Comment Notify for Drupal 5.x beta out

<< Drupal talent - demand outweights supply | DrupalCon in Barcelona 2007 >>
Wed, 07/04/2007 - 19:41 — Christoph C. Cemper

My Comment notify plugin I built for Drupal last summer is finally ready for the Drupal 5 version… just in time before the codefreeze for Drupal 6

I really hope I won’t take that long to port it to the 6.x version, but to be honest, I have no time to port my modules to the next major version if I haven’t even ported my own sites to the current major version. I still got a couple 4.x sites running… and in fact they are doing fine…

Anyways – the zip file with comment_notify 5.x is attached here, because

a) I didn’t have time to setup the 5.x version in the drupal CVS so far

b) I am not allowed to upload the zip to drupal.org anymore, just tar’s – and in fact i’m too lame to create a tar file WITHOUT all those CVS control files (control files of my local cvs excluded) ... dunno why drupal org disallows zip – I think it SUCKS big time!

Enjoy the new version and let me know what you think!

Success!

Hi Christoph,

I want to share my experience here and I found a minor bug. Okay, here we go:

- Downloaded and installed the module.

- When installing the patched comment.module:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')' in /home/www/doc/14393/infopirate.org/www_drupal5/modules/comment/comment.module on line 349

- Tried without patched comment.module and emails are not send.

- Checked out the patched module and a added a ',' at the end of line 349

- Emails are send but variables are not replaced by their values:

Hi %name,

%commname has commented on: "%node_title"

****
%commsubj ****
%commtext
****
****

You can view the comment at the following url
%comment_url

You can stop receiving emails when someone replies to this blog post, by going to %link1

If you have auto-blog-following enabled in your account, you will receive emails like this for all replies to a blog post you commented on. You can disable this by logging in and going to your account settings or unchecking the flag at the time you post the comment.

You can set up blog-following feature for all future posts by creating your own user with a few clicks here %uri/user/register

Thanks for your feedback,

- Noticed that the database needed an update... (Had Comment_notify installed before with Drupal 4.7)
- Updated Comment_Notify.module:

comment_notify mail text migration successful.

Updates were attempted. If you see no failures below, you may proceed happily to the administration pages. Otherwise, you may need to update your database manually. All errors have been logged.

* main page
* administration pages

The following queries were executed

Update #3

- Made another Test, WORKED!!!

Fine! I'm getting exited! Wohhhaaaa. One of the best Drupal Modules ever. Thank you very much Christoph!

thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback!

I forgot to add, that you need to run the update.php to migrate the mail text ...

I'm confused why the comment.module didnt work for you,
as I took the exact same version as it's running on this site.
I thought you took the .patch created by greggles on drupal.org

Thanks again for testing,
and please chime in HERE

http://drupal.org/node/156475

with a +1 so we soon can get rid of patching comment.module

thanks!

No Patch

Nope, I used the version that is included in your ZIP file. No patch.

Where is the Drupal 4.7 plugin?

Hi, I've been searching high and low for the Drupal 4.7 version of this plugin. Can you point me to a zip please, as it really seems to be just the thing I need for my site - I am getting comment spam trapped, but not til after subscribers have been notified, so all my users are getting the spam, even if it's not appearing on my site!

Thanks, James

  • Drupal6 is here - why we're not upgrading...

    So DRUPAL6 was released last week finally – this is the GO for all module developers (like us) and heavy drupal users (like us)

    to set aside their “normal” business (which is NOT drupal maintenance, consulting or else) and plan for DOZENs of hours and days

    to upgrade all their sites…

    Frankly,

    we are running DRUPAL 4.x sites

    we are running DRUPAL 5.x sites

    and we will be running the new company site for cemper.com on Drupal 6 soon (postponed launch for DP6)

    BUT, I will not and cannot commit to an upgrade mania solely to generate work and say we’re running recent versions
