- Fixed a typo in the MSSQL database scheme. Patch by Michael Frankowski.
- Removed dependency on "register_globals = on"! Patches by Michael Frankowski.
Notes:
+ Updated the patches to use $foo["bar"] instead of $foo['bar'].
+ Updated the INSTALL and CHANGELOG files as well.
- Tiny improvement to the "./scripts/code-clean.sh" script.
The syntax for db_query_range() was enhanced so it matches db_query(). So
you may pass extra arguments of the SQL statement which are checked via
check_query() and then substituted into the SQL statement. After these
optional arguments, you always pass $from and $count parameters which
define your range. Most often, the $from is 0 and the count is the max
number of records you want returned. Patch by Moshe.
- The pager_query() function for PEAR was enhanced so that it adds proper
GROUP BY statement counting the number of records to be paged. Patch by
James Arthur.
- MSSQL database scheme by Moshe.
+ 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.

associate different collections - think "combobox" here - with
different content types, all hardcoded references to "section"
have been removed and the admin-friendliness of the meta admin
section has been slightly improved.
I'll keep working on it during the weekend - if time allows me
to. Moreover, I'll focus on the usability/user-friendlines of
the meta admin section as well as graceful input-checking, and
error-handling.
Requires an SQL update, see updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
Index.module will be removed, or meta.module will be renamed as
soon we can ditch one of them. For now, having both coexist is
not going to harm your setup and is useful to make a comparison
and / or to migrate from index.module to meta.module.
Index.module is de-coupled form the rest of the system so you
will have to use meta.module after having upgraded. You have
been warned.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
- Removed headline.module: it became obsolete.
- Removed backend.class: it became obsolete.
- Added export.module.
For now, you can use:
1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf
- Renamed export to export.php.
For now, you can use:
1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf
Renaming this file has main 3 advantages:
1. We no longer rely on .htaccess for being able to export.
2. It is more conform with the general naming conventions.
3. It removes a pseudo-hack with formatting the URI.
- Made import.module export blocks with feeds.
- Rewrote the cron system. Removed cron.module and moved all cron
related options to settings.module. Cron was a confusing thing:
it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.
+ You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
the list. This is no longer required.
+ You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
up to. Instead, we now display a clear description message
for every cron involved.
+ The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
don't want to see this improve at the time being.
- Improved setting.module:
+ Now uses variable_set().
+ Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.
- Improved ./export.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
TODO:
- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
macro stuff. I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
bit more on my way.
CHANGES:
- Added "read" and "write" permissions into drupal but removed
it again because - when finished after 3 hours of work - it
was considered nothing but added complexity that didn't buy
us anything. :I
(I'll explain this in detail on the mailing list, I guess.)
- Added a very simple help.module to group all available
documentation on a single page.
- Fixed bug in node_control(), book.module: UnConeD forgot to
global $user when updating the combobox code.
- Removed static wishlist.module: in future, the wishlist can
be maintained as a page in our collaborative book.
- Revised most of settings.module: tidied up the code and the
descriptions to accompany the settings and introduced a new
"default maximum number of nodes to display on the main page"
variable.
- Revised most of comment.module: the administration interface
looks better now, integrated node permissions, and -finally-
made it possible to delete comments.
- Polished on:
+ account.module
+ structure.module
+ locale.module
+ module.module
+ forum.module
- Form-ified:
+ account.php
+ account.module
+ setting.module
+ cvs.module
+ submit.php
+ comment.module
+ forum.module
+ book.module
+ page.module
+ locale.module
- Updated CHANGELOG
INFO:
- Designed a "generic tracker system with optional backends"
on paper. The idea is to allow registered users to hot-list
certain topics, individual nodes or threads (comments) and
to "plug-in" output backends like - for instance - an e-mail
digest. The design requires "intelligent blocks" though.
TODO:
- I want to tidy up the headline.module and backend.class as
well as merge in headlineRSS10.module. Julian spent quite
some time working on headline.module but I'm not sure what
he changed and whether he'd contribute it back?
- fixed update bug in book.module
- provide a log message when both adding and updating book pages
- all configurable variables are now accessed through "variable_get()":
- rewrote watchdog and submission throttle and removed watchdog.inc
- improved robustness of sections.inc
- imporved story.module
- updated ./database/database.sql
