TODO:
- Comment module: remove other custom pagers in the comment module.
- Pager/database: it would be nice if the functions db_query_range()
and pager_query() would have the same semantic as db_query(); that
is, using a variable number of arguments that are automatically
escaped/checked.
- Removed a broken filter which caused some line breaks to be stripped.
- It is now possible to create short teasers and the '---' delimiter can
be outside the allowed range but not more than a factor two.
- Fine-tuned teaser extraction in absence of the '---' delimiter.
when the taxonomy module is disabled. Reported by kyvinh.
- Improved forum documentation. Modified version of Kjartan's patch.
TODO:
- Updating a forum topic through the admin interface, results in a
duplicate (and incomplete) forum topic. Also note that "Leave
shadow?" function is annoying; the status of the checkbox is lost
when clicking preview. Also, I think it should be disabled be
default.
- 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
- page_header() now adds Last-Modified and ETag http headers.
- When running PHP as an Apache module page_header() will check the HTTP
headers for conditional gets, and will only push the content when it
fails. (Works for html and xml pages as they are all cached). Note:
this is a PHP limitation, so until PHP makes it work for other web
servers this won't work for them.
- Added created field to cache database to hold the timestamp when the
cache was created.
- Changed cache_get() to return an object with ->data and ->created.
- Update forum and locale modules.
+ 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.
- Changed cache API.
- Fixed caching bug in comment.module. Odd this hasn't been reported yet.
- Fixed caching bug in forum.module.
- Fixed caching bug in system.module.
- Fixed caching bug in block.module.
- Simplified caching support in forum.module thanks to improved cache API.
- Adds more title info to each line in the block: now showing author and number of comments in a unified way accross all modules.
- Added pager support to blog module.
- Blog module now uses standard node view, not its own hack which is more theme friendly (http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=133).
- Blog module now uses node_feed() function for making RSS feeds. since all feeds are now consolidated, a couple tweaks to node_feed() and format_rss_* would lead us to support new RSS formats easily.
- Fixed bugs where unpublished entries were displayed.
now be changed on the book overview page in the admin page. Editing the
"Drupal handbook" (100+ pages?) on drupal.org became a time-consuming
process, hence these improvements ...
"This patch to theme.inc adds the ability for modules to insert HTML
into the <HEAD> section of all web pages. The additional modules in
this directory [ed: blog.module] demonstate possible uses for the
new _head() hook."
"This is a simple, generic pager for Drupal-CVS. It is designed to be
easily themeable and expandable. The code is highly-commented to
enhance readability."
"Pagers are constructed by combining the provided pieces (all of which
can be easily modified to display the text or image you prefer) into
your custom pager."
* Statistics module fixes by Jeremy:
- removed superfluous check for existence of watchdog()
- saving changes in admin page displays status and returns same page
- no longer return 1971/01/01 in "view statistics" table
- switched from "!=" to "<>" in SQL queries for ANSI-SQL compliance
- switched from "MAX(timestamp) as timestamp" to "MAX(timestamp) as
max_timestamp" moving towards ANSI-SQL compliance.
* Added a "theme_item_list" function to format itemized lists. Also
changed a couple of modules to take advantage of it. Makes for a
more consistent UI.
- Modules and themes now use the same functions to find and administer
files.
- Modules can now be placed in sub-directories.
- Theme descriptions can no longer be edited. This will be handled by
Dries' theme_conf patch.
- Update required to keep old modules enabled.
- addressed one of Ax's issues:
> = there are quite some "$output .= " which should be "$output
> = "
> (whenever $output hasn't been initialized before)
- combined a few lines that could be accomplished in one step
- changed "!" to "." in comment "This site is currently
sustaining..." as if a low number, it looks silly.
correctly. Patch by Stefan.
- Added missing t() functions and improved the %x directives for
better readability and to ease the process of translating your
site. Patches by Stefan.
- Made two small additions to the 'code-clean.sh' script; it will
now remove patch related junk.
NOTES:
- I removed the · related bits. Let's tackle these later on
in a separate patch after we got some sort of consensus.
- I removed the 'module_exist("drupal")' check in the user module;
I *think* it is incomplete and therefore incorrect.
- Stefan, try using quotes in your translations and check whether
everything still works. Example: translate the "Create account"
button to "Create \"haha\" account \'hihi\'" and see if you can
still create new accounts. Maybe automate this using a quick
hack in the locale module ...
+ Blocks are not longer called if not rendered: major performance
improvement.
+ Fixed some bugs (preview option was broken, path option was broken).
+ Removed "ascii"-type blocks.
+ Added permission to for "PHP blocks"
+ ...
NOTES:
+ You'll want to run "update.php":
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP remove;
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP name;
+ You'll want to update your custom modules as well as the modules in
the contrib repository. Block function should now read:
function *_block($op = "list", $delta = 0) {
if ($op == "list") {
return array of block infos
}
else {
return subject and content of $delta block
}
}
changes include:
* a couple of coding style changes, renamed some "stats" into
"statistics", etc.
* removed the "Who's online" block from the user module.
* added db_affected_rows() to the resp. database abstraction
layers and made the statistics module use db_affected_rows()
instead.
* added update logic to "update.php".
1. The locale admin menu items 'untranslated "langcode" strings'
'translated "langcode" strings' were not properly localized.
2. When inserting new locale strings the uri which generated the
new string was not properly set (the 'location' field in
locale table).
Patch by Ori.
- updated update.php and database.mysql disable a few more modules by default.
Without the config options in place to disable things this might confuse users.
- title of "blog it" item is used as default node title.
- added link to news feed admin pages on import_page.
- "blog it" link only shows when the blog module is available.
- 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.
- Revised the documentation: fixed about 5 typos, removed the bit about
downloading the module from the Drupal contributions repository,
updated the installation guidelines, etc.
- Added links to see poll results when you haven't voted yet (and to go back).
- Cleaned up code and moved large sections into separate functions for cleaner code
- Cleaned up the way of distinguishing between multiple polls on one page (now it just uses the nid)
- 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.
