General discussion

I am a part-time programmer and Drupal user. Unfortunately, I lack both the time and intimate familiarity with Drupal and its modules to modify and improve the code. Instead, I've got a wish list in my head of dozens of different features and improvements I'd like to see made to the various modules. I contribute what I can, but as a part-time programmer who lacks a deep familiarity with Drupal's many modules, I'm often left with a sense of frustration waiting for other developers to eventually get around to scratching an itch that happens to be mine, too.

For example, I would definitely love to see a recurring event feature built into the event module. Right now, there's a patch for it but the module maintainer, Killes, wants a better technical implementation of that feature. Now, if I were rich, I could flip the Killes several hundred bills (or whatever his asking price is) to get the job done. Unfortunately, I'm not.

There are, I'm sure, dozens and dozens of other people out there who've got precisely the same itch as me. So what if we all chipped in 20 dollars/euros/pesos/yen to make it happen?

So, I'm wondering if anyone out there is aware of efforts in the open source world to devise an online marketplace where large groups of software "consumers" could pool their purchasing power to fund the work of independent software "producers?" If such a system has not been tried or does not already exist, I'd be surprised.

I just got hit with a new kind of comment spam I haven't seen before at two different sites. Each spam consists entirely of a string of hex digits for the author, subject, and comment body. The URL is also in hex and it points to an online poker site. I saw several variants and each one occurred in pairs, with both comments coming from a different IP address.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've noticed when using submission queue with a defined node in flexinode(both 4.5.0), the "Type" column is empty on the submission queue page. For story, page, and even image nodes...the column has the name of the correct respective node types for each submission in the queue. However, if I define a node type using flexinode, this column is left blank, although the submission itself is listed. Does ANYONE know how to make the flexinode "Type" name appear in the appropriate column?

thanks,

I blogged a bit about it here: http://digitalsqueeze.com/drupal/Yahoo360

From their splash page: http://360.yahoo.com/reg/whatis.html

Already have a Yahoo! ID? That's all you need.

Adding stuff is easy. All you need to know is point and click. If you already have stuff on Yahoo! that you want to share -- photo a lbums, groups, a LAUNCHcast station, Yahoo! Local reviews -- you can add them to your page in a few simple clicks.

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. The data in Drupals database will not recover. something in the data itself stops myphpadmin, mySQL administrator and command line from running the SQL file. I have tried to seperate it out by doing a structure and data backfile. The structure runs fine but the data recovery file stops mid way. I have tried other dbs of about the same size 1.5mb and they run. Granted the data is simplier but they run. So the file size is not the problem.
