Issue Summary

Would be nice to be able to include fonts in features and this should also be useful for creating a unified set of font tags.

I agree, would be great if we could export font settings! *subscribing*

We probably have to use strings as identifiers in the database instead of serials (like Rules does). If we keep using numbers as ID's, it will be hard to keep track of fonts across multiple environments. We could use identifiers like: [provider]_[font_path]

eg: google_fonts_api_ubuntu_mono

I was thinking the URL field could work as a UUID across environments, since that's already specific to the provider-font combination.

My vague plan without looking at this much was to use Chaos Tools exportables functionality, just because that seems to be how most modules are handling exportables.

Hey Baris,

You mentioned in IRC that the Chaos Tools exports you did don't show up in Views. If you can post the code you have for the exports, I'd like to look for a solution to that problem.

Sure! See attached files. The plugins.zip should be extracted in the fontyourface_ui folder.

Posted a support request here as well: #1315086: How to combine Views and Ctools Exportables?

Status:active» fixed

Fixed and committed to 7.x-2.x-dev.

The solution was not to use ctools (as it has some limitation, see #1315086: How to combine Views and Ctools Exportables? but to use custom feature hooks, like described in http://treehouseagency.com/blog/thomas-wysocki/2010/10/28/making-your-mo...

Will there be a 6.x backport of this functionality?

We're not doing much more than maintenance on D6 at this point. That said, I'll add this to the long list of "to be ported" issues and if someone makes a patch, I'll review it.

Thanks. I'm in my final week of work on this project, so I probably won't be able to roll a patch myself, but if I have a few minutes I'll give it a whack.
