Drupal 4.7.x

does anyone have excerpt running under 4.7b2? I have tried the patches and they don't seem to work. 4.7b2 is so cool that i'd like to move two beta sites over to it, but i can't do it until excerpt is working.

What is the accepted method of collecting a list of values from a textarea in hook_settings and recording the list of values as a serialised array in the variables table? Or is it better to just save them as an unserialised string, as block.module does, for example?

Hello,
I wanted to uprgrade existing 4.6 ecommerce module to the new forms API in 4.7.
I have used formupdater.module and documentation, but not all aspect of using new API is clear to me.

Please tell me how to put custom output to the $form array i.e in the store_settings function

all I want to return is the $form array as the documentation suggest but there is still need to add additional output like:

t('<h3>Store module dependencies</h3>');

and

Hi

How difficult would it be to assign a different language code to the original Drupal locale, maybe "en-drupal"
and have this to default to "en" by means of a switch, as long as no customization has been done.

The advantage would be, that the Drupal English text could be customized without resorting to some more specific language codes, like en-CR, en-US, en-...

See:

When I use Drupal with other languages, the relation between the language name and the code is quite clear:

French - fr
German - de
Spanish - es
etc.

Hello,

If you add a new user as an Admin you are not given the option to send them a welcome email.
I would think that this should be an option to select... "Send Welcome Message"

Thoughts?
