Screenshots?

By Anonymous (not verified) on

On the homepage, http://drupal.org/, there is a link under the introduction paragraph to screenshots, URL http://drupal.org/image. When I click on that, I am taken to a discussion page with no screenshots.

So: where are the screenshots?

Poor database usage for user data / profile module

By chaska@blogger.com on

In testing 4.2 today, I was using the user profile module. Then I decided to write my own custom user data module, and stop using the Drupal supplied profile module. That worked fine, but in testing it, I was examing the database. I noticed that all of the old data for the now-unused profile module is still in the "data" column of the "users" table.

So I spent some time thinking about this design, and why it makes it hard to get rid of data stored in a multi-element column like "data" in the "users" table. In a sense, it is serialized data, like that used by PHP sessions and by lots of other applications. The advantage to using this method for storing data is it makes it easy for the programmer to add new data fields because no database change is required. it also makes upgrading or installing patches a little bit easier, for the same reason.

node title-> <title>

How would that sound, to automagically set the page from the node title information? Is it a good idea, easy to do?

Extending "events" module, or creating new RSVP module?

By shane on

All - I would like to create an event "RSVP" module. Basically, when organizing events I'd like to be able to have people RSVP to them, saying they'll be there or not, and any other notes. This would be a natural extension to the existing modules (eg add an "rsvp" link to the event, which takes you to the RSVP form - or simply display the RSVP form below the event).

Has anyone considered this type of functionality, or addition?

I'd love to code it up, but I don't have the time right now, so if anyone would find this useful, and can do so, that would be excellent.
