Multilanguage in core?

OK, final question for all of us, who didn't found any answer or non-patch solution: Will multilanguage content support be in Drupal 4.7 core?
All rivals, Plone and others, has it already...

Thanks for all the fish!

Session Handling

Hello,
I have had a lot of trouble with Drupal in an environment where users may open many instances of the site on the one PC. In the sites/.../settings.php file:

change ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');

to

ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');

This change also causes unique entries in the drupal.sessions table for each browser instance.

When it is set to user, then all browsers use the same session cookie (and drupal.sessions table has a single entry), which can lead to some unexpected results, especially if there are different users logging into the different browsers, eg: for training purposes.

As I do not want my sessions to persist I have also altered the drupal/modules/users.module in the following manner:

// Destroy the current session:
 session_start(); // restore the session
  $_SESSION = array(); // clear the universal var
  if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
     setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
  } // clobber the cookie
  session_destroy(); // purge the session record
  module_invoke_all('user', 'logout', NULL, $user);

This code forces the session cookie to be destroyed as well as the drupal.sessions database entries, causing a unique session cookie to be created whenever a user logs out. This is possibly not necessary, but in my environment I would like to do this.

problem with rss feeds

I'm running drupal 4.6.4 and phpicalendar 2.2; rss feeds are almost working thru drupal, however for some reason druapl doesn't display multiple events that happen on the same day; ie 2 birthdays that occur on the 27th, drupal will only show 1 of them; while this likely is an issue with drupal, since firefox rss feeds show the events properly, I'm just hoping that someone has an idea as to how to fix.

Search by location

I like the improvements to search in 4.7 and the hooks for adding the ability to search items from different modules.

What I'd like to do is incorporate location into the search (instead of being a separate tab as it is at present using the location.module), allowing people to type their search text, choose which node types they'd like to search and then type in the name of a place (eg a city) they'd like to search near to. To simplify the input, the new AJAX autocomplete functionality could be used to suggest places based on the name you're typing in. The co-ordinates of this place could then be used to filter the nodes that were returned from the search and allow for the ordering of search results by distance if desired.

What I'd like to find out is what do people think of the idea of adding a hook that allows for form items to be added to the search? Perhaps a $op = 'field'? The data entered would then be available to hook_search to do its work.

Alter Form Drupal 4.65

What is the method for altering forms in Drupal 4.65?

I know this can be done in 4.7 by using the form_alter hook but how is it done in 4.65.

Any help would be much appreciated.
