Drupal Development

Agaric wants awesome project managing tools of, by, and for Drupal, ideally incorporating Getting Things Done principles.

[Old notes]

Project Management Module - a huge, long, immortal thread documenting many people's search for one:

The one Drupal uses -- tied to CVS?

Step 1: Find a function that does some or most of what you want.
Step 2: Find another function that does the rest of what you want.
Step 3: Mash them together.

The situation this time: we have a Drupal 5 site (World Social Forum 2008) with i18n (internationalization module) and need translated content to show up in panels.

Update: Go straight to the patch.

Yesterday I demo'd a bare Drupal install, because it was the only one I felt like messing around in, and the potential client was really pushing for a demo to show him the back-end. Drupal doesn't really have a backend, most all of what you want to do . Not having his full requirements, let alone a site built to them, I showed off the parts of Drupal we use to actually build sites– you enable a module and get new functionality, here's how you create a new content type in CCK, etc.

Hell this would have helped:

Add 'insert/update post' op to hook_nodeapi

Why couldn't it have gone in two years ago!? JVanDyk should have forked Drupal ;-)

His book would have been "Introduction to Vrupal 1"

Oh... needless panic. For my simple needs this wasn't a problem.

Particularly un-clever code:

0 stedile:/var/www/d53/sites/all/modules# php drush/drush.php -l http://dev.wsf2008.net pm install taxonomy_redirect

Resolution

Taxonomy will automatically add something to each node that is associated with it. There's no way out of it.

See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/taxonomy_form_alter/5

Now that Agaric has optimized this post for search engines, we have no answers for you. Sorry!

Curious empty phantom node (dated 0 unix time) has appeared in the node display

Also no answer

Even in GNU-Linux, don't believe everything you read.

Views calls to clear its own cache a little more often than it needs to
Every time you visit the modules page, rather than just when you save it (which is also too often theoretically, but possibly)

Seems this could be made more precise.
