Although this module is actively maintained but there is no Drupal 7 version yet.I edited it and made it compatible with Drupal 7 but imagecache handling is still pending.Image cache is no longer a separate module now and its part of core Can you actually give some details on what was done for Imagecache in Drupal 6 version of this module and how I can change it to drupal 7.Its actually not an issue it is a question for help but was not knowing where to post it so that maintainer of this module read it or get notification about this.
Help is really needed
Thanks

Title: Drupal 7 version » Drupal 7 version of Block Icons
Version: 6.x-1.1 » 6.x-1.x-dev
Category: support » task
Status: Active » Postponed

I did start a D7 version a while ago, but I got stuck trying to figure out the new File API stuff. I have since lost the work I did on it and haven't bothered trying again.

If anyone can submit a patch I'll be happy to review it, otherwise I'm marking this as postponed.

Boy, what a shame. I would really like the D7 version of this :( Does anyone have a start on this?

I believe that bean.module is a much better approach for D7. It makes blocks behave like a true entity, fieldable and block types.. To replicate the functionality of this module, create a new bean type, add an image field, and then theme it all up!

Sounds interesting and thanks for mentioning it, but like most things drupal it is indecipherable. Just once I would love to find a module with pictures, examples, and an actual help file. Even reading the web page didn't give me a clue about what Beans is, what it does, or how you would use it. Not sure how you figured it out unless you wrote it, downloaded it and played with it or saw a youtube video. ;)

Sorry guys, I am no longer able to maintain this project. I'm therefore looking for a new maintainer to take over and do what's needed to port this module to D7. Let me know if you're interested.

In the meantime, I've created a D7 dev branch which is currently exactly the same as D6 dev. I'm happy to commit RTBC patches against this branch.

Additionally, Drupak sent me his port of the module for review which, unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to look at. I've attached it here in the hopes that it will help someone come up with a patch against the new D7 dev branch that I (or the new maintainer) can commit.

I'm marking this issue as 'needs work', as the quick glace I had over Drupak's code shows there are at least some whitespace issues that need addressing.

i am willing to be its new maintainer as i spent quite a lot of time redoing it in D7..this has been my first drupal code so surely spaces etc will be there..

Thanks Drupak. I've made you a maintainer of this project with full access. I'll let you update the homepage from 'Seeking new maintainer' to whatever you think is appropriate.

Regarding the spacing issue; I wasn't having a go at you, merely explaining why I was marking this as 'Needs work' instead of 'Needs review'. Just run the code through the Coder module and you should be right...

Hi BWPanda

We would like to be maintainer of this module as we have used it in past and view it as a great module for ourselves and others. We have used version 6 on some sites and also have made a version for D7, which is tried and tested as well in production mode. The changes made by us are not much and are enhancement of work done by you and drupak. Also the image cache issue is now resolved and the D7 version is upgradable from D6.

Please suggest how we can proceed further.

Regards
Nitin Goyal

Hi Nitin,

That's great, I'm all for someone showing the module some love :)
Unfortunately I don't use it anymore and so haven't looked at it in ages...

I've given you full access to the project since Drupak hasn't seemed to have made any commits or changes. As per #13 above, feel free to update the project page maintainer status and start committing.

Enjoy!
