Copyright and Drupal 4.7 (CVS)?

Maybe I can simply use the existing module with 4.7? I'll post after I've tried.

Well, Copyright will essentially work to some level with 4.7, but the forms-api needs to be updated. Here are my efforts so far, but my code is broken and needs fixing (I am not a coder). I've used the forms updater module to hammer out the arrays for the forms API. I don't see how anyone would want to do anything like this mannualy-- there are a lot of forms with this module.

So I replaced the form calls with the arrays that are spat out by this cool module. Copyright still doesn't work, but I hope I at least I did the grunt work and someone can easily polish this off.

Here are some odd things with my changes:

First:

Drupal 4.6:
form(form_item(t('Delete copyright/license "%name"', array('%name' => $copyright->name)), $form, t('Are you sure you want to delete the copyright/license?')));

Drupal 4.7:
$output = drupal_get_form('copyright_delete', $form);

Obviously the suggested replacement doesn't get the job done. Any ideas? Please fix and add to this.

Second:

Drupal 4.6:
form_checkboxes(t('Node types allowing individual copyright selection'), 'nodes', explode(',', variable_get('copyright_nodetypes', '')), $nodetypes, t('Node types for which posters can choose their own copyright/license from the list of defined licenses.'));

Drupal 4.7:

$form['nodes'] = array(
  '#type' => 'checkboxes',
  '#title' => t('Node types allowing individual copyright selection'),
  '#default_value' => explode(',', variable_get('copyright_nodetypes', '')),
  '#options' => $nodetypes,
  '#description' => t('Node types for which posters can choose their own copyright/license from the list of defined licenses.'),
);

The output from my wonderful forms module tells me:
4.7 deals with the return values of checkboxes differently. 4.6 returned an array where the values were the checkbox keys. 4.7 returns an array where the key is the checkbox key and the value is the value (by default: checked = 1, unchecked = 0). You will need to adjust your form handler appropriately. You can use array_keys() on the checkbox array to get old-style values.

I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions?

The other issues are these fieldsets. They look simple enough, but are they right?

Drupal 4.6:
form_group(t('License'), $group);

Drupal 4.7:

$form[] = array(
  '#type' => 'fieldset',
  '#title' => t('License'),
);

Drupal 4.6:
form_group(t('Copyright'), $form);

Drupal 4.7:

$form[] = array(
  '#type' => 'fieldset',
  '#title' => t('Copyright'),
);

I've attached my work. I hope it helps update this module!

The update of this module has not been completed (including my patch above-- see my comments). The module hasn't been changed in CVS since Feb. of 2005 (way before 4.7 was a reality). I hope my efforts above help, but someone needs to finish the effort (I'm a little over my head). Thanks to anyone who can finish revising this module so it works with 4.7.

Can someone finish the work on this update? I can try, when I have time... but are there any takers?
