+ 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
}
}
returned by theme_list() as it breaks the site ... The attached patch
prevents this from happening but does not remove the theme from the system
table in the SQL database - if the theme is removed from the database upon
viewing the themes administration page (or another trigger), I guess that
is fine.
Kjartan: my fix is the right thing to apply because theme_list() is used
elsewhere where it requires to return a list of existing themes.
Maybe it's a little sad but the current theme loading code might
be slower and more complex than the old Drupal 3 theme loading
code ... ?
or disabled as it will cause errors otherwise.
- split status into status and custom. Status will turn the block
on/off, and custom defined if the user can change the status.
Requires sql update.
- reintroduced user page to configure blocks.
+ 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.
+ ...
Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
password via email.
Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
BaseTheme instead of crashing.
* only problem is that the admin.php link is not available until the
admin enables the block.
* $theme->user is obsolete, will patch the themes properly in a
later patch.
- moved moderation block from theme.inc to queue.module.
* removed theme_moderation_results().
- updated database/database.mysql.
+ Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
more consistent in terms of mark-up.
+ Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
to $foo["bar"]. Made various other changes to make the import
module compliant with the coding style.
- theme.inc:
+ Fixed small XHTML glitch
- comment system:
+ Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
criteria are matched).
+ Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
has been asked for a few times. It will impact the contributed
BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:
sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
+ Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
from the database. This behavior is similar to that of deleting
nodes.
+ Disabled comment moderation for now.
+ Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways. They are part
of a bigger plan. ;)
- node system:
+ Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.
+ Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
to the $theme->header() function.
+ Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
them "object2array()" and "array2object()".
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
- misc:
+ Applied three patches by Foxen. One to improve performance of
the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
common.inc. Thanks Foxen!
In all themes, except Marvin which already had $title, I put the $title first, because it's usually the thing the page is about:
"The future of weblogs? - Drop.org"
"Your account settings - Drop.org"
rather than the other way around, right?
- Made the /comment links/ jump to the comments instead of to the top
of the page.
- Replaced the "Add comment"-button by a "add new comment"-link.
(This should make UnConeD jump up and down of wild excitement.)
- Moved all comment related logic from theme.inc and node.module to
comment.inc and comment.module (where they belong).
- Added some links to ease the site's usability/navigation.
as this breaks revisions.
- modified link_node() to take a third parameter $main, which will be passed on
to _link hooks. This lets modules decide which links a node will get when
shown on the main page, or when not.
- updated themes to use the new syntax.
tables: I changed all "id"s to "xid"s where "x" is the first letter of
the table name. I also renamed all remaining "userid"s to "uid"s as I
mentioned I would do. Take a look at ./drupal/updates/3.00-to-x.xx.sql
for the MySQL updates.
range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.
For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
sent to the mailing list.
- removed comment_controls().
- modified comment_render() to use $theme->comment_controls().
theme.inc
- added BaseTheme->comment_controls().
locale.module
- can now search for status independant of language.
- string is now a regular expression. For wildcard searches do .*text.*.
- can search in modules + pages, all modules or a specific module.
account.php
- fixed viewing other accounts info would show the active users name in the
real name field.
- now shows users recent contributions and comments (if the user has access to
them).
+ added new "tab" to import.module called "news sources".
+ improvement to import.module navigation.
- theme.inc:
+ renamed 'your contributions' to 'your submissions'.
+ added RSS 0.91(5) feeds to the blog module which makes it possible
to both syndicate an particular user's latest blog entries, or the
latest entries of all users.
+ added $theme->images()
- blog.module:
+ improved user-friendliness and rewrote most of the output routines
+ made quoted text /italic/ by default
+ integrated discussion system like it should
+ ...
- marvin.theme:
+ small visual improvements
Basically this is a 'nice version' of a hack that you could do as a theme author.
I've updated all the standard themes, but 3rd party themes will of course have to be updated by their authors, in the following manner:
- Replace the box() declaration:
< function box($subject, $content) {
> function box($subject, $content, $region = "main") {
- Replace the theme_account call:
< theme_account($this);
> theme_account("region", $this);
Note that you'll have to replace "region" with the correct region that the box is placed in. However if you have a one-column theme, you should use "all", and not for example "left" (if all boxes are on the left).
Usually the "region" here should be the same as the nearest theme_blocks() call.
Those theme authors who want to can make boxes that appear in the center look different from those that appear in the sides for example.
- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.
- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.
- Simplified user_access() API.
- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)
Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change. All other
themes and modules need updating too!
(groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).
+ Once installed, click the help-link for more information.
+ See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.
- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module. The system
still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
existing permissions need stream-lining. Awaiting suggestions.
- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.
TODO
- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
(Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)
- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
embed this role and permission code into account.module ...
it wasn't a good idea to split them up in first place, and it turned
out to be quite hard to decide where to put some variables.
Also moved some variables around and even renamed a few variables
while doing so.
- Added a page_header() and page_footer() to all top-level .php pages.
