Agaric asked this question on IRC #drupal-dojo, eventually the answer came back: 80 characters.

Thanks add1sun!

IRC is a little like the real sea, and tossing bottles with messages into it...

agaric: coding standards: for long comments (/** *stuff here */) that wrap, we're supposed to hard wrap, right? At how many characters?
Michelle: coding standards?

Drupal 5 Form API (FAPI) does not allow submit buttons to have a description.

That's all I wanted to say.

Attaching a CSS file via your module is so simple it's not really documented, that Agaric could find with these searches:

drupal add style sheets to module
drupal add stylesheet modules
attach CSS

How to add CSS in Drupal 5

This example is from the book module:

    drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'book') .'/book.css');

So for your module "example_module," with "example_module_extra_style.css" in a folder css within your module directory, the code would look like this:

A visitor wrote:

Upload a file from home computer to remote server using SCP (through bash shell)

Ebony-697:~/Desktop/BrowserTemp ben$ scp -r module.tar.gz ben@server.example.org:/var/www/html/drupal-4.7.2/modules

IP address can also be used.

uploading to server

tar -zxvf files.tar.gz

Note to self: Don't forget again.

And to tar and zip a directory file 'files' in the first place:

tar -zcvf files.tgz files

And extra bonus, to move the files directory onto a server:

scp files.tgz ben@server.agariclabs.org:~

(Or: Cracking the case of the recalcitrant images directory)

The client came to me, late at night, distraught, and with numerous PNGs of the crime. He filled up my inbox with desperate messages, and the files attached at the bottom of this post:

• why???
• seriously! what the hell is going on here?? the site doesn't seem to be in touch with the server at all!?
• seriously why? disabled and reenabled the modules, deleted the images folder and remade it

  argh!

In Drupal 4.7, it seems the original creator of a custom block is the only one who can edit its content.

At least, the permissions options under block don't give access to the title and content– just the visibility settings.

Zen-based themes break rather badly (lose the navigation menu) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.00 and, if you look up what's wrong, have the following inscrutable error:

"Object doesn't support this property or method"

I hope this patch fixes it and is in Drupal 5.2.
