Hi there,

I really like this module - it allows power users to perform various search & replace tasks, and even design their own short-hand markup language, without having to code their filters from scratch.

I've used the 6.x version for my former employer's website before and would now like to use it for my personal website. However, as soon as I installed the official 7.x-1.0 version (which was released more than a year ago), I got an error message (see the issue #1034556: Undefined variable: itens in customfilter_filter_info()).

Apparently the development continued for about six months after the initial 7.x-1.0 release, but a number of patches have not been rolled up into a subsequent release. I really hate running things of a devepment branch, though.

Do you guys still have the time to maintain this module? Are you looking for co-maintainers?

Was checking for this module, but doesn't seem like it, even the latest patches are not committed to dev unfortunately.

Sure seems like it - It's been a more than two months and still no reply. Maybe I should get in touch with the maintainer directly?

The Custom Filter module is definitely no longer actively maintained. I tried contacting the maintainer a couple of weeks ago and received no response.

The most recent stable release has a number of issues and pending patches, rendering the module unusable.

Hello webmasters, did anyone get a chance to look into this?

Effectively the development snapshot has been fixed.

function customfilter_filter_info() {
  $filters = _customfilter_get_filters();
  
  $itens = array();
  foreach ($filters as $filter) {
    $itens[$filter['type']] = array(
      'title' => t($filter['name']), 
      'description' => t($filter['description']), 
      'process callback' => '_customfilter_filter_process', 
      'settings callback' => '_customfilter_filter_settings', 
      'default settings' => array(
        'allowed_html' => '', 
        'filter_html_help' => 1, 
        'filter_html_nofollow' => 0,
      ), 
    'tips callback' => '_customfilter_filter_tips',
    );  
  }
  return $itens;
}

PHP doesn't expect variable names to be English words, so nothing forbid you to use $itens as variable name. :)

Is there anything else left to do here?

@cweagans Yes there is, to mark this project as unsupported :-)

I appreciate that @kiamlaluno submitted the patch here, but this patch should have made it to a stable release long time ago.You can't expect people to use development snapshots on their production sites while not rolling up a stable release for more than a year.

@Kiamlaluno/Alberto, why do you have two separate Drupal.org accounts? You've started the project as kiam, and now you're posting in the issue queue as kiamlaluno?

This issue is a little complicated. The project qualified (according to http://drupal.org/node/251466) as abandoned back in May 2012, after no maintainers replied to the issue in 2 weeks. But then a maintainer replied after that, so it wasn't abandoned. But then no one touched in for a year, so now it's apparently abandoned again. Let's go through the 2 week wait again to be sure. If no one replies after 2 weeks, make sure you use the "Project ownership" component this time, so it gets seen.

FWIW, this happens all the time. If I worked with the restriction of never using a -dev release, I'd never get any sites done. Ever.
