Relationships & site structuring

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

The focus of this group is very broad in one sense (relationships between nodes, and between other elements, in Drupal), and yet it is very specific in another sense (metadata, tagging, hierarchical structuring, etc). This group exists to discuss the future (and the current state) of these things in Drupal.

Tracking published date in Core

Have you ever wished core would track the date/time a node was published, instead of just when it was created and modified? Well, now is your chance! There is a patch in the issue queue, but it needs review and time is running out before feature freeze. Please get involved.

One taxonomy menu using 2 different vocabularies

My problem is I have two vocabularies for each node: topic and tag.
Topic is predefined but tags must be freely written by the user.

I would like to have a menu block that lists the topics and under each topic the tags related to the topic.

So if I have BlogEntry 1 which has topic_a, tag_a and tag_b, BlogEntry 2 that has topic_a, tag_b and tag_c and BlogEntry 3 that has topic_b, tag_a and tag_c, my menu block should look like below:

topic_a (goes to listing of posts under topic_a)
-tag_a (goes to listing of posts under topic_a and has tag_a)
-tag_b
-tag_c

topic_b
-tag_a

Workflow with relation concept

For sometime we have been working on a publication workflow system at the California Science Center in D6 and I've been considering how such a system might be implemented in D7. This lead me to the work being done on the Relation module, which lead me to the following conceptual model. I'd like some feedback on the appropriateness and feasibility of this approach.

Date field granularity always set to Year

I am using
cck-6.x-3.x-dev and date 6.x-2.x-dev to create new content type for my project.
However, I am facing issue with setting the granularity:-

1) If I select granularity other then Year i get error saying "Granularity must include a year."
2) If I select granularity as Year and Month I get error saying
"Granularity field has to have maximum 1 values."
Hence I am forced to set the granularity to "Year": this in turn sets the format as Year and only value that i get is year

Relation module storage concept proposal

This originates from a discussion between chx, sun, naught101, and dpi and bangpound.

Discussion topic: relation storage, relations-as-entities

Background: relations issue queue

Assumptions and requirements

Assumptions:

  • Relations are fundamentally uni-directional. Directionality can be added on top.
  • Relations are not editable. If you want to edit a relation, delete it, and re-create it.

Assumptions we discussed but have not shared yet (TBD)

Entity set domain based CCK field: naturally represents multi-component data or arbitrary n-ary relations between system entities

It is now for quite some time i'm using a bunch of modules i built for my projects.
I call the entire package N-Tuple.
The purpose of modules is to extend the drupal frameworking capabilties.
Modules were developed based on concepts of ER modeling.

N-Tuple modules provides cck field that developers can use in different ways:

  1. Build multi-column fields
  2. Per-column options
  3. Assign each column a list of available values
  4. Advanced management of available values
  5. As base cck field for your module. (just implement your application specific logic)

Juicing up Book module

A couple of stabs have been made in the past at rewriting Book module entirely, turning it into a general site hierarchy manager. I took a stab at making a small change that would make it a bit more useful in this patch. It just allows book.module to hide its navigation pagers, and render a book page's children as teasers rather than titles in a UL.

I'm curious to see how others are able to leverage book module, and what easy wins might be there for site organization on small to medium sized sites...

Cross vocabulary hierarchy

Hi all,

Is there a way to make vocabularies hierarchically dependent, so that their terms would inherit this hierarchy?

Example:

voc 1: Countries
  voc 2: Cities
    voc 3: Theaters

Now for tagging an event we first select Country, then City, then Theater.
I found no solution for this on D5, now I'm on D6.
Any ideas (patches are welcome too)?

And, of course, having this working together with http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select would be great.

p.s. Thing which is not an option - placing terms in one vocab.

Does Taxonomy Still Matters?

Hello there,
I´m working with Drupal some years now, and everytime I need to set some sort of classification, I think always in taxonomy. So I create some taxo vocabs and terms and everything goes smooth.

But recently I started to rethink my way of doing it, and started to play with CCK list fields.
You can work with them in a flexible manner, and it does have excellent Views support. You can show them in views and use them as filters, exposed or not.

So, overall, replacing Taxonomy terms for CCK text list fields are OK in my book.

Multisites and shared databases

Hi,

I am planning a multisite project where I want to be able to share users and some content between sites.

All sites will be more or less clones of each other, but they will have different target markets (countries mainly).

What I want to do is:

<

ul>

  • Use Drupal 6.x
  • Have one Drupal installation with many sites
  • Be able to quickly deploy a new site based on a master site
  • Multilingual support (using the Internationalization modules)
  • Share the user database between them

    Multisite Avatars still not usable! Who's going to make the great push?

    I'm going to bring the following issue under your attention

    http://drupal.org/node/132988

    Currently the directory where you can store userpictures is restricted to a map within the directory you've selected for your files
    (user_picture_path must reside within file_directory_path)

    However, if you're working on a multisite, with a shared database and shared tables for the usernames, seperate settings for file_directory_temp and file_directory_path it is NOT POSSIBLE to have a common pictures directory, thus severely limiting multisite possibilities.

    My request is to release the restriction for the user_picture_path, and make the variable in a similar way as done with the file_directory_path (sites/domain/files) and the file_directory_temp (sites/domain/tmp) variable so we can have for example sites/all/pictures (or something else) set for user_picture_path
    (user_picture_path side-to-side with file_directory_path)
