Over the last 3 days I have had 5 different people contact me regarding the patch found at http://drupal.org/node/14120.
The questions that I am getting are often the same. So I have decided to create this FAQ as a place to answer those questions and offer a forum to discuss the patch and its functionality.
1.Q: Does this patch work with Drupal 4.5x?
A: The patch was developed using the latest version of CVS at the time of writing. The patch has not been tested with 4.5x. But, there has not been too much activity in the book.module since the release of 4.5, so it wouldn't be too hard to apply the patch by hand if you know what you are doing.
2.Q: Does this patch work with Drupal 4.6 RC?
A: The patch was developed using the latest version of CVS at the time of writing. The latest version of the patch worked with Drupal CVS as of February 6 2005. Drupal went into a code freeze for new features on February 11th 2005. This does not mean however that this patch will apply cleanly today, as there may have been other minor modifications to help text or UI improvements since that date. Once again, if the patch does not apply cleanly, it should be very easy to apply by hand if you know what you are doing.
3.Q: I've applied the patch to my drupal site, but couldn't seem to get it working. What am I doing wrong?
