Listhandler for 6.x

Dear Stein,

There will be a Drupal 6 version of Listhandler, but not right now.

There has been a Drupal 6 release of Mailhandler so there are no blockers to the start of development.

However without at least a beta 2 or stable release of Listhandler for Drupal 5 I'd be getting ahead of myself if I started work on a Drupal 6 version.

Regards.

Hi and thanx for your swift reply :)
I fully understand the need to first be able to release a beta2 or a stable 5.x release first :)

But I feel that if more module maintainers could pls. post on the "module project front page" status of the upcoming D6 release and/or info if there is ever going to be one, we didn't had to fill up the issues lists with this Q and the module maintainers didn't have to answer the same q over and over again :) This is more of a general rant so don't take it personal ;) We have to remember that D6 have been out for some months now and with views2 and CCK almost there, many sites are going D6 soon.

Cheers!

I've started working on this.

What is in HEAD won't yet fully work with Drupal 6, but install and uninstall should be fine and the Admin page appears okay.

Don't send it any emails as I haven't updated that section yet.

I am still aiming to release a Drupal 6 version after a stable 5.x-1.0 release of Listhandler.

I've worked on the code so that it can send emails, but I doubt it can handle incoming emails too well.
In addition I've moved the mailing list prefix into a separate table as that was causing too many setup headaches under 4.7 and 5.x, but I haven't updated the code to match.

Thank you for the progress report!

Sending and receiving emails should be okay.

I've fixed the administration page and cleaned up the GUI.
Hopefully the use of radio icons will make it clear what the choices are (instead of the mis-match of types we had previously).

I've added an option to chose which HTML to text converter gets used. Fancy (is drupal_html_to_text) and is better for posts made in a WYSIWYG editor (like TinyMCE) and Standard (is decode_entities(strip_tags())) is better if you use plain text.

Your mileage will vary with these two options so test both to make sure you get the best one.

When the new tarball is generated:
* This can now be deployed on test sites and feedback will be appreciated.
* This can be deployed on live sites with the understanding that this is beta code.

Regards.

We use CVS as main deployment tool. When there will be a chance, will it be possible have a "6.x-1.x-dev" tag, instead of the generic "HEAD"?

Thanks!

When I'm happy with the feature set.

Hi philipnet,
So just to clarify – is HEAD ready to test for d6? I see the last snapshot was a few weeks ago (the same day as your last post). Or do you know it's in a place where that won't be helpful?
Cheers!

Hi Scott.

Yes, ListHandler is ready for testing with Drupal 6.
Please report any issues to this issue.

Hi philipnet

Sorry to bug you, but do you have any idea of a rough eta for stable? Are you thinking a few months, or much longer? I know you need critical feedback etc from testing phase and that these thing take time and community support. But I just need to know whether we will be able to include a stable ListHandler in a development project we are working on between now and mid-November, or whether we should reserve for a future development phase.

Thankyou for your work on this module

Hi Ippy,

I expect a stable release in the new few months.
I don't think there's too much left to do now; mostly testing and changes to the documentation.

Regards.

hello philipnet.

are you happy now with the feature set? if yes, is there a chance that you release a 6.x dev version? I will test from my end and report to you my findings.

thank you very much for a very nice module.

subscribing. I really want to have this module working on our site :)
thanks for the work done.

Also hoping to see this working soon for a site I'm building.

Is there anything that we can help with to get this into production?
