Developer releases -- release early, release often

chx — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 22:16:12 +0000

Proposal: the current core development cycle is releasing a stable (for example Drupal 5), opening up HEAD, hacking for N months and then releasing the next stable (Drupal 6) meanwhile 5.1, 5.2 etc gets released for bugfix. I propose that during the hacking period we do developer releases from time to time, maybe every two weeks, once there is something new that somewhat works. So there will be occassionally Drupal 6.x bugfix releases and more often Drupal 7.x unstable releases.

A few scenarios that might happen:

Someone grabs a contrib module and try to update it. Currently it seems like a waste and impossible because HEAD is always changing. It still will be a waste somewhat because surely Drupal 8 (stable) and Drupal 7.3 (developer release) will be different API wise but not all effort is wasted and if some API does not work out for you, here is the chance to voice your concerns. The next "multistep node form" problem maybe won't need three releases to make easy...
A consultant might want to do this because then she has a competitive edge -- honestly can tell her clients that she is already getting ready for Drupal 8. Currently noone can say that unless she is actually patching HEAD.

Hello, everybody. I`ve started to work with xml-rpc, just want to public results of desktop programm in auto mode. I have create an xml-rpc server:

<?php
include("xmlrpcutils/utils.php");

// Change these to match your configuration
$host = "site.ru";
$uri = "/xmlrpc.php";

$result = xu_rpc_http_concise(
    array(
        'method'    => "system.connect",
    'host'  => $host,
        'uri'  => $uri,
        'port'  => 80    
    )
);

$result = xu_rpc_http_concise(
    array(
        'method'    => 'system.listMethods',
    'host'  => $host,
        'uri'  => $uri,
        'port'  => 80    
    )
);

for ($i = 0; $i < count($result); $i++){
    echo $result[$i]."<br>";
}

$new_node = array(
     'type' => "story",
     'uid' => 1,
     'name' => "mcnet",
     'title' => 'TITLE ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time()),
     'body' => 'BODY ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time()),
);

$result = xu_rpc_http_concise(
    array(
        'method'    => 'node.save',
    'args'  => $new_node,
    'user' => 'admin', 
    'pass' => 'pass',
    'host'  => $host,
        'uri'  => $uri,
        'port'  => 80    
    )
);

for ($i = 0; $i < count($result); $i++){
    echo $result[$i]."<br>";
}
?>

And I have such problem: calling of system.listMethods is working as result I get such list:

How to control the item's in drop down filter while using views

rahulkamail — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:38:17 +0000

Hi,

When I have created a view, which basically filter's the node_type and display the nodes according to the node_type, I found that the drop down takes all the node_type. Though I have selected some specific node type. How can I limit this node type? Please help me.

Thanks
Rahul

Trouble with catching when using drupal as multiple sites with single code base.

Froggie — Sat, 02 May 2009 14:36:53 +0000

Hi, I am using Drupal 6.6 with a single code base and multiple databases for multiple sites (one main + other sub domains). While the sites are working well, I'm having some difficulties with drupal based caching.
Whenever, I clear the cache of any one site (any one sub domain) by using the drupal core performance page clear cache button, I find that the cache of all the sites are getting cleared.
My question is: Is it possible to clear the cache of just one site (sub domain) without disturbing the main site and the other sub domain sites (multi site)?
I shall be grateful if anyone steps forward to help.
Many thanks in advance,

PS: Thanks to Drupal developers for creating a wonderful CMS.

IE7 Drupal Flash Issues

dieterlich — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:49:22 +0000

Hello,

I am working on a Drupal based site, and I am developing a Nav/SubNav navigation for a separate custom "episode" page. Each page uses the same .php files to build the pages. I love the way this works.

Here's the problem. I have to tell the nav where it is in order for the correct tabs to show the page the user is on. I am doing this with Javascript switches and CSS styling that I input in the content area of the Drupal Admin. The rest of the nav pieces/CSS is on the PHP file because it is static.

Everything loads correctly - except in IE7. The Flash movie player (the main part of the site) stops loading completely in IE7.

Here is a small outline of the situation:

JavaScript/CSS inputted through Drupal executes in all browsers
BUT
Flash stops loading completely in IE7
WHEN
Either script or style is inputted through drupal

WHEN
IE7 loads without Javascript/CSS inputted through Drupal Flash loads completely

If anyone could give suggestions or help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Also this is my first post!

Trouble with login

andreas_dilaveris — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:24:44 +0000

Hi,

I'm a total drupal newbie. I think I removed the login block on my site (on my local server for testing). I've logged out and I can't figure out how to get back in to administrate the site. I tried http://mwsite.local/username but I got 'Not found' page. can anyone tell me how to get back the admin section? I 'm guessing I have to log in through the address bar somehow.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

how to HTML elements will scanned through wysiwyg and tinymce in drupal6

raajkhurana — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:26:47 +0000

Hi...

I am not sure, where should post my this query..!
I am using drupal6 and facing problem with WYSIWYG and tinymce. When I edit (actually add more image and content) my article and upload more image with content, I want to add new link as

'View large'.

I made the change as follows:

File: ibrwser.php
path sites\all\modules\wysiwyg\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins\ibrowser

replace line: args.desc = (formObj.pr_desc.value) ? (formObj.pr_desc.value): '';
with new line:
args.desc = (formObj.pr_desc.value) ? (formObj.pr_desc.value + 'View large') : '';

But this output in html format. How can I add a link at the end of content to view large the uploaded image.?

Please some reply ....

Thanks
Raaj

Attempting to re-run cron while it is already running.

drupallogic — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:31:45 +0000

"Attempting to re-run cron while it is already running."

I'm using aggregator for over 100 RSS feeds. I get above error many times for the cron job. I guess feeds cause it. what can I do ?

Logged in but not able to do anything

ndenhild — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 13:10:32 +0000

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and rather new with drupal so I hope I make myself clear and that someone can help.
I've setup a new drupal site and I've been adding modules and edithing themes etc.
Everything semes to be working just fine.
I logged out to see how non-users see the site, nice of course.
Then I try to log in, with the adminster account, and...nothing.
I am logged in so I can see in the topic "who's online" but I cannot go to the adminster menu, not even through a direct url.
Through a direct url I get "Acces Denied", "You are not authorized to access this page.".

Can anyone help me. At first everything seems to be working fine but now I cannot even administer my own site!
I've been searching through different forums but I haven't found the answer.
Only that I maybe have to change te setting of the PHP server from CGI to ISAPI.
But my site is hosted and I don't have rights to change this.

Hope to hear from anyone.

Thanks.

Niels

Feed seemed not work

atpaust — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:39:27 +0000

I am a user, trying to retrieve some feed information but the system seemed not being able to recognise the web address provided by the information supplier.

System Port: only port 80 is open
Application Drupal 6.9
Process: Administration, Feed Aggregator, add Feed
Source Address:
1. http://www.smh.com.au/rsschannels/ which has a list of items for subscribing
2 http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/rss/ENVIRONMENT.xml

Problem:

1. After enter the web address in the Aggregator and click Update Items, the Drupal 6.9 system feed back a message, "The URL http://feeds.smh.com.au/rssheadlines/top.xml is invalid. Please enter a fully-qualified URL, such as http://www.example.com/feed.xml" . However the address seemed to be no problem, as by just click an icon MyYahoo next to it, I can see it immediately inside my account with Yahoo.

2. I also tried several other Reed providers such as http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/rss/ENVIRONMENT.xml. But this time, after click Update Items, the Drupal system sent a message said "The feed from City of Sydney seems to be broken, because of error "-110 Connection timed out".

They may be related to whether there is a need to get a permision from information service provider, or whether a unique port number needs to be open, but so far there is no clear answer to be found at the Drupal website.

Something about core perfomance

drq — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:41:18 +0000

The function function_exists are called in Drupal very frequently. For example in url():

<?php
...
  if (function_exists('language_url_rewrite')) {
    language_url_rewrite($path, $options);
  }
...
  if (function_exists('custom_url_rewrite_outbound')) {
    // Modules may alter outbound links by reference.
    custom_url_rewrite_outbound($path, $options, $original_path);
  }
...
?>

And my little exploration on performance. Code:

<?php
function test_time_1() {
  if(function_exists("function_exists")) {
    // Nothing done.
  }
}

function test_time_2() {
  static $yes;
  if(!isset($yes)) $yes = function_exists("function_exists");
  if($yes) {
    // Nothing done.
  }
}

$time_start = microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++) {test_time_1();}
$time_1 = microtime(true) - $time_start;

$time_start = microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++) {test_time_2();}
$time_2 = microtime(true) - $time_start;

print "time 1: $time_1</br>";
print "time 2: $time_2</br>";
?>

Result:

time 1: 8.3456580638885
time 2: 4.6089758872986

Conclusion: Code with static variable faster then code with permanent calling of function_exists().

May somebody patch a Drupal core?
