Deprecated - Drupal core

Hi,

I'm (perhaps ;-) ) one of the hundreds students who offered their hands to work with Drupal on the Simpletest module. After submitting my application form, it is still 8 day until we find out who will be chosen to work under your supervision. Before 14th of June I was trying to investigate how Drupal and Simpletest function, but now everything seems to calm down.

What are the essential calls that are needed to be made to the database(MySQL) if you want to dynamically add content to the flexinode part of the database including just a title and content no other parameters.

I’m thinking of using some php script to fetch html from another web site and place it in a flexinode. The data should act as if the content was entered in by handed.

Any ideas of a starting point.

I am currently writing a module and couldn't figure out why a certain thing didn't work. After half an hour of searching, I discovered that a variable was wrongly spelled. I thought: "What's that? I always have error_reporting set to E_ALL." So I looked how I could set it to E_ALL in Drupal. I tried different things until I discovered the following line in the error_handler() function in common.inc:

if ($errno & (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE)) {

I changed it to:

if ($errno & (E_ALL)) {

Hey, apologies if this is already being discussed elsewhere. I spent some time wading through searches, and couldn't find any current discussions on this topic.

Basically, I'm a little stuck... I'd like to use Drupal for a website I maintain, and it does _almost_ everything I need...

Except that the forums don't have some crucial features that I need in a forum.

I need to have some forum areas private, and some public. I need some of the private forums to be available to some users, but not other users of _different_ private forums (in other words, having all private forums be accessible to the same group of people doesn't do it).

I need to be able to assign moderators who can move threads, delete or edit posts, etc, _without_ allowing the moderators access to actually administer or change the forums themselves.

I need to be able, myself, to quickly and easily moderate forum posts and threads.

Not all of my users can use things like HTMLArea, or other WYSIWYG editors, so ideally, they should be able to use BBCode, which they are already used to. There's a BBCode input module, but it doesn't look like it's been upgraded in some time, doesn't seem to work with 4.6, and can't handle things like embedded quoting of previous topics.

I'm willing to do without fancy and pretty stuff, if I could get decent access/privacy controls, and could have moderators.

I've found a few references to various hacks (mostly for older versions of Drupal), that add a couple of features... but in the form of workarounds that really don't do what I really need.

Hi,
I am wondering if there's any automated tests for drupal. I already read this post(http://drupal.org/node/6055).

Is there any nightly "build" of drupal that'll catch any syntax error and run unit/regression/integraion tests?

I know Drupal relies on the community to test a lot of things. But it'd be nice to have some sorts of automated tests.

BTW, see http://drupal.org/node/24539 for an intersting event on open source software testing.

I've found that posting remotely through the blogger API causes XML tags to be converted into entities. The posts go through, but the titles look like "<title>My Title" and so forth. My fix is to comment out line 233 in includes/xmlrpcs.php. Surrounding code looks like this:
