Insight meeting postponed
by Paul W. Frields 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Given my schedule at Red Hat's office in Westford today, which I'm visiting through tomorrow, I probably can't run today's Insight meeting. It's scheduled for 1800 UTC (2:00pm US Eastern). If someone is willing to take up that responsibility, that would be awesome. If not, no worries -- we'll postpone until next week. Given our rescheduling ideas from last week that might make sense anyway. -- Paul W.

Why Aggregator?
by Peter Borsa 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi! Why do you use Aggregator(core module) instead of Feeds? Feed is more powerful imho. Managing News, which is an aggregator engine, uses this module. Managing News: http://managingnews.com Feeds: http://drupal.org/project/feeds -- Peter Borsa

EtherPad FAD Thanks
by Colin Zwiebel 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

Hello all, Our Hackathon is over and out. Once I'm done yapping with fam in NH and enjoying delicious turkey, I get out a more proper recap. For now, I would like to say thanks to all of you. Solid, hard work from all of you is what got us so far this weekend. And speaking of which, we are 90% of the way to having etherpad packaged. A few quick accomplishments * Packaging of at least 5 dependencies * Update to a dependency to make it Java 1.6 compatible and src packageable * Conversion from a non-free JSON library to an apache license library * Removal of some unneeded java libraries * Discussion on communities and their upkeep * Talk of future applications of Etherpad (embeddable, engine for other purposes) * Knowledge sharing on git, packaging, and the Operational Transformation algorithm * More (lemme know what I've forgotten as I'd like to write it all up) Next steps are to get the application itself packaged and figure out a random build hurdle in c3p0. Take a break from Etherpad, though, y'all deserve a break. Safe travels to you all and we'll be in touch, Colin Olin College '12 E:computing

Fixed FWN beat titling
by Paul W. Frields 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

Pascal et al., I've fixed the function to get FWN beats a title based on their issue # and beat. The node will get a title like "FWN 250 - Introduction". What took me a while was figuring out that CCK content types have a different array structure than the standard content types. In regular Drupal content types, you can set a value with: $form_state['values']['field_name'] = "New stuff"; However, the structure of CCK field means that you have to do some fancier referencing: $form_state['values']['field_name'][0]['value'] = "New stuff"; When I tried this at first and found it worked, I was worried that type of referencing was somehow weird, but it turns out it was in fact correct. Note that this title setting doesn't retroactively change old beats -- it works during the form validation process (after initial entry and before the items are submitted to the database), so it will only apply to new content being created.

Fedora Insight: Creating a new View in Drupal for FWN issue
by Pascal Calarco 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

Hi folks -- I am reporting out to the list what I've learned to date regarding creating a new View with Drupal for Fedora Weekly News all in one page. Paul had created two fields using the Content Construction Kit (aka CCK)[1] module in Drupal for FWN issue and beat, and added these to the content creation form[2] . The default view for this was to associate each beat's Drupal node to a Book that constituted an FWN issue See FWN 239 as an early example[3]. What we needed to do next was create a new View that would display all of the nodes from a particular issue in a single page. Being someone who works in libraries, there are a lot of sites that use Drupal[4], and I knew of this active group, Drupal4Lib[4], a discussion list for libraries that use Drupal, so I joined and asked around. Several posters pointed me to "passing an argument via node id" to the view. That was a start, and I poked around a bit and created a new View, with the content_issue field that Paul created in the CCK passed to the view, and I set the path for the new View to use /fwn. Finally, I entered some sort criteria to display the issues in descending order, and applied a filter for the node type = weekly news beat. Now I can reference all of the beats associated with an issue easily -- ie. /fwn/247. I've marked up the latest FWN in just such a way[6]. [1] http://drupal.org/project/cck [2] http://publictest4.fedoraproject.org/drupal/node/add/fwnbeat [3] http://publictest4.fedoraproject.org/drupal/node/2 [4] http://groups.drupal.org/libraries/resources [5] http://drupalib.interoperating.info/node/88 [6] http://publictest4.fedoraproject.org/drupal/fwn/247 What remained was to display the title of each beat, since this was passed in the CCK as a hidden variable. So I edited the "Weekly news beat" content type, managing the fields, and turned the Beat Label from "Hidden" to "Above" in the "Display fields" tab. For some reason this didn't work at first, so I figured I still have to mess around with the View to make it visible. I can't actually see the title of each beat yet, so will still keep on working with this, but have made definite progress! I've also blogged about this at: http://pascalcalarco.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/drupal-6-and-fedora-insight-w… - pascal
