Please port to Drupal 7

I do have plans but first need to get the 6.x-2.x-dev version issues fixed.

sub.

Changed issue title for better clarity and added "port to d7" tag (following)

Depends on #1234828: Get views only support for the lists of annotations

From a D7 perspective annotations are entities. For ease of use we need dependency with entity module.

It could use some AHAH http://drupal.org/node/348475

We must not forget the print behaviour.

I've created a straight Drupal 7 port of this module:

https://github.com/yonas/annotate

It doesn't have any of clemens.tolboom's planned changes (views only support, D7 entities, etc).

@fizk: please provide a patch here based on 6.x-2.x-dev version :-)

@clemens.tolboom If you want to see what I've changed, put your 6.x-2.x-dev code in one directory and download my code into another directory and run the diff command:

diff -wBNru annotate-6.x-2.x-dev annotate-drupal-7

I just created a 7.x branch ... it's code is still a D6.

I'll try to check fizk code and create some issues before I push working code into git this week (the plan)

Today I abandoned the module and asked for a new Maintainer.

I think with the use of http://drupal.org/project/eck this project can be revived. Not sure as I have no time left for investigating it's functionality :(

Thanks for your work on this historically @clemens.tolboom hopefully we can get someone else to champion this moving forward.

Are there other modules accomplishing similar things? Any opportunity to merge projects is often useful.

Also, the only D7 module I could find that seemed somewhat related was - http://drupal.org/project/stickynote

Tnx ... you're the first to report back :-)

The project http://drupal.org/project/stickynote is _path_ based and does not seem to have views integration.

But I guess it's useful for some of the annotate users.

I personally feel a little sad to abandon this project but it's a money/time problem. I need so much more free time for http://drupal.org/project/graphapi to make that a stable release.

Maybe when sparkle get's into D8 I return to this project as that would probably make inline annotation possible.

graphapi looks pretty neat! I was looking at the WordPress options for this type of thing when I came to this project. So many options like http://digress.it that have been developed.

Finding the time & frankly resources to justify working on neat projects like this is hard. Unless you're in the top 10% of modules so often there just isn't the critical mass.

And ya, hopefully there will be more ways to at least help with the $$ issue as the Drupal community matures. There's got to be ways for folks to give (even small amounts) easily to developers with a good idea.

:-)

Maybe http://drupal.org/project/comment_on_anything is the way to go?

Or even http://drupal.org/project/field_comments

Just another note.

Another way to add comments is done on ie http://commentneelie.eu/speech.php?sp=SPEECH/13/430

I like the UI and the way to add comments. But finding the comments is a little harder.

Added the issue summary.
