Spam: The other white meat

Media Mover 2.x has been slowly creeping along for the last bunch of months and is starting to approach an alpha state. One of the cool things about Media Mover 2 is that the architecture has been rewritten from the ground up. Now there are three main concepts - files that Media Move knows about, configurations which are a collection of steps, and steps which are settings for some kind of action or process that is done to a file. However, they all have lives of their own which means you can do some neat things with them.

Let's imagine that you have a module that needs to do some kind of file processing that Media Mover already supports. You can define a step- that is, a set of settings - much like a view - in code in your module. You can then invoke it simply:

An extremely unfortunate series of events has left me with a significant loss of data- hence at the moment all the posts here date from February of this year- I'm hoping that I can pull out more data, but things at the moment are not looking so hot. I'm hopping that I'll be able to recreate much of the information that was here on Media Mover and related media issues in Drupal.

update: recovery process has started.... I've lost all the comments, but at least I'm finding some of the content

1) Having to redo Apache php configuration. Need to turn on the module and re-enable any directory overrides you have
2) MySQL is unhappy. Here are some notes:

#sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop
#sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
#sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
#sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start

I put together a quick module to allow admins to restrict some CCK fields based on user roles. You can check it out here:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/cck_field_perms/cck_field_perms.module?rev=1.2&view=markup

update: This is a real module now, see: http://drupal.org/project/cck_field_perms

update Note that this has been incorporated into CCK and is no longer needed.

Here's the cleaned up version of the media mover hook. Changes are: renamed "new_config" to "new config", added "edit config", created support for editing and deleting individual configurations. There's quite a bit of clean up on the main media_mover module in this round, but obviously there is a fair bit to go, particularly in the admin side of things.

I've been working over the weekend to finish up the media mover hook system. I think I've finally finished out the final form of the hook and the different options that are available. Here's a commented version of what I'm using in the media_mover.inc file

/**
 * Implementation of media_mover hook
 */
function media_mover_media_mover($op, $action = null, $config = null, &$file = array() ) {

  switch ($op) {

    // give your driver a name
    case 'name':
      return "Media Mover module";
    break;

    // create a new configuration option set

Checkout Wolfengitmo. Whether parody is the correct term for this I'm not sure, however as a statement on detention centers it looks to be rather interesting. One wonders if Abu Ghraib is soon to follow?

If you want to wrap comments in a single template, but still theme individual comments separately, you can use this patch:

to support comment_wrapper.tpl.php
