Render in Drupal 7 notes

Drupal 7 Render Arrays (and the new Render Example) by rfay

Using the theme function: drupal 7 theme() should always take an array, a string is not officially supported. See Handing theme() function an empty string or NULL as its second parameter triggers a fatal error.

Drupal Guilds, as a subset of Open Guilds, proposal

The idea of Drupal Guilds are being championed by Aaron Winborn. They have clear compatibility with Dan's Drupal work collectives idea and many of the principles that define Agaric Design Collective.

Repeated testing of core patches with CVS

catch telling chrisshattuck in IRC: I keep one checkout + db, reset the checkout with cvs -q diff | patch -p0 -R and usually re-use the database until it's completely dead.

Agile for Drupal core: within-major-version API additions as a key element to the Drupal Developer Experience (DX)

We (the Drupal community) cannot expect webchick to look even once at anything that isn't truly needed for D7's release at this point.

But i think we cannot tell exportables and other developer experience issues to go to hell for the next year or three either.

The Ultimate Notetaking Drupal Site

  1. Title must be optional.
  2. Saving must be automatic.
  3. Must allow multiple edit tabs to be open at once.
  4. Tagging and crossreferencing preferred.

For me, it should be the one place for everything. This implies, if done with one content type, possibly having an optional date field, a private textarea...

Background:

Ideally the tabs would be vertical, and somehow in the application, but really it can just use the browser's tabs.

Sadly, some brilliant text had to be jettisoned from the Definitive Guide. Some of it lives here.

Castaways from the writing process:

Of course we should have an API or three. We know Jeff Eaton would stick APIs in a novelty module called Eldorado Superfly. No, actually, he didn't. From this we can learn that if our module is simple enough and uses enough of Drupal's APIs, it doesn't need to create its own.

[Eaton] drawing on his experience with VotingAPI, which, we might note, puts API right in the name of the module, and if that doesn't mean something, what does?

Pushing our local repository to Gitorious


git checkout master
git remote add origin git@gitorious.org:remarkup/remarkup.git
git push origin master

This was for a module named "remarkup" as covered in http://definitivedrupal.org/node/90
