part of the node system! If you have a module that implements node
types, you'll have to udpate its CVS HEAD version.
We replaced _node_name() and _node_types() by _node(). The new _node()
hook let's you define one or more node types, including their names.
The implementation of the _node() hook needs to:
return array($type1 => array('name' => $name1, 'base' => $base1),
$type2 => array('name' => $name2, 'base' => $base2));
where $type is the node type, $name is the human readable name of the type
and $base is used instead of <hook> for <hook>_load, <hook>_view, etc.
For example, the story module's node hook looks like this:
function story_node() {
return array('story' => array('name' => t('story'), 'base' => 'story'));
}
The page module's node hook module like:
function page_node() {
return array('page' => array('name' => t('page'), 'base' => 'page'));
}
However, more complex node modules like the project module and the
flexinode module can use the 'base' parameter to specify a different base.
The project module implements two node types, proejcts and issues, so it
can do:
function project_node() {
return array(
array('project_project' => array('name' => t('project'), 'base' => 'project'),
array('project_issue' => array('name' => t('issue'), 'base' => 'project_issue'));
}
In the flexinode module's case there can only one base ...
This hook will simplify the CCK, and will make it easy (or easier) to merge
the story and page module.
In addition, node_list() became node_get_types(). In addition, we created
the following functions: node_get_name($type) and node_get_base($type).
list_themes() sorts the results by name. This uses filesort in MySQL since there aren't any indexes. Sorting is not used except in system_user(). This one use can be handled with ksort since it is not often executed (only on the user edit screen when multiple themes are enabled).
And a one line fix to remove a variable in system_user() is in here too.
NOTE: this patch works well, but the improved node edit form still has
some rough edges. It is important that we continue to improve
usability. Give it a try.
Changes include:
* parsing of the primary/secondary links has been moved out of phptemplate and into theme_get_setting.
* unnecessary and XHTML-invalidating duplicate div#help removed from themes/bluemarine/page.tpl.php (this is already generated by theme_help)
* weird generation of the "edit primary/secondary links" messages removed from bluemarine and placed in theme.inc
* unnecessary changes to themes/bluemarine/style.css rolled back (the phptemplate bluemarine had an older version of style.css than the one in core)
* chameleon updated to work with new link scheme (passes links through theme_links)
- Converted the Bluemarine theme from XTemplate to PHPTemplate.
- Moved the the Pushbutton theme and the Xtemplate engine to the contributions repository.
Drupal's existing caching mechanism doesn't perform well on highly dynamic websites in which the cache is flushed frequently. One example is a site that is under attack by a spambot that is posting spam comments every few seconds, causing all cached pages to be flushed every few seconds. Loose caching immediately flushes the cache only for specific users who have modified cached data (whether or not they are logged in), delaying the flushing of data for other users by several minutes.
(I rewrote the help text a bit and made minor changes to the code comments.)
* Fix a bug which would cause the "configure" link for styles to be broken.
* Fix a bug with using drupal_get_filename for theme engines. Although this is not called anywhere in core, we should still fix it for contrib. (i.e. themes that may want to manually invoke a theme engine to create a hybrid theme)
* Correct an inaccurate comment in theme.inc
* Populate the default primary links with an "edit primary links" link for consistency with the secondary links
* remove some unnecessary variables in the theme administration which had misleading and confusing names
* replace time-consuming foreach when rendering theme admin page with a more efficient array_key_exists
* usability: rather than completely removing the search box checkbox when search.module is disabled, simply disable it. (UI elements shouldn't appear/disappear.)
- permissions menu link updates in a number of modules help
- anchor link fix in distributed auth help
- "my account" link fix in user help
- spelling correction in tracker.module help
- I also changed 'admin/access/perms' to 'admin/access/permissions'.
There are 5 main functions that modules may now utilize to handle images:
* image_get_info() - this function checks a file. If it exists and is a valid image file, it will return an array containing things like the pixel dimensions of the image, plus the 'type' and common extension.
* image_scale - resizes a given image to fit within a given width / height dimensions, while maintaining aspect ratio (not distorting the image). This function can be used to generate thumbnails, or ensure a maximum resolution, etc.
* image_resize - similar to image_scale (but will not respect aspect ratio - may well distort the image).
* image_rotate - rotate an image by X degrees
* image_crop - crops an image to a given rectangle (defined as top-left x/y coordinates plus a width & height of the rectangle).
Contribution modules will now be able to rely on these base manipulation functions to offer additional functionality (such as image nodes, photo galleries, advanced image manipulation, etc).
+ throttle module: flush cache when the throttle enables/disables
+ throttle module: prevent throttle being enabled by 0 users or guests when disabled
+ system module: remove requirement for statistics.module
+ block module: update help text to reflect access log is no longer required
+ statistics module: throttle is now enabled/disabled, not using levels 0-5
