Important Module Releases in Drupal

Drupal Database Cache That Respects HTTPS

greggles — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 20:07:02 +0000

The caching layer nor the database caching implementation respect https through the system. This is important because parts of Drupal (core included) generate absolute URLs. These URLs can be cached with a protocol of http:// and then embedded in a page (through nested caching) where the protocol should be https://.
This contains a Drupal database caching alternative that attempts to respect caching via https. The default Drupal database cache doesn't think about https (aside from the page cache). That means you could have html cached with absolute urls generated by Drupal using http in caches like the block or filter cache. This data can then bubble up into the https version of the page cache.
This cache is a small layer of logic on top of the current database cache. So, if changes happen there (non-API changes) they will be inherited in this as well.
How to use this cache
In your settings.php file include this cache backend:
<?php
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/database-cache-respecting-https/db.cache.inc';
?>
Then set the default caching class to the one included here.
<?php
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCacheResepectHTTPS';
?>
The cache includes a whitelist of cache bins (tables) that skip checking and

enforcing https. You can alter this list by adding a variable to your settings.php

file like:
<?php
$conf['database_cache_respecting_https_whitelist'] = array(
'cache_page',       // This table already respects https by containing the full url.
'cache_path',       // Caching of aliases for a page is relative.
'cache_menu',       // The internal paths we are concerned with are relative as stored here.
'cache_image',      // This one looks safe too.
'cache_bootstrap', // Shouldn't be html in this cache.
'cache_views',
'cache_views_data',
'cache',            // This one has been added to the whitelist.
);
?>
There is a core issue to deal with this at http://drupal.org/node/1377840. This

is considered an interim solution until Drupal core properly handles this.

Location CCK Migrate

greggles — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:06:54 +0000

Migrate module that transforms D6 location_cck fields into D7 geofields.
You will be able to use Geofieldwith Openlayersand do much more.
Make sure that you have the geoPHP library (required by Geofield for full functionality) installed. This migration will not do a lot without it. (see the Geofield page for documentation on that.)
Patches are welcome, this does cover our own migration so we wont develop it further.

Performance testing project

greggles — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:33:22 +0000

This project will track code used to add performance testing to our test infrastructure, both for individual developers and Drupal.org.

Stripe

greggles — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:35:37 +0000

Aiming at some stripe (https://stripe.com/) integration. Co-maintainers welcome to help out.
Currently just features a way to store your API keys and choose which to use and the start of a form for testing purposes. Still need to implement number 3 here: https://stripe.com/api
Not sure what direction to take this module just yet, so if you have ideas, please open an issue. So far I'm thinking it would be nice to be able to just add a property to an FAPI form array and have this module add in the necessary components to have Slide process the form. Perhaps specify a custom callback in order to do something with the response.
The obvious use would be integration as a payment method for Commerce.
Also available on github. https://github.com/sirkitree/stripe

Commerce userpoints

greggles — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 17:11:20 +0000

This module makes a bridge between Drupal Commerce module and Userpoints.
It allows users to create commerce line items with negative points value, behaving like a discount system. The user can choose how many points he wants to use, they will be automatically taken from his userpoints account.
It is not directly used as a payment method for the following reason:

- Depending on how your site will manage points, user will or will not always have the exact amount nor enough points to fully pay an order

- I don't want to overload the payment process by displaying an odd interface asking the user how he will pay (userpoints and CB ? CB only ? Userpoints only etc...)
To install

- Enable the module

- Enable the checkout pane in Store > Config > Checkout ...

- Create a taxonomy in userpoints vocabulary (Say "Credit" for instance)

- Go to Store > Config > Commerce userpoints settings

--> Setup the taxonomy point that will serve as "money"

--> Setup the price component that can be paid by the points (base_price is the standard product total)

--> Setup the decimal multiplicator. Points are handled as "Integer" while prices are most of the time "Decimals" (Even thought Drupal Commerce manages it with Integer to avoid calculation precision issues). The easiest way to handle it is to have a 100point = 1 currency value conversion rate. To keep this conversion rate, leave the field value to 1.
- Grant points to your user (either manually, through rules... whatever your workflow requires)
Test it !

- Add an item to cart

- Go to checkout

- Use points in the checkout pane and see the line item do its thing

Thank you for your work !

OG Classic

greggles — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:15:14 +0000

An less functional but more sane alternative to og_notifications module. Handles notification of new nodes and comments posted to groups. Also handles sending of group broadcast email.
This module is largely built form the notifications code that was in OG before the big switch to Notifications framework. I now regret that switch, and this module is a small penance.

A co-maintainer is needed for this module. Please volunteer if you understand og a bit.
Works best when job_queue module is also enabled - http://drupal.org/project/job_queue
There is currently no migration of subscriptions from og_notifications. Your mail templates do carry over, since they are still defined at admin/og/og

Contrib status

greggles — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:54:41 +0000

A module to hopefully help power a dashboard like this:

Leveraging as much as possible off of the fabulous http://drupal.org/project/upgrade_status.
Going to someday end up on http://drupalcontribstatus.com/.
