SQL Parser

Component changed

A basic SQL parser and converter in very early stages of development. Currently it takes a raw sql string and converts it into a DBTNG object string. At the moment it is pretty heavily MySQL specific, but there are plans to abstract it out to be SQL independent.

There is still a lot that needs to happen to make this usable:

Use this module to interface with the Mollom backend API as documented at http://mollom.com/api. Because the Mollom module provides generic access to the Mollom Client API, we are focused on the Mollom Reseller APIs with some overlap due to the shared need to do authentication and error handling.

Concept

This module provides a backend that enables site builders to create custom slideshows without having a knowledge of how to build Drupal modules. Although the main focus of this module is the backend, it also comes packaged with a slideshow that can be used out of the box, and for some users this will suit their needs.

The Backend (the Framework)

This module provides the following features in the backend:

Normally drupal.org inserts version information when a project is packaged. Git repositories do not contain this information. Git Deploy hooks into the Drupal update system and attempts to provide the version of modules and themes checked out of git.

The 2.x version of git_deploy is recommended because it is much more stable but it does require the git binary and the ability for PHP to execute shell commands. The 2.x branch also introduced a new numbering scheme allowing for PHP version checks to work during development.

Drush tool to dump/update CTools (and some other) exportables.

To a site developer, CTools exportables (which includes Panels, Page Manager pages and Strongarm variables) and default Views, is a godsend for creating sites and then storing the setup in code. However, exporting the objects and saving them in the right files is a bit of a chore, and it is here Drush EM helps out by providing some simple commands.

This utility Drush add-on just deletes text files (not needed but are) packaged with Drupal; files like INSTALL.txt, UPGRADE.txt, README.txt (in multiple places), etc. This plugin is largely obsolete, or just dated since modern Drupal/web server configurations can deal with protecting these files from being accessed.

Allows users to create block instances of predefined block types registered by other modules.

Features

Difference to core blocks:

  • Modules register block "types".
  • Administrators can spawn new instances of a block type.
  • Block instances are entities.
  • Unless a block type opts out, Block API takes over the storage of configuration settings per block instance.

Major ideas and parts for the block instance handling have been based and borrowed from JohnAlbin's excellent Menu block module.

An example API implementation is available in a hidden testing module, which provides the equivalent of custom blocks in core; i.e., a simple title and HTML body.

Block API itself provides no block types on its own.

Contextual Query Language

Is a formal language for representing queries to information retrieval systems such as search engines, bibliographic catalogs and museum collection information. Based on the semantics of Z39.50, its design objective is that queries be human readable and writable, and that the language be intuitive while maintaining the expressiveness of more complex query languages. It is being developed and maintained by the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency, part of the Library of Congress.
