which I need to change (I
don't like using HEAD).


What have I done wrong, and what do I do to get it straightened out?

From what I can see, it seems you have manually added the information
that the packaging script normally add.


This is the content of the .info file as appears from the CVS
repository:


; $Id: cmf.info,v 1.2.2.3 2008/12/03 18:43:45 nunoveloso18 Exp $
name = "Content management filter"
description = "This module adds an easier way for administrators to
filter the content on a Drupal site for administration purposes."
package = "Administration"
core = 6.x
; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-10-17
version = "6.x-1.1"
core = "6.x"
project = "cmf"
datestamp = "1224252903"


; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-12-04
version = "6.x-1.x-dev"
core = "6.x"
project = "cmf"
datestamp = "1228348974"


This is the content of the same file as found in the tarball archive
for version 5.x-1.5:


; $Id: cmf.info,v 1.2.2.4 2009/03/12 12:39:19 nunoveloso18 Exp $
name = "Content management filter"
description = "This module adds an easier way for administrators to
filter the content on a Drupal site for administration purposes."
package = "Administration"
core = 6.x
; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-10-17
version = "6.x-1.1"
core = "6.x"
project = "cmf"
datestamp = "1224252903"


; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-12-04
version = "6.x-1.x-dev"
core = "6.x"
project = "cmf"
datestamp = "1228348974"


; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2009-07-20
version = "5.x-1.5"
project = "cmf"
datestamp = "1248099031"


The packaging script adds the correct information for the Drupal 5
branch.

Moshe Witzman created this project, I am merely the current maintainer.
What reason do you have to remove this project? It is a Drupal project,
whether it has code in the repo or not, it is still a Drupal project.


I need to be able to deal with issues related to this project on d.o,
why do you need to remove it?

Textmate [1] contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book which that suits an add-on
for a text editor).

Content Management Filter [1]. Both versions have the correct sticky
tags in my CVS.


The 5.x-1.5 release (http://drupal.org/node/525102 [2]) somehow has 6.x
code in it. I checked my commits and they specify DRUPAL-5. I do see
that the -dev release is rolling off HEAD, which I need to change (I
don't like using HEAD).


What have I done wrong, and what do I do to get it straightened out?

Re: [support] OT: color swatches for drupal

There's also the CCK colorpicker (http://drupal.org/project/colorpicker) although it has been in various states of brokenness since the 6.x release.  I'm not sure of its current status.

That is not only browser dependent (among other things), it would be difficult to do, unless I create a view for each product, and even then it may not be enough.

So I thought I could find a way to generate actual color pictures to use with the UC option images module.

However, I've not any idea how to generate those color pictures.

Making the images with PHP/GD wouldn't be complicated. Just look through and array of the colors you want, create the block then output it with the color's hex value as the filename. If not that then you would need some graphics program that has scripting in it, like newer versions of Paint Shop Pro.

Of course a better solution might be to use something like the Jquery Color Picker to have them select the color:

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 16:25 : Gábor Hojtsy

Looking at the project tables for sharing project data turned out to not
be enough. We also need information like whether a project or release it
actually published. Unpublished projects and releases should not be
sycned, since we have nothing to do with them. Also, when a release or
project is unpublished on drupal.org we should take appropriate action
on localize.drupal.org.


So here is a request to get read access to the node table for the
localize_ro DB user.

Should never promise that those were the last ;)


The project tables have no information on the project type, and we
should not syndicate the translation projects obviously. So we'd need
access to the taxonomy tables, or actually at least "term_data", so we
can join projects through this table to identify projects under
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/29 [1] which should not be handled by
the localization server.

The page you linked isn't a "personal issue tracker" -- it's the tracker
for everything on the site: forums, issues, etc. I agree it'd be nice
if there was an RSS feed for that, but that'd be a feature request for
core and/or Tracker2 [3].


If you want an RSS feed specifically of issues you posted or
participated on, visit the "My issues" page, e.g.:

That page provides a feed:

Re: [support] Import data or create nodes from Excel

The most likely starting point would be node_import:

http://www.drupal.org/project/node_import

It will not handle Excel files natively however--you will need to have
them available as CSV files.

If that is not possible for what ever reason, you may look into a tool
which converts between the formats (there are a few ways to do this in the
unix world, including one direct xls2csv program, although I do not know
what package it is a part of).

What is great about Drupal is that when you create a content type, even using CCK module and defining extra custom fields, everything is automagically persisted in the database and may be retrieved as nodes. You don't have to worry about that.

And, Drupal has a contributed module which is really practically part of Drupal itself (no-one develops any serious sites without using it and CCK): the Views module, which is a query generator so you don't have to use SQL to list your nodes. There is a powerful graphical interface which allows you to create your query on the fly and even shows you a preview of the list you will be getting.

The views module (http://drupal.org/project/views) also allows you to create as many displays of the view (Page/Block/RSS etc.) as you like.

That's why everyone is flocking to Drupal!

There is a powerful graphical interface which allows you to create your query on the fly and even shows you a preview of the list you will be getting.

The views module (http://drupal.org/project/views) also allows you to create as many displays of the view (Page/Block/RSS etc.) as you like.

That's why everyone is flocking to Drupal!

Where go the data once the form has been submitted?? The data submitted on a form is stored as a node or other kind of content or have I to create a table on the database and storing post values inside that table???

How can I create a view where I can show all the data that has been submitted???

Thanks in advance




Re: [development] After form submit

Automatic!

You can see that, because, when you go to Add content, then fill in the fields, and click Submit, you actually see the resulting node (the nid (node id) is in the URL too).

This is actually a page rendered by reading the new node from the database

Re: [development] After form submit

 
 
Frankly, I take this as an insult. Most of my sites do NOT use Views, and fewer use CCK. So you've just said that my sites are not serious.
 
Yes, CCK and Views are are great when they are needed (I have one site that is nothing but CCK/Views), but they simply are not always needed. If I only need one or two "custom" queries, I am not going to pay the overhead of Views. If I have more complex needs, yes, I will use it.

It looks like someone had added this story [1] about the new book
"Drupal 6 Content Administration" to the home page schedule, but not
created a webmaster issue for it. Since I think it is a story worthy of
home page promotion, I'm creating an issue now, and I've also edited the
post to add an image of the book and correct one minor typo. I am also
directly contacting the author of the post to make sure he has no
objection to this getting promoted at some point in the next couple of
weeks.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my previous post: I contacted bithead, the
author of the post (and the book) directly via email and asked if he was
okay with it being promoted to the home page. His reply was:


"
That's great news!
...
At this point there aren't any needed changes that come to mind, other
than the cover photo that you'll be putting in place. I'm very excited
about the book, because it seems that the non-developer types represent
a large percentage of the people coming to #drupal-support, completely
lost as to what to do with the new Drupal site they've acquired. I think
this will be a help for them.


"
The cover photo has been added, and IMO this post is ready for
promotion, pending review by another maintainer and placement on the
calendar.

Re: [support] Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 6.13

Yeah! Which version of MySql is running on the legacy site.
You might need to export the db contents in a newer version.
You can easily check that out, though, with a quick test (if you can easily move the existing site to a modern setup, you should be ok).

If you can't test the data you should find out what the host is running.

But the fact that you say there are no modules other than image (assuming no encoding problems on the filenames also) and only 1200 nodes leads me to believe it is relatively straightforward.

Textmate contains no code in CVS repository, but it is hosted on a
external site.
It's not even a Drupal module, nor a theme; there is no reason for it
to be listed between the projects. It would make more sense to put a
reference to it in a book (if there is a book which that suits an add-on
for a text editor).

[webmasters] [feature] Add a category for the modules that expose an API, but not a user interface

Is there another term that could be used, and which clearly identify all
those modules that don't expose a user interface, and that are only a
repository of functions for other modules?


I understand that API is too generic, and all modules exposes an API
through the hooks Drupal core code uses. Still, I think that it could be
useful to have a category for that kind of modules; in that way, normal
users would know that those modules are not of interest of them (if
another module doesn't instruct them to install one of those modules).
Differently, developer users could be interested in looking at those
modules, especially if they need to implement a functionality in their
module, and need to know if there is a module that could help them.


Maybe it would be a few used category, but there are some modules that
report a sentence like "don't install this module if another module
doesn't instruct you to do so".

Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 23:46 : sun

Searching for


http://drupal.org/search/node?keys=api+type:project_project&from=0 [1]


results in a quite great listing of projects that are APIs or helpers.
Since we want to let module developers rely on existing functionality
instead of implementing the same from scratch, it would be a very useful
resource.


Moreover, this hopefully could lead to more generic API modules for
Drupal and a sensitisation for reusability of certain
modules/functionality. It's frustrating to have a research result like
that for addressbooks [2].

FWIW, I don't think so. We still need hard-coded categories (next to
free-tagging), and the suggestion was to add "API" as a new static
category. Using free-tagging, you can further tag modules in the API
category into further sub-categories.

That is a good point.
I am actually pro this feature, even if I am worried that most people

need to be installed only if another module requires them; those are
perfect candidates for the category you are suggesting.

Re: [support] Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 6.13

Hello, Shai,

In the interests of protecting both you and your client from the
surprises that will likely be lurking within either the data, the
hosting config, or the content, I would be very clear that your initial
bid represents an estimate, but that the actual hours for the job can
only really be known when you start interacting with the data (aka,
doing the work).

In some cases, we treat upgrades from older versions more like data
migrations than upgrades. It depends on the job, and the amount of data,
but sometimes that can be a useful context for the work.

I would also ask what the client wants to gain from the upgrade. Do they
just want to preserve the existing functionality within an updated
codebase, or do they want to begin to leverage some of the architectural
improvements that are possible with D6 (like, for example, moving from
Image to Filefield/Imagefield/CCK)?

My .02.

Cheers,

Bill

[development] After form submit

Hello,

I'm new to Drupal, and after looking FAPI documentation there are some kind of things that are not clear to me.

Where go the data once the form has been submitted?? The data submitted on a form is stored as a node or other kind of content or have I to create a table on the database and storing post values inside that table???

How can I create a view where I can show all the data that has been submitted???

Thanks in advance

Searching for


http://drupal.org/search/node?keys=api+type:project_project&from=0 [1]


results in a quite great listing of projects that are APIs or helpers.
Since we want to let module developers rely on existing functionality
instead of implementing the same from scratch, it would be a very useful
resource.


Moreover, this hopefully could lead to more generic API modules for
Drupal and a sensitisation for reusability of certain
modules/functionality. It's frustrating to have a research result like
that for addressbooks [2].

FWIW, I don't think so. We still need hard-coded categories (next to
free-tagging), and the suggestion was to add "API" as a new static
category. Using free-tagging, you can further tag modules in the API
category into further sub-categories.

Re: [support] Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 6.13

Should be a piece of cake!

The only thing I would look for are possible dependencies on hosting weirdnesses in general and PHP 4 in particular, given the version throwback.

Make sure you preserve a copy of the original instal (the whole shebang not just Drupal).

What weirdness is in the .htaccess file? What weirdness is in the ./sites/default/settings.php file?

Prefixed db?

Even though it is five upgrades, this looks like it will be simple. Am I deluding myself? Are there any gotchas that I'm not seeing? Any advice, especially about what I may not be thinking of, would be most appreciated.

Looking at the project tables for sharing project data turned out to not
be enough. We also need information like whether a project or release it
actually published. Unpublished projects and releases should not be
sycned, since we have nothing to do with them. Also, when a release or
project is unpublished on drupal.org we should take appropriate action
on localize.drupal.org.


So here is a request to get read access to the node table for the
localize_ro DB user.

Should never promise that those were the last ;)


The project tables have no information on the project type, and we
should not syndicate the translation projects obviously. So we'd need
access to the taxonomy tables, or actually at least "term_data", so we
can join projects through this table to identify projects under
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/29 [1] which should not be handled by
the localization server.

Motivation message:
The most immediate motivation is to share a module (tentatively,
"Multiple Node Menu") that we have made to enable configuring multiple
menu assignments on a node page (i.e., without having to go to the menu
section to manually add links). This feature does not seem to exist in
any other module, and is still merely a proposal for Drupal 7 that does
not seem to have much support as a core capability. The module uses all
standard hooks, Ajax/AHAH, and would work very well with Hierarchical
Select if HS were to fix a few issues.

We also have a number of other practical modules that we have developed
in-house that could be contributed in the future.
