Object Oriented Programming and design

Is someone willing to make a definitive writeup of this? If you want to sit down and work together on this just let me know, and I'll help where I can.

I see so many parts of code snippets, and comments that it worked as well as comments that it didn't work, that I can't make heads or tails out of how it is supposed to be done.

Please if you post something try to be as clear and complete as possible so that people can understand, or maybe it is just me?

From what I gather:

I am working on a module for an NGO that does basic time tracking for projects. Initially I am doing this for D7 and then back porting it to D6 because it needs to be Open Atrium compatible.

The module is based on the Movico (MVC and OOP) style of creating modules for Drupal. I am finding that this makes Drupal more RAD friendly. Also since this is working code it shows the practically of the Movico methods and is allowing me to straighten out any kinks in the scaffolding.

I have updated Movico to work in Drupal 7 and will be making more updates for the demo. The demo is actually the workable code that will be downloadable via github: https://github.com/carlmcdade/Movico-D7

You can see the working demo and read the dev blog at:

Hello,

For your coding pleasure, we present: Quickstart 0.8 (bittorrent link).

Quickstart is a downloadable virtual machine, containing a pre-configured Ubuntu Linux PHP development environment. Develop and debug LAMP natively, on any computer, without hassle.

QS 0.8 includes updates and bug fixes to QS 0.7. If you're already using QS 0.7, below is a script that will make the bug fixes.

QS 0.8 was also used to make the HOWTO videos on the Quickstart YouTube channel: step debugging, performance profiling, simple email debugging, etc.

What's next for the project? Not quite sure, but I'd love some feedback on how it's being used, and what features or HOWTO videos would be useful.

I hope you find it useful, and thanks for whatever you do for open source,

Mike

Today we released the latest video module release video 6.x-4.1-rc6 and we added number of new features to the video module.

First we added several new features to the FFMPEG conversion, now video module is allow your to convert video for progressive download and we changed the module to use latest FFMPEG with fallback to older versions.

The Movico module is a scaffold for building Drupal modules in OOP and MVC. One requirement of the project is a hooking system, similar to Drupals, that uses OOP. The following is how I plan to build such a system using the PHP 5 reflection API.

I just spent the last day or so working on a scaffolding module that lets developers build a Model-View-Controller application as a module in Drupal 6. The code and ideas are still in beta stages but working beautifully. This is the fleshing out of ideas that came about under development of Drupal websites.

I've undertaken to update the classic Drupal article on OOP.

Hi,

Recently I switched from joomla to Drupal. As an OO-lover, I do miss the OO-concept in Drupal. I loved it in Joomla, but there it was really complicated and it was a hell of job to find something.

Since the scripting of Drupal is not so complicated, why not port it to OO? Let's find a compromise between the java-way of OO and a less complicated way of OO. More flat.
I have seen what is said about Drupal NOT even thinking of translating to OO. But there are also people who would really like to see an OO version of Drupal.

Hello,

Our web firm is having some trouble with some ical integration.

Most events show up in ical as one hour off, while others show up with the correct time.

Any ideas or direct support would be much appreciated.

Please email me directly at james.welsh@ursaminor.com

Thank You!!

The Droopal module allows for full OOP access to and from all custom and core modules. It is lite-weight and offers very little performance overhead.

I just released a module that lets developers use classes for extending modules, themes, and node types. I thought the folks in this group might be interested in taking a look at it. I'd love to get feedback on it. There's no real documentation for it, and the readme file is pretty thin. Please let me know if there's interest in using this discussion for flushing out the use cases, design approach, potential problems, ideas for improvement, etc.

Hi
In the Drupal we can see there are sevaral anti patterns , when we plug a themes we can see there are unwanted code we are working in theme.tpl file so the "Old Baggage" can be found (I don't know whether I'm walking on wrong or right way). Let us discuss about the anti patterns found in Drupal.
Thanks
