Comments on: Drupal Actions vs new core features http://rym.waglo.com/wordpress/2008/05/21/drupal-actions-vs-new-core-features/ Robin Millette / Waglo Labs / Penser Libre Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:39:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Robin http://rym.waglo.com/wordpress/2008/05/21/drupal-actions-vs-new-core-features/#comment-280249 Robin Wed, 21 May 2008 20:23:40 +0000 http://rym.waglo.com/wordpress/?p=1480#comment-280249 Thanks for responding so quickly, John. I had the feeling Actions was somehow different since it got incorporated into core (or backported, should I say). Should I roll out a patch (or many) to integrate token in actions? It doesn't have to be a dependency on token either, just make optional use of it. Thanks for responding so quickly, John.

See <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cvs/16013" rel="nofollow">here</a>. As for naming it differently, I think not. Drupal's module naming conventions already distinguish them. A 5.x-1.x release is different from a 5.x-2.x release. See <a href="http://drupal.org/node/93999" rel="nofollow">here</a>. That's why the views module is not renamed to views 2. Note that dependent modules can support both old and new style actions without conflict (though I strongly recommend going to Drupal-6-style actions, as I plan no more development for old-style actions).
