Too Bloggy?

Hello there,

Good place to look for explanation of what CVS Drupal is?

How does the CVS version differ from the 4.5.x versions? Is there a link I missed that explains things for newbies? (if not could someone please fill me in)

A good idea :-)

If you look at a lot of other OS blog and comunity software, you will see a common feature: The abillty to online edit the files the framework is built up around. (pebble.sf.net, angelinecms.org and many more).

It would be kind of cool if anyone had the time to build that module. Anyone up for the idea??

- And btw, thanks a million for a fine piece of community backbone.

Node relationships

It seems there is increasing need to associate nodes in various ways. The new Node Relativity module offers this capability along with other compelling features.

One of the most interesting uses for this would be to make comments real nodes. Currently, comments are limited by not allowing attached files which would be quite useful in the project.module and perhaps in other modules as well.

Adding images to nodes with HTML Area

I like the HTML Area module. I think it is a 'killer' feature in Drupal. Normal users want HTML formatting with WYSIWYG ease.

However, what gives with the image handling?

Heres a scenario using Drupal 4.5.2, image, image_asst, htmlarea:

1. Joe Bloggs creates a new node.
2. Pastes a bunch of text from an email.
3. Has an image on his PC that he'd like to include in the node and places the cursor precisely where he wants the picture to appear then clicks the 'image' toolbar button.
4. A weird looking pop-up window snaps out from the left with a bunch of fields. Joe clicks the 'browse' button to locate the image file on his PC then he aligns the image to the left (he wants text to flow around it) and assigns h.space 5.
5. He clicks 'OK' and the little window 'turns into' a truncated view of a freshly created image node screen - containing his image.
6. Puzzled, Joe closes the window and clicks the image button again, Spots the image in the category list and highlights it. he aligns the image to the left (he wants text to flow around it) and assigns h.space 5.
7. He clicks 'ok' and he's a happy puppy.

This is clearly not user friendly. This is what should happen:

1. Joe Bloggs creates a new node.
2. Pastes a bunch of text from an email.
3. Has an image on his PC that he'd like to include in the node and places the cursor precisely where he wants the picture to appear then clicks the 'image' toolbar button.

Shall I wait until 4.6 is released?

I'm finishing the new version of my site soon and I was wondering if I should rather wait for version 4.6 to relaunch or go with the current version? I'd like to use some of the features that were mentioned in different posts that will be offered for 4.6. Where can I look at a list of all the features in works for 4.6? When is it expected to be released? Thanks!
