Deprecated - Drupal core

I am planning to patch the search.module to allow restriction of searches to sets of specific taxonomies.

Taxonomy limited searches would be available via a URL like:

1) http://my.site.com/search/node/taxonomy/term/1+5+6/my+search+text
2) http://my.site.com/search/node/taxonomy/term/1,5,6/my+search+text

(I tried to submit this as an issue -- feature request -- but now seem not to have the ability to post new issues.)

In doing the 4.6.3 update, I lost a little hack I did on the comments.module so that the "author" information is added to the recent comments block. I always felt that the block was rather mysterious about the recent comments, what with not saying who actually made the comments. Anyway, I went ahead and re-did the little hack on the comments module from the 4.6.3 tarball. Here are the particulars:

Starting at line 170, remove:

      $items[] = l($comment->subject, 'node/'. $comment->nid, NULL, NULL, 'comment-'. $comment->cid) .'<br />'. t('%time ago', array('%time' => format_interval(time() - $comment->timestamp)));

and replace it with this:

// added hack to add commenter's name to the 'recent comments' block
      $result2 = db_query('SELECT name FROM {comments} WHERE cid='.$comment->cid);
$comment_user = db_fetch_object($result2);

$items[] = l($comment->subject . '', 'node/'. $comment->nid, NULL, NULL, 'comment-'. $comment->cid) .' by '. $comment_user->name . '<br />'. t('%time ago', array('%time' => format_interval(time() - $comment->timestamp)));

This will add the commenter's name as entered in the comment into the "recent comments" block.

I hope this can be incorporated into the core distribution. It seems rather unhelpful to leave out this information in the recent comments module. I'd submit this as a custom block, but I'm not adept enough at the Drupal code to manage that. For fellow php-challenged site admins, I've uploaded the patched comment.module for 4.6.3 here. Caveat emptor.

Hi,

I made quick&dirty changes on some files to allow node-role access. I'm new around, and I did all on the last stable version of Drupal. Let me know what you think about them. I don't know how to post it here, so I'll put it on my web page.

I'd like to have some feedback. All negative feedback wil be > /dev/null :D

iZelp.

Guys,

could you please add ID and NAME to the hidden values in forms?
Since no IDs exist now - it's impossible to change them from JavaScript by name (or ID).

It's the
function form_hidden($name, $value)
in common.inc

--------
I put it like this as a quick fix:

function form_hidden($name, $value) {
  return '<input type="hidden" id="edit-' . $name . '" name="edit['. $name .']" value="'. check_plain($value) ."\" />\n";
}

--------

It is:

118 = MENU_CUSTOM_ITEM | MENU_MODIFIED_BY_ADMIN
= MENU_VISIBLE_IN_TREE | MENU_VISIBLE_IN_BREADCRUMB | MENU_CREATED_BY_ADMIN | MENU_MODIFIABLE_BY_ADMIN | MENU_MODIFIED_BY_ADMIN

and

116 = MENU_VISIBLE_IN_BREADCRUMB | MENU_CREATED_BY_ADMIN | MENU_MODIFIABLE_BY_ADMIN | MENU_MODIFIED_BY_ADMIN

There is no way to get a custom menu entry of type 116 without injecting by module or database hacking.

I made a little example of what nice things you could achive with 116:
