Developer wanted for D5 backport

I am focusing my attention on the D6 & D7. Also since all my sites have been upgraded to D6 for quite some time now, I am afraid I would not put much effort in working on a D5 version to keep it maintained properly.

Other developers are welcome to backport the module though. Be mindful though that the module will be going through major revisions in the next versions.

Marking this as postponed so it will stay shown in the default issue queue list for others to see.

I considered to do this a few times already, but I'm not sure whether you want me. ;)

I second the need for this to be backported to D5. Unfortunately it's just not an option at this time for me to upgrade my site to D6, and I desperately need the functionality this module provides. I know there is the Filter by Content Type module, but it doesn't work with the WYSIWYG API module, and I've read that this module does the job in this situation.

No response means most likely 'no'.

Anyway.

Not included: CCK support. Implementing that requires a fairly complex helper function to recursively step through node forms, identifying CCK textarea fields (while taking fieldgroups into account), jumping to the next sibling (which should be the filter format widget), and applying better format's override function there. I have no interest (and no time) to work on that currently. If you don't need CCK support, this backport works flawlessly.

Thank you very much for your work. But I think this patch does not apply cleanly to the 6.x-1.0 version of the module.. I'll post you the output in terminal:

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance, Freddy

Of course it does not. It applies against CVS.

Also waiting for a D5 version...

Thanks !

@wwwoliondorcom: The maintainer of the module stated they aren't going to do it. Sun provided a patch in #5 above. You'll need to take it from there.

can someone upload the whole module for those of us not real savvy with cvs patching?

Here is the whole module.

I'm having some problems getting it to work just right. It seems to cause the "Input format" control widget on node submissions to show up twice on blog and storylink submission forms, but it works normally on the story, page and forum submission forms. Any ideas on how to fix the problem of two Input format drop downs?

Hi,

Any update ? Does it work now ?

Thanks.

6.x is now unsupported.
