Dynamically Building Links With Comment Anchors When Comments Are Paginated

(All code examples pertain to a version of the Abuse module for Drupal that has not been released yet, as it is still being tested. A release version is in the works post testing by the community.)

Having links to comments via the anchor fragment of a url can be a great asset for users to share their content and for admins to quickly access questionable content needing to be moderated as I have found in my work revamping and improving the current Abuse module for Drupal.

Thanks to all of the feedback from the community and fellow team members, I have finally worked out and ringed the system of it's largest bugs plus, have been able to get the performance aspect of the module fine-tuned.

With all of that I'm am confident and ready to take the system out of beta status and into full release status.

There will be some major changes with the core framework module and the included plug-ins but, no changes to the db and data structure.

Drupal AHAH: Issues with drupal_render()

While integrating AHAH functionality into a compound CCK field that I'm currently working on, I ran into an issue to where my "checkboxes" FAPI type were not rendering when the form was rebuilt via AHAH.

Building Custom Compound Fields/Widgets for CCK Drupal 6.x

For the lack of documentation available focused on building custom compound widgets/fields for CCK, I've decided to write some based on personal work on building one such for use in my current project.

The widget that i'm building is a field to generate and select search results via user provided keywords. The end result given to the user in the node edit form is a field containing three elements:

  • Textfield for Keywords.
  • Submit Buttom to generate/refresh search results.
  • Table of checkboxes for choosing individual search results.
