folks I know the post-install – howto questions go to the #-support channel but in the absence of an answer
the hunmonk core patch curse
http://drupal.org/files/issues/views_bulk_operations.png this is awesomeness
lol he’s got stuff into core before.
“I was looking at X, Y, and Z…. I noticed that X has a long issue queue, but it has some functionality I need… Y is kinda nice, but I’ll have to write some extra code to get it to do what I want, and Z hasn’t been around that long. Does anyone have any recommendations for which calendar module to use for a (does something) site..”
hunmonk == no patches for core until Drupal 8
dmitrig01, it works too if you’re adventuresome
cool
Yes, but the patch is written. Might only need someone to take time to re-roll it.
you the author
?
Or it could even be RTBC!
the drupal.org site offers no wa for ppl to submit modules with screenshots? or user reviews?
dmitrig01, comaintainer
You too can unlock the mysteries!
ah
are state and author exposed filters/
?
support?
screen shots yes. no user reviews
support is #drupal is reserved for development discussions (please see channel topic). Volunteers offering live support can be found in #drupal-support. If no one is available in #drupal-support, try the forums at http://drupal.org/forum). Thank you for giving us a space to work on improving Drupal for you!
dmitrig01, yes, normal views stuff
that is awesome
we will kick/ban you if you stay here
That would be useful for making editor panels
and don’t ask there
yes
Well, that’s a bit strong.
what?
http://penny.demobox.net:8080/drupal_vops/_bulk_operations (drupaldev / druplicon)
why will we kick ban?
(by panels I mean CP
CP’s
the_giver, go to support, i will answer your last question there
c-h-x would
lol
so
However, in general, it’s looked upon favourably if one makes effort to show that one values other peoples’ time as much as one’s own. That means doing research first before asking well-informed questions, and not being impatient.
smart questions?
oh that should be a trigger. ;P
did he ask more then once?
Druplicon, smart questions is http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Okay.
smart questions?
smart questions is http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
dmitrig01 you are an ass.. but w/e
to go from one question to kick ban threat…. even chx doesn’t do that. generally 2-3 warnings
Hmm, actually, I’ve found dmitrig01 is rarely an ass…
Ok, so name calling for example? Not likely to win points.
see and now people are reacting to threats. sigh
But there was a recent experience with an ubertroll….
heh
ah
A simple, “Oops. You’re right. I should’ve read the topic more carefully. Sorry!” would be fine.

The problem comes in when there’s a sense of entitlement coupled with an argumentative attitude.
Now .. why on EARTH would someone think it was a good idea to use negative values as IDs? Sigh.

where did you see that?
This data I’m munging for a client.
it’s part of the make webchick’s coding experience more interesting
Apparently!
Is interesting a euphamism for frustrating these days?
30 spam posts removed
woohoo!
“The problem comes in when there’s a sense of entitlement coupled with an argumentative attitude.” Amen to that sister …
I have another user
I ill point out that having the power means that nice warning is an easy option as after nice warning you can still whack the access
webchick, you have to see one client i had. she used AOL and only visiting her site by going to Google and then typing HER SITE’S DOMAIN NAME in Google
lol
I’ve seen that.
she had the site developed 2 years ago
never launched
well she couldn’t find it in Google, could she?
came to me for putting that SSL banner (Verisign verified or whatever)
then again never launched
nice to have money
heh
the 2 years ago was by someone else, whom i happen to know (Toronto)
they were very helpful and even offered me svn access
integration with subscription management service from some company
she would come and say “this is urgent and needs to be done” then disappear for 2 weeks
then come back and be naggy again
only to disappear again
….etc.
but she paid in the end
only to not launch the site!
……

lol
So webchick, -1 in the user id is, well, interesting
the theme looks nice
We might actually have to end up doing that.
yea it does
Because of that whole MySQL 4.1 problem.
creating user 2 initially.
“only visiting her site by going to Google and then typing HER SITE’S online domain registration NAME in Google” that btings up page ranking, right?
she does not know what ranking is
she just wants to get to her site
and does not know that she can type a url in the browser
but yet again, this is AOL she is using
although zoon_unit is back with his usual commentary in there
so, who knows what the interface looks like
It occurs to me that spending 15 minutes and showing her could alleviate a lot of stress on your end.
can I do something Crrraaaayyyzzzzyyy like:
heh
yes, you can
that is entirely doable
insert into db1.table (field1) select field2 from db2.table2 WHERE db1.table1.field1 LIKE db2.table2.field2
Most likely
Or do I have to pull the results into an array and do it with PHP like a lame-o
if your q is whether you can span databases, then in theory yes
I’m trying and it’s not working but I’m trying to figure out if it’s because I simply can’t do this or whether I just made a dumb mistake somewhere
I should probably go ask in #mysql
i know in other databases, this is possible
Yes, I know this as well.
What’s with the where clause?
Well.
you could work around it if the data is big
There’s this unique ID.
sorry NOT big
from this external system.
export the table
and import into the drupal db
I want to populate a CCK field to store this unique ID where the names of these things match in both.
and then do what you want
it’s about 70,000 records.
ah, so it is not a one time thing?
So not too tiny.
update (table1, table2) SET table1.something = table2.somethingelse WHERE table1.anotherthing = table2.yetanotherthing;…..
oh crap. it’s totally an update statement. hahahaha.
err
I see Dries blogged about the guy who doesn’t call back
I mean, update table1, table2…
Ignore the parens 
right. they’re in separate DBs though.
Maybe I should just throw them in the same DB.
It’s just that this is going to have to suck in all these records twice a day and I figured it best to siphon that off somewhere else.
So I could do that while Drupal happily served pages until I was ready to import specific things.
you could always write an xml rpc server 
lol I could.
hi
pastebin?
Pastebin.com is back! Please don’t paste code directly into IRC. Please use http://drupal.pastebin.co.uk/, http://www.pastebin.ca/ or http://pastebin.com
holy crap, that might’ve worked!
seen chx
chx was last seen in #nowpublic 4 hours 23 min ago saying ‘good nigh folks’.
webchick, see this http://drupal.pastebin.com/m9beee3a
works on php mysql web hosting 5.0 at least
(query is meaningless of course)
seen eaton
node_get_types(‘names’) will get you keyed by type with names as values’.
webchick, works fine, even aliasing the tables/dbs http://drupal.pastebin.com/m2318449f
Yep, I noticed.
Waiting the requisite 50 minutes for my update query to finish.
I think I froze MySQL. *lol*
run full processlist
and see what is it doing
Well. It was easier just to reboot mysql… I’m only working off localhost.
wow. KarenS worte way more then I expected for the CCK stuff
where
?
I’ll have to make it accessable in a short bit. brb
http://scratch.blkmtn.org/files/cck.html
cool
although I may have to replace the forms with screen shots
good idea!
cck is such an important part of drupal
so
is anyone actually reviewing JS code these days?
ahah.js contains a bunch of unnecessary eval() calls
how so?
eval(‘progress_element.’+ this.showEffect +’()’);
=
progress_element[this.showEffect]();
this is JS 101
well they’re not totally equivalent, since the latter form isn’t exploitable
yeah the latter looks much better to me
sorry i didn’t know something like that would work
well i’m rewriting the code anyway
it’s horribly inefficient
great
and unreadable to boot
yeah the eval calls made it hard to edit i admit
and that whole this.showEffect/hideEffect determination loop thing
you can optimize it with a hash table lookup to be much more compact
why the heck is that code changing the float property on buttons by the way?
and more important
why the hell isn’t there a single shred of code comments about that?
Hello folks. I know the post-install / howto questions go to the #-support channel , but , in the absence of an answer there, could someone here be willing to help me please ?
support and?
If someone doesn’t answer in #drupal-support it doesn’t mean you have license to be off topic in #drupal. Your next avenue for support is the Drupal forums (http://drupal.org/forum). Please respect the channel topic.
no one answered the question in the forum either
too bad
it’s a simple stupid question
which is most likely why nobody answered it
is there anything i can offer you in return to just looking at my question ?
I’d like to hang around here, if you don’t mind, to learn from what i read here.
i am also a software engineer.
audting is fine
as long as topic is respected
i respect the purpose of the channel,
but if i may , it should’ve been called drupal-dev or drupal-development not just ” drupal “
err no
development is what Drupal is about
don;t go there
you’ll probably also want to look at http://drupal.org/node/157752
Drupal, forms system, normal, patch (code needs work), 3 IRC mentions
if the code is of the same quality, then no
sigh, fine
ouch… burn
so
where is the documentation for #ahah_effect and such
Drupal, forms system, normal, closed, 3 IRC mentions
why isn’t it in the doxygen for form_expand_ahah()?
http://drupal.org/files/issues/forms_api_reference.html
but i don’t think that made it into the docs in cvs yet
and they’d change a bit if the second part were polished up
since it’d let you apply the #ahah properties to most form elements
Documentation, Misc, normal, active, 1 IRC mention
you should look at the handbook page
pm?
and it’s a php services page so I had to move it
litwol, ok
sepeck, ah cool – thanks
I just couldn’t find hte issue
good thing i bothered ya then
Icky.

I still need to figure out a hotel, too.
I know someone in Barcelona, but I haven’t talked to her in months and I don’t know if she’d be willing to house me. Baring that, hotel.

What’s another reliable international airline besides United and American?
Crell, most american airlines are fairly reliable
Delta’s generally fine, Southwestern, whatever, as long as it’s a major one
Yes, but how many fly to Europe? No one seems to fly direct from Chicago to Barcelona, which is odd.
uYes, but how many fly to Europe? No one seems to fly direct from Chicago to Barcelona, which is odd./u
United is offline on their own site.
really? I’d expect a layover in England or France if I were going to Barcelona
Yeah, most are.
course… that is spain… it’s technically closer…
What’s odd are the layovers in Milan…
hehe. What are you doing?
….Delta has their layovers in Atlanta.
noone does
(I was unable to fall back asleep )
$2000 round trip on Delta. Let’s not and say I didn’t…
Aw.
haha
my lesson’s on views theming
Oh, nice.
the cheapest way to cross the Atlantic is flyzoom.com
I need to send my coworkers to that.
well I’m focussing largely on table theming as almost no one does that
Hm, looks like they don’t touch spain.
I’ve got that portion of my lesson plans done already, so I’m setting up some fun node stuff
I wish I were going to be there, but I may be in Indiana, or else asleep.
true. but flights inside Europe is almost free.
They also don’t have a terminus in Chicago. I am so not up for 2 layovers.
Crell check round trip originating in Chicago and see if that’s cheaper than going the other way
then you can just buy a one way back or whatever
On delta you mean?
on anyone
my inlaws live in Indonesia, and it’s like… 3000 bucks to get from there to here
Ouch.
but it’s like.. 1300 to get from here to there
Weird.
even if I had to pay that twice it’d be cheaper than the originating ticket in Indo

eaton was last seen in #drupal 10 min 48 sec ago saying ‘Working with XML is just a *different world* when you cn say, screw it, PHP5. ‘.

Best I’ve found so far is American. $708 round trip through their site, after hidden fees and extortion.
Routing through Brussels going, and London on the way back.
O_o
the inlaws are Korean, but they live in Indo, so where we meet changes from one trip to the next depending
ahhh…
Well, I’m going to give United a little time to fix their web site. I’ll BBIAB.

wow, I am more glad then ever that I never tried Joomla
Whyzat?
I am reading their docs for the first time ever
I really like drupal admin concpet much better
hehe.
I was scared away by all the glitz. It looked very pretty, but also very one-trick-pony.
well, I have enough of the new structure of my docs down that I can go look and maybe steal stuff
I tried Joomla, and lived to tell a tale.

well, core docs
it’s actually not that bad nor is it really a one trick pony
I should really upgrade my server to Feisty, then move my server-side development over there.
it rocks, it rolls, it serves pages and has lots of magic pixie dust
there’s just nothing truly cutting edge about it.
Running Zend Studio and Apache and Firefox while testing Drupal all on the same desktop is kinda not fast.
bah, nothing copious amounts of RAM won’t fix
Plus KMail, which is non-small in memory usage.
Excuse me, the full Kontact.
I’ve got lots of swap left, but my 1.5 GB of RAM is nearly full.

I was wondering, what is the best way to get the newest nid after having done a node_save() to create a new node?
selecting it manually from the sequences table?
or is there a better practice?
node_save is called by reference
so $node-nid will be your nid.
ah lovely

you want to learn bout theming.
i’m actually themeing it now
but I’m having big problems solving it this way
if it had been divs i could just add another empty div at the end
this won’t work with the lu-attirbute because it is ended by drupal
lu’s have a nasty tendency to use all the horizontal space possible it seems to me
you can make the lis divs by theming the proper function
i’m not sure what you mean by that
you have a link for me?
