Recurring Updates to Drupal Modules
*Highjacking my own blog post*
Patch Drupal Core
Drupal 6 doesn't like empty, required radio buttons and this causes problems when using the Conditional Fields module. The patch here, allows the form validation to ignore required, hidden and empty radio-button fields. Patch at line 700. Referencing post is here.
WYSIWYG:
Apply this patch (at least until the editor is finally patched) to avoid the addition of
tags into blank paragraphs
Marinelli:
I've heavily customized this theme so any updates should be done very carefully. Unfortunately, I haven't thought about this much and don't know what the best approach to updating it will be. Right now, I just hope no updates come out.
Print
When new versions of this module come out the print/lib/dompdf/ folder needs to be replaced. This library allows for pages to be printed as PDF.
SMTP
Another module with a library that needs to be replaced. I recommend copying the original library into the new module folder. smtp/phpmailer/
Biblio:
There are two changes that need to be made to biblio files everytime the module is updated:
1. Change the appears of the export links:
"Tagged to Endnote"
biblio_theme.inc
line 922 954
function _build_biblio_tagged_link($base, $nid) {
"RTF to RichText"
line 912 943
function _build_biblio_rtf_link($base, $nid) {
