Deprecated - Drupal core

HI!
I'm realy surprised how good drupal is, but only thing i don't like with drupal is look of the forums.
Will drupal in new versions make some upgrades with forums?

I'm in the process of creating a module that requires file upload fields.

Drupal is very easy when it comes to creating new modules, using it's fabulous API. However, when it comes to implementing a file upload field, it's close to impossible to integrate it easily.

What I'm suggesting is extending the upload.module to make it more of an API so that contrib authors can specify an "upload field." and only need to worry about the module specific stuff, instead of needed to deal with all the file uploading and saving processes.

The easiest way (that I see) to do this would be by adding a "filesource" field to the files table, which would indicate which "upload field" it belongs to. (example value for "filesource": modulename_fieldname)

I think we can accomplish this without changing default behaviour.

I know I know, I hate web 2.0. Buzzwords are tiring in the long run.

Anyways, we can't deny that technology improves. And so does we who make the Internet to.

After reading this article about the possible and future web 3.0, I started thinking where drupal might be maybe 3 years from now. Wich again reminded me about dries saying - there might be some technology that replazes php and even drupal in the future. Sure.. Well me being a pragmatic, I agree that this might happen. However, one thing I am already starting to see more and more, is cellular-phones and smartphones surfing the web. I don't have one of these my self.

Gagdets + Drupal
Gadgets like psp, ipod's and maybe the future gadget-killer from apple called (my)iPhone? Will all most likely have internet and webrowsers built into them. This is where I started thinking: how should drupal handle site presentation towards all these devices? Would this require special made themes? What about those surfing the web trough their 40" widescreen tv?

A possible solution could be having a 'presentation'-section under say 'site configuration' where it lets you specify the devices or platforms you would like to present your sites to.

Would it make drupal even more sexy to have this kind of feature in 6.0?

I am sure there are other people that could share some more information about this.

Hello,

I am in the process of writing a Drupal 5 module, I have been following the tutorial here: http://drupal.org/node/82920

The problem I am running into is the access restrictions. I have set the module up, it installs properly, the access controls show up properly, and I've left the access / admin checkboxes empty for both anon / authenticated users. Basically, the only ones that should see the module are people logged in as admin (currently only me)

Logged in as admin, if I go to http://dev.mysite.com/drupal/mymodule/ or to
http://dev.mysite.com/drupal/?q=mymodule it comes up correctly and displays the content I've set up in the module thus far.

If I log out completely, and goto http://dev.mysite.com/drupal/mymodule/ I get

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

which is correct, I dont want anyone accessing the module who is not authenticated.

However, if I go to http://dev.mysite.com/drupal/?q=mymodule - the module shows up with full access to the content.

My menu function, which I understand allows me to control access to the module, looks like this:

<?php
function emedia_menu() {

$items = array();

$items[] = array(
'path' => 'admin/settings/mymodule',
'title' => t('Mymodule settings'),
'description' => t('Manage general MyModule settings for your website.'),
'callback' => 'drupal_get_form',

I checked out HEAD/drupal, then I checked out HEAD/contributions/modules/simpletest into my modules folder.

Then I've activated the simpletest module, but when I try to run tests following problem appear:

Fatal error: Class 'form_token' not found in C:\projects\Ominor\drupal-cvs\modules\simpletest\drupal_unit_tests.php on line 82

What's wrong?

Thanks,

Just noticed that with search that there isn’t a weighted scheme to the search results in that h1 tags don’t appear higher up the pecking order in the search that is returned.

Is this the norm in that there is no differentiation in prioritising tags of importance

Is this at all possible – is there any information on the site that might point me towards a possible solution
could this be implemented
Later
