* After having a chat with Dries we have agreed on the logics (or
more specifically he told me how its supposed to work). The queue
module is just a method to make moderation public, but its not
necessarily the only way. This brings the power back.
- Minor interface tweaks (names, case changes, etc).
- Fixed error that would show when you tried to view the profile of a
blocked user.
- Added node_admin_settings() to let users set node defaults.
* Added _nodeapi("conf")
- Modified form_checkbox() to unset options. (Modified the patch from Ax.)
- Removed the _save() hook.
- Fixed a logical flaw in field_get() and field_set() which would break
moderation.
- Moved some admin menus around and cleaned up some typos.
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.
- Added a _nodeapi hook that in time will replace the _node hook. Trying
to make as few changes to existing code as possible until the new api
is stabilized.
- Modified node_form() to add administration options from other modules
using the _nodeapi hook.
- Modified node_save() to fetch which fields should be saved to the node
table from the _nodeapi hook.
- Moved comment and queue options from node_form() and node_save() to
the modules _nodeapi hooks.
- 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
or "operation" link.
- Made the main page of the administration section show an overview of all
watchdog entries with such action link.
- Fixed typo in PostgreSQL database scheme.
- 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.
+ 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.
- 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.
"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.
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
}
}
