Finally made the plunge and upgraded this and my anime blog to Drupal 7, skipping 6 in the process. It's been running Drupal 5 for way too long and an upgrade was long overdue.
Hopefully, I have some time to fix the now-broken [img_assist...] tags in the old entries. Too bad there was no upgrade path for that feature.
Instead of doing something sane last night1 I spent a few hours creating and submitting my first patch to a Drupal module. I attempted to follow the Drupal coding standards and taking advantage of the Drupal API, but I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere. Hopefully, a few other eyes review the patch and point out the problems with it.
I've complained in the past that the web-links package wasn't available yet in Drupal 5.1; well, as of February 16, 2007, a web-links module was released for Drupal 5.1. I have just replaced my hand-made version of the Blog Rolls with this one. One of my biggest annoyance about the latest version of Drupal has been relieved! Yay!
Well, it looks like some more ranting of Drupal is on its way! Truthfully, I really do like Drupal, especially with some of the great work done on the version 5 series. I just have a couple minor issues about how it works in a few matters when I was setting up a prototype site based off of Drupal 5.1.
Seems as though I've hit on a pretty rare issue with Drupal 4.7.6 on my anime weblog: basically, when logging in, the site would give no error but simply return me to the page I was on without logging in. This seems to be a fairly old issue and very difficult to replicate issue if topic on Drupal's forums means anything. There's also this entry in the bug tracking system that's related to this login problem. Fortunately, it seems I've resolved this issue on my install. Rather annoying if you can't login to put in posts and what not. Fortunately, I haven't hit on that issue on Drupal 5.1 on this site, but it seems others have hit it on the newer version.
