+ Updated the _user() hook's "$type == 'view'" case to match the
"$type == 'edit'" case. That is, both have to return an associtive
array of the format array('category' => 'fields').
+ Updated the profile pages to group fields by category. Made possible
thanks to the above change.
+ Moved logic out of the theme_ functions.
+ Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table). Update.php will try to determine
a 'created' timestamp for existing users.
+ The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
of tables. Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
TODO: migrate the birthday field.
+ The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
can be sorted using weights.
+ The profile pages can be themed.
+ The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.
+ Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
been renamed to 'edit'.
+ Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.
+ Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
avatars.
+ Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.
+ ...
I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.
- System: the 404 setting instructions advise using 'node', this should be '' (redirecting the user to the front page without any message whatsoever is confusing)
+ Tidied up the profile configuration page: grouped form elements.
+ Tidied up the block configuration settings: removed hard-coded
table.
+ Changed the profile API to return the preferred group name, and
changed the user module to group settings. Modules implementing
the _user hook will need to be udpated.
+ Removed register_form and register_validate for now.
To do this cleanly, I reorganised some bits of system.module: there is now a generic handler available for simple variable-get/set based configuration pages. Look at filter_admin() or system_view() for example usage.
(based on the patch by Goba)
Contributed themes and modules need to be updated:
- modules: status() is no more; use drupal_set_message() instead.
- themes: use drupal_get_message() to check for status messages and
visualize them.
Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
by the theme.
- Translation fix: made the word 'permission' translatable in the system module' help text. Patch by Goba.
- Translation fix: the ping module's help text was translated twice. Patch by Goba.
1) As explained by Al, there is still a glitch with the 'create content'
menu.
2) The user module part of the patch did not apply due to Kjartan's earlier
patch.
