"implemented pieces of kjartan's original nodeAPI patch. the mingling
of other modules into node.module logic decreases (a good thing). for
example, the string "taxonomy" now appears nowhere in node.module
- moved the saving of taxonomy terms when submitting a node out of
node.module and into taxonomy.module
- moved the deletion of comments while deleting a node out of
node.module and into comment.module
- improved usability of node forms by including node type in the title
of the box and page"
The syntax for db_query_range() was enhanced so it matches db_query(). So
you may pass extra arguments of the SQL statement which are checked via
check_query() and then substituted into the SQL statement. After these
optional arguments, you always pass $from and $count parameters which
define your range. Most often, the $from is 0 and the count is the max
number of records you want returned. Patch by Moshe.
- The pager_query() function for PEAR was enhanced so that it adds proper
GROUP BY statement counting the number of records to be paged. Patch by
James Arthur.
- MSSQL database scheme by Moshe.
The following modules need updating:
* glossary module
* feed module (Breyten's version)
* mailhandler module
* notify module
* project module
* smileys module
* admin module
* style module
* taxonomy_dhtml module
To avoid unexpected problems menu_add() is deprecated (it will print an
error message when used) and menu() should be used instead.
- Removed all instances of '$user->nodes'.
- Committed Moshe's taxonomy patch - minus the node_compact_list() bit. It needs a bit more thought/work. This patch changes the links of taxonomy pages/feeds so update your custom code and themes accordingly!
Themes should now use "taxonomy_link("taxonomy terms", $node)" to get an array of taxonomy term links. The old construct is deprecated and should be changed.
// old theme blob:
if (function_exists("taxonomy_node_get_terms")) {
foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($node->nid) as $term) {
$terms[] = l($term->name, NULL, array(), "or=$term->tid");
}
}
// new theme blob:
if (module_exist("taxonomy")) {
$terms = taxonomy_link("taxonomy terms", $node);
}
// old URL:
http://foo.com/index.php?or=1,2
// new URL:
http://foo.com/?q=taxonomy/page/or/1,2
parent is supposed to exclude terms that are descendants of the current
term, to avoid creating cycles. However, the terms with the first few
term IDs are excluded instead. Patch by JonBob.
- rewrote taxonomy_get_tree() for improved performance and cleaner code
- fixed a bug in _taxonomy_term_select() with multiple parents
- added hooks in vocabulary and term insert, update and delete
- fixed a bug in taxonomy_save_vocabulary() (cache_clear_all() was never
called)
the new table rendering functions, made the overview table's HTML
code a lot simpler, tidied up the status messages, and removed some
redundant check_output()s.
- consistency in return order
(http://list.drupal.org/drupal-devel/2002-December/009522.html)
- new functions: taxonomy_get_term_by_name() and
taxonomy_get_vocabulary_by_name()
- caches are flushed after vocabulary and term edit/delete; this should
avoid problems like forums not up to date
+ Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.
o Usability improvements to teasers:
+ Teaser forms are no more. Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---". Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.
+ Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.
+ When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown. This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.
+ Forum posts can be teasered now. This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.
o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).
o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.
o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.
o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.
- Fixed a bug with get_tree and multiple parents.
- Fixed 3 wrong caches (this will avoid some queries).
- Extension to taxonomy_term_count_nodes() (feature #159): "currently
calling taxonomy_term_count_nodes() returns the amount of nodes in each
term, would it be possible to extend this function so that it would only
return the amount of nodes of a certain type under each term.
- Confirm deleting a vocabulary or a term (requested by Moshe).
- Use form_weight() in vocabulary and term forms.
- After submitting a term, we end up at the term page (requested by Moshe).
- Added status messages when adding, editing and deleting vocabularies and
terms
- Minor clean ups
* Made sure all modules use the same link delimiter; "|" for now.
- removed admin options for queue and comment module if the modules are not
loaded.
- nodes are now auto promoted when queue module isn't enabled.
- moderation result block is now visible by the node author.
- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
* security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
* instructions re-organized.
* fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.
- updated node modules not to cause errors when taxonomy module is disabled.
- added %date variable to user mail configuration.
- added hyperlinks to admin.php?mod=system (site configuration) for easy access.
- usual coding style and xhtml fixes.
* fixed mails not being parsed properly.
* tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
comments.
* link to submission queue now points to the right place.
* fixed jabber module.
* theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.
+ Changed the db_query() API.
+ Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.
+ XHTML-ified some HTML.
+ Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
function.
+ Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().
+ Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
RSS code).
+ Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.
+ ...
for the meta system. The patches add some extra functionality to the
comment system (for example, comments can be set read-only) and fix a
couple of small problems.
+ I integrated the required SQL updates from the varius *.mysql files
into the "update.php" script. Upgrading should be easy ...
+ I did not apply/commit the "user.diff" as requested by Marco ...
+ I didn't know what to do with "forum.module" and "forum2.module":
what do you want me to do with it Marco? Which one should go in?
+ Can we remove "node_index()" now; both from "node.module" and the
themes?
+ Thanks Marco!
