Mr. Taco, I love your module and think it's the coolest idea I've seen for relationship management so far.

Could you please estimate how high this is this on your to do list or other plans?

agreed

Your module looks very useful. I do hope that you are planning on upgrading it for 5.x

As a side note, I was thinking about learning how to develop for drupal, just so I could do what your module does (i think). Now, I suppose I don't have to. ?

Anyway, I haven't actually tried it out yet. I am running 5 RC1.

i'd welcome any assistance provided in this direction

Ahh. This module looks like what I've been needing for my 5.0 site...

I'll take a shot at updating it for 5.0.

Hmm, this is going to need major changes to work with Drupal 5...

I've been hacking on this for a couple hours, and have around 36kb of diffs, but there's still a lot more to go, and most of it applies to the 4.7 version too...

One of the major things I noticed is none of the database queries have the tables prefixed properly or are using arguments properly. This could use a LOT of cleanup... :-/

Also, there's a lot of unthemable stuff in there.... A lot of this stuff should be using #tree....

Anyway, I'm unassigning myself again, I don't think it's ready to start porting to Drupal 5 yet...

Yrs,

next week I'll start breaking out tasks based on what you say here and post patches as I get them done (for the 4.7.x-0.30 module). Hopefully that will make the job of upgrading the module to 5 a bit easier.when I'm done cleaning up the 4.7 module hopefully you will have the time to work on the upgrade.

if you can send me any work you've done already, I'd appreciate it.

Here's all the changes I made.

I fixed up most of the SQL, but I didn't get to the bottom of subform.module (pages and pages and pages...)

Another todo is to theme the fieldsets properly.

One big thing for 5.0 is the content-types-in-core feature. This totally breaks the subform install file, which tries to make its own content type....

any progress here? would be great to keep this module current. there is potential here.

paulap’s picture

my opinion: this module is a must for cck development!

We need a mechanism to create relationships between node-types (nodes) AND a ui to create and manage this.

thx in advance

great concept, creative solution. subscribing.

Subscribing with hope that it will be coming soon.

Same here. This looks like a winner module. I'd love to be able to deploy this on a language learning site.

maybe it is time now to asign this project to somebody else, since the original developers have no further interest?

let's wait a bit longer before we proceed likewise.

ericg’s picture

I've discussed this with Mr. Taco and am waiting for him to follow through and make me maintainer of the module.

If he takes no action on it in another week, I'll make the request myself.

as detailed above, update to 5 must wait till we fix some issues in the current module

excellent! :)

Subscribing - this looks like something I could really use too...

I've been trying to assemble something like this using a string of other modules (views, cck, relativity, nodeaccess, etc on D5.1) but I think it could be made much more efficient as a single module. Unfortunately I'm practically code-blind and the above comments have almost scared me off even thinking of volunteering to help out ;) However I'd be glad to contribute in any non-coding capacity that comes up. If I can make the tea or something ;?
... and +1s all round for everyone helping to bring this forward ;)

"Me too"
Happy to help with a little coding - but the tasks need to be broken down I guess.
Is there news on the ownership?

Cheers

Mark.

Hi

I'll skip apologizing for my absence.

If you want a shot at improving this module, post here with the name of your CVS account and I'll grant access.

I tried to grant access to ericG, but it said there was no such CVS account.

JohnG-1’s picture

Hey MrTaco! welcome back - we missed you :-)

abramo’s picture

what is a CVS account, if I may ask?

ericg’s picture

Mr. Taco, my cvs acct has not yet been approved. I assume it will be shortly (and will be attached to my ericg user acct)

Thanks.

Title: Update for 5.0 - is this project still alive? » Update for 5.0 - is this project still alive?

Abramo, CVS is a type of code repository. Drupal uses CVS to store code and track changes, etc (all the things that a revision control system/code repository is generally used for). A CVS acct in this context is a drupal account/user that has been granted access to put code into the repository.

abramo’s picture

@ericG : many thanks, much appreciated.

Looking forward to seeing a testable version

same here :)

It looks like ericG still isn't a developer on the project yet. Maybe we should ping MrTaco through his contact form?

johnalbin’s picture

From the looks of the CVS log (http://drupal.org/project/cvs/101261), it appears that David has started work on porting this to D5 on this project.

subscribing!

any news? any jobs for volunteers?

contrary to what JohnAlbin said in #33, i cant see 5.0 code in cvs, i must have got him wrong.
so bdragon's patch in #6 is the last 5.0 effort???

deekayen’s picture

sorry guys. I took over the project, but never put my email address in for receiving issues updates, so I never got these issue updates as reminders to actually do something. if someone wants to be co-maintainer, just ask. I should actually get the issue update now. just note there's a 4-7--2 branch MrTaco left behind before he left the project that formed a new direction from where 4-7 was going.

spjsche’s picture

Many thanks for taking over this project. May I ask what is the current progress ?

I have downloaded the 4-7--2 and it's looking quite impressive.

Thanking you in anticipation
Stephen

Version: 4.7.x-0.2 » 5.x-1.x-dev
Status: Postponed » Fixed

I branched 5.x based on 4.7-2.x, so you can now submit patches in separate issues against it.
